Game designer John Romero and John Romero's hair ruled the roost during the 1990s. With titles like Doom and Quake, he not only helped popularize the first-person shooter, he defined it. Then the unthinkable happened. He made Daikatana. More »

Meet Simon Crane. He's got huge balls. Obviously, we're not talking about actual testicular size per se — you could have a rhinoceros penis and elephant nards for all I know. No, we're talking about nerves of steel. More »

We'd always thought Torchlight, the game that many have generously labelled as simply being inspired by Diablo, had been a cult hit for developers Runic. Thing is, 500,000 copies sold isn't a cult hit. It's a hit. More »

Halo creators Bungie may have signed a publishing deal with Activision, but let's not forget, there's always the possibility they can sign with rivals Electronic Arts as well. More »
Earlier today, we showed you a rumored test board for the 3DS. The board image indeed came from the FCC, but we aren’t 100% sure that it’s 3DS related. Perhaps a good, hard look at the board will help reveal some more details. Thankfully we have someone in-the-know when it comes to [...]

You gotta give Prince of Persia star Jake Gyllenhaal star credit. That's some great hair. So great that perhaps it, not Jake, could star in a biography film about Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. More »

Epic, and its series of Unreal Tournament games, used to be known as a PC-centric developer. These days, consoles come first, something that rankles PC gamers no end. More »
When he's not busy being formally introduced or eloquently headslamming foes, Alpha Protocol's Michael Thorton is hopping on planes, trains, and automobiles around the globe. In the game's latest trailer (found after the break), Thorton travels to exotic locales the world over ... and kills people! He's a lot like that James Bond fella, but without the namby pamby English accent getting in the way (we kid, Brits!). AP is due to hit retailers in under two weeks -- just enough time for Thorton to tour the globe three or four more times. We'll be watching our backs just in case he stops by.

The epithet "fanboy" may be one of the useful verbal barbs one can sling at the faithful follower of technology—consumer electronics, video games or otherwise—as the console wars rage on. Where did this catch all insult come from? More »
Not since we've seen a DeLorean in Crysis have we been so in love with a mod. Team Portress, a 3 Point Games Community mod for Team Fortress 2, adds the iconic gun from Portal into the mix. As you'll see in the multiple videos past the break, nothing stops a Scout dead in his tracks like a nice portal trap.
Some necessary changes had to be made from how the portals usually operate. For example, there's a timer for each portal, instituted in order to keep players from being stuck in perpetual loops. Also, by reloading, you can manually kill any active portals in the game world.
Peer past the break to check out a bunch of videos showcasing the mod, courtesy of 3 Point Games and Pixelated Geek.
