Mike Grimm and I were fortunate enough to get a hands-on with Saints Row: The Third recently and damned if it doesn’t bring out the kid in us! Immediately following the demo, Volition’s Drew Holmes sat down with us and essentially confirmed our belief that it’s basically confirmed what we …

We’ve known for a while now that The legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is scheduled for release in Q4 this year. So we expeced some point in December, sufficiently early to secure massive Christmas sales, but long enough away that we’d be in perpetual yearning for what would feel like …

Shadow Complex was a big success for Chair Entertainment and its owner Epic Games, so it%26rsquo;s not surprising that last March Chair%26rsquo;s creative director Donald Mustard promised (opens in new tab) the company would be delivering a follow-up.

There%26rsquo;sno more punches being pulled, very little restraint, and quite frankly it looks like its embracing everything a true “sandbox” game …
