Mega Man 9 embraces its dark past
With Capcom’s upcoming Mega Man 9 celebrating its return to roots, many fans were surprised at the lengths Capcom went to recreate that classic retro experience, even adding a sprite flicker option to enhance the experience.

Mirror’s Edge continues to deliver

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, [...]
E3 Wolfenstein footage
As id continues to cycle through its mainstay franchises (Doom, Quake, Wolfenstein) it seems it is now time for William ”BJ” Blazkowicz to save the earth once again from the occult experimentation of the Third Reich……again.

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 [...]

But even so, they are considering bringing online features back to the series, according to a Times Online interview with Nancy Smith (head of EA’s Sims division). The [...]
Getting ahead of themselves: Take Two announces Bioshock 3?
That’s right. According to Ars Technica, Strauss Zelnick, the chairman at Take Two got a bit carried away during a conference call and consequentially let it slip that Take Two would be producing a Bioshock 3.
The comment was made in regards to the release of the planned Bioshock movie. Zelnick said that the movie [...]
Duke Nukem Forever gameplay
Just when we had all forgotten about 3D-Realms long awaited project, late last year they sprung a teaser trailer re-igniting interest in Duke Nukem Forever, and subsequently decade old forum jokes. Now though, adding fuel to the fire of a prospective 2008 release, gameplay footage has surfaced.
