Any PS3 owner cantell youthat the shiny black console is a dust magnet, but this is ridiculous! The Consumeristmanaged to get the of pictures of a PS3 console that was denied repair under the warranty due to its dusty state. Sony wanted $150 to brave the dust bunnies and filth. Apparently Sony originally wouldn’t release photos of the dirty system, but later determined that the pictures of the owner’s console are “neither confidential nor private,” and now The Consumerist has them to share with the gaming world....

Those who watched the Sony press conference yesterday were treated to a trailer forGod of War: Ghost of Sparta, Ready at Dawn’s next PlayStation Portable-bound Kratos adventure. In this thrilling trailer, we are shown our favorite white-and-red ass-kicker standing in the rain. Standing some more. Oh wait, he’s about to attac–no, no he’s not. Thankfully, we have some screenshots to go along with the video. Keeping with tradition, the images are significantly larger than what you’ll inevitably be seeing on your PSP....

Sure, the newMortal Kombattrailer makesit look like the game will be returning to it’s gory heritage. Of course, WB could very well pull aMK vs DCand not always show you the gore. Thankfully, we can be certain the series will be as brutal as ever as evidence by theMortal Kombatbanners lining the West Hall entrance of E3 2010 this year. As you’re able to see above, the words “Finish Him!” are displayed right next to some poor guy who’s getting his head ripped off clean....

Let’s be honest here — we all know that the ESA’s public image of late is not, shall we say,spectacular? However, when the organization brings out a politician todeliver a keynote speech, a politician that has publicly backed the preachings of a half-baked fundamental anti-semite … well, it’s not going to improvethe PR situation, is it? Minister John Hagee once controversially condemned non-Christians to Hell (as ya do) and went as far as to say that Adolf Hitler had been doing the work of The Lord by “hastening the desire of Jews to return to Israel in accordance with biblical prophecy....

Yesterday there were rumors thatEdge of Twilighthad beencanceled, and today we bring news that is kind of good and kind of bad. Fuzzyeyeshasstopped production of the awesome-looking steampunk game, but the news is not as grave as you might think — the game is postponed due to development issues, not canceled.

It’s been a while since I got to feature a lovely ESRB rating, so here’s one forDead Rising 2. That ever-so vigilant board of electronic software rating has cast a critical eye over Capcom’s upcoming zombie grinder, and has let us know that it contains chainsawed priests, chunks of human flesh, and skin tight leather. Sounds like my kind of party! This is an action-horror game in which players assume the role of Chuck Greene, an unwitting contestant on a “kill-or-be-killed” zombie game show....

[As originally posted onTomopop] I have to admit that while I do love myBioShockBig Daddy statuette that I got from 2K whenBioShock‘s Collector Edition was released, I’m not crazy about the bright gold and silver paint job — I’ve seen some peoplecustom them beautifully, and I keep meaning to do so myself. If you venture over 2K’s brand spanking newBioShockstore, you’ll find your Big Daddy can now have a Little Sister figurine as his companion....

Here’s the final act of our three part behind-the-scenes on the creation ofBraid.Part onefocused on Tim,part twoon devising the game’s enemies, and part three is, well, everything else I could get my hands on. Highlights include dinosaurs, the princess, a boss, and the knight. Probably my favorite thing about this weeks post is the picture Edmund McMillen (the artist behind this series) sent me of his wife, to show thatBraid‘s princess was based on the way she looked on their wedding day....
