SPOILERS: Entire game of Sin and Punishment 2 on Youtube 14 2D shmups are back with a vengeance these days, while 3D shmup releases are at an all time low.

MGS VS Half-Life 237 Last week's bonus questions brought in even more discussion than the week before, and when you outdo a Zelda and Final Fantasy debate, that's saying something.

Pre-order RE: The Darkside Chronicles, get a money clip 9 I don't know what it is with the Resident Evil series in particular, but the games always seem to have crazy (and neat) swag associated with them. Continuing this trend of rad merchandise, GameCr... Run, jump, shoot: check out Sparky's Star Guard 4 I don't know about you guys, but it's a slow day here at work.

Scivelation announced for Xbox 360/PS3 (it's a shooter) 15 We don't have enough videogames with pretentious, hard-to-pronounce titles, so here's Topware and Black Wing Foundations with a brand new third-person-shooter for the Xbox 360 and PS3 that they'v...

Review: Dead Space Extraction 43 When it was first announced that the Wii would be getting its own Dead Space title, fans of the original game immediately cried foul.

Mushihime-sama Futari on 360 could be region-free 22 Legendary shooter developer Cave is as famous for unnecessarily region-locking its games as it is for making them. But as a pleasant surprise, they're considering not doing so with their next dis... Zombie Apocalypse features MC Hammer Achievement 20 I'm well aware that this is actually not news, in fact you might even go as far as to say it is anti-news. If this post and a real news post touched the world might end. However, every Sunday at ... Tecmo admits that Quantum will be compared to Gears of War 24 Tecmo is working on a game called Quantum that I got to peek at during E3. The game is looking like it could potentially be quite good, but there's no denying the fact that it looks almost exactl... Clean off the couch, Lost Planet 2 might have offline co-op 18 Split-screen gaming is going the way of the Dodo, which is a bird that is now extinct (Why did I feel the need to explain that?) Split-screen co-op is even rarer, and yet playing a game with a g... GC 09: New Mafia II screens up in this Mo' Fo' 9 I had a lot of hope for Godfather II, but in the end, it was a bit disappointing.

GC 09: If Just Cause 2 was an action movie, I would watch it 21 Here's the quick version: Just Cause 2 got a gamescom-themed trailer, which you can skip ahead and catch after the break.

The clash of old versus new brought out all sorts of supporters and critics. The thought process of many of the comments was logical, balanced, ...

Rumortoid: Playable female character in Gears of War 47 So you may have noticed the severe lack of women in the Gears of War universe. There's Dom's wife, that other woman who keeps yelling at you over the intercom and I think I saw one running for he... You are going to love this new Borderlands trailer 64 Let's get right to the point: Borderlands is sh*t-hot. More and more, I'm beginning to think that the game's surprise makeover was really just a clever ploy to get people to pay attention. If so,... SDCC: Army of Two: The 40th Day has morals and sh*t, bro 13 Either this latest video for Army of Two: The 40th Day is superbly cut, or the dialog for Salem and Rios has grown up ever so slightly.
