A City Without Streets, An Assassin Without Memory: Remember Me Hands-On Impressions

Admittedly at first glance the most impressive thing about the Remember Me demo at this year’s PAX East was probably the Nilin cosplay walking around taking pictures with anxious gamers. Capcom does tend to have a history of putting together an underwhelming show floor presence; a little more promotional work and even some theatrics never hurt anyone. This is the exterior however; those who allow themselves into the heart of the booth can find hidden treasure. Lately Capcom has been putting...

Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds Hands-On Preview

Maybe it's the celebrated line-up of characters. Maybe it's the dazzling special attacks and super moves.

Scratch: The Ultimate DJ Preview

In an age where plastic game-controller instruments far outnumber the real ones, the majority of gamers use games to sate their melodious appetites.
