Three more Rock Band song downloads available this week. One song each from Weezer, Stone Temple Pilots, and Garbage. All are about $2 and available for XBox 360 on Tuesday or PS3 on Thursday.
All three songs are included in the hidden list found by laconic this week that everyone thinks is Harmonix’s future-song-list. The full […]

Between January 31st and today Super Smash Bros Brawl has sold 1.08 million copies in Japan. That’s the fastest-selling Wii game ever in Japan. Over 5 weeks faster than Wii Fit, sold separately from the console there, made it to the platinum sales mark.
We can hardly wait until March 9th, and it doesn’t seem like […]

Three new downloadable songs for Rock Band this week. This week is old school punk week, with all three bands contributing to the earliest sound of punk. All are the real things too, no covers this week.

The Clash’s “Complete Control“
The Police’s “Truth Hits Everybody“
The Ramones’ “Teenage Lobotomy“

If you’re a punk fan there’s also a 3-pack […]

The Australian copies of Medal of Honor Heroes 2 for Wii were missing support for 32-player battles as noted on the box, the game’s site, advertisements, etc. Now EA has finally admitted their mistake and removed any mention of multiplayer from their website. Via IGN, they’ve also announced refunds to anyone who purchased the game […]

Only one PC game in 2007 sold over a million units (and it’s name is Warcraft). The PC game take of $911 million is a lot of money, but console games had a record year and total sales of $17.94 billion. Another comparison, the #10 console game sold twice as many units as the #2 […]

The guys over at College Humor TV aren’t very good at Guitar Hero (it’s OK guys, neither am I). To make up for their poor playing they’re going to be mopping up the mess and leftovers from the Guitar Hero rockstars. Check out the Roadie Hero trailer above.

The only part of Super Smash Bros Brawl not in the dozens of game trailers that have hit North America is the incredible Final Smash attacks. Now that the game has been released in Japan (and handily sold 500,000 copies despite Nintendo’s distribution problems) the Final Smashes are all over the internet. They’re a bit […]

The internet stinks sometimes, but this isn’t a spam-blog or an ugly made by a friend-of-a-friend site. What They Play is a professional site built for parents, and it’s about video games.
The site reviews video games for all systems (Wii, PS3, Xbox 360, PC, & older consoles) and gives each a rating. None of these […]

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, […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Queue yet another PR disaster buy-off from a big corporation, to the tune of $10 per cheated customer. Walmart priced preorders for Super Smash Bros Brawl at $19.82 last week. Not long after the pricing error was all over the internet and Walmart canceled all the low-priced orders.
Today Walmart announced a $10 gift card is […]
