Leave a Comment
Just like the game, this horse’s back legs in Assassin’s Creed are broken. Thanks, Grim.
Time to C-C-C-COMBO Break the lameness of the weekend with some Destructainment. Right after the jump, the end song to Portal is performed live. Then another glitch video on Super Mario Bros. 3. After that, a creepy ad for Doom on […]

The extremely otaku-friendly Akihabara Channel blog has an interesting post discussing the latest issue of Enterbrain’s Arcadia magazine, the only consumer arcade game magazine in the world - and a testament to the niches that can exist in the Japanese market.
As is mentioned, the magazine “…had a scoop on a new expansion to the […]

New Soul Calibur: Legends trailer: Lloyd sold me cigarettes this morning
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Aerox continues his streak as my favorite tipper for today by sending in a link to the above trailer. I’ve been following the progress of Soul Calibur: Legends for a while now, mostly as I think it’s an interesting experiment in what Namco can do other than 3D fighters, but the more I see, the […]

Game Center CX: the coolest game I hadn’t heard about until yesterday
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Ever since it was revealed to me (yesterday), Game Center CX: Arino’s Challenge has become my own personal video game equivalent of the Mo-dettes: absolutely no one’s heard of it, it’s amazing and bringing it up in casual conversation will either make you look like a pretentious douche or the coolest person since Steve McQueen.
Since […]

We don’t go to Ravenholm, but we can make it come to us
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
A great little weekend story, this. A man who recently held a Half-Life 2-inspired Halloween party is giving away his setpieces, which were based on the classic Ravenholm chapter of Valve’s masterwork. As you can see, sawblades, a headcrab rocket and some superb looking ammo crates could be yours. Now all you need are the […]

Philadelphia hates Hitman: Poster pulled for daring to have a gun on it
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Considering Philadelphia is filled with violence and some of the worst kind of professional wrestling fans, it amuses me to think they’re so upset over a poster that has a gun on it. Under the guise of bemoaning the shooting of cop Chuck Cassidy, this hilarious report from the Philadelphia Daily News celebrates the removal […]

There’s the old saying that goes something down the lines of good things come to those who wait, but Richard Garriott and NCsoft seem to have a better idea in mind. Well aware that there’s not exactly a shortage of great games on the market for us to enjoy right now, they’ve decided to share […]

EA loses nearly $200 million, begins ushering women and children to lifeboats
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Earlier today (yesterday?) reader-cum-tipper Aerox sent us a link to this Associated Press piece discussing EA’s second quarter earnings. Or, more specifically, EA’s second quarter losses. It seems that the gaming behemoth lost $195 million dollars during the quarter due to "how it accounts for sales of online-enabled games, now recognizing the sales on a […]

[âMight Have Beenâ is a sorta bi-weekly column by Todd Ciolek that explores the ways in which promising games, characters, and concepts failed. This edition looks at Irem’s Gun Force 2, released for the arcade in 1994.]
Metal Slug shouldnât have succeeded, considering how games were in the mid-â90s. Amid all the 3-D polygon revolutions and […]

Have no fear, firmware update 2.01 will soon be here
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
While not exactly brimming with details when they shot one over our bow concerning what we can actually expect from their soon to be released firmware update, Sony was kind enough to give us fair warning. In yesterday’s entry of the PlayStation blog, Eric Lempel (Director of PlayStation Network Operations) gave us the virtual "head’s […]
