Remember Impulse?  They're no longer their own thing, after GameStop picked them up, but this is good news for Steam users who've always wanted to try Stardock titles.  Since Stardock's platform now belongs to GameStop, the company can begin offering their games through Steam and other digital distributors without any conflicts of interest.  The move begins with one of Stardock's most popular and

Once again, the Call of Duty series proves to be a valuable brand for Activision. It's estimated over 6.5 million units of Modern Warfare 3 were sold within 24 hours since its launch, bringing in more than $400 million in sales. The feat is more impressive when you consider Modern Warfare 3 was only sold in North America and the United Kingdom on its first day of sale. Modern Warfare 3 managed

Responding to community concerns about EverQuest 2's divided player-base, Sony Online Entertainment has announced plans to merge the standard edition of the game with the separate free-to-play "Extended" version.

Curious to see more of the new DmC Devil May Cry?  Yeah, the one where Dante was smacked with the parallel universe stick.  More interesting than emo-Dante, however, is the world itself and its Bosses, both of which look much more impressive than our protagonist. The images are incredibly vibrant, bursting with more color than a pack of Starbursts, and we get a close-up look at two Boss

The next saga in RIFT pits players against the infamous Abyssal Cult yet again, as the "Water Saga" brings back creatures of the watery depths to inflict lunacy upon Telara's residents.  Being Ascended, clearing the land of these creatures is definitely your responsibility.

Interactive today confirms it has shipped no fewer than 4.6 million copies of Batman: Arkham City globally since it first launched October 18th.  The shipment figure alone is double the amount of copies of Batman: Arkham Asylum sold during its week on the market back in 2009, so it's a pretty good bat-sign that the sequel is on its way to being a top seller. With over 4 million
