Death Tank coming to XBLA? New pants… STAT!
That my friends is the what the title screen for awesome looks like. Now, this isn’t like concrete or anything, but it would seem that the USK Rating Board has posted a rating for a game called “Death Tank” for XBox Live Arcade…
Could it be?!? Could the lost treasure of the late 90s be returning [...]
Blizzard Execs Wear Money Hats
I saw this story and just had to share it. In a recent interview with Develop Magazine, Gabe Newell was asked the age-old question “Is PC gaming dead?”. His response is what you’d expect; no, but it is changing. And he’s right, it’s not dead. PC gaming is smaller, but title quality is way up, [...]
Mega Man 9 - Multi-platform Retro
Oh, you beautfiul thing you. In case you’ve been living under a rock, Capcom recently cracked the gaming world in half with their announcement of Mega Man 9. A modern game that is being developed with the same tools and techniques that made it a classic during the 1980s? It’s like Capcom is writing videogame [...]
AMD’s Cinema 2.0… Wow. Seriously.
Sweet mother of Carmack! Did somebody say gaming on the PC was dead? Well, ok, I’ve been accused of saying that, but the flood of game titles has been on a tremendous decline since developers discovered that consoles print money. But I digress. So, what are the PC hardware manufacturers doing [...]
Unreal Tournament 3 hits Xbox 360 in July
To quote Victor Lin from Bloodsport “It’s about f**king time!”
Epic Games announced today that the long-awaited (or rather ‘late-coming’) Xbox 360 version of Unreal Tournament 4.. er, I mean 3 (I guess Epic forgot about UT2003) hits North American store shelves on July 7th. The 360 release gets a split-screen multiplayer mode, new characters, [...]
90s gaming… I just can’t quit you.
I’m of the opinion that there are few eras in gaming more important than the 1990s. Yes, gaming started in the 70s, and took the world by storm in the 80s, but the real beginning of the industry as we know it today happened in the 90s. I mean, just look at the [...]
DoDonPachi Dai Fukkatsu - “Bullet Hell” is back!
Mmmmm…. nothing quite warms the cockles of my heart like Japanese arcade shmups. Sadly though, being in America, we rarely get top notch arcade titles anymore since the decline of the gameroom. If it shot out tickets, we might stand a chance of seeing it in one of the mega-cades like Dave & [...]
SoulCalibur on XBLA gets ever closer…
My excitement levels for this game literally exploded (gah, there goes my favorite jeans) when it was announced that the Dreamcast version of SoulCalibur was coming to XBox LIVE Arcade. In between then and now, my unadulterated fanboyism waned a bit when it was discovered that there would be no online play, however, I [...]
Only Steve Weibe can save the future.
It’s no great secret that I am a giant video game nerd. The majority of my childhood memories are tied to various video game titles. I collect, analyze, and read everything I can about games. I actually setup a television in my garage and spent a three-day weekend playing retro games! [...]
Soul Calibur on XBLA - First Screens!
I wrote up a rather excited post back when Namco-Bandai announced the upcoming release of Soul Calibur on Xbox Live Arcade this summer. After I finished writing the article, I hooked up my Dreamcast to the high-def television in the living room to get back into shape and eagerly await more news. Well, [...]
