Dream Chronicles started out as a PC game, but now it’s coming to Xbox’s Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network by way of Hudson. It’s a surreal mystery dreamscape adventure game. That make any sense? It will when you see it. You play as Faye, who is out in a strange world to find her husband and escape a spell of sleeping that has been cast over the town of Wish....
Easy Studios’Battlefield Play4Freehas been available to everyone willing to give it a download as of this week. The free-to-play, pay-if-you-want PC game is currently in open beta. I figured I’d give it a spin, and spout off my general thoughts along the way. If you’ve ever touched aBattlefieldbefore, you’ll know what to expect. Teammates hogging the cooler (see: useful) vehicles, some dumb person who won’t stop honking his horn (and another guy who spends the whole matchcomplainingabout said honking), the standard classes, and lots of spotting enemy troops....
We talked about the announcement ofChocobo no Fushigi na Dungeon: Tokiwasure no Meikyuuway back in September 2007, where I performed the accurate amount of screaming in joyful anticipation and then went back to the daily grind of non-chocobo inhabited life. Since then the game has been released on the Japanese market, but there’s been no more word about a US version. Ahem, Square? What’s up with that? Some people need their fix, you know....
Japan, Japan. The land wherea man can throw worms about on a trainjust to see women scream and the penalty for a teacher cutting himself in front of his students is merely a slap on the wrist, it sounds like a wonderland for the weird. Take this item, which only be rightfully called a “fashion mask”. In case you don’t know, the Japanese often wear surgical masks during their commutes in order to avoid catching germs from others....

Those “five star ratings” that the officialKane & LynchWeb site used totry and trick visitorshave been removed. The attention that GameBump, NeoGAF, Destructoid and other sites gave this dirty tactic obviously had an effect on Eidos taking graphics down. Taking a look atGameBumpagain, they reveal a few more interesting details. Aside from an extremely snarky PR person trying to hopelessly defend the Web site’s stars, an admin from the Eidos forums decided to reply to a fan’s forum post about this whole situation on the misrepresentation with the star business:...

Without any irony I must say that I’m really excited to playBand Hero. Don’t laugh. While I’m listening to Dillinger Escape Plan’sCalculating Infinityright now, next up in the queue is Kelly Clarkson’sAll I Ever Wanted. While there’s no Clarkson inBand Hero(there should be — girl can sing!), I think you see where I’m going with this: I don’t hate on top 40 radio. So while some are turning up their noses atBand Hero, I’ll be the first in line to jump on the drums and pound away to Katrina & The Waves’ “Walking on Sunshine....
After a journey which has lasted nine months and seen the end of twenty-five games, tonightBacklogcomes to its conclusion. People used to joke thatFable III, the least popular game ever to appear in a round of voting would be the last game ever played on the show. And, as it turns out, they were right. It’s been a hell of a ride and I have had a tremendous amount of fun spending time with all of the people in our Twitch....

Our review copies of D3’sEat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazardhit our offices today, and I’ve been “tweeting” about the gamemore thanI hadexpected to. Does that mean it’s good? Does that mean it’s bad? You’ll have to wait for our review for that one (or ignore us and go buy it). Along with our review copies came a fake gaming magazine calledContinue?,which tries to perpetuate the whole “Matt Hazard as a classic videogame hero” marketing thing D3’s got going on....
Everybody knows that Hideo Kojima, genius that he is, shows signs of a mind that exists in another reality. Now there are promises that his latest baby,Metal Gear Solid 4, will have an intro that has never been attempted before and will never be attempted again.
