A couple of years ago, I asked id Software’s Creative Director Tim Willits why they were calling their new game “Rage”. He replied that it was simply in keeping with their previous titles, such as Doom and Quake. This is not the response that I was expecting. Not that I was hoping for a game based around unrepentant anger, but [...]
Pre-ordering video games is a big business. Now, it appears to have become and entity unto itself, and in my opinion, just another way to draw gamers to a particular retailer, rather than being able to just order from wherever we want, and obtain the same quality product as everyone else. Take Batman: Arkham City. Bruce almighty, it’s a cracking [...]

It definitely does look gorgeous and also seems far more crisp than the console version I tried at Eurogamer Expo. This is the short story of one of the worst install sequences by a [...]
My first experience with RAGE at E3 2011 had left me with mixed feelings about the game. I loved the wonderful post-apocalyptic wasteland setting and the intense FPS action but the dumb enemy AI and the undercooked vehicle races were a big disappointment.

At this year’s E3 Expo, nestled within the bowels of the giant Bethesda booth were loads of consoles running a demo build of id Software’s latest game called RAGE. It was finally time to get hands-on with the game I’d been following for a while to see what John Carmack and his team were cramming into the new id Tech [...]
Now that we’re well into spring and the sheen of the new year is waning, it’s time to give a proper look ahead to the games we’ll (hopefully) be playing.
