9 – Trailer

I’ll be the first to admit, anyone that uses Coheed & Cambria in their trailer has an automatic ticket purchase from me. Not only that but look at the friggin’ cast for this movie! Jesus, Christopher Plummer and Martin Landau…I swear the last movie he was in was the first X-Files movie. You’ve also got […]

Batman: Arkham Asylum ‘Gadgets’ Trailer

We all know that Batman is a world-class detective and a rich kid with parent issues, but we also know that a good part of what makes Batman so awesome are all of the amazing gadgets that he has at his disposal. This trailer just ratcheted up my desire for this game to come out […]

Dream Build Play Challenger – Inferus

I just stumbled upon this video for one of the games that has been entered into the Dream Build Play Challenge that looks amazing like a cross between Strider and Castlevania in gameplay. It does my heart good to see that people are still trying to keep 2D gaming alive.

F*cking Win

F*cking Win

Either the lead designer for Raven Software doesn’t have faith in how well his game will sell, or he’s clever like a fox and knows that the juggernaut that is Madden can’t be beat. I guess it really doesn’t matter…but I think I’ll take him up on this offer, I’d love to get a free […]

Army of Two: Pushed to 2010

Ok, this shit’s getting really really old. Originally slated for this summer, Army of Two: The 40th Day has now been given a death sentence, literally. The game will be coming out first in the UK on the 8th of January, followed 4 days later in the United States when it’s released on the 12th.

Morning Cup o’ Metal

You can’t see me right now, but if you could, I’m throwing the horns up and rocking the fuck out…at 6 AM…when I haven’t had my coffee yet. Edguy is fucking amazing as a power metal group, this track you’re listening to right now ‘Mysteria’ could probably be the definition for power metal if there […]

PS3 Hardware Mysteriously Hard To Get

PS3 Hardware Mysteriously Hard To Get

Hmmm, methinks the slim is closer than we all expected. It’s being reported all over the internet that many retailers are experiencing trouble sourcing new stock of PS3s…and this is all happening when sales of the hardware are currently lulling.

EA Trademarks new Wing Commander

EA Trademarks new Wing Commander

Coming from a guy who was a serious PC gamer in the late 80s to the mid-90s, I have a real soft spot in my heart for anything Wing Commander related…yes even the horrible Matthew Lillard movie with gerbil themed Kilrathi.

Morning Cup o’ Metal

Iced Earth has got to have one of the best vocalists to ever grace the stage. Pay attention to the lyrics of this song because they actually have something to do with what’s depicted on the video…yup, IE is another one of those power metal bands that like to actually tell stories with their lyrics.

ESRB adds Ratings for 3 Capcom Classics

ESRB adds Ratings for 3 Capcom Classics

Looking at the ESRB today, I noticed that there’s a few re-release games coming up that I think would warrant a purchase on PSN. Yup, three excellent survival horror classics are coming back to life on the system that bore them originally. Good work there Capcom.

One Step Closer to a Wii Sex Simulator

One Step Closer to a Wii Sex Simulator

Ok, I should at least be somewhat vindicated by now that the Wii is just a peripheral selling hunk of junk, that I, like so many other people bought into. I regret it…even more so than my PS3, at least the PS3 can play current gen games and lets me watch the Blu-Rays. This the […]

No PS3/Wii Netflix, and Why

No PS3/Wii Netflix, and Why

We have a reason now as to why we can’t ever have PS3 or Wii Netflix support (for the near future at least). It seems that in the system notes for the new update that’s out today, it says the following: Netflix Partnership This exclusive partnership offers you the ability to instantly stream movies and […]

Xbox 360 Fall Update

Yup, it finally dropped this moring starting with the US and working it’s way across the globe. The update is live for all of us in the US, though the rest of the world might see a delay in updates…there really are a lot of countries that have Xbox 360s.

Crazy Girlfriends

Boy, I just watched this entire video and I’m glad as shit that I’m not in the dating world. This guy’s girlfriend goes from loving and happy to batshit insane over the course of the 2 weeks that he’s visiting Europe. Married guys, watch and be glad that you’re not in the dating game anymore.

Morning Cup o’ Metal

Manowar, how the fuck have I gone my entire adult life never hearing a single song from you guys…all it took was hearing “Sons of Odin” to get me hooked. This is probably one of the best if not longest tracks off of the album Gods of War and is perhaps one of the finest […]
