The Witcher 2 is a dark, mature fantasy epic that tells the tale of Geralt of Rivia, an amnesiac Witcher accused of murdering the King he was tasked with protecting.

Releasing tomorrow, 25th April, Bloodforge is the second entry in the Arcade NEXT line-up featuring an incredibly depressing fantasy world with lots of gruesome murders and malicious maiming.

If that sounds too dark ... more.

Let's face it, Max Payne has always been best on the PC, but Max Payne 3 looks set to take your poor rig past its limits.  But rejoice, as Rockstar have finally outlined the system specs for Max Payne 3 and they aren't really that bad. You'll still need a computer from the Star Trek era to run Max Payne 3 at maximum settings though, so don't worry if you've been waiting for an excuse to upgrad... more.

First and foremost Trials games have always been about difficulty, and while Trials Evolution dials it d... more.

The onslaught continues with more images from Halo 4 showing character artwork, models, and in-game footage. It isn't just the Chief who's received a make-over for Halo 4, but the Grunts and Elites too.  It'll be interesting to see what other characters have benefited from Halo 4's updated Reach engine.  There's also a sexy naked hologram in there, who seems a lot taller than she was before. ... more.
