The next installment in the Xbox 360 exclusive racing simulation series that never ceases to amaze – Forza Motorsport 4 – has a release date. You’ll be making uber-realistic digital cars go vroom on October 11 of this year.

Check out the true meaning of insanity in the gameplay demo below.

The E3 demo suppressed my fears once and for all. The Kinect support consists of optional voice support for selecting one of the conversation strains that Mass Effect is know for, and the ability to use hand-motions to move your squad into new positions and formations.

All things considering – it could have been a lot worse – but don’t take my word for it. Check out the E3 video yourself.

Mass Effect 3 will conclude the trilogy early 2012.

The Lost monster from Fable 3 is back and after gypsies – and only you, the player, can save the world of Albion in this first-person on-rails Kinect game.

Players will be making a variety of hand gestures to blast their enemies with magic, drive a horse-drawn carriage, and at at some point do what I could only interpret was the macarena.

Peter Molyneux suggested that this game might make players feel “a hundred times more involved in Fable”, but it’s only distancing me even further from the franchise I once loved.

Needless to say – Fable: The Journey left me utterly unimpressed.

Words cannot describe the throbbing erection I have for this game.

The Postal series has always been known for pushing the envelope in the gaming industry with Running with Scissors brand of dark humor. Vaseline-covered fists, Ron Jeremy love affairs, and gun-toting MILFs – oh my! If the following trailer doesn’t put Postal 3 on Fox News’ list of  games to blame for murder sprees and public ejaculation - I don’t know what will.

Not too shabby, if I do say so myself.

Now, English is my only spoken language so I have no idea what the guy is saying, but that’s not what matters. What matters is the amount of ungodly lag that takes place during gameplay that starts around 0:40.

EA has recently launched Origin, a rebranding of their digital distribution service for PC – Now with social networking! Sound familiar? It should. It’s EA’s attempt to take on Steam.

From the site you can download the 34MB app. It has all the basic features you would expect from a service of its nature, but comes up short when compared to the digital distribution juggernaut that is Steam.

Currently Origin has a meager 150 EA titles while Steam only offers gamers a whopping 1,100+ games from various publishers.

Is Origin dead on arrival? Maybe not. The one saving grace may be upcoming Origin exclusives such as the highly anticipated MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic.
