Seems The Gears Have Rusted, “Snake’s Final Mission.”
Friday, June 20th, 2008Metal Gear Solid 4 was released last week to universal acclaim. Solid Snake’s final mission was a success. Benny & Rafi Fine of RavenStake.com took this into account and present a new episode in the wildly popular Kung-Fu Grip entitled “Metal Gear Solid: Snake’s Final Days” on The Escapist.
Snake has cancer and thus begins his […]
A Long Way from Friends, New Alone in The Dark Teaser.
Monday, June 16th, 2008What do you get when you mix the unknown, the most visited urban park in the United States, and near perfect shooting accuracy? Aside from one hell of a movie, you get the latest Alone in The Dark teaser trailer by Atari Interactive and Eden Games.
Is Central Park really for the people?
The latest teaser asks […]
Now we have to pay for demo!
Sunday, April 20th, 2008The release of Gran Turismo Prologue will be remembered for two things. First it is the fastest-selling PS3 title in a single week but more uniquely its the first time you’ve had to fork out a few bucks to play a demo.
Admitedly it is a work of art, and even as a […]
Vader and Yoda in Soul Calibur 4
Wednesday, January 9th, 20081up 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 […]
I Hate 9-Year-Olds.
Sunday, December 2nd, 2007Okay, so I know I’ve posted my fair share of Guitar Hero III stuff (and Dragonforce in particular, those bastards), but I couldn’t resist this one. Above is a 9-year-old who most likely doesn’t have any friends. Not because he plays Guitar Hero III, but because accomplishing what he does requires that you sit […]
GTA IV Box Art Revealed. How Exciting.
Thursday, November 29th, 2007Rockstar Games revealed GTA’s box art this week, letting everyone get a glimpse of what will be hidden on their shelf for the next 3 years. Since the game has already been delayed until next year, this splashy new reveal does nothing for me. Who gets excited about the cover of a game? […]
Nintendo Kills Time AND Space.
Tuesday, November 27th, 2007
Greenpeace has released a ‘Guide to Greener Electronics‘ List, ranking the top manufacturers based on their policies on toxic chemicals and recycling. And guess who ended up in DEAD last? Family-friendly Nintendo!! How bad did they do? Here’s a brief snippet from Greenpeace:
Nintendo - New to the guide - first global […]
Assassin’s Creed Alternatives
Wednesday, November 14th, 2007The reviews are starting to come in on the uber-hyped Assassin’s Creed (did I really just watch a South Park episode that only took breaks to show Assassin’s Creed commercials?), and the consensus is that it’s totally…well, you know…fine. Many of the complaints ( IGN, 1up) cite the repetition of intelligence gathering and […]
DragonForce: A Video Game Paradox
Monday, November 12th, 2007According to Wired Magazine’s Blog, the band DragonForce’s music sales have increased 183% over the past week due to the inclusion of “Through the Fire and Flames” on Guitar Hero III. Now, there’s something incredibly strange about this, because after massacring the song during an online faceoff a few days ago, I realized I […]
Zero Punctuation on Orange Box
Thursday, October 18th, 2007Before I say anything else, you NEED to go buy The Orange Box. I don’t care whether you get the boxed copy from EB (although I’ve been hearing some backlash around the community over the box art; I don’t think it’s that bad) or you get it from Steam. BUY IT. Anyway, here’s another installment […]
Rock Band: Big F*ckin Trucks?
Tuesday, September 11th, 2007As a contrast to Guitar Hero III’s face-melting song demo, Harmonix has dropped a Rock Band trailer featuring…uh…Car Surfing. Think Death Proof with Drums. That is, if anyone actually saw Death Proof. Regardless, there’s no gameplay footage, just some dudes (and a girl, because chicks dig rhythm-based games) hopping from vehicle to vehicle to the […]
Guitar Hero III: Good F*ckin’ Luck!
Wednesday, September 5th, 2007There’s a run through of a new song on Guitar Hero III that will make most people want to pack up their plastic guitars and cry in a corner somewhere. The song is called “Through the Fire and Flames” (which automatically makes it the best song ever) and it is pure GH insanity. Wrap your […]
Call of Duty 4 Hands-On
Friday, August 24th, 2007IGN posted a hands-on report of the Call of Duty 4 Beta a few days ago, and just now, Screwattack.com has posted 30 minutes of commentary and video, with the promise: “We’re gonna go on record and say we don’t think ANYONE on the net will have this much video of the beta this soon.” […]
Insomniac Loves Them Some SIXAXIS
Sunday, August 19th, 2007Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction might be the first game that really makes me wish I had a PS3. Insomniac seems to understand how the SIXAXIS controller should be used in a game - to enhance certain aspects, and not replace the entire control scheme. I’ve always loved the variety of […]
Call of Duty 4 “Last Stand” Video
Tuesday, June 26th, 2007This is officially more than I have ever talked about Call of Duty. I don’t know what it is about this new one that has me so excited, but I digress. Gamevideos recently posted this new video showing gameplay entitled “Last Stand.” I haven’t seen anything else about this yet, but from the video, it […]
