Dubbed a "comedy/adventure game," Rat Race will be available as episodic content on PlayStation Network starting this winter. Set in the offices of the dysfunctional BiggCo, the game is […]

I’m not this drooling Tenacious D/Jack Black fan, and I’m not exactly sure what the connection between him and Tim Schafer’s Double Fine is, but I’ll tell you what: This trailer for the upcoming Brutal Legend is … man. Wow. I’m speechless.
If you can do in the game 4% of what you see in this […]

A few days ago we told you about the addition of new musical content (BioShock, Halo 3, and more) to the E for All session of the Video Games Live concert which will take place on October 19th at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. At that time, we mentioned that a few secret guests […]

Team Fortress 2 Patch on the Way
Category: Xbox 360, News | Leave a Comment
Having played exactly one match of Team Fortress 2 before jumping right back into Portal, I can’t say I have personally experienced this lag that I keep reading about online in various places. The people I do keep reading having the lag issues do seem to state that it of course depends on who […]

This Friday, October 19 from 3-7 PM PDT, Xbox Live Gold subscribers will have the opportunity to go […]

Fire Pro Wrestling hits PS2 next month for only $14.99, AJ Styles’ head explodes
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
TNA superstar AJ Styles told me he was a big fan of the Fire Pro wrestling series, and for good reason. The game’s out-of-control character customization is unmatched in any videogame to date. It also doesn’t hurt that Styles (or a likeness of) has appeared in the series.
So I’m picturing his face as he reads […]

Do want: The Art of Midway: Before Pixels and Polygons art book released
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
I live for these art books, so imagine my surprise when Midway shuffled a press release my way about The Art of Midway: Before Pixels and Polygons.
Published by Design Studio Press, the 160 page book features over 200 concept and environment illustrations from Midway titles like Psi-Ops, Mortal Kombat, The Suffering, and Stranglehold. While it’s […]

Though just a tad on the imprecise side, I really enjoyed reading Jess Ragan’s recent 1UP feature, ‘Filling A Niche: Swimming Against The Current Of The Mainstream’, an in-depth article that tried to explain how targeting specific submarkets and pockets of gaming is a good idea in today’s increasingly fragmented society.
Skipping over some of […]

Donkey Kong Barrel Blast is the latest racer for the Wii. If you’re unfamiliar with the backstory, we’ve been promised the game for quite some time – it was actually supposed to be a GameCube title, using the accompanying bongo peripherals. Instead, it’s been being reworked and picked at all this time, and now it’s […]

Stranglehold? PAH. Don’t talk to me about Stranglehold. Midway’s Woo-centric third-person shooter may have had gorgeous graphics and the Massive Destructoid engine, but I’ll tell you what it didn’t have: heart.*
Total Overdose, the 2005 third-person shooter from Deadline Games, basically covers all the same ground as Stranglehold (large scale, over-the-top gunfights), along with adding some […]
