The big thing right now is the Nintendo 3DS. Although it may be fun, it still doesn’t bring you the theatrical 3D experience of such film greats asPiranha 3DandFreddy’s Dead. However 3D hope is there for you, my gaming friends. I have played a few 3D titles on PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 and I have finally found the one that gave me a dorkgasm.Captain Americais here to save the day....
You might remember that a while agoI got rather excitedabout the prospect of aSin Citygame based upon Frank Miller’s original graphic novels. It was one of those deliciously frustrating announcements guaranteed to spin a comic fan’s mind off into all kinds of daydreamed “Best game evaaar!” possibilities, but with no real details announced, the crushing concrete reality was that it was really very much a case of “Could go either way”....
Analysts care not whether they fan the flames of fanboy rage, so it is that EEDAR haspublished research— seemingly for no other reason than to start sh*t — showing that PlayStation 3 games get the best ratings. According to the results, one in eight PS3 games get an average review rating of 85% or higher. The thing is, most reviewersare terrifiedto give a PS3 exclusive less than 85% because an army of deranged, sex-starved, blood-hungry Sony obsessives will hunt them down....
Early next month, a number of game tournaments will be held in Dallas, Texas for this year’sQuakeCon. As you would expect, there will beQuaketournaments, but this yearBrinkwill join the festivities as well. I was going to drop the quote fromSmash TV, but it’s too early for me to be that enthusiastic. Head to theofficial QuakeCon sitefor future updates.
This offer for the free download is good from today until May 21st, compliments of the fine people at Sprint. No, they’re not the one with the “network” and the douchebag with the glasses and the questions. Aswe’ve told you before, this title is pretty fun. It’s a multiplayer party fighter, kind of likeSmash Bros., but with less move spamming and more mindless fun. That’s right, Smashholes, I just called you out....
I know, I know — some of you are way too cool to step foot into an EB Games, but NeoGAF userMamesj is making a good case: theNinja Gaiden Dragon Swordsdemo. Available for download at EB Games/GameStop stores with Nintendo Wi-fi download spots, the short demo (about five minutes) gives you a good idea of what to expect when the game ships next February. I picked up the phone and called a few local shops in my area, and only one of the five was able to confirm that the demo was available, so your mileage may vary....
If you have a Wii and a desire to play a game that features a sword-wielding cowboy, then Ubisoft has the game for you. It’s calledRed Steel 2. And yeah, war has changed. The June issue ofNintendo Power has the scoop on the game’s apparent overhaul. We haven’t seen the magazine yet, butJoystiqmanaged to pull two interesting details (and images) from it. The first is the obvious Wild West flair Ubisoft is shooting for....
It’s been rumored for a long time, and many gamers have clamored for such a mythical beast, but Nintendo president Reggie Fils-Aime has decided to play dream killer and put paid to any fantasies about a Wii HD. Raining on our barbecue, the steak n’ kidney executive has said that there isnohi-definition Wii, and that it only exists in analyst Michael Pachter’s head. “Michael [Pachter] continues to be the only one who believes this is going to happen,” Reggie states onGTTV....
In case you hadn’t heard,Roogoois undoubtedly one of the most overlooked, yet incredibly fun and addictive puzzle games out on Xbox LIVE Arcade. It was announced today that the game will be making an appearance on both the Wii and DS sometime this winter, along with a slew of exclusive features. Both versions ofRoogoowill obviously take advantage of each system’s unique controls, but even cooler is the ability to play the Wii version ofRoogoowith your DS....
At E3 this year the Sony press conference hada bit of very good newsfor the company. The PS3 would play exclusive host to Rockstar’s upcoming gameAGENT. Those in attendance saw the word agent pop up on the screen and heard a few words about it being exclusive. That was pretty much it. Eventually we learned it was an action game (way to narrow it down) and that it took place in the realm of international spying during the the 1970s....
Admidcautionary talesfrom retailers and homeless men carrying cardboard signs decrying that the end is near for the HD-DVD format, comes news that Microsoft has already long since started work in-house on a standalone Blu-ray player for the 360. insiders at the big M claim that the unit could hit retail as early as May, and that the possibility exists we could even see a 360 withbuilt-inBlu-ray capability. Hearing that Sony may have managed to squeeze a successful format from the same womb that brought forth Betamax, MiniDisc and UMD is a bit like seeing Wile E....
I absolutely adore the rather flamboyant Tingle, and I have always been a big fan ofthe previous gameshe has starred in. Whetherthis new ad in Famitsuis poking fun at Tingle’s sexual preferences (the word above his head is “Fairy?”) or a real indicator of a new Tingle game coming our way is hard to say, but I’d bet it’s the latter. The ad also lists theJapanese Nintendo website, so keep your eyes trained on it — I’d expect to hear more on this coming very soon....
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyathas finally been announced, and yes, it does in fact involve a large-scale operation going horribly wrong, and revolves around you coming in to figure out why while trying not to get yourself killed. Taking place right after the ending moments ofShadow of Chernobyl,Call of Pripyatwill add things like a new interface, sleep functionality, more terrifying creatures, and additional characters. Y’know, the usual. See that, uh …thingup there?...
