Despite previously claiming that there is no way to delete the perma-save in Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions without "corrupting" the game entirely, Namco Bandai has admitted that there is a secret way of wiping data safely.&...

"I think we have a demographic for it," I was told by a Namco Bandai PR rep. Let me back up -- mere moments earlier, he asked what I thought of Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures; I returned his questioning with nothing more...

With Pac-Man Championship Edition for Xbox Live Arcade, Namco Bandai set the bar for the evolution of its pellet-munching mascot. Now, the little yellow hero is back with Pac-Man Championship Edition DX, and despite the fact ...

Painkiller Hell & Damnation has been out on PC since Halloween, just long enough that I had forgotten console versions of the no-nonsense first-person shooter were ever announced. They were, and according to a new update ...

A little over a month since the launch of Operation 'Zombie Bunker', Nordic and The Farm 51 have launched Hell & Damnation's fourth piece of DLC, which can be downloaded on Steam for £2.99/$3.99/ €3.99. Th...

Fans eager for more Painkiller Hell & Damnation are going to be eager to get their hands on the title's first full-fledged downloadable content. Entitled "Medieval Horror," this PC-only DLC features a new, four-chapter ca...

[Editor's note: I used an NTSC copy of Pandora's Tower on a launch Wii unit. As I mention further down, it's very likely that this bug won't affect everybody. I merely want to play it safe and alert those people who will run ...

Pangya, the greatest MMO golf game in the universe, is turning 4 this week. SG Interactive has all kinds of fun things lined up for Pangya Challenges to celebrate this anniversary, including giveaways and online events.  ...

Pangya is still, in my mind, the best thing ever. Ever. Right under corgis and tiramisu. Videogame golf, folks. Don't knock it until you've tried it. If you have tried it, and are playing golf MMO Pangya, know that the next ...

A Sony Japan teaser website has culminated in the release of a trailer for a game called Panopticon which, to my eyes, looks like another take on the popular Monster Hunter formula. One in which fashionable young people (wit...

I've always loved the Paper Mario series. Brilliant writing, turn-based combat with a fun twist, and tons of adorable characters all come together to create some pretty amazing experiences. When I heard that the series was co...

It's no secret that I love the Paper Mario series. And it's no secret that when the 3DS was announced at last year's E3, the game I wanted the most on it was the new Paper Mario. Sadly, a year later, still no word o...

The Paper Mario series has long followed an odd trajectory, filling in the holes left in the wake of new trends on Nintendo consoles. The original N64 title and its GameCube sequel worked to satiate both fans of 2D Mario game...

I've yet to play Paper Mario: Sticker Star, or even manage to see Nintendo's television spot for the 3DS game prior to now, but little things like that aren't going to stop me from enjoying this behind-the-scenes look at Nin...

The Real Texas, developed by Calvin French, is a game that spoke to me. I honestly think about it and its characters all the time. It's a very special game and one that I love dearly. Mr. French has been teasing his new "boa...

Parallax showed up on Steam Greenlight late last year, with gameplay tasking the player with navigating a stark, monochromatic space and traveling between two parallel universes. It looked mind bending before, and now Toasty...

With all the recent attempts to de-mystify the Greenlight system on Steam, it seems like there's some things that are only being found out the hard way. Mike Maulbeck of developer Code Averice created a Greenlight page for h...

Lately I've been terrifying myself with the growing number of spooky game projects that have been popping up on PC. Things like Slender and SCP-087 have been giving me the creeps, and I can't stop myself looking for more. As ...

As you are no doubt aware, some videogame music can be incredible. Combine that with an equally amazing stage to perform it on and you've got something really unique. That's exactly what's happening on August 20 at the Sydney...

Back when they pooped out Parasite Eve on PSN earlier this year we were also teased with the release of the second game. Japan and Europe danced around like as*holes with their releases while we watched our Aya excitement go ...

Mistwalker's next game isn't a massive multi-disc RPG or anything even close to that. It's a surfing game called Party Wave. Let that name echo around in your brain for a second. Sakaguchi's recent tweet: Finally t...

After getting heavily into Minecraft and a handful of titles that came into fruition following the success of Minecraft, I thought I was done with this style of game. Leave it to Linden Lab, of all places, to catch my attent...

Payday 2 feels like one of the most ambitious sequels in recent memory. I was a fan of Payday: The Heist, which in and of itself is high praise. Normally I can't be bothered to play online multiplayer and I've had first-perso...

I really need to get Payday: The Heist. First that crossover with Left 4 Dead happened recently, which added the L4D scenario "No Mercy," and now it has its first DLC today after almost a year of being released. Oh, and ...

Peggle is a pretty old game, so coming up with an interesting way of saying "Peggle is free, guys," can be hard. Well, it would be hard, if there wasn't tons of Peggle noir fan-fiction to go around. There's also a lot of othe...

It looks like two free quest DLC packs weren't the only thing Penny Arcade had up its sleeve, as a surprise free skin pack has just landed for Penny Arcade's On the Rain Slick Precipice of Darkness. As of this mo...

The third installment in the Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness has released for PC. You can snag the retro-inspired RPG from Zeboyd Games, continuing the misadventures of Gabe, Tycho, and f...

Considering that Penny Arcade: On The Rain Slick Precipice of Darkness looked like it would never continue on from the first two episodes, it's with an air of melancholy that the franchise will come to an end with Episode 4. ...

I love the music of Persona series composer Shoji Meguro. He gives all the games a hip, unique feel that no other game music composer out there can even come close to touching. Still, the bad English in the vocal songs are...

European Atlus fans have had it pretty rough recently. Shin Megami Tensei fans finally got Devil Survivor Overclocked on the 3DS nearly two years after the US and Japan, only to find that it currently has a game-breaking bug...

Europeans oftentimes get the short end of the stick when it comes to games. That's been especially true for Atlus fans as of late, but there's finally some good news on the horizon. NIS America has announced that Persona...

Around this time last night was the first we've ever heard of this game and now we've got the first batch of screenshots. Famitsu is all over Persona 4 The Golden, just as they were with all the other series games. Now they h...

Persona 4 The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena is one heck of a good looking fighter. These new screens from Japan show several of the cast members (no one ones yet) in battle, and you'll get plenty of sparks, light flashes and oth...

It's no secret that the PlayStation Vita has been flagging in Japan, hitting record lows on a disappointingly consistent basis. However, thanks to Persona 4: The Golden, sales of the Vita enjoyed a sharp rise in its homeland,...

Persona 4: The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena's opening movie was posted on Atlus' YouTube channel today. It's not much more than the Persona characters being announced and posing, so don't get too excited. Teddy does look like ...

Who knows if Portal 3 will ever come about, but if it does, I have a feeling that Valve may snatch up the students behind DigiPen project Perspective: A 2D platformer played on the walls and objects of a 3D space. In a bad s...

Might & Delight's puzzle-platformer Pid seemed to go under the radar, despite being a game worthy of attention. Here's hoping, then, that a fair amount of free downloadable content can give the title a nice boost. On PC ...
