Trekkers have a lot to look forward to all of a sudden in the gaming space. There’s the new Star Trek game coming out from Paramount Pictures Interactive Entertainment and developer Digital Extremes in 2012, which is set in the new movie universe. And for those who want to go retro, there’s Star Trek: Infinite Space. The new free-to-play, browser-based game is set in the Deep Space Nine universe, which also correlates with Star Trek: The Next Generation. Gameforge talks about the new game from developer Keen Games, which focuses on epic space battles, in this exclusive video interview below.

The E3 2011 Sony Press Event started off with an apology for their recent Playstation Network outages, but by the end of the night there was no need to repent for anything. The day started with tons of free food truck grub (and beer) and ended with a free-for-all of live game demos and a surprise performance by Jane's Addiction (also more food and beer). Below you'll find a selection of highlights from throughout the night: the new games, the PS VITA, Kobe Bryant, the ballerinas(?), and Jane's Addiction...

Just in time for E3 2010, German videogame publisher Gameforge has inked a worldwide licensing agreement with CBS Consumer Products to publish free-to-play (F2P) browser games based on the legendary science-fiction franchise Star Trek. Acquiring the Star Trek license marks the start of Gameforge’s global expansion, as the online game publisher begins development to bring the Star Trek universe to life in browser-based properties, beginning in 2011. The first games under the international licensing agreement will take players into the deep reaches of space in the Star Trek Classic timeline as well as the tumultuous and vibrant timeline of Star Trek Deep Space Nine.
