GT5 vs Real-Life

Well, I’ve been sold on this game since they first announced that it’d be coming out, but here we are, nearly 5 years into the PS3 lifecycle and we’ve still not received our Gran Turismo. Holy hell, the PSP has only recently gotten their version and that’s been out much longer than the PS3.

New Guilty Gear Game? Fuck YES!

New Guilty Gear Game? Fuck YES!

The God of fighting game systems, Daisuke Ishiwatari, announced today that all of us Guilty Gear fans will finally have our own version of the series on the PS3/Xbox 360. Yup, that’s right…instead of playing BlazBlue for the 8,000,000th time, you’ll now be able to have a chance to take your favorite characters from Arc […]

You Should Be Playing…

You Should Be Playing…

Brütal Legend and Need for Speed: Shift. Both games have their demos out today. While I’m more interested in seeing what NfS:S can do, I know that many of the MWN guys have chubs for Brütal Legend and have that on their ‘must have’ list for 2009.

Bayonetta Demo Next Week

Bayonetta Demo Next Week

Exactly one week from today, you’ll be able to get your hands on Sega’s newest ass-kicking game Bayonetta. I had a chance to play this at PAX this year and I have to say, it’s looking pretty damn cool and plays really well. The demo will be on both the PS3 and the 360, but […]

TGS 2009: Final Fantasy XIII Trailer

Well it looks like Square Enix is trying their hardest to make sure that the fans of Final Fantasy all the world over are happy, at least the ones that can read English that is. I saw the Japanese only one earlier this week and could understand a little about what was happening (3 years […]

Metal Gear Remake…Maybe?

Metal Gear Remake…Maybe?

Kojima had an interview with Kotaku recently about many things, but the one thing that many of us gaming whores are picking up on is the statement he had about doing a remake of the original Metal Gear, which appeared on the MSX2 waaay back in 1987 when I was a mere lad of seven.

PS3 Mass Effect on the Way?

PS3 Mass Effect on the Way?

All signs are pointing to ‘not right now’ on a PS3 version of Mass Effect. The guys over at CVG had a recent interview with the same fella who went on and on about Dragon Age: Origins yesterday and he pretty much gave us the industry standard double-talk treatment.

Avatar – Game Trailer

Continuing the love fest that I have for this movie, THQ released the trailer above at GamesCom this week in Germany. It doesn’t really give anything new from the movie, but at least it doesn’t appear as if it’s Ferngully the Game. I don’t care what people say, the movie’s gonna rock, but the game…might […]

GC 2009: Dante’s Inferno Trailer

Thanks to the fellas at Joystiq attending GamesCom in Germany, we’re lucky enough to have a new trailer from EA’s event earlier today. I really had no intention of liking this game until I read a whole bunch of the games level design and synopsis over on Wikipedia, now, I’m actually looking forward to this […]
