Bravo Valve, You Kings of Obscurity

Bravo Valve, You Kings of Obscurity

If you haven’t heard, it’s very possible that Valve has released a whole slew of potential Portal 2 artwork and have earned the title of “Kings of Obscurity” by including it all in an update for Portal that features hidden messages in audio format that have to be fed through a hash translator and ancient […]

APOCALYPS3 is…Over?

APOCALYPS3 is…Over?

According to Sony, the problem has come and gone…and it didn’t even need a patch? Can any of you guys out there with PS3 FAT models confirm this? The only thing that I can think of is that the PS3 had the wrong year set for a leap-year and once the clock struck midnight this […]

Bungie, Quit Teasing Us!

Bungie, Quit Teasing Us!

I always keep an eye open for any Halo news that might crop up and when I was reading the developers’ blog that’s linked from Bungie.com earlier today, I happened to notice that there was a note from Marcus Lehto yesterday saying that the company is planning on dropping a multiplayer ‘bombshell’ on us today.

Morning Cup o’ Music

I dare you to NOT get up off your duff and start shaking your ass to today’s track. I liked hearing the Vengaboys yesterday so guess what, you get yet another track from the group. This one is off of the same album, but should be even more recognizable due to it being used in […]

In the screenshots you can catch Kara beating the hell out of a multitude of the rogue gallery of the DCU. The game has been in development hell for ages […]

Transformers: War for Cybertron – Trailer

Transformers: War for Cybertron – Trailer

The Michael Bay Transformers movies may not be the best movies ever made, I mean, the dialogue is atrocious, but there was one thing that he does really well…and that’s blow shit up. Transformers: War for Cybertron is going to be taking place in the ‘Bay-iverse’, taking place before the events of the first movie […]

Morning Cup o’ Music

I figure that there’s nothing better than hearing some shitty vocal techno on a Monday following a weekend of binge drinking and bad eating. Right as this is going up this morning, I’m just now arriving at work feeling like hell because of how early it is. One thing that is assured to make me […]

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine – New Screens

The trailer for the game might not be new, but we have the two new screens from THQ’s latest take on the Warhammer 40,000 universe, Space Marine. I have to say, that I still get chills from watching that trailer…these are the kinds of games I used to imagine playing back when I was still […]

Ever Wonder Why Games Cost $60?

Ever Wonder Why Games Cost $60?

Well the LA Times did and they worked with the guys at OnLive to put together the pie chart you see above. Pretty interesting and handy for all of you people who might be thinking about getting into the game industry. All I can see is an argument for digital distribution to be widely available […]

Morning Cup o’ Music

I think that if there was a band that every high-school kid should be forced to listen to, it should be the Ben Folds Five. The music that Ben Folds wrote encapsulates the entire teenage angst years that we’ve all gone through while making the listener feel that everything will be ok. Today’s track is […]

Sonic 4 Screenshots

Sonic 4 Screenshots

They’ve been floating around the internet for a day or two, but we’ve finally got our hands on them. It’s definitely a 2-D sonic that is going to be a throwback to the ‘good’ Sonic games of the past. I’m just surprised I’m making this post instead of good ol’ Gibbo, because we all know […]

Red Dead Redemption – Mmmm, Whores

Red Dead Redemption – Mmmm, Whores

Rockstar has seriously piqued our interest in this game today by releasing this video of the ‘ladies’ of Red Dead Redemption…I won’t lie, I count only one ‘real’ whore in the game, and she packs a six-shooter…the rest, well you’ll just have to see for yourselves won’t you?
