[For the second year running, the effusive Matthew ‘Fort90′ Hawkins has helped us out with an insanely detailed, awesome write-up of the Blip Festival, New York’s premiere chiptune mashup insanity music fest. This year, it’s so long that we’re splitting it in twain - here’s the first part, covering Nights 1 and 2. This […]

Call of Duty 4 getting a shot in the arm: New multiplayer patch coming
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | 
Leave a Comment
I love Call of Duty 4, and anybody with it needs to join the [TOID] clan and shoot some mothers with us … or just cry into your headset about how badly we suck. If you’re as addicted to CoD4’s multiplayer as we are, then you’ll be glad to know that a patch for the […]

Linkin Park, Mastadon and The Used coming to Guitar Hero III
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
This is my favorite story because it’s about DLC for a game I don’t play coming from bands I don’t listen to. Nevertheless, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock is getting some new downloadable content for the holidays. Seriously though, what’s a Linkin Park? They’re that band for emos, right?
On the subject of emos, go […]

Virtual prostitution: MMO’s just got an escort service
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Just when online gaming couldn’t get even more sordid, it seems that a virtual gold selling company is now providing the services of online "escorts" to accompany you on your geeksome adventures. Gamepal is promoting these "escorts" as companions that "can do anything you want and everything you ask for." Oh dear.
According to the finer […]

Lock up your daughters: Guitar Hero III update is now live
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Forget all of the other patch nonsense — Neversoft and Activision/Red Octane have issued a free update for Guitar Hero III, which should now be available on Xbox 360 (Worldwide) and the Playstation 3 in North America.
While it would have been hilarious if the update include support for the Rock Band Fender Stratocaster peripherals, that’s […]

Wii Voice Chat Still a Possibility
Category: General | Leave a Comment
SOCOM and then Xbox LIVE went a long way to spoil the current crop of gamers. Back when I was a kid, online multiplayer was reserved for the PC but now just about every game on every console has to have some kind of online functionality. Xbox LIVE has been heralded by many people (including […]

New Street Fighter IV screens: The warm trickle of info continues
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Here are the latest screens of Street Fighter IV, the long awaited sequel to the sequel of possibly the most influential video game of the 1990’s. These screens come courtesy of the French, and unlike the screens previously posted by a certain Brazilian blogger, these probably were not stolen from EGM. How did the Frenchies […]

Whip it, whip it good: New Bionic Commando footage
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Here’s some new footage from Bionic Commando showing the … Bionic Commando picking up giant objects and whipping them into people’s faces. We also see that Bionic Commando is going the route of not having a health system, which I really like. R6: Vegas, Halo 3, Turok and a bunch of other games have been […]

Nintendo could lose $1 billion due to shortage
Category: Nintendo, General, Nintendo Wii, Hardware | Leave a Comment
Have you been able to find a Wii? Yeah, me neither. Then again, I stopped trying back in August, though after Christmas I’m definitely going to be getting back on the hunt for one, as I am dying to play Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles. Even more than Super Mario Galaxy. It’s no secret to […]

The difference between Cruis’n for the Wii and Cruis’n USA for the N64
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
We all know the whole "The Wii is two GameCubes duct taped together" joke. Well, after watching this video, I can’t help but think maybe the Wii is more like a GameCube nailed to a Nintendo 64. Cruis’n USA wasn’t the best racing game ever made, but it was one of the funniest games someone […]
