Megan Fox Rumored to be Lara Croft?

Megan Fox Rumored to be Lara Croft?

Well at least that’s what the internet’s been clammoring about all morning…that and the fact that Angelina Jolie is super-pissed about it. I don’t know about most of the audience here, but I didn’t enjoy either one of the Tomb Raider movies. The only thing I liked about them is Mrs. Jolie, and they’re planning […]

Crackdown 2 Means Pacific City 2.0

Ok, so the game is still a relative unknown to the collective here on the internet…you know what I’m referring to (the internet having a hive mind kind of thing, we are the Borg, yadda yadda). Anyways, Gibbo did an article a little while back extolling the virtues of Crackdown and since he and I […]

John Romero, You’re Not Relevant Anymore

John Romero, You’re Not Relevant Anymore

Mr. John “ex-id Software, ex-Ion Storm” Romero has flipped a complete 180 in his opinion about ZeniMax buying id Software. I won’t crucify the man too much…I mean he was co-founder of id, and one of the guys we all have to thank for the FPS genre. I read his twitter this morning, but I’ll […]

New Gran Turismo Screens (Thanks IGN!)

New Gran Turismo Screens (Thanks IGN!)

The title says it all, enjoy seeing the pics without all the stupid ads. I personally think that this game looks great, but it really does make me wonder what the hell has taken Polyphony Digital this long…I remember them teasing GTPSP months before the system even came out…this was YEARS ago. I just might […]

Metroid Prime Trilogy = Hotness

Metroid Prime Trilogy = Hotness

Honestly, I had no excitement for the Metroid Prime games being re-released on the Wii because I thought that they’d simply just be released with some waggle added. Don’t get me wrong, it’ll be nice to have the same controls we were given in Metroid Prime 3, but what really just sold me is that […]

Mid-day Ska Song of the Day!

Another amazing track by Gwen Stefani and the crew of No Doubt. I really do miss these guys as a group, good thing I’ve heard that there’s a rumored reunion tour being planned. I’d love to see these guys again. “Spiderwebs” was the opening track for their album Tragic Kingdom which arguably was one of […]

ZeniMax Buys id Software

ZeniMax Buys id Software

We don’t normally pump up press releases, but today, ZeniMax, the same guys who own Bethesda (Fallout 3, Obilivion) will now own id Software (the makers of Doom, Quake, and Wolfenstein). id Software will continue to operate as a studio under the direction of its founder, John Carmack. No changes will be made in the […]

MWN Discusses: Pre-Order Rewards?

MWN Discusses: Pre-Order Rewards?

As I flip through the stacks of email we get every morning, I’ve noticed a disturbing (to me) trend. It seems that about 20% of the new games coming out there is a special something-or-other that you can ONLY have if you pre-order your game from Gamestop or any other specific store. So I got […]

What’s In a Name?

What’s In a Name?

Apparently 50% of your brand’s awareness. According to an article at Gamasutra and the tracking firm OTX, without the Call of Duty bit at the beginning of the upcoming Infinity Ward and Activision game Modern Warfare 2, the game’s awareness dropped from 40% of US gamers knowing about it to only 20%… Let me put […]

Oh Noes, 2 New Tingle Games?

Oh Noes, 2 New Tingle Games?

Why Crom? Whyyyyyyyy? Oh shit, everyone’s least favorite character from the Zelda universe has just been confirmed by Nintendo to be getting TWO brand new games. After the success of Tingle’s two other games in Japan (Freshly-Picked Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland and Tingle’s Balloon Fight DS). The first one is a sequel to FPTRR and is […]

Monkey Island for Xbox 360? Quick! Don’t Tell Ryan

Monkey Island for Xbox 360? Quick! Don’t Tell Ryan

Much to the chagrin of our PC/PS3 loving editor Ryan Wilson, it looks like the newest addition to the Monkey Island franchise might just make an appearance in the Xbox Live Marketplace. According to Dave Grossman (the man who makes these decisions at Telltale Games), omission does not exactly mean that they won’t do it…he […]

New Max Payne 3 Screenshots

New Max Payne 3 Screenshots

I stole found some great new screen grabs from VG247 that show off the completely redesigned look that Rockstar is going for in Max Payne 3. I only hope that they keep some of the elements that made the first 2 really memorable, especially the graphic novel cutscenes. I wonder what they’re going to do […]

Morning Cup o’ Metal

Ah Limp Bizkit, you used to be such an awesome group. Wes was a great guitar player, Sam kept good rhythm, and Fred…well Fred became something of a celebrity, for no good reason. However, there is no denying that the group’s first album Three Dollar Bill Y’all doesn’t have some amazing music. Perhaps the most […]

Mid-day Ska Song of the Day!

Eh, some days you’re in the mood for some obscure music, then there’s other days where you won’t listen to anything that isn’t mainstream…today is one of the latter. For your listening pleasure today is The Mighty Mighty Bosstone’s radio hit “So Sad to Say” off of their album Pay Attention.
