Perhaps you've seen the commercial: An armored figure struts fearlessly through battle in a wooded glade, blasting away a pack of soldiers with a shotgun, smiting a military helicopter with a bow and arrow, leaping ferociously into a melee with a vicous aliens, seemingly without a care in the world as ZZ Top's "Sharp-Dressed Man" thunders in the background.

Volition Inc.'s "Red Faction" and "Summoner" series may have a future after all.

The same can also be said for "Darksiders," "Homeworld," "MX," "Destroy All Humans," "de Blob" and pretty much every other THQ property that wasn't sold off in the company's auction last month.

As expected, Sony Computer Entertainment formally announced the PlayStation 4 on Wednesday night.

Yes, the new console’s name was predictable, but why waste brand recognition?

Here's some hits from the variety of gaming news in my inbox:
