    No Turok demo for You
    Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

    Xbox 360 gets the free Turok downloadable game demo today. This sequel of the classic series is a big 1.17 GB download (these things are starting to make me wish I bought the bigger drive for my 360). It’s available in Europe. Australia too. And Asia. Not for you though.
    Major Nelson posted the availability. No […]

    First Highlander game trailer
    Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

    I don’t know anything about the Highlander game, but I’m already disappointed.
    Unlike its main characters the game won’t last very long. All the movie fans and immortality fanboys will push this up the top-seller lists for a week or two, followed by a mercifully quick drop off. That’s to be expected when a […]

    This Better Be Good: Super Smash Bros Brawl Delayed Again, Drops March 9
    Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

    Please don’t say it: Super Smash Bros Brawl has been delayed again. This time until March 9th in the US. Maybe I’m more patient than the rest of the fanboys but I’d rather see the game finished, perfected, and shining like gold than to see another steaming heap of Wii-gameage for sale.
    It feels a bit […]

    Trailer for Condemned 2: Bloodshot
    Monday, January 14th, 2008

    Investigator Ethan Thomas, still with the Serial Crimes Unit (SCU), is back and the gameplay has a whole new fighting style. Hand-to-hand fighting in the original Condemned game was a bit disappointing but the new combo system plus visceral sound effects and even more visceral killing methods (like breakig someone’s head on a toilet bowl) […]

    Metal Gear Solid 4: June ‘08 Launch (Basically) Confirmed
    Saturday, January 12th, 2008

    Kojima Productions confirmed today that Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots will be out “in the Q2 launch window.” Next Generation reports a June 17th release date in the US. MGS4 will still, somehow, launch as a PS3 exclusive. Who knows how Konami will recoup the build costs. Hopefully they do or we’ll […]

    Orders for Walmart’s Bargain Super Smash Bros Brawl Canceled
    Friday, January 11th, 2008

    Bummer. All those orders for Super Smash Bros Brawl for just $19.82 were canceled by Walmart. Figures.
    This certainly isn’t the first time a big retailer hasn’t honored its online prices. It won’t be the last. We all know how this works too. Someone is sure to file a class action lawsuit. That probably won’t go […]

    New Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 Trailer
    Friday, January 11th, 2008

    The first Rainbow Six: Vegas brought us kick-ass FPS controls with a great cover system, an awesome twisty storyline, and a chance to run through our favorite Vegas hot spots with guns blazing while flinging grenades and ducking behind slot machines. You know, spring break-type stuff. This trailer for the next installment in the series […]

    Pre-Orders for Super Smash Bros Brawl $30 Off
    Friday, January 11th, 2008

    UPDATE: Price is back to normal. Pulling the link to Walmart.
    Walmart has knocked the pre-order price for Super Smash Bros Brawl down to $19.82. That’s an incredible $30 off the retail price - for a game that’s WAY better than the river of sludge that qualifies as Wii games lately. Get on over there because […]

    Developer Releases Video Diary for Battlefield: Bad Company
    Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

    The Battlefield series is about to get a little explodier, if this video diary from the developers of Battlefield: Bad Company is any testament. The game, which is due out in late March 2008, features an innovation that most FPS lovers will find exciting: fully destructible environments.
    To use the lingo, the “sandbox” element of […]

    Video: Tomb Raider Underworld
    Monday, January 7th, 2008

    Someone put together a montage of screenshots from the upcoming Tomb Raider Underworld, which is scheduled to be released sometime in 2008 for the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3. It looks like Tomb Raider, what can I say?
    Watch the video after the jump.

    New Boxing Sim the Focus of Latest Don King Hyperbole
    Monday, December 10th, 2007

    2K Sports announced it is developing Don King Presents: Prizefighter, a boxing sim for the Xbox 360, Wii, and DS. GamePro quotes King as saying, “In all my years working in professional boxing, I have never seen anything come as close to re-creating the thrill, the intensity, the courage and the spectacle of the sport.” […]
