I never knew this.Stadium Events, that rare NES game by Bandai, could be kinda…not…rare if you get the PAL version. The NTSC version hit the US, but then was discontinued, making it more rare. BlogVideo Game Price Chartslays it all out with a diagram. Long story short? If the name “Stadium Events” is all on one line, it’s the rare NTSC version, being worth up to $13,00 if complete. The PAL one has the name split over two lines....
Bethesda has released a new trailer forHunted: The Demon’s Forge, titled “At War With Monsters.” The footage features monsters and some war. That’s good. Hype for this game has been rather low, but I’m very much into it and I’m looking forward to seeing if the final product turns out well. Guess we’ll see!

So what does Sony Computer Entertainment Japan think Japanese gamers are going to want when Move launches later this year? “Hardcore” games apparently. The company has announced two PlayStation Move bundle packs to accompany the controller’s October 21, and neither are games your grandmother is (likely) going to want to play. First is theResident Evil 5: Gold Editionbundle that ships with Capcom’s title (updated for Move support), a PlayStation Eye camera, and one PlayStation Move motion controller; it’ll run gamers 7,980 yen, or roughly $90 US dollars....
How did Sony know I’vealwayswanted to roleplay as the premiere female martyr of the French? They’re so sensitive, so thoughtful, always anticipating my needs. I know they said that Blu-Ray was the wave of the future, and I believe them. Really I do. I can always rely on you to make sound decisions, Sony. Backwards compatibility was always just a silly fad, anyway. Seriously though, the game itself looks kind of neat....

The folks atThe Kartelmake a good point. Why can’t we customize our Pokemon trainers? It’s not like it would be that difficult of a thing to code in, as just about all the humans in Pokemon games look exactly the same. Hapuriainen, a deviantART artist, was probably thinking the exact thing. They have created a Pokemon Trainer Dress Up Flash app that you can use to make your own trainers. I did that, as you’ll see above....
Ifthis is true, then somebody has slipped upbig time. A planning document has appeared on Sega’s PR site that, for all intents and purposes, confirms the existence of PlayStation 2/PlayStation 3 backwards compatability. The document says, clear as day, that Sony has plans to sell PS2 games via the PSN. If Sony’s planning that, the PS3’s going to need some emulation capabilities for all units. Here’s what the document says: PS2 emulator for PS3 (confidential)...
You may have heard today, but LEGO has tappedAuto Assaultcreator NetDevil to create an MMO based on the LEGO franchise. Details are scarce as far as what setting the game will actually take place in or pretty much everything else that may have to do with the game. But, what I can say is that it will probably suck and that none of us will ever play it. Here arethe deets:...
The end of our time at Bullworth is almost at an end. I am filled with melancholy as I think back upon all of the fun we’ve had there. We stuffed kids into lockers and trash cans, defied authority figures at every turn and ensured that there’s at least one alcoholic on the staff just to keep everyone on their toes. Tonight, I believe we will clear another game out of the Backlog, one less game sitting in my collection unfinished....

The studio behind Xbox LIVE Arcade titleMagic: The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers“have a bunch of DLC planned,” but the optional content won’t be offered like many fans have imagined. Instead of traditional boosters, Stainless Games will provide entire decks. In other words, there won’t be any random cards or buyer’s remorse: you know what you’re going to get when you buy it. “A good way to think of it is like the old theme decks or our current intro decks....
When Arrowhead studios said their plans for futureMagickaDLCwere really “out there”, they weren’t kidding. They’ve just announced a new pack for the game dated this spring, called “Magicka: Vietnam.” Yeah, that’s right.Magicka: Vietnam. If you haven’t seen the trailer yet,see it. And then read a quote from Arrowhead’s press release: Have you ever wondered what it would have been like if wizards were allowed to roam the jungles of war-torn Vietnam, attempting to bring peace and stability to the region by casting spells on all opponents?...
