Unfortunately for Japanese manga and anime fans, the majority of video games based on those two mediums don’t often make it to our shores. Reasons such as licensing and popularity get in the way, but every once in a while we’re lucky enough to get something based on our favorite franchises... More

I’m a fresh-faced hunter, new, bottom of the pecking order: a noob. I sit in a room of four, drinking brews, staring in awe of the hunters before me. These men – no, these gods – chat breathlessly about what creatures made of legend should be cut down. I remain an observer; hunting... More

Vampires may be all over pop culture today, but they weren't quite as ubiquitous back in the early 2000s. They still reared their heads every once in a while, though, and one of those times was in BloodRayne for PS2. In this episode of Replay, we take a look at the first game in the series, which...

In preparation for whatever Sony is planning on showing us tonight, we're looking back on all of Sony's previous home console iterations. Maybe looking back at these will give us an idea of what to expect, or maybe it will just be a fanciful trip down memory lane. PlayStation - The system that... More

Capcom’s Monster Hunter Tri servers shut down in April, but the upcoming release of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate for Wii U and 3DS on March 19 promises to invigorate the series. As a veteran hunter who started fighting dragons and other beasts on day one, I’m here to tell you why this series... More

This week we take a look at Free Radical Design's TimeSplitter's 2, which boasts many former Rare employees that worked on games like GoldenEye 007 on the N64 among its developers. We were amazed at just how many similarities there are between this goofy game and everyone's favorite N64 FPS... More

As I wrote in my Lost RPG Franchises article , the chances of seeing another Shadow Hearts installment are slim-to-none. But every time the series’ December anniversary rolls around (this year is the 11th anniversary), I reminisce about everything it offered role-playing game fans: intriguing,... More

Halloween is quickly approaching, and we took a look around the vault for a suitably creepy title. We've covered survival horror classics like Resident Evil and Silent Hill before, but we wanted to dig a little deeper this time. Fatal Frame is a fondly-remembered PS2 series, and tasks the player... More

The Metal Gear Solid series is filled with insane moments ranging from a fight with an octo-president to a freak who telepathically reads your memory card data. While these instances are unforgettable, they don’t match the heart-warming rally shared between longtime partners Snake and Otacon after... More

Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it, and all of the console makers could extract some lessons from this current generation as we approach the next round of systems. Here are some of the things that the console makers could improve based on some of the trials and tribulations... More

I didn’t know anything about Grand Theft Auto the first time I saw Grand Theft Auto III. I walked in on a friend playing the game. My first thought was it didn’t look very good compared to other PlayStation 2 titles and the jump animation was ridiculous. My friend seemed excited about the... More

At this point, you can find over 100 episodes of Replay over at our hub page . While we've done a lot of episodes, there are a few finished episodes that you've never seen. On occasion, Reiner will decide after an episode that it's not up to the usual Replay standard, and that episode will... More

We all have (mostly) fond memories of console launches and the excitement of those early days. The sexy new graphics. The new batch of games. The untold possibilities. A handful of Game Informer editors jotted down some of their memories about those heady times. What do you think? Tell us your launch... More

While the original SSX was one of the highlights of the Playstation 2's launch lineup, its sequel was perhaps the best in the series. With its new installment on the horizon, we thought we'd take a look back at what might be the best snowboarding game of all time. Be sure to stick around after... More

In celebration of the recently announced Starhawk, we decided to go back to an earlier game from many of the same developers. Incognito Entertainment made such great titles as Twisted Metal: Black and the 2007 PS3 Warhawk, but looks to have disappeared as many employees have split off to Eat Sleep Play... More

In the world of peripherals that never really caught on, the EyeToy wasn't quite as much of an embarrassment as the likes of the e-Reader, the Game Boy Printer, or WiiSpeak. However, it didn't exactly fly off store shelves or revolutionize the industry. A handful of titles were designed exclusively... More

Before Naughty Dog was crafting the cinematic masterpiece that is the Uncharted series on PlayStation 3, they were behind a beloved series of platformers for the PlayStation 2. On this week's edition of Replay, we take a look at the very first Jak and Daxter game and discuss our feelings on the series... More
