Weekend Destructainment: More like: Weekend Halotainment!
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | 
Leave a Comment
So wow, I didn’t really plan on this happening. I shouldn’t be surprised that this turned into an all out Halo edition of Weekend Destructainment I suppose. And hey, it’s a themed edition too! Haven’t done that since the Street Fighter edition when I was having my little war with God Len.
Anyway, the above video […]

So, it’s time to run down some of the interesting original content we posted on big sister site Gamasutra (and elsewhere on the CMP Game Group) this week. There’s actually some neat stuff in here, I might claim, including that dastardly Dyack, producers weighing in on game violence, and Curt Schilling’s MMO company explored […]

Last Call for Call of Duty 4 Beta - Put Down Halo 3 For Just a Second
Category: Xbox 360, Announcements | Leave a Comment
Great news! Yesterday at 10am (PST) the Call of Duty Beta raised the cap for levels to a rank of 25.
So if you aren’t leveling up and taking on challenges, now is the pretty obvious time to get on it to get the extra weapons and crap (crap includes some cool perks and an […]

Nintendo fires hapless blogger who got caught complaining
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Some people haven’t really learned from the mistakes of others. If you value your job, be very careful where you choose to complain about it, because watchful eyes can be everywhere. Nowhere is this more true than the Internet, where the views of millions are publicly shared with even greater numbers. If you work for […]

Haze will have rumble on the PS3. Yeah, that’s it
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
This latest video for Haze shows you no gameplay or cinematic at all. All it shows is a PS3 controller vibrating. In fact, I’m not even sure why I’m bothering posting this video aside from the fact that it’s the weekend and the news tends to die during these two days. I guess the team […]

Like Walter Raleigh or Ferdinand Magellan before me, I awoke today at the crack of noon to brave the wilds of my local Toys R Us store in search, not of wealth or some lame fountain of youth, but instead of an ultra rare digital creature: the Pokémon Manaphy.
Hit the jump for my harrowing tale, […]

Final Fantasy XI trailer tries to seduce me, nearly succeeds
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
World of Warcraft can blow me. Yes, I said it, and I’m not sorry. No amount of friends in that game can convince me that it’s fun to play. Give me the characters and surroundings of any Final Fantasy XI expansion and I’ll pick those over WoW for meandering about in any day of the […]

GoNintendo found images of what appears to be a Chinese knockoff of Nintendo’s Wii, brilliantly name the "Vii". It looks like the creators of this system put the absolute minimum amount of work into the Vii, obviously copying the Wii’s design and control (I’ve got to play one of these). Hell, they didn’t even put […]

So, you may perhaps have seen the news that “Much-maligned filmmaker Uwe Boll (”Alone in the Dark,” “Bloodrayne”) is planning yet another video game adaptation - ‘Zombie Massacre’” - and yep, we also got a press release about the momentous event.
As Dark Horizons notes: “1988 Games is bringing the shooter game exclusively to the […]

Bethesda spits on your fancy cityboy talk in Fallout 3
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
I really, truly, honestly meant to post this many weeks ago, so forgive me, but I’ve searched the archives and found no mention of it. Aeropause reports (with a consternation that I share) that Fallout 3 might be too much shooty, not enough talky. From an interview with the devs over on 1up:
1UP: You’ve mentioned […]
