Bad Company 2 Demo Survival Tips
Read more about Battlefield Bad Company 2 - Prima Essential Guide Game Guide
Are you as addicted to the Battlefield Bad Company 2 demo as I am? I’ve been playing the game for nearly three months now and I still can’t get enough, squeezing in at least one hour of multiplayer every evening. But if you’re having a tough time grasping some of the new (and old) concepts, here are a few quick tips.
Tag Those Targets: You may have noticed the red/orange icons above enemy units. This is the result of your knowledgeable teammates tagging targets through the new Comms system. To tag a target, aim at an enemy unit and press the Comms button; “Q” on the PC, “Back” on the Xbox 360, or “Select” on the PS3. Tagged targets are visible to all teammates both on the HUD and minimap. This is an easy way to communicate with your entire team, [...]

Sucked into the Void
Read more about Dark Void Game Guide
With some projects, not all, it might take a few missions or levels to get drawn into the game. It’s usually not the fault of the game itself, but rather a side effect of having a kick-ass job like writing guides. Confused? Okay, hear me out. You see, at the start of a project, I try to approach the game very… “clinically.” That is to say that I try not to see it as a game, but as something to diagnose, take apart, reassemble, and present to the reader. Basically, I try to set myself up to do a good job.
In some cases, however, the game makes it very difficult to remember that I’m working. Dark Void was one such title. As soon as Will and Ava crash landed in that lush jungle inhabited by freakin’ aliens under mysterious [...]

Mass Effect 2 Guide Author Speaks!
Read more about Mass Effect 2 Game Guide
Catherine Browne recently finished writing Prima’s official game guide for Mass Effect 2. Here she shares some of her thoughts on the process of writing a guide and the game itself.
I played through the original Mass Effect twice – once going straight Paragon and then next indulging my inner Renegade. I still think the pacing is fantastic, hurtling toward that breathtaking final act where every narrative thread comes together for one of the most satisfying climaxes in an adventure game yet. So, naturally I was excited when the opportunity to write the Mass Effect 2 guide arose. Not only would I get to play Mass Effect 2 months before anybody else, but more importantly, I would also get to see how the story continued into this second chapter. By now, we all knew Commander Shepard met a hard fate at [...]

Ready for the 40th Day?
Read more about Army of Two: The 40th Day Game Guide
Today marks the release of Army of Two: The 40th Day, featuring Salem and Rios in another fist-bump-worthy adventure. I had a lot of fun with the first game, but this one is a whole new beast with some welcome additions and tons of super-cool new features. And I’m not saying that just because I wrote the guide. I really feel the latest installment is a huge improvement over the original. So what are some of my favorite innovations? I absolutely love the one-button melee attacks. It’s especially satisfying to sneak up behind a distracted enemy and dispatch them with your bare hands…or a bayonet. Grenades are also now assigned a button of their own making it much easier to frag thugs during a heated firefight. But that’s just the beginning.
Perhaps the most exciting feature of the new game is [...]
