Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
It’s already been confirmed that the next iteration of the Mortal Kombat series would be powered by the Unreal Engine. One can assume Midway’s upcoming fighter would makes its way to at least the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, but Mortal Kombat has rarely blessed the PC marketplace.

Poke around on the Internet, and you’ll see a lot of videogaming Web sites throwing a negative spin on E for All’s inaugural year. A few bloggers and journalists snapped a few photos of what appeared to be an empty Los Angeles convention center and declared E for All a dud. They said things like […]

Destructoid’s games of the week for 10/21/2007: Zombie Apocalypse edition!
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
If you’ve learned anything about me during my last year here at the ‘Toid, it’s that I constantly fantasize about the inevitable zombie apocalypse. Between my root cellar stocked with canned foods and deadly projectile weapons to my three-story personal library full of reference material — cue Max Brooks namedropping — on the subject, I’d […]

Originally the vest was designed for medical uses, but this tweaked version is specifically for gaming. The vest will cost $189 […]

Hands-on with Dynasty Warriors 6: Was fighting through cosplayers worth it?
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
As promised, I attended the London Expo today with one thing on my mind — Koei. My head full of giddy delights (and a lingering flu virus), I hopped onto the Docklands Light Railway and shook my head as I realized that I’d boarded a train containing cosplayers. Yes, I was headed to a geek […]

Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
According to Video Game Chartz, the Internet’s self-proclaimed "Most comprehensive videogame charts in the world," the Xbox 360 version of Valve’s The Orange Box has outsold Halo 3 … last week. By the numbers (or would it be "numberz"?), The Orange Box moved 348,049 units, while Halo 3 was only pushing a paltry 285,860.

Looney Tunes: Duck Amuck … comedic-gem on the Nintendo DS
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
How in the world did I miss hearing about this game? Looney Tunes: Duck Amuck hit store shelves September 19, 2007, with little or no love from the gaming community, and I’m sitting here wondering how we let this happen? We’re despicable.
Based on the original Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon, "Duck Amuck," players get to […]
