Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles is a rail shooter. Enough said, I think. Rail shooters were fun when I was a kid in an arcade, but that’s because I liked shooting things from a first-person perspective. These days every other game is a kick-ass FPS that allows you to actually move your character around freely, […]

Squad control, air drops, and mechs are getting us excited about Tiberium. A first person shooter with buttery-smooth looking gameplay and a lot of multiplayer online promise as the in the Command & Conquer line.
The trailer (after the jump) is early and probably doesn’t have finished graphics (at least I hope they’re not done). We […]

The Turok demo is finally available in North America on XBox LIVE. It’s about time too. I’m all over some more playable dinosaur fighting action - but it will be nice to know if standing in a very short line (in about a week, man this demo is late!) for this game will be worth […]

Actually it’s there, in Japan. They always gets the cool toys first … but we can spoil all the surprises by checking out footage like this Super Smash Bros Brawl opening cinematic video:

Get ready to brawl. The best game ever drops March 9th.

I’ll never understand why the media and gaming outsiders are surprised by anything that happens in-game or by the weird game-related incidents that happen out-of-game. Especially as games get better and move toward open world exploration and open-ended invention (like scripting new events and motions in Wow or Second Life) people are going to do […]

GameTap reports that Microsoft has gotten serious about staffing for the next Gears of War game. They’ve hired Kudo Tsunoda into the Xbox team, from his EA job as General Manager over Fight Night, Def Jam Icon, and anything out of EA Games’ Chicago studio.
Kudo is known for enjoying the spotlight (yeah that’s him with […]

Got plans this weekend? Bored? Whether you’ve got anything to do this weekend or not, login to Xbox Live and download your free copy of Undertow. It’s the the holiday outage hug-and-makeup gift from Microsoft and the chance to get it free ends Sunday.

Rockstar Games gave a sneak peak to the elite of the new Grand Theft Auto yesterday and the internet is all abuzz with it’s fancy new bells and whistles. According to this article the new game features faster load times, a souped up physics system, and the ability to get totally freaking drunky pants. […]

Developers at Nintendo and Sora get busy beating the pixels out of each other in the bestest, most unreleased game ever - Super Smash Bros. Brawl:

Looks ready for release to me. If it’s really not ready then maybe those developers could be nice to all of us and get back to fixing the […]

… soon. Sorry to spoil the party. It’s still in beta-testing but we’re so happy to see it that we want an iPhone in our pockets right now.

For a small “donation” the developers will cut you into the beta testing. Maybe enough cash will motivate them to quit their day jobs and work faster than […]

Quick, shoot! It’s a zebra … and a field … ?
Far Cry 2 is months off but Ubisoft is already bragging about their new graphics engine. It really is the most phenomenal-looking, uh, grass I’ve ever seen in a game. The 45-seconds of scenery contains no gameplay though. Keep watching for more trailers […]

There must be more than 20 versions of Street Fighter II by now. If you’re hungry for some classic 2D fighting gameplay and managed to scoop up a Wii in the past year, then the new characters in Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers might be just different enough to make this interesting for […]

The newest Turok trailer is DULL! Gameplay looks smooth, but is a sniper video supposed to keep us interested?
Speaking of not intereting, the graphics don’t measure up to Gears of War either. When Turok launches on Feb 5, 2008 (PS3, Xbox 360, and PC) I’ll still be in line for it. Where else […]

Johnny Chung Lee is a smart, smart guy. He’s also got a heck of an imagination and some crazy homebrew skills. In the video below he shows how he’s hacked his Wii Remote to track hand and finger movements to make the on-screen display react to them. Looks a lot like the Minority Report interface […]

Yahtzee takes a look at PC game The Witcher this week, and his pain is our pleasure. The game is an action RPG with a complex story line and, from the sounds of it, unnecessary adult situations. If you think the phrase “unnecessary adult situations” is an oxymoron, well, maybe this is the game for […]
