Majesty 2: Battles of Ardania

Majesty 2 is a game I’ve praised as being an innovative take on the real-time strategy genre by never being directly in control of units, but rather influencing them by setting quests, or waypoints, and enticing them to carry out your bidding. Majesty 2: Battles of Ardania continues the comical story and keeps the gameplay intact, but hardly expands the game enough to warrant yet another skirmish in the lands of Ardania.

Majesty 2 has a tongue-in-cheek storyline that is always self-aware

In UK top sellers, Black Ops leads

Call of Duty: Black Ops was the top seller in the United Kingdom last year, according to recently released figures from The UK Interactive Entertainment Association.

Surprisingly, Black Ops did not lead the PC’s top sales, which went to Football Manager 2011 and Football Manager 2010, proving once again: the UK love their footie.

Back to the Future: The Game

The 1980s were a good decade for blockbuster films. Grandiose action comedies with ample opportunity for a few good explosions, these films also provided perfect fodder for videogames. Sure, the Atari 2600 and the NES weren’t able to do much more than platforming or shoot em up versions of these films, but occasionally they were pretty fun.

Not the Back to the Future games. Those games were terrible titles that had little to do with the films, and were either weird skateboarding titles

The Most Anticipated Wii Games Of 2011

On the surface, it seems that the Wii's lineup for 2011 isn't quite as robust as those for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. Part of that may be because Nintendo is focusing heavily on the launch of the 3DS. However, if you remember this year, two of their biggest titles weren't even revealed until June at E3. We knew nothing of Donkey Kong Country Returns and Kirby's Epic Yarn until the Nintendo press conference, and they're both on retail shelves as I type this. Because of this, the list you
