Poker is a game that works the best if you know how to bend the rules.  Some of the things you do may not be cheating really, but you are looking for a weakness not only in the game but in the people you are playing against too.  You have to understand the person and know their weaknesses, if you can crack their poker face then you can tell just how good a hand they have.

In Poker Night 2 the people, robot and animal you are playing against are fairly easy to read and you get to know just…

Poker is a game of chance, where the cards you are dealt determine the success of your game. On top of that though is the human aspect of the game, even if you are dealt a bad hand you can lie your way through to victory all by being able to bluff your opponents and forcing them to fold.  It takes a cool hand to be able to do that though, and true masters of the game can tell when a person has a good set of cards, or trying their best to lie through it.  This is part of the fun of Poker Nigh…

SimCity is a game all about controlling resources and making your city the best in the region.  To do this you have to keep your people happy and keep them under control, and this includes finding a fine balance between policing them, keeping them happy and keeping them alive.  This means that the city has to be strong and have one of the main things that all living creatures need, and that is water.

Water is one of the most basic needs that the Sims will have in your city and it’s probab…

When I took a look at the Jetstream Sam DLC for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance it was noted that the next content to be made available may actually be the most interesting of them all.  Now that it’s released we have the chance to see just how Blade Wolf, or as he is known in this game LQ-84i does in his own prequel to Revengeance.

As you’ll know if you are looking to purchase this DLC, LQ-84i is in fact a talking robotic dog, so this is going to be somewhat of a change from playing as Ra…

When Telltale Games released Poker Night 2 one of the biggest revelations was that Claptrap would be a part of the game.  Although he’s one of the most annoying characters from the Borderlands universe he also brings some fun with him, so he can be forgiven a little for his attitude problem.  What he also brings as well though are unlockables not only for Poker Night 2 but for Borderlands 2 as well.

One of the first things you’ll see from Borderlands 2 is that Mad Moxxi is the bartender t…

Google Play gamers are getting a major overhaul of their gaming experience today thanks to a quartet of new features. Real-time multiplayer, leaderboards, cloud saves and achievements are all now available on a number of Google Play/Android games.

Much like Apple’s mature Game Center, the "Google Play Game Services," feature brings gamers together in scoring systems, and real time multiplayer events. However, unlike Apple’s closed service, Google Play Game Services will be available acros…

The sixties seems to be a popular time for films, television shows and games to use for a time period for the historic alien invasions that started it all.  The Bureau: XCOM Declassified is yet another game to travel back to these times and puts you in the role of William Carter, a man who will become important in the XCOM world.

The year is 1962 and Earth has been invaded by the “Outsiders”, Carter and two other squad members have been given the job to travel to New Mexico to investigate…

Now that we can play Metro: Last Light we have the chance to fully complete the game.  This means that we need to know exactly what achievements need to be obtained, and in a game like Last Light prepare for it to be quite a rough ride.  These achievements will take you through hell all in the name of getting that full game score, if you are up for the challenge of course.

With tasks that will take you up into the destroyed streets of Moscow and take you through the dark tunnels that your…

After the closure of THQ it was questionable if Metro: Last Light was ever going to make it into gamers hands.  With Deep Silver picking up the game for distribution though we finally get to play the follow up to Metro 2033.  Luckily for us it looks like the developers 4A Games didn’t let all the uncertainty get in their way and have handed over the finished product.

What 4A Games have managed to provide us with is a dark tale of post-apocalyptic Moscow where World War 3 has ravaged the l…

While we wait for Total War: Rome II to come out in September to prepare for battle it can be fun to go back to Total War: Rome and see where it all started.  The graphics may have aged slightly but the action has not.  Based in the early Roman Empire (270BC – AD 14) you took control of one of three Roman families.  Outside of the main campaign though you could work as other factions.

To gain an edge during gameplay though there were ways to cheat.  These codes could give you money, make …
