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 …

Ever the promoter, Don King carved some time from his busy schedule to answer our questions about his first foray into gaming and explain why he …

For all the attention THQ and the Red Faction Guerilla team have (rightfully) received for their environmental destruction, LucasArts has been working on its own deformation-friendly action game called Fracture.

It's safe to say most consumers' first, if not only, exposure to Jason Bourne was the series of Bourne films starring Matt Damon. Sure, Robert Ludlum may have written a few novels, but Hollywood reigns supreme when it comes to mass-media action, and, well, Matt Damon's version of Jason Bourne is 100 percent action. With that in mind, it's a bit disconcerting to fire up The Bourne Conspiracy for the first time on the good ol' next-gen console, because Jason Bourne is (gasp) not Matt Damon. However, that doesn't mean Jason Bourne as he appears in …

The most successful action games of late have featured characters and/or times of historical significance. Kratos (God of War) relied heavily on Greek mythology, for instance, while Altair (Assassin's Creed) jumped his way through the Third Crusade. But no characters or period is quite as universally recognized as the four horsemen and the apocalypse, which will provide not only the basis of THQ's action game Darksiders: Wrath of War, but some fantastic story fodder from which the developers can draw. Darksiders: Wrath of War takes players …
