That’s good to see. Remember the old days when they’d call a game an “arcade-perfect port” or some related nonsense? Bullsh*t, every time. The PS1 and Sega Saturn days had the worst offenders. I think one of theVirtua Fighterswas one of the first I saw that made me think they were right for the first time. They were f’n liars before that. They dont’ even say that anymore. Isn’t that sad?...
According toComputer and Videogames, last week Amazon sold out of their replenished stock of 1,400 Wii consoles in ten minutes. Let me repeat that — Amazon sold 1,400 Wiis in ten minutes. This number really isn’t surprising — the Wii craze shows no signs of slowing down, with people lining up in force this past Friday to pick up the console. Just checking out the listings onmy local Craigslist, people are attempting to sell the console for $400 or more, and are likely finding desperate consumers willing to pay the price....
Look, we all know the PS3 is at an uncomfortable price point for most gamers. Sure, the price has slowly moved closer to an acceptable range, but it’s still too high for some. It doesn’t take an analyst to see that. So we could just as easilyguessdeduce that a PS3 price drop is likely. But here’s another analyst to tell us about the same thing. Lazard Capital Markets analyst Colin Sebastian says that a $100 price drop for Sony’s PS3 is likely....

Here’s a sentence I was hoping I’d get to one day write: Gaijin Games is compiling all of theBit.Tripgamesfor release on 3DS. When publisher Aksys Gamescirculated this image, it became fairly clear that such a collection would eventually be forged, but now we have the official word. No mention of a price or date quite yet, though. Considering it’s all six titles on one cartridge, I’d be more than willing to pay full price forBit....
PetitionOnline has to be one of the worst inventions known to mankind, giving any prissy little bitch with too much time and not enough friends a chance to rally some overly dramatic call to arms about inconsequential rubbish. EnterDiablo III, and a bunch of “fans” who have foundsomething to complain aboutdespite getting a sequel to their favorite games. According to some sad wankers,Diablo IIIis too bright. Yes, in this medium where people complain about there being too much gray and brown and darkness in games, there exists a subset of humanoid insects who think things aren’t darkenough....
In this exclusiveBloodRayne: Betrayaldeveloper diary, WayForward talks about the design of Rayne, and how they went for “slinkier and sexier” as opposed to the over “sleaze” of previous games. While she’s still as sultry as ever, Rayne is a little more modest this time around. Some fans may be disappointed by the reduced buster size and less revealing clothing, but what are you gonna do? The game looks turbo hot regardless of Rayne’s jubblies, and that’s what really matters....
It’s not all of the time that box art is cause for a front page post. But there are a few things at play here with thisF.E.A.R. 3box art. For one, it seems there’s notthat muchgoing on today in terms of gaming news and culture. We post upwards of 60 stories a day here, so trust me when I say that this is a difficult cycle to keep up with. But more importantly, it cements the fact that Warner Bros....

You thought we reached a new low with thatSpongebob SquarepantsRock BandDLC story? Hah. Hahaha. Hahahahaha. Oh, no. We haven’t evenbegunto go low.Monopolyhas been addedto the Xbox 360 Games on Demand line-up, for — get this — $29.99.

Less than two weeks ago, I reviewedG.G Series Ninja Karakuri Den, a two-dollar microgame that is part of a Japanese series of budget downloadables. It was a decent game that could have used a little more zest, which is why I’m pleased to discover that a sequel is on the way. From the trailer,Ninja Karakuri Den 2keeps the auto-jumping gameplay of the original and adds a couple new moves, enemies, and a female second character....
The folks at Microsoft made sure to point out thatFable IIIfor PC/Games for Windows was on the show floor here at CES 2011. It was as if they were saying,see, it really exists!I believed them, but I went and checked anyway. If you’re still in doubt, here’s a picture of one of the two demo stations they had set up in their booth. Of course, that picture doesn’t come with a release date of any kind....
