What makes you MAD? What if someone started raining missiles down on your base? Mutually Assured Destruction just might be your game.
Duke Nukem Forever. Even saying the name can start any long-time gamer giggling. A little past the 10 year anniversary of it's announcement; there's a brand new 'teaser' trailer for Duke's latest installment. I'll leave the editorials out and let you make up your mind on this one, but here's some fun facts.
If you can do without the rock star feeling of Guitar Hero, maybe you'll get some satisfaction out of being one hell of a Hand Bell Hero instead? Have a great Christmas, guys!

Attention prospective Sentinels: do you have the drive and determination to defend the sector? Do you have the razor-quick reflexes and unrelenting attitude required? Then join the Sentinels of Mijil today!
Fanboys abuzz with excitement about the enormous merger between two of the gaming industries finest: Blizzard (World of Warcraft, Starcraft, etc.) and Activision (Guitar Hero, Call of Duty, etc.) are now Activision Blizzard. Whether this means anything for the future games from the new company has yet to be seen, but hopes are high for 'Guitar Zealot' and 'Call of Dutycraft'...
You've probably noticed the Holiday Re-skin by now, just a fun way for the team at XGen to wish all of you Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas!

Commander, you are required on the front lines. Protect mankind from rampaging interstellar interlopers by defending the last remaining nuclear facility; this is Invasion - Tactical Defense.
Unbelievably not for sale yet, here's some great electroluminescent blinds for that confining cubicle or claustrophobic bathroom that you have to use everyday. They use new technology to cleverly simulate having a new window, without the fuss of smacking a hole in the wall. Sign me up.
It's true, Deus Ex 3 is in production! For anyone that missed the original: Deus Ex was one of the first great blendings of the shooter and RPG genre. The lackluster and "console-ized" sequel was a disappointment to fans, so lets all cross our fingers. Check out the Teaser Trailer.

With Mass Effect now available in stores, I can officially confirm XGen's involvement in fellow Edmonton-based studio Bioware's latest epic.
Jordan Dubuc and I had the opportunity to work internally with Bioware on the award-winning Mass Effect, an invaluable and humbling experience. We feel fortunate to have worked with a team of such talented professionals and industry veterans from within the legendary studio, on a truly ground-breaking next generation title.
If you haven't had the chance yet, check out the official Mass Effect website for trailers, screenshots, and further information. With an average rating of 93% on Gamerankings.com, you may want to do yourself a favor and pick up a copy.

March onward through time itself to conquer your ever-evolving enemy. From muskets to plasma rifles and cavemen to cyborgs; Age of War spans millennia to satisfy your deep desire to dominate.
Tesla Coils and music? Not an everyday combination, but when geeks are involved anything is possible. The Mario Brothers Theme and the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy performed on delicate, expensive laboratory equipment.
When the Japanese do wacky, you know it's going to be mind-bending fruit-salad-down-the-pants kind of wacky. Here's the most infuriating game of Tetris ever created.

Tired of your standard tank just blowing...
Tired of your standard tank just blowing up the second the enemy peppers you with light ammunition? Try this one out; it's absolutely indestructible! Bound through the air and slam them out of the sky, Indestruc2Tank now featured at XGen!
This one is just too impressive to not share; Guitar Hero 3 -- Through the Fire and Flames -- Expert difficult. Jaw-slackening will ensue.
And just for fun: split-second photography, 5,400 frames per second of popcorn popping, and Half Life in 60 seconds.

By popular demand, we present the flash homage to Valve's new-era puzzler; Portal. Get thinking creatively and make your way through the test chambers, courtesy of Aperture Science! (The Cake is a lie!)
Resounding disappointment was felt as Super Smash Brother's Brawl was pushed back to 2008. However, as long as they keep adding content, characters and now even the ability to create your own levels; I'm perfectly fine with waiting as long as they deem necessary.
If there's any hidden meaning in Da Vinci's masterpieces, then you can now discover them online; The Last Supper is available in a crystal clear 16 Billion pixels.
Oh and Happy Halloween! Try not to have as much fun as this guy did... Or this guy... Creepy.

Oh, and for the record, Robyn refutes Danny's claim of 'Best Stick Arena player' here at XGen; Maybe they these two need to square off and settle this once and for all?

Damn it! Who let the Evil Helvian out of it's cage? Great; looks like he let the villagers out, too. Bear with us while we re-capture him and clean up this mess...
In the meantime, check out the trailer for Fez. It's a side-scrolling puzzler that allows the user to flip the world around your character in 3D, then pop back into 2D for the gameplay. Something like Paper Mario on steroids; clever.
Tattoos based on temporarily trends or floaty fascinations are rarely a good idea; here are some hideous personal regrets sprinkled with video game flavour.
