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.
Unexpectedly the thanks goes to Jace Hall, CEO of [...]
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 [...]
Guitar Hero: Metallica announced
Looking for a proper plastic fretboard workout now that you’ve completed Guitar Hero III on Expert, and don’t fancy the look of “that other band” Guitar Hero, or the carpal tunnel inducing Guitar Hour: On Tour for DS? Well look no further, as it seems inflated bank accounts are drawn to each other in the [...]
XBLA games to be discontinued
Do not fear fellow gamers, by the headline I am not referring to the best and brightest of the XBLA catalog, only those which Microsoft deem have run there course. By what merits would they be able to identify the good from the bad though? Reported earlier this week on NextGen in an interview with [...]
Dead Space: EA’s best looking new IP
Fittingly set for release on Halloween of this year, Dead Space is looking very promising. Mixing the third-person survival horror of the Silent Hill series with the sci-fi aesthetic and action of Doom, as well as the promise of zero-gravity gameplay, things are shaping up nicely for this big budget title. Sure it’s not the [...]
Overachieving: Is there such a thing?
Microsoft’s latest game console, the Xbox 360, has been out for more than two years now. Most of us here own this super system and have grown familiar with its ups and downs. But there is something MS has pulled off quite nicely and that is to implant obsession amongst its faithful followers. That obsession [...]
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, [...]
Xbox 360 Lips being announced tomorrow?
Yeah, you got me with this one too. But rumor has it that a new Xbox 360 accessory is going to be announced at tomorrow’s Microsoft Gamerday 08 in San Fransisco. The code name (and lord I hope it’s just a code name) is Lips. Also rumored to make an [...]
Viva Piñata 2 announced!
It’s coming soon! Microsoft’s main family friendly game, developed by Rare. The last game didn’t make any huge leaps in getting whole families to buy Xbox 360s, but it was still a good game with an addictive goal of collecting piñata animals and keeping your garden where the piñatas live nice and tidy. Click the [...]
First look: Gears of War 2 gameplay
Two years after the original “Emergence Day” will see the return of Marcus Phoenix and the COG team in Gears of War 2, slated for release in November. Epic’s console baby has grown into one of Xbox 360’s most important franchises and after its official announcement in February we now have the first peek [...]
