As if you needed another reason to log in to PlayStation Network on Tuesday, here’s another: a demo for God of War: Ghost of Sparta will be available tomorrow. Yes, if you’re a PlayStation Plus member, you’ve already had access to it. And if you were lucky enough to get a code to download it, you’ve probably been enjoying it for a few weeks. But now, any person with a free PSN account can download the demo of Kratos’ upcoming PlayStation Portable adventure....

I am not a huge action figure collector, but if I ever see something that tickles my fancy I will usually snatch it up and display it in my office. Like, right now I am looking at a rather sassy Princess Peach and cuteDragon Questslime staring back at me from both sides of my computer. With that being said, oh how I wish the aboveGrim Fandangoaction figures were for sale. No offense to the ruler of the mushroom kingdom, but she wouldeasilybe banished to the back of the closet next to my dust-covered extra copy of Apples to Apples so I could proudly display these pristine models of Manny and Glottis....

I’m already sold on Nihilistic Software’s PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 action-adventure,Conan. The first video of the game made theGod of Warinfluence very clear, and I’m fine with that. But these new screenshots are really taking it into some not safe for work territory, and I’m all for it. Among the screenshots there are images of Conan releasing a completely nude female slave (sweet!), slicing a mans throat (radical!), and cutting off the arm of an enemy (totally killer!...

I am currently of two minds aboutPost Script, an exploration-based episodic mod forHalf-Life 2: Episode Two. you’re able to get the modhere. Mind number one says, “this is great — it’s an atmospheric exploration-based game where, not unlikeSmall Worlds, the player isn’t strung along with pointless trinkets or combat.” Mind number two wishes the text-based narrative were gone, or at least less on-the-nose, so the player would have to work harder to figure out exactly what each of the locations meant....

Webzen’s sci-fi MMOFPSHuxleyhas been in development since the Declaration of Independence was signed. This can be said without exaggeration. If you cast your mind back —wayback — you may recall having once heard of this free-to-play FPS with an MMO flavor. It might take some real mind raking, however. Now that you remember whatHuxleyis, you may now be told that thegame has been delayeduntil 2009. Nope, I wasn’t aware it was due to launch in the next two months either, but apparently it was....

Remember theCapcom countdown timerwe told you about earlier? Well, by my rough estimate, we have about an hour to go to see what the big reveal will be. What? You’re asking why I used the words “rough estimate?” That’s because it seems that theCapcom Unity Web siteis having some troubles. It may be that too manynerdsgaming enthusiasts are refreshing the page in an effort to find the news first. Way to spoil things, guys!...

Tippster kgetz3 sent us this screen grab (bigger version in the gallery) of the Message of the Day fromCall of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. As you may know,EA Chicago recently got shut downleaving 150 employees looking for a job. Most of the employees are getting moved around to different divisions of EA, but there’s probably quite a few who are completely out of a job. Well, Infinity Ward is more than happy to get some new blood....

One meeting room that was constantly packed this E3 was one belonging to Deep Silver, publishers ofDead Island, the zombie-infested survival game that took the Internet by storm following the launch of itsCG trailer. I try to get the low down onDead Islandas we talk story, living up to the hype, what makes this zombie game so special and the game mechanics. All this before my interviewee was pulled back into the booth to continue demoing until his fingers bled....

Monolith Studios surprised with the announcement ofF.E.A.R. 2: Reborn, a downloadable single-player expansion. Coinciding with the events of the game, the additional four-level campaign will give players control of Replica Soldier Foxtrot 813 after the disastrous nuclear blast. Monolith isn’t keen on giving details of 813’s motivations, but we have learned he’s something of a rogue. Something is driving him to rebel against Replica Command. Oh, the mystery. We recently had the opportunity to speak withF....

Ready to feel jealous?Have a lookat the official Nintendo Wii Virtual Console list for the lucky people over in Japan. Are you filled with an unstoppable jealous rage? Please tell me yes and express how much you want those damn games here. NES Games (500 Wii Points) Ikki: A short, snappy ninja action game from Sunsoft.* Ice Climber: The massively popular platform game.* Kid Icarus: Another classic platformer from Nintendo....

As I switched on my PS3 and waited for eight million years while the latestKillzone 2patch downloaded, I wasn’t expecting much. However, after using my elite sniping prowess to lead my Helghast brethren to another glorious failure, I noticed that the mission point rankings had been increased, and three brand new ranks were ready to be earned. Lo and behold,I check the Internetsto find that the patch has added new rewards....

According to Korean newspaperThe Dong-a IIbo(don’t laugh), the gamers of South Korea are disappointed with the first ever appearance of a South Korean World Warrior. It’s not so much a problem with Juri herself, but with her stage. Apparently it doesn’t look Korean enough. The South Korean stage inSuper Street Fighter IVis said to resemble China more than South Korea, or at least some crazy mixture of both countries. The clothing of the background characters and the writing on the street signs are both Chinese (although South Koreadoesuse Chinese writing)....

After viewing this trailer, one begins to understand why Volition decided to go with the nameRed Faction: Guerilla. Like mostRFgames, the protagonist is stationed on Mars. Unlike mostRFgames, he has a wicked huge hammer. Aside frombludgeoning random buildingsuntil they topple over, he’ll be using his hammer/pickaxe to fight against imperial imprisonment. Basically, the big bad Earth Defense Force has come to colonize (or bleed) Mars for all that the red planet is worth....
