Classof Heroesis a PSP dungeon-crawler published in North America by Atlus.Clashof Heroesis the abbreviation my mind makes for the brilliant puzzle-RPG hybridMight & Magic: Clash of Heroescoming to PSN and Xbox Live Arcade later this year. So, you can see how I might have freaked out upon seeing a headline saying thatClass of Heroeson PS3 has been delayed. It only took a moment to realize my mistake but then I seized upon an idea: If I wrote a story about how the HD remake ofClass of Heroes 2is going to have its Japanese release date delayed by one week, I could include the aforementioned humorous anecdote....

I’m not sure exactly whatGears of War 2designer Cliff Bleszinski has been taught about women,but according to him, videogame betas are like scoring with a girl and then throwing her away. Do you not follow? Allow Clifford to explain: “A beta is like hooking up with a girl just to say, ‘Yeah, I fucked her.’ I know that sounds crude, but it’s the honest-to-God truth. Once you play a beta, you can check it off your list – you can say, ‘Yeah, I played it....

You may recall a while back that the man behind theKatamari Damacygames, Keita Takahashi, was working on a new game with a similar visual style and quirky Japanese flavor,Nobi Nobi Boy. I was unable to forget because the main character looks so despicably creepy that he hasn’t left my dark nightmares alone for a single God-damned night. Nobi Nobi Boyaims to continue the work thatKatamaristarted by finding unique ways to interact with a game world....

The latest episode of Crash TV is up and it’s all aboutBurnout Paradise’sBig Surf Island DLC. The Criterion folks show off the Carson Dust Storm and the guys drive it all over Big Surf Island showing off what makes the new place so special. As I said in mypreview earlier, everything is bigger, better and faster when it comes to Big Surf Island. There are a ton of big jumps, lots of new places to explore and gives new life to theBurnout Paradiseexperience....

Crytek wants to tell you about character progression inCrysis 2‘s multiplayer mode, and apparently it all starts with the Nanosuit. A new trailer details how you can tailor your suit to your own specifications, after gaining points by shooting, sniping and doing anything that isn’t related to spawn camping. I am intrigued by the potential wealth of options on display, but I’m still a little wary. The demodidn’t do a good jobof roping me in, and it was hard to play after the polished intensity ofKillzone 3....

So the good Rey Gutierrez (whose last name I will forever pronounce Guitar-Rez while wailing on an air guitar no matter if I find out that is wrong or not) sent over a link toDaft Punk: The Gameyesterday and exclaimed it was like a platforming version ofRez. Being a fan of both the awesomely awesome Daft Punk and the incredibly incredibleRezI have to admit I got a bit excited, and since I had just gotten done playing one of themost ridiculously awesome flash games everI had some high hopes for this sucker....

Everyone keeps talking about how iPhone games can and will be the next big thing, but the fact of the matter is that there isn’t many “must have” games. That all may change next month when Puzzle Quest hits the app store. TransGaming toldKotakuthat the game is undergoing final approval now. It should be good to go just in time for the holidays, where it will only run you $9.95....

I was playing tower defense games long before (well, theWarcraft IIIdays)Desktop Tower Defensebecame the hit that it is now, but even still I played the game for an unholy amount of time without growing tired in the least bit. The cool cats atRock, Paper, Shotgunhave let everyone know that a pro-ified version has popped up on the Internet. In other, more sensible words, it’s still free, butDesktop TD Prohas even more great content, and expanded player options....

Capcom has nothing to cry about with theDevil May Cryfranchise (I made a funny joke), because the ludicrous action series hasjust recently shippedits 10 millionth copy. Hurray! The most recent of the games,Devil May Cry 4, accounts for 2.2 million of that figure, but Capcom isn’t sharing details of any of the other games. It’s also worth pointing out that the announcement concerns shipments, not sales, as some are reporting. Capcom was quick to note thatDMC 4achieved its numbers “despite being released early in the life cycle of the current generation of systems....

He might be several weeks late to the party, but that’s not stopped National Alliance on Mental Illness executive director Mike Fitzpatrick claiming himself a slice of the outrage pie. Outrage pie is delicious, after all, with a side of controversy bread and an ice-cold glass of reaction. The NAMI bigwighas accusedManhunt 2of reinforcing negative stereotypes of the mentally ill by casting protagonist Daniel Lamb as an escaped mental patient....

While the knowledge that those NetflixInstant Watch discsfor streaming movies on PlayStation 3 aren’t permanent isn’t new, the notion that the disc-less embedded application won’t be out until “late next year”is. Well, “kind of” — I mostly just wanted an excuse to post this picture fromThe Dark Crystal. After checking in with Netflix VP of corp. communications Steve Swasey (longest title ever),G4TV found outthat “using the disc” is how we’ll have to watch movies on our PS3s until “late next year....

It’s aDragon Agedeal bonanza on Xbox LIVE Marketplace this week, with deals on a bunch of in-game content and two pieces of (arguably) useless Avatar gear! Let’s get the good stuff out of the way first — three add-ons are on sale. “Awakening” is now 1600 MS Points, “Return to Ostagar” is 240 MS Points, and “Warden’s Keep” is only 400 MS Points. Already got that stuff and just want to show off your BioWare pride?...
