  8. Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown Review

    For all of its achievements in the 19 years since it was born via a partnership between Lockheed Martin and Sega, AM2's Virtua Fighter series has never received the wider praise it deserves.

All the while, beneath those achievements emerged a game of exceptional depth and nuance.

  14. App of the Day: Block Rogue

    Review | App of the Day: Block Rogue

    Roll with it.

    You're trapped in a dungeon and you have amnesia: Block Rogue's set-up doesn't promise too many surprises, but beneath the rather traditional façade lurks a wonderfully quirky adventure. Buzz Monkey's iOS and Android charmer takes elements from the basic Roguelike format (there are a series of caverns for you to explore: how deep can you go?) and throws in the kind of game mechanics that would be more at home in a Sokoban block-dragging puzzler.

  15. Eurogamer's Best of E3 2012

    Feature | Eurogamer's Best of E3 2012

    Game of the Show, Best Tech, Best Publisher and more.

    It was the E3 that nobody wanted to happen. Rumours around the show floor claimed Microsoft had been planning to announce its next-generation Xbox until a couple of months ago but pulled out and Sony gratefully followed suit - or the other way around. Which left us all standing around like party-goers when the guest of honour doesn't show, politely grazing on the canapés of previously-announced games and making smalltalk. Awkward!

    Feature | The Eurogamer E3 2012 Scrapbook: our experience in photos and words

    Booth babes, Snoop Dogg, Carmack's VR headset and pole dancers.

    Last week, Eurogamer flew on an aeroplane to Los Vegas - oops, Freudian slip - Los Angeles, to report from the annual video gaming extravaganza, E3. You'll have read some of our coverage already, and there's plenty more to come. But, headlines aside, we also wanted to share what it's like to be at E3, and so we asked each Eurogamer writer - Oli Welsh, Fred Dutton, Robert Purchese, Jeffrey Matulef - to document their adventure via a gallery of smartphone or compact camera images. These were to be quick, rough pictures to capture a moment - not exposures for a photography contest. We also asked the writers for a brief summary of their E3 2012 tour of duty. Behold, the Eurogamer E3 2012 Scrapbook.

    Review | App of the Day: Catapult King

    Castle crashers.

    ZombiU Preview: Wii U's Surprise Package?

    Ubisoft channels Dark Souls for its ambitious Wii U survival horror.

    It was very tempting to ignore Ubisoft's Wii U survival horror ZombiU on the E3 showfloor last week. The combination of that anonymous title and the seemingly gimmicky gameplay demo shown during Nintendo's conference gave off a very distinctive whiff of Red Steel, the French publisher's limp attempt at a quick core offering for early Wii adopters back in 2006.
