We already learned a couple weeks ago that BioShock Infinite would be slipping into 2013, and now you can add Tomb Raider to that growing list.
A fun but frustrating experience, MLB 2K12 is more iteration than upgrade.
It's time once again to take gamers out to the ball game with the newest installment in 2K Sports' digital realization of our nation's pastime. Major League Baseball 2K12 has implemented an improved pitching mechanic and updated rosters, but it continues to fall behind Sony's MLB The Show series due to recurring technical problems and less-than-intricate mechanics.

You might get jelly if you play on a console.
In just one week, PC and Mac Portal 2 players will get the chance to build their own single and multiplayer puzzles using an in-game editor that will be added with the second batch of DLC, the “Perpetual Testing Initiative." Although there is no word yet on this DLC coming to consoles, the fact that this update comes in the form of an in-game editor should provide some level of optimism for console supporters.
Yes, Tails is in this game and no, he doesn't talk.
Sonic the Hedgehog has had a sketchy period for some time now. Many would say that titles released this generation have been mediocre at best, with only Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations recently being exceptions. If you want to enjoy a good Sonic game, the majority of fans would point you back to the early 90s when Sonic stood toe to toe with Mario with titles like Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic CD and Sonic & Knuckles.
