Guitar Hero: World Tour is coming October 27 to all three major consoles (Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii), and you probably know by now that "Guitar Hero" now focuses on guitars in name alone. World Tour is a full-band affair that adds bass, drums and vocals to the mix, much like that other game from EA. What, did you think Activision was just going to ignore it? We recently traveled to Los Angeles to get some hands-on time with Guitar Hero: World Tour, and appropriately enough, the event took place at an actual recording studio. Much like the new …

Long before Activision picked up the rights to Ghostbusters: The Video Game, a video circulated online showing what amounted to a tech demo of the world's favorite ghost hunters walking around with their Proton Packs. The fact that people got excited about that simple video showed just how strongly we all wanted to re-visit the Ghostbusters universe, DailyGame included.

As we left E3 2008, we knew we had to create a special award category for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

Dark hallways populated by even darker demons? Check. That was our opinion at 9:00 am. By the time we left Electronic Arts at 6:00 pm, having played the (literal) hell out of three massive levels, our opinion changed entirely. Dead Space is anything but a DOOM clone.

Sacred 2 is a sequel long in the making. When the original game released on PC in 2004, the action RPG earned critical accolades and a cult-like following, so a sequel was bound to come down the pipe. But the sequel that CDV is publishing for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 later this year isn't just more of the same; it's more of, well, everything. The online multiplayer is intact, as is the hack-and-slash gameplay, but the graphics, audio and quest list have gotten bigger, badder and bolder than ever. Although categorized as an action RPG, Sacred 2 …
