Game Rant At San Diego Comic-Con 2010

On Friday, the focus will be on Twisted Metal , Dead Space 2 , Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 , Fable 3 , Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions and Gears Of War 3 . Showing some of the most anticipated games on the gaming horizon, there will be tons to


Now, Fable 3 might not be anywhere close to Crysis 2 , but the PC version does have a massive graphical overhaul - when compared to the Xbox 360 version. Aside from offering a greater resolution, the PC version also supports 3D. Many might argue that 3D is an unnecessary gimmick - but there's no denying it's a very pretty one. While the term, "eye-popping" might be overused - the 3D in the PC version literally makes the game's graphics pop, which adds an extra layer of icing to the c


Welcome to the first day of Game Rant's E3 2010 coverage. The first big event of the show, Microsoft's press conference, is scheduled to begin at 10:30 AM Pacific Time. No doubt there will be a ton of information on the newly named Kinect . But what else? Will we see the rumored Xbox 360 Slim ? Any new news on Halo: Reach or Gears of War 3 ? And what surprises are in st


Overall, the PC version does deliver some aesthetically pleasing differences from the Xbox 360 - most notably the graphics improvements, but it's still the same game. Even though it looks prettier, the same flaws remain. If you have a great PC, and you haven't already purchased Fable 3 , pick it up. The RPG elements may be minimal, and simplistic, but the game still manages to be an engrossing experience - because of all the things you can do in (and to) the wo


Saturday there will be panels for Rock Band 3 , Dance Central , Red Faction: Armageddon , Epic Mickey and Guild Wars 2 . While these panels may not be as big as the ones taking place on Friday, there should still be lots to keep your eyes


Leading up to E3, the Game Rant team put together a pair of lists of our most anticipated confirmed games E3 2011 and our most anticipated rumored games . Several of the rumored games did end up being showcased at the annual Los Angeles event, but were our hopes and anticipation justif

Welcome to This Week in Gaming, where we take a look back at some of the most newsworthy events in gaming history from last year to even decades ago that happened this very week. Take a gander at some of the highlights and see which spark nostalgia and which may still be news to you.


The nominations were decided by all 11 of the Game Rant staff in attendance for E3 and are based upon our previews, demos and hands-on experiences with all of the available titles at the event this y


Oftentimes, the other concern, when discussing ported games, is the controls. Lionhead claimed that this was their number one priority in building the PC version of the game. They completely reconfigured the control system for the PC - taking advantage of key things like the mouse wheel (which is used to switch between magic, guns, and swords, similar to how it is used in shooters to switch weapons). The game controls well, and even for a native Xbox player I found it easy to pick up and play. Of course, the game also supports gamepads, and using the 360 controller offered a equivalent experience to playing on the X

Peter Molyneux is the man, or as the title suggests, the God, has been in the business since 1982. He began his climb to the top of the mountain by selling floppy disks containing Atari and Commodore games. After he dabbled in the development of a business simulator and some database systems, Peter founded Bullfrog Productions. Their first title was Populous, an award-winning god game which sold more than 4 million copies. In 1997, he left Bullfrog to join Lionhead Studios where he found more success and immortalized himself as a designer. Black & White, a god game with strategy and fighting elements, won many awards and became the company's flagship title until few years later. Fable Weapons|https://fablelegendary.com/, an open world RPG, brought the company even greater success. It placed Lionhead at the top of the industry. Peter Molyneux has since left the studio to found another. Wherever Peter works will be innovative.

It was the console to beat all others. Nintendo announced its new system two years before its unveiling. It was named, "Revolution" and had everybody buzzing. We now know it as the Wii-- a less than threatening name that is more suited to Nintendo's goals. "Revolution" served as a wonderful project title filled with mystery and excitement. However, according to Reggie Fils-Aime, it would not translate well under many other languages. Plus, a name like that would have probably caused an uproar from Americans stating the Japanese are out to get them again. That didn't happen...at least to my knowledge. Wii is friendlier and less menacing. Nintendo was right about the Wii's original namesake, it did cause quite the revolution in the video game industry because of its highly advanced motion sensor system.


Frankly, any chance I can get to see the Rock Band Pro Guitar in action is fine by me. As a guitarist, I'm extremely interested to see the peripheral. Also, as a huge fan of Red Faction: Guerrilla , I can't wait to see what they do with the sequel, and get a glimpse at the insane amounts of destruction that will be possi
