Jim points his steed to the brown pastures of Red Dead Redemption for another round of cowboys and...uh, cowboys. The Tumbleweed Gold Rush is afoot, and Jim has a gun and a badge!

Operation Flashpoint: Red River is coming out next month, and today we've got another trailer for you. This one profiles Rifleman Sgt. Kirby. He sounds like he needs a hug. The hyper-realism the series is known for should remain in tact. This is one of many OF: RR trailers we've brought you. It seems like we've got enough footage for a feature film. If you want to check them all out just look under the "Related Stories" heading.
The Xbox LIVE Marketplace has plenty of co-opportunities this month. Were more than halfway through March, and there's still a ton of gaming on the horizon. Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime is coming out next week, and there will also be a deal on competitive and co-operative four player games, called Arcade Four-Play. Is that right? Really? My sources say, yes, it's called Arcade Four-Play. Fantastic. Don't forget, one of the best co-op titles from 2010, Halo: Reach, is coming to Games on Demand. What are you waiting for? Start converting you hard earned cash into Microsoft Points now.
Old school gamers, prepare your PCs. The Sega Genesis Classic Collection Gold Edition has 46 titles of pixelated awesome, and it's available today. You can get your co-op on with titles like Altered Beast, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, and more. This collection has already been released digitally on Steam, but now you can pick up all four Volumes in on compact physical package. For a full list of all the titles, read on.
Ah....March. The snow is melting, the days are longer, and the birds are chirping. It’s also the time for Spring Training and the start of baseball season in the United States. With that, we're checking out the PS3 exclusive, MLB 11: The Show and its brand new online co-op mode in our latest review
Sometimes a game is so bizarre in concept that it just immediately grabs our attention. Animales de la Muerte has done just that, and probably grabbed the attention of PETA at the same time. Developed by High Voltgage Software, creators of The Conduit 2, the previous Wii exclusive has been cancelled for that platform and moved over to the "next-gen" consoles and PC.
We've just received three brand new screenshots from Dead Island, the four player co-op survival horror game set in a tropical paradise. There's something really intriguing about the dichotomy of the screens - the beautiful landscapes combined with the bloody, rundown objects from a zombie apocalypse.
Sometimes, the announcement of a title seems to be the answer to your prayers to the video game gods. LotR: War in the North was one such case for me. I’d been whining for some years about how the current generation of consoles suffers a shortage of truly great dungeon crawlers and fantasy hack-and-slash games. I think many of you share my lament in this area, and we’re quick to point to titles such as Balder’s Gate: Dark Alliance and Champions of Norrath (both developed by Snowblind) as great games of this type on the last generation of consoles. When Snowblind announced they were working on a new title in the LotR universe, I was pretty darn happy. After getting some hands-on time with the title PAX East last weekend, I can safely say this game is living up to my extremely high expectations.
This s#!t like Tribes yo. That was the official one sentence description given by our own Mike Katsufrakis after playing Red 5’s upcoming free shooter Firefall. It should come as no surprise then that the game’s lead designer, Scott Youngblood, was also the lead designer on Tribes 1 and 2. Trust us when we say this is a really good thing.
LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars is not only rivaling the SOCOM series in lengthy and complicated names...it's also bringing out the big battles. Along with these epic landscapes and sprawling leagues of combatants Traveller's Tales is including more driveable vehicles than any previous LEGO game.
A new trailer is out this morning for Battlefield 3 that looks just as tasty as the first. The trailer is called "Fault Line Episode 2" and follows our fireteam onto the roof of a building under fire from a hidden enemy sniper. The tense trailer continues as our team works their way across the roof from cover to cover only to...well - I'll leave you to watch the video to see what happens. Lets just say a lot of potted plants were harmed in the making of this video. Oh - and one building.
