Vader and Yoda in Soul Calibur 4

1up has a story up today about the first batch of bonus characters that will feature in Soul Calibur 4. Thus far, Namco has only revealed Darth Vader and Yoda, but 1up’s James Mielke speculates that they’ll probably release other characters as well, possibly as DLC, since they already went to the trouble of obtaining […]

Zero Punctuation does Halo 3

I have posted in a while, and it was about Halo 3 last time, too. Last time, I promise. Anyway, if you haven’t yet, you NEED to check out this guy’s work here. This is his latest video, but he’s got about 10 more. Every video absolutely skewers the game in question. If you don’t […]

Gamer Idiot Pays Nearly $10,000 For WoW Character

This story makes me cringe. Apparently, Zeuzo, a rogue from the guild “Method” on Sylvanas-EU, has sold his account for 7000 euro, or $9,500. Zeuzo’s gear included the legendary sword set Twin Blades of Azzinoth, 4/5 Tier 6, and many other Hyjal/BT loots. The new owner has transferred to Kazzak and is happily PVPing […]

We’ve all seen that episode of South Park where the “hardcore” gamer is seen in a very satirical manner, as having no life. The episode finds its hook in the fact that in order to compete with him, the boys have to abandon their own lives. One of the hottest debates over MMO gaming in […]

So the Halo 3 beta is over. Come on, get those tears out. Bungie has posted some numbers about how many people participated, how many hours were logged and all that jazz. They’ve also released some pictures of the new Halo 3-branded accessories we’ll all be able to get our greedy mitts on before long. […]

Soul Calibur 4 Teased

Earlier today 1up posted the first teaser trailer for Soul Calibur 4. I gotta say, it looks pretty slick, except for the fact that there’s not really any animation in it, at least as far as the actual characters go. But maybe that’s a good thing, considering Ivy’s, um, assets. This REALLY gives the word […]

Admit it, after Blizzard announced StarCraft 2, you’ve at least thought about or already have dusted off those old StarCraft discs and are once again getting owned by some Korean kid on battle.net.

Consoles Vs PC… This again?

So since the dawn of time.. Well perhaps since the dawn of the late 90’s, the console versus PC debate/debacle has raged on many a forum and newsgroup. It’s usually never a worth while argument. The general anonymity of the interweb turns civil discourse into the kind of public display that normally adorns bathroom […]
