This game is fan-*crag*ing-tastic, you should all buy it. Even though it's a prequel to Fusion, it's also a spiritual successor to Fusion; it is, like, an evolution of the classic 2D formula, only more action-packed.

It *crag*ing sucks.

I liked prime mostly for theexploration and interaction , prime 2 was probably my favorite because of the weapons and story, and prime 3 had the best music, so for me it goes as follows :2,3,1

oh yeah and hunters was actually a good game, but i dont consider it a main prime game.

PlayStation Around the Web: What We Read

Hothead revealed Swarm for the first time back at E3. Then, we didn't know much about the game -- it's actually still in pre-Alpha, despite a launch window of "early 2011." Today, we were given a demo of the game at PAX and finally understood what we were dealing with.

It's hard to see the game and not compare it to Lemmings. Both games have a seemingly dull-witted cast who have found themselves inexplicably stuck in an incredibly dangerous environment. And both have the same means to persevere: teamwork.

PAX 2010 - cosplay gallery

I know times are tight, especially for one-man indie dev teams, but, as a service to the gamers of Earth, Chris Hecker has got to get a better booth.
In a nondescript corner of PAX, under a nondescript banner and sporting slightly worse than nondescript graphics (all placeholder, Hecker assured) it would have been easy to miss SpyParty. It would have been a particularly unfortunate fate considering it was (drumroll) the best thing I've played at PAX so far.

Weekly Webcomic Wrapup is anxious for PAX East

Just because you aren't at PAX Prime this weekend doesn't mean you can't experience at least some of the joys and wonders that the show floor has to offer. For instance, the 10 straight minutes of Portal 2 co-op gameplay that we've dropped after the break, courtesy of GameTrailers -- hearing the "oohs" and "aahs" of the crowd on all sides, you'll feel just like you're there! And sure, you might not get a free Portal 2 shirt like this session's attendees did, but you can experience a heartwarming robot hug. And isn't that more than enough?

i admit, the hugging is cute.

Here's the BioShock Infinite Game Informer cover(s)

With all the hubbub going on this weekend at PAX Prime in Seattle, we're more anxious than ever for the return of PAX to Boston. Did you know that those lucky devils at PAX Prime got a chance to play Duke Nukem Forever? Also, hey, that game exists! All we got was an attempted theft and some guys recording a podcast (or whatever).

So we're hoping for big things next year. Nay, expecting them! The return of Starcraft: Ghost, perhaps? Under the guidance of ... umm ... Bungie Studios! It makes perfect sense! Alright, alright -- maybe not. Either way, here's your weekly roundup of all the best gaming-based webcomics. If we're missing any of your favorites, please let us know in the comments!

In the mean time, check out our seven favorite strips from this past week below, and vote for your favorite in the poll after the jump!

Combat Assistant (Virtual Shackles)
Old School (Extra Life)
X-Ray Vision (Dueling Analogs)
Authorization (Brawl in the Family)
The Carriage (xkcd)

Meatbag-hating droid HK-47 teased in Star Wars: The Old Republic

Next month's Game Informer cover isn't revealing a new game - unlike last month's Batman: Arkham City cover - but it's still got plenty to offer. Behold! Three separate BioShock Infinite covers, crafted by Irrational artist Rob Waters, that ape the old-timey, Norman Rockwell aesthetic of "The Saturday Evening Post." Unveiled during a PAX panel titled "From Concept to Cover: The Game Informer Selection Process," GI Editor-in-Chief Andy McNamara shared not only the final three covers, but the many revisions that went into each one. We've got some galleries below of each cover and its various revisions, including some commentary from both Game Informer and Irrational.

Retro City Rampage is 8-bit GTA

Bungie revealed an interesting tidbit about the creation of Noble, the protagonist Spartan squad engulfed in the conflict on the titular planet in Halo: Reach. There were initially more members of the team, though two were eventually cut in favor of the five in the final Noble team we know today (excluding Noble Six, the player character in Halo: Reach).

"Back in the early days, we talked a lot about The Magnificent Seven and The Seven Samurai," Luke Wilson, story and cinematics lead, said. "And yes, originally, there were seven Spartans. Here's a little bit of trivia for you guys: Rosetta and Tom, yes, were two of the Spartans we had to cut, unfortunately."

Wilson described Rosetta as being "sassy," while Tom was "a cowboy." If you need us, we'll be pouring one out for the first casualties in the Fall of Reach.
