No Black Wii For You

No Black Wii For You

Nintendo doesn’t love you America. They never give us the same treatment that they do with their own countrymen. The exclusive to Japan Black Wii comes out over there on August 1st. The same day, I bet you’ll see an online petition with thousands of grubby hands beating down on their keyboards hoping to secure […]

MWN Discusses: The Recent Delays

MWN Discusses: The Recent Delays

Take-Two Interactive announced the other day that Bioshock 2 (among three of its peers) won’t be hitting until 2010. Already it’s hitting the company’s stock pretty hard. I think they’re poised to earn a ton of it back when they finally start cashing checks in the months following the glut of games that will drop […]

GTA V Next Year, Someone Lock Up Jack Thompson Before He Hears

GTA V Next Year, Someone Lock Up Jack Thompson Before He Hears

It seems the proverbial cat has been let out of the proverbial bag when it comes to the fate of the Grand Theft Auto series. We know now that they’ve been developing the sequel to GTA IV for a year now thanks to the mad ramblings of everyone’s favorite analyist, Michael Pachter. “Management declined to […]

Dyack isn’t Relevant Anymore

Dyack isn’t Relevant Anymore

After spending an inordinate amount of time making Too Human only to have it be regarded as a work of mediocrity by a good portion of the gaming community (Metacritic puts it at 65), Denis Dyack spoke today during the Develop Conference (in England) about how the future of the gaming market is inevitably headed […]

Glowing Wii This Morning? Don’t Freak Out!

Glowing Wii This Morning? Don’t Freak Out!

It’s just Nintendo gently reminding you that there’s a new firmware upgrade just waiting for you to install. I did get pretty freaked out this morning myself because usually when I get up for work it’s completely dark on my house’s first floor…seeing a pulsating blue light coming from the living room almost made me […]

First Look at The Four Warriors of Light

I heard this morning that there was a video for the new Final Fantasy being made for the DS titled strangely enough as The Four Warriors of Light: A Final Fantasy Anecdote so I went to the youtubes, and found this amazing video that shows the game in action. I love how the battle system […]

Holy Shit, Portal on iPhone

I don’t know if its for real or not, but regardless of whether it’s the real deal from Steam or just some guys making a version that can run on the iPhone, I want it.

Morning Cup o’ Metal

Welcome back to Morning Cup o’ Metal, today’s foray into the metal scene is a bit off the track. Yeah, the Atari Teenage Riot teamed up with Slayer on Spawn – The Album to bring you “No Remorse (I Wanna Die). It might seem that this is merely a jungle track with some heavy guitar […]

PSP to Copy iPhone

PSP to Copy iPhone

Yup, the bastards at Sony who are just as bad as Microsoft in their “Hey me too” method of doing business have decided that they want to copy Apple’s App Store business model and open their own App Store. During the Develop Conference in Brighton this week, SCEE’s head of developer relations Zeno Colaço that: […]

GT5 Has Car Damage, PSP Won’t

GT5 Has Car Damage, PSP Won’t

It’s about damn time that you can mess your cars up in Gran Turismo 5 when it comes out (who the hell knows when that’ll be). While it’s nice to know that ramming into a wall at top speed will finally do more than just stop you dead in your tracks, I can only hope […]

Cheech and Tron-g?

Video: Cheech and Chong Cinemash “Tron” Bad pun I know, but in this video, the duo discusses the threat of dimebags going up in price from $20, only to duel it out on lightcycles. I laughed my ass off watching this video today. Thought you’d all enjoy it as well.

More Release Date Bumping: Wolfenstein

Yup, the game has been pushed back a further 14 days back from its initial release date of Aug 4. The game will now come out on the 18th in a effort to allow a simultaneous worldwide release. Yeah, it’s not quite as bad as the other recent pushbacks. I can guarantee that there are […]

Shadow Complex is Super Metroid on Steroids

Wow, there’s alot to love here. Not only does the gameplay remind me of the ‘Metroidvania’ that I’ve grown to love since it’s inception with the original Metroid, but it has some serious Contra elements thrown in the mix. Chair Entertainment is going to be a household name for gamers once this game drops on […]

Morning Cup o’ Metal

It’s been a little while since I’ve put up a MCoM so I figure its time to get off my ass and bring it back, sorry about missing last week my loyal fans. I return today with one of my iPod’s most played tracks. I’ve posted Between the Buried and Me before, but that was […]
