If, for some bizarre reason, you were looking forward to Prototype’s multiplayer features, then now is the time to retract pre-order plans and shake your fist in the air as if to futilely reprimand God for his sunken glory. The previously planned co-op component of Prototype has been scrapped, leaving it a game for loners […]

TNA and WWE may be two completely separate wrestling entities, but they both happened to reveal the first screens and information about their respective videogames yesterday. THQ told us about WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009, and Midway did the same thing with the TNA game they’re developing, TNA iMPACT!.
Midway sent along a (really short) press […]

There once was a time when exclusives played a big part in console sales, and while times have indeed changed, having the right games on your hardware can still make a difference.

Onimusha movie punished with no word of reprieve
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
There hasn’t been much word about the Onimusha:Warlords film adaption since the middle of last year when Takeshi Kaneshiro was cast in the lead role. I’m not sure why I’m disappointed about this since I’ve rarely seen any good come of a video game adapted to film (although I was excited about Christophe Gane directing,) […]

Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Grand Theft Auto III made great use of popular music, but you had to buy CDs to get the soundtrack for yourself. This time around, Amazon and Rockstar Games have worked out a deal where gamers have easy access any song they hear in Grand Theft Auto IV.
