When asked by a viewer if it was normal for adults to play videogames,Giffordresponded with one of the most intelligent and thought-provoking answers she has ever given in her career: “”No, that’s weird … Xbox.” Deutschagreed that it was unacceptable, adding, “No, the answer’s no....

Ninety Nine Nights IIwas revealed in 2008 and we’ve barely seen bloody trace of it since. Fortunately, however, the game has just been given a North American release date, and with it we’ve finally gotten a debut trailer and some decent screens for our trouble. The game will be hitting Western shelves this Spring, and the video above demonstrates that the poor man’sDynasty Warriorsis keeping up the tradition of bad voice acting, flamboyant clothing and over-the-top special moves....

Looks like Shawnimals’ Wee Ninjas are getting another shot at videogames! Ninjatown: Trees of Doom!has been announced for iPhone and iPod Touch, but it’s not a follow-up to the Ninjatown tower defense title. Instead, the “snack sized” game will have players moving a Wee Ninja up trees, dodging untouchable enemies, fireballs, and more. Sure, it would have been nice to get a follow-up (or at least a port) of the DS game that was unfortunately overlooked by some....

Nolan Northis everywhere these days. You can probably easily recognize for his roles Nathan Drake, fromUncharted, and Desmond Miles, fromAssassin’s Creed. He even voiced the defected turrets inPortal 2! Crazy, I know! But that’s all completely beside the point. We see him today in his live-action form, unboxing theveryawesomeUncharted 3Collector’s Edition. He cracked quite a few jokes throughout the entire thing, which, actually made me laugh pretty considerably. Now, on to what’s actually inside....

If Yu Suzuki is making anything, it had better be aShenmuegame. He knows we want it! But no. The latest word is that he’s working on an Xbox 360 fighter. A Kinect fighter. No, really. Suzuki has signed on as an advisor for Japanese devs Premium Agency (previously known for Naruto games) for the title, which would be the first fighter for Kinect to be controlled by movements. “I’ve been [interested in] the idea of integration of technology and entertainment faithfully as a game producer,” said Suzuki toDevelop....

To quote the organizers;...

We just missed nabbing the perfect Etsy item to send to a friend or love one that has gone through a recent tragic loss… of their Xbox 360. ThisBlinged Console Condolence Cardsports a hand-crafted “red ring” of red crystals on the front of the card, and the inside a message reads “”May this card help console you during this difficult time. I am very sorry for your loss.” The word “console” is silly/brilliant wordplay....

This morning I sat down with a copy ofKane & Lynch: Dead Men, the upcoming buddy-shooter from Eidos, and though I’ve always thought the premise of the title was the sort of hackneyed pabulum you’d get from a Michael Bay movie, I was pleasantly surprised by the actual gameplay. Hit the jump for the good news! Obviously, with a title like this, you’re going to be treading familiar ground as far as the actual controls and gameplay scheme of the thing....

In North America, the deliciously hilariousDeadly Premonitionis an Xbox 360 exclusive. However, that’s no reason for PS3 loyalists to miss out on all the hands-stuffed-in-mouth fun. The Japanese version of the game is available for both 360 and PS3. It’s calledRed Seeds Profileout there and the best part is that it’s in English! Now there is no excuse not to own this sublime game. Import a copy today, or if you already have an Xbox 360, track it down....

It’s increasingly looking like Sony Ericsson’s Android-powered “PlayStation Phone” is legit, despite the firm not revealing the device at this week’s Consumer Electronics Show. Why bother, though, when random folks from China can leak details for you? The latest comes from Chinese websiteIT169, which got its hands on the device, confirming a ton of details about the phone, its internal hardware, and a mysterious “PlayStation Pocket” software launcher. Branded as part of Sony Ericsson’s “Xperia” series, the device is powered by a Qualcomm Adreno 205 GPU, along with a 1GHZ Snapdragon processor....
