It's been something people have wanted for a long time, and the idea that this could be a sort of “Sonic 4&... Grue renewed: Fallout 3's Reign of Grelock is playable 7 Sadly, this article isn't about a Zork remake (not that a text-only game would benefit from bump mapping or bloom lighting) -- I just needed a catchy headline that would attract text adventure en... A Star Radish gameplay video, growing in the wild 9 Ok, if you aren't some sort of SNK enthusiast, bear with me here.

Could Close Range be the funniest faux FPS ever? 29 It's highly possible that it is the funniest faux FPS ever, but I've been known to get worked up over incredibly stupid things before. Then again, haven't we all? The Onion has a first-hand repor... Dead Rising 2 trailer? Probably not, but this is still pretty cool 34 I know we cried wolf before, but that was for humor's sake.

Vii, Wii, Pii, they all sound kind of like something you might see peddle... Destructoid exclusive: Alan Wake TGS 08 teaser 89 A few days ago, a promotion that Microsoft ran for Windows Vista resurfaced on the Internet.

I think I'm losing my mind: Extra Mario Bros 49  There are times in my life where I think I'm going insane. When I'm up late watching Comedy Central and they actually start dropping the f-bomb despite it being basic cable. When I go to a ... Fake game Friday: Hatred and Pride 18 More often than not, modern videogames aren't really about choices.

I could literally not know less about either of these franchises, suffice it to say that I imagine thi... Games time forgot: Spycraft 24 At first glance, this week's forgotten game might not seem like anything special. The graphics are dated, the story is developed almost entirely through hammy FMV cutscenes, and 99 percent of... Fake game Friday: Onimusha: The Game: The Movie: The Game: Starring Jean Reno 17 This week's fake game is one for the record books, and it's brought to you courtesy of tazarthayoot and, as always, Fronz's mad Photoshop skills.

Probably not, but here it is anyway 64 I'm going to go out on a limb and say this isn't really a leaked Halo 3 beta video, but you never know -- it could be. Think Bungie and MS are upset?
