Files under News | Leave a Comment

Early hype has been that Guitar Hero 4 would “revolutionize” music games with an incredible new feature.  Are they going to add a keyboard?  How about a kazoo?  No, sadly not.  Instead, the revolutionary new feature is “create a song.”

Well, after much hype and hope, we finally have our first look at Banjo Threeie, the third in the Banjo Kazooie series.  How does it look so far?  Well, actually, it looks a lot like Diddy Kong Racing 2 so far.  Actually, a whole lot like it.

Killzone 2 finally getting it right

Files under News, PS3 | Leave a Comment

Killzone 2 has certainly wowed gamers before.  From the original “target” trailer to the later “actual” trailer, the game has provided plenty of eye candy.  Of course, it has also provided plenty of controversy thanks to that “target” demo.  However, it appears Killzone 2’s critics may finally have to eat their crow.

First look at Gears of War 2 gameplay

Files under News, Xbox 360 | Leave a Comment

The original Gears of War is mostly a take it or leave it kind of game.  With all the hype surrounding it, many were turned off by its less-than-revolutionary gameplay.  Still, those people were obviously in the minority as the game sold a ton and helped cement the Xbox 360’s position ahead of the PS3 for a while to come (no such luck with the Wii).

Motorstorm: Pacific Rift is looking good at an early stage

Files under News, PS3 | Leave a Comment

The original Motorstorm was an oddly controversial title.  Odd because who ever considers racing games controversial?  Still, Sony managed to make it just that by over hyping and delivering a disappointing demo that wasn’t quite up to the finished product.

30 Rock reveals title of porn video game

Files under News | Leave a Comment

The powers that be over at 30 Rock (namely Tina Fey) have finally revealed the title for their “world’s first” porn video game.  The title?  Gorgasim: The Legend of Dong Slayer.  Yes, it has a that certain catchy vibe that just never lets you forget it once you’ve heard it–no matter how hard you try.

Parkour meets Halo in Mirror’s Edge

Files under News | Leave a Comment

Think of Mirror’s Edge as the video game version of the chase scenes from the recent remake of Casino Royale.  Or, you know, the chase scenes from the Bourne films…if there already weren’t a game.  Whatever you think of it, just realize it’s one of the most interesting looking games to come along in a while.  The developers seem fairly self-assured that they’ve finally conquered the problem of jumping in a first-person title.  Regardless, they do know how to cut an exciting trailer that mixes some Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time with the previously mentioned films.

New this week on Wii Virtual Console

Files under News, Wii | Leave a Comment

No, this is not the Double Dragon game you are looking for.  Yes, it is the one you remember as a kid on the NES and not the arcade version you wished it was at the time.  More disappointing, however, is that it’s not the vastly superior Double Dragon II.  Oh well, perhaps another day.  Still, the original is a decent game, but with so many better brawlers out there, such as Double Dragon II and Final Fight, its fond memories are best left in the past.

Obama and Clinton finally settle things inside the wrestling ring

Files under News | Leave a Comment

After one of the longest primary seasons in recent memory, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton appear to have finally decided to settle things within the wrestling ring.  That’s great and all, but real questions still persist.  Does Hillary smell what Barack is cooking?  Is Barack, as Hillary notes, truly a heel?  Will there ever be a good wrestling game again?  So many questions left unanswered.
