Rush'n Attack: Ex Patriot has a major problem when it comes to plot. You see, it's not the late 1980s anymore, so the rampant fear of Soviet Russia doesn't hang over us like a red curtain. So Rush'n Attack: Ex Patriot address...

Since Super Meat Boy was first announced, it's inspired two comic books, plenty of stuffed "animals", and an educational series of posts on game design, among other things. The US army even sent the game's developers a flag. Not bad for a ...

I love my PlayStation 3 -- a lot more than I really should. My curvy, delicious, Japanese piece of hardware likes it when I set the lights low, turn the stereo up and play with her all night long. There's something particularly special abo...

Alan Wake has been a long time coming. Back in 2005, we were shown a game featuring a guy who looked like Johnny Depp in the film Secret Window. Which would make sense -- both are both about male writers dealing with writer's block, and its...

Looking at Crackdown 2, it's pretty clear that developer Ruffian Games wants to make the game that much bigger and that much better than before. While that's all grand and good, Crackdown 2 is really aiming to take what was once great and m...

March 3 is going to be a pretty exciting day for those who are into videogames. Microsoft has some interesting spring plans with Block Party, a sort of Summer of Arcade for the equinoctial crowd. Kicking things off on March 3 is Toy Soldier...

By now you hopefully know that Microsoft has a big month of March planned for DLC and downloadable games. Actually, its spring "Block Party" is a flagship event, much like their Summer of Arcade.  This March we’ll receive Perfect...

While filling up your 360's hard drive is getting to be an easier and easier task thanks to the plethora of quality downloadable games and game demos on the system it doesn't seem that Microsoft will be releasing a 250GB hard drive on the r...

Back in 2000, when the original Perfect Dark came out, Rare was riding high. They had just come off the most successful console first-person shooter ever made, they and Nintendo were BFFs, and Perfect Dark was on everybody's lips. Fast forw...

If you paid attention to all the X10 news that broke out yesterday, you'd notice Left 4 Dead (both of them!) is receiving all sorts of new updates. Between a comic book, an awesome-sounding return to the original game with new downloadable ...

When I walked into, well, Game Room, I honestly had the feeling that the thing I was about to experience was going to be a lot like PlayStation Home. You know, controlling your Avatar through a virtual space and all. However, that's not the...

I loved the original Dead Rising, and it is a really wonderful thing to see that the game is making a solid return to gamer's minds with Dead Rising 2. Capcom and Blue Castle Games are clearly making a title that is going to be a hit with f...

I've never been a fan of Halo because I'm too cool for school, and popular games are hella lame, and no one cool likes what everyone likes. I also wear thick rimmed glasses and listen to pretentious music, so that makes me a better person t...

I hope you guys have been having a good time checking out the X10 information that has been flowing out like a stream of Microsoft-branded consciousness. Seriously, it's kicking the butts of everyone who is going, and I'm doing my best to g...

To compliment the news that Alan Wake won't be coming to PC, here are some fresh screenshots that show off the "psychological action thriller thing" in action. The images are basically what we've come to expect from Alan Wake: Lots of walki...

Each new Fable brings fresh ideas and new mechanics to the table. Fable III is no exception -- but one in particular might just get you "super pissed."During the presentation for the upcoming title at Microsoft's media-only X10 event, the L...

[UPDATE]We've since seen the game in action and heard what Lionhead Studios had to spill about Fable III at this particular event. This little bit of humor and editorial is now available below the fold. And why is that, you didn't ask? It's...

One of the many things that I found delightful about Left 4 Dead 2 was its use of daytime levels. It's not something you see done frequently when it comes to zombies, videogames or otherwise. That said, seeing these dark and damp screenshot...

Earlier we told you a bit about Dead Rising 2's downloadable content, called Dead Rising: CASE ZERO. This playable prologue ties together the two games. We have a bit of new information on it, but one of the key points is that it is exclusi...

Microsoft's old-school gaming hub Game Room is coming to Xbox 360 this March, and it's already been confirmed to launch with 30 titles. But starting in April, expect somewhere between five and seven games a week to be added for download. Li...

From Microsoft's X10 event today we learned that Dead Rising 2 is coming on August 31st. Nice. If you've ever done time at an anime convention, you know about squeeing. It's like a high-pitched squeal of delight that you'd typically release...

The weather in San Francisco just isn't "warm" enough to warrant a Gears of War reveal, but that doesn't mean the ongoing Microsoft's media-only X10 event lacks Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago. A mere three images of the duo's cameo have snuc...

So you know when Alan Wake hit store shelves -- May 19. You know what's inside the Limited Edition box, too. But when you go to the store, what should you be looking for?  This stuff, apparently. Microsoft and Remedy have released more...

That's the first Left 4 Dead, folks. New DLC for the older game, to kind of go alongside the new Left 4 Dead 2 DLC. Confused? There's two DLC packs coming, one for each game. They kind of tie together. First off, the L4D2 DLC, The Passing, ...

With a slew of release dates being revealed at X10 and Crackdown 2 one of the few games not included, I was more than a little bummed out. But then, approximately five seconds later, a ton of new screenshots -- including the cover art -- wa...
