Mario teams up with Rex for co-op in Super Mario World Resident Nintendoholic Jonathan tipped me off to this video of two-player co-op in Super Mario World. Why Rex instead of Luigi? Why not? Upon further digging, my big takeaway was that tinkering ...
You are so not ready: City Bus Simulator 2010 Seven minutes and sixteen seconds is entirely too long for a video on the Internet. Especially when said video is about a game called City Bus Simulator 2010. Even if this was the top of the lin...
Currently 'no plans' to bring Resident Evil 5's DLC to PC In recent years, Capcom has made some great progress in terms of becoming invested in PC gaming. The developer's last couple of major releases have seen solid ports, and in many cases, their excl...
'The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned' gets its own site November 24? Why, that's next week! In the rush of recent releases, I had almost forgotten about my beloved Borderlands and its premier downloadable content pack, "The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned." ...
Crazy enough to work: Left 4 Dead campaigns in L4D2 In this episode of "Adventures in Batsh*t Insane PC Gamer Trickery," we get to see how a conversion of Left 4 Dead to the Left 4 Dead 2 standard is done. Someone was crazy enough to bring the fir...
The Beatles: Rock Band gets a new holiday commercial Every time that launch commercial for The Beatles: Rock Band makes an appearance, I'm always blown away by how fantastic it really is. I'm still not certain how the advertisement was crafted, al...
Friday Night Fights: Left 4 Dead 2 edition Ah, Left 4 Dead 2. The last major release for this year on my "why haven't you got this yet?" list. I figured it would be worth pacing myself with Modern Warfare 2 as the go-to multiplayer game,...
You will never look at Mario the same way again What is it about this obese Mario mask that makes it so damned terrifying? My immediate thought was the tongue. Oh God, the tongue! But then my eyes were drawn to the bulbous red nose. Has Mario ...
What the foxtrot? Jurassic: The Hunted gets an XBL demo I'm starting to feel legitimately bad for giving Jurassic: The Hunted so much positive attention. Some people seem to be mistaking our affection for the game as completely sincere, thinking it's...
Games on Demand: Saints Row 2, LEGO Indiana Jones Drat your headline character limit, Elephant! I was one letter away from squeezing "next week" in there. You haven't seen the last of me; I know where you live. On Tuesday, November 24, Games on ...
Worms 2: Armageddon gets a big ol' update There's a problem with a lot of Xbox LIVE Arcade Games -- their online communities tend to die off before too long. Even the good ones can suffer from this, simply because there's so many competi...
Ultimate cheapassery: The 2-hour Torchlight demo Since many of you are like-minded folk, I can only assume you spend a good portion of your days pointing and clicking. I know I do. Why then, are we wasting our precious finger energy performing ...
Real men have an actual box for their Netflix PS3 disc This has to be the collector in me saying this, but whenever I or someone I know misplaces a game box (usually the latter), forcing me to forever hold onto a loose disc, it drives me up the walls...
Huge surprise: Silent Hill 2 movie sounds pretty sketchy The Silent Hill movie tends to pop up on occasion when discussions about good videogame movies happen. The only problem with that is, when compared to everything else in the medium, even the best...
PSA: Gamefly has a ton of Wii and 360 games for under $10 You wouldn't know it by looking at my credit card bills, but I have never been a member of GameFly. I have, however, racked up a bunch of meager transactions over the years whenever they try to p...
Here's footage of that hidden detonate-the-nuke MW2 mode Does Global Thermonuclear War ring any bells? It was one of the hidden multiplayer modes in Modern Warfare 2 that Josh told us about just the other day. Having opened up the developer console, w...
Peggle, Sonic 2, and more getting XBLA discounts In the past, a good percentage of Xbox LIVE's so-called deals have been pretty crummy. But for the rest of this month, the Deal of the Week promos are surprisingly good. Don't believe it? Keep on...
You can do 'the Carlton' in 1 vs. 100 Season 2 Season 2 of 1 vs. 100 begins tonight, and I couldn't be more thrilled. Why? Besides it being a genuinely fun trivia game, we have just been given word that "the Carlton" and "the Elaine" will be...
The BioShock 2 Special Edition is packed full of goodies For me, BioShock 2 has been one of those rare sequels where I thought it was simply unnecessary, but as time has gone by, I've become increasingly interested in playing it. Dare I say it -- I'm a...
Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition coming to PS3, 360 Capcom is going all out with expanding the core Resident Evil 5 experience, it seems. RE5: Gold Edition was announced today, and thankfully, it's the same exact thing as the oft-talked about Alte...
Mortal Kombat fighters like you've never seen them before Commence hyperventilating. Back when Vincent Proce was working over at Midway, he submitted a pitch for a new Mortal Kombat. The game in question was to be a total overhaul of the series' "origin...
Pre-order Aliens vs. Predator, get cool multiplayer skins What's this? A generally worthwhile, rather neat pre-order bonus from GameStop? Praise the heavens! As you can see from the picture above, three multiplayer skins for Aliens vs. Predator can be y...
Serious Sam HD has seriously gone gold Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter has gone gold, and is now up for pre-purchase over on Steam. Doing so will allow you to keep a few extra dollars in hand as you wait for the game to unlock on ...
What? Huh? Oh! Neat: The 2010 IGF Student entries By now, you have hopefully taken some time out of your schedule to tinker with the more interesting 2010 Independent Games Festival Main Competition entries. If not, it's never too late to remedy...
Supreme Commander 2 ups the robots vs. robots ante By the time I'm a withered old man, I expect to have 3D board games with battles that unfold similar to the scene presented in this Supreme Commander 2 image. It could be sorta like The Indian in...
Halo: Reach to be shown off at the Spike VGAs Still fired up from those leaked Halo: Reach images? Then sit down, and prepare to immediately stand up in just a second. Probably. Along with the list of nominees for the Spike Video Game Awards...
A Kingdom for Keflings is getting a PC release The first Xbox LIVE Arcade game with playable Avatars was NinjaBee's A Kingdom for Keflings, a quirky game about bossing around villagers as a giant and looking for hearts buried deep inside the ...
Gearbox had the opportunity to make a Blade Runner game If you ever wondered what a Blade Runner videogame could look like in today's gaming landscape, the above CryEngine 2 mock-up should be sufficient. According to a recent report from OXM, Gearbox ...

Left 4 Dead gets an NES de-make What you are no doubt watching right now, as you're reading this, is in fact a playable game. PixelForce, which mainly consists of a single person named Eric Ruth, brought it upon themselves to ...
Pre-order Lost Planet 2, get Resident Evil's Wesker This is the sort of mash-up you dream about but never get to see actually happen. On second thought, Capcom totally did this with the last Lost Planet. Remember Frank West? He was playable in it....
The BioShock 2 cover art holds a secret (Update) Yep, the box art for BioShock 2 sure does look similar in style and substance to the first ga--whoa. Now wait just a minute! What ... what is that? Look to the left of the Little Sister's head! W...
Mad Catz: Microsoft won't block our Wireless N adapter While Mad Catz' wireless N adapter may not be as sleek as the official Microsoft device, it has a few good things going for it. Namely, its price -- $79.99 compared to Microsoft's $100 asking pri...
Free (temporary) Xbox LIVE Gold for all! Since I haven't booted my Xbox 360 up yet today, I haven't seen the glory that is the new dashboard update. From what I hear, it's decent. Not super useful, and not really good or bad, just "dece...
Ode to Joy: Peggle making it to PS3 this week PopCap's plan to bring the utterly delightful Peggle to every conceivable platform is coming to fruition. This week, the PlayStation 3 version comes out of hiding. On Thursday, PlayStation Networ...
It lives! RC car racer Things on Wheels gets a trailer Load Inc. knows a thing or two about creating racing games that star RC cars. Mad Tracks, the studio's 2007 release, was enjoyable at the time. It's been about that long since I last played the ...
Shattered Horizon getting a freebie map pack It sounds like Futuremark Games Studio, the folks behind the newish zero gravity PC FPS Shattered Horizon, have plans to give back to all of the guys and gals who downloaded the game. The first d...

Confirmed: Command & Conquer 4 contains snow In the future, wars will be fought with machines designed by guys who love them some Transformers. If Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight is an accurate portrayal of the future, that is. I...
'Super Guide' for Super Mario Galaxy 2? It could happen While the "Super Guide" -- which you can now see for yourself in the recently released New Super Mario Bros. Wii -- is something many of us will never encounter accidentally, it's going to be hel...
This week on XBLA: Diner Dash and Gyromancer Generally speaking, there doesn't seem to be much rhyme or rhythm to the Xbox LIVE Arcade release schedule. But if I had to make a guess, I'd say the theme for this Wednesday's games, Gyromancer ...
Infinity Ward is listening to your party chat complaints By now, if you've played Modern Warfare 2 online, you will have noticed some of the playlists don't allow the use of Xbox LIVE's party chat functionality. The main reason for the lack of support ...
Get a PSPgo for $199 using a PlayStation Card Similar to last year's PlayStation Card promotion for a cheap(er) PlayStation 3, Sony is offering more savings to those who use the special credit cards to buy Sony merchandise. This time, the pr...
Dino D-Day: Great mod or greatest mod? It finally happened. Someone made a Half-Life 2 mod about Nazis, dinosaurs, and Nazi dinosaurs. Sure, the main reason why I want to even give it a try is incredibly shallow, but even still, it's ...

Friday Night Fights: Modern Warfare 2, y'all edition This has been one hell of a big week for online gaming. The simple inclusion of predator drones alone in Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer instantly had me falling in love with an already satisfying...
Avalanche live streaming Just Cause 2 later today There are some videogames that are almost more fun to watch than they are to play. Having not played Just Cause 2 myself, I can't say for sure if it will be one of them, but it sure does look to ...
Please be true: Alan Wake rumored to be out in May Horror/thriller game fans, it's been a long wait. During the last E3, when it was announced that Alan Wake would be ready in time for a spring 2010 release, I was just happy to hear the game wasn...
DiRT 2 demands DX11, Intel Core i7 for maximum sexiness Now DiRT 2 may not be the prettiest racing game ever, but it's quite the sight to behold. And with the PC version of the off-road racer supporting DirectX 11, it's going to be even more stunning....
Pre-order Split Second, get a vehicle of some sort Exciting, huh? Black Rock's Split Second provides so many thrills that the studio decided to turn the insanity down a notch for the game's obligatory GameStop-exclusive pre-order bonus. As you ca...
Love the color red? This Tony Hawk: RIDE board is for you Guys, I'm not sure if you are aware of this or not, but Tony Hawk: RIDE is making its way to store shelves on November 17. That's next week. For a game launching so soon, we sure don't know anyth...
Pinball Heroes now up on the PSP Store I originally scoffed at the idea of an Uncharted-centric pinball game for PlayStation Portable, so now I feel like a proper jerk. There are four separate tables under the Pinball Heroes moniker t...
Pitchford talks Borderlands' level cap, DLC, and more There's an interview with Gearbox's Randy Pitchford up on Game Informer an--actually, it's not so much an interview as it is him telling us everything we want to hear and so much more. Seriously....
Be on the lookout for Diablo III in the 'next few years' Here's a bit of sad news for Diablo III fans. So sad, in fact, that if you happen to be one of those "I can never let anyone see me cry" guys, you should probably run off to a secluded area. Like...

Huh? Deadly Premonition will be $20 at launch? SOLD! For once, this isn't sarcasm. I have a weak spot for technically awful, semi-decent, usually goofy budget videogames such as, yes, Jurassic: The Hunted. Deadly Premonition, which was announced ye...
You can decide the fate of Modern Warfare 2's DLC (maybe) Similar to previous statements made by Activision, Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling told MTV Multiplayer that beyond the two planned DLC packs, the studio will be looking for player feedback to dic... |
