Early this morning I had the opportunity to sit down and see how far Alpha Protocol has come. As followers of the upcoming game are aware it was delayed from late last year to June 1st of this year. They claim that the game was completed in time for its original release date, but they wanted to add some more polish. I can safely say that the increased waiting time is a small price to pay for a game that looks to define the genre and further blur the line between 3rd Person Shooter and RPG.

2K Games showed us Civilization V during a presentation off site from the main events at the Moscone Center. We were led upstairs into a theater-esque room where we reverted back to high school with our notebooks ready to take notes and expand our knowledge on the instructor's lecture.

It is truly possible for Nintendo Wii games to be ported on the PlayStation 3 using the PlayStation Move Controller? But what Wii games have the potential to arrive on the PlayStation 3? We know third-party studios would love to make more money on their Wii games that didn't get enough reception on the Nintendo Wii!

It’s not often that I find myself having to look through the instruction booklet of a game just to learn how to play it. Most games these days offer in game tutorials, and start off basic enough that even the most moderate of gamers won’t have much trouble quickly catching on to the mechanics.

Since playing and watching how God of War II ended, I couldn’t wait for the last game in the series that will put an end to Kratos’ journey. With God of War III finally here, there are a lot of things to talk about as to why game could potentially be a contender for Game of the Year. The game has indeed nice graphics but what else is there to look forward to?

DICE has released their sequel to their well received game Battlefield: Bad Company in 2008. The game takes everything it excelled at such as tactical decisions, addictive multiplayer, and amazing destruction and improves on them all while correcting its weak points to make this a true contender for the #1 spot for the FPS genre. Welcome back to Bad Company! Marlowe, Sweetwater, Sarge, and Haggard are taking charge once again in the infamous B-Company.

Ah, the good old days. Nothing was better than waking up on a Saturday morning, and after cereal and cartoons, going to the grocery store and begging your mom for a bag of those artificial chemical smelling, shiny green plastic army men. There’s something delightfully nostalgic about Signal Studio’s Toy Soldiers, and that quality alone sets it apart from other one-off’s that have flooded the so-called “tower defense” genre.

Many Mega Man fans will remember how Mega Man 9's difficulty and cheap deaths made it a game that only appealed to seasoned veterans who had been with the series from the beginning. A year and a half later Mega Man 10 has been released and it looks to gain a wider audience by toning it down a bit in certain areas while still pleasing its loyal followers. The story here is simple.

Mass Effect 2 is one of those games where every decision you make will have an effect on how the rest of the game is played. These decisions can be both helpful or it can lead to some severe consequences. In other words, Mass Effect 2 can be a pretty difficult game for some if you're not steered in the right direction. And if you are such an individual who is finding the Final Mission of Mass Effect 2 to be quite difficult fret not, as Just Push Start is here to help you.

Lunar Silver Star Harmony is a remake of the classic PS1 RPG Lunar: Silver Star Story. The PSP sees a lot of ports and remakes, some good and some bad. Being a part of the PlayStation family, it seems obvious to use the handheld to bring some of the RPGs of days gone by back to life, in the form of an updated remake. Meaning it will bring an entirely new audience to the series.

When it comes to movie-based games, I try to get away from them as much as possible due to the fact that most of them suck. The last movie-based title that I played was Toy Story 2 and that was released on the PSOne back in 1999. Sure, I loved it because I was a fan of Buzz Lightyear during those years. Now that I'm in my twenties, I gave myself a try for another Disney movie based game; this time it's Alice in Wonderland.

Since Deadly Premonition was first announced during E3, I already have a premonition on how this game will turn out. I was intrigued by the trailers that were shown to me and quite honestly, it was one of the games I've been anticipating the most. From the looks of the trailer, the game seems to be very mysterious due to some scary scenes. With Deadly Premonition finally out in stores, how does a low budget game stand out with all the other survival-horror games out there?
