Random Robot Intermission: Usher’s “Love in This Club” performed by the Showbiz Pizza Band. Via a phone call from an ecstatic Buck F1tches. The final part of a tool assisted run throughSuper Mario Bros.where every exploit is, um, exploited. Look for the first two parts on the YouTube profile page. IT guy Vs dumb employee. Doesn’t really have anything to do with gaming except that the IT guy is playingHalo: CEduring most of the call....

If you caught my preview last week for THQ’s newest fitness titleUFC Personal Trainerfor Kinect, you probably found yourself wondering whether or not this game lives up to the hype. While I can’t necessarily answer that question for you since everybody has different preferences, I can show you a video of me flailing my arms around like an idiot while pretending to know something about physical exercise. That’s just as good, right?...
White PS3 slim? Yeah,we knew that was coming. Originally we thought these 320GB HDD versions of the console were coming July 29th, accompanied by a smaller version as well (160GB HDD), but according toSony’s official website (ViaJoystiq), the white bundle is now coming to Japan on October 21st. SEXY. Priced at 34,980 yen ($410 U.S.), this version of the console has not been announced for North America, and in likelihood probably won’t be, which is a shame because I’d like to pet it suggestively and murmur sweet nothings....

First off, no, I did not get to use the Polar Bear attack. Anyway,Too Humanhas received lots and lots of attention over the years, but not much was being delivered. I was starting to believe thatToo Humanwould end up as vaporware, but as it turns out,Too Humanis finally coming out this August. So then, the big question on everyone’s mind: How wasToo Human? Was it total sex or was it just a “meh”?...
SoActivision is counter-suingJason West and Vincent Zampella. We’ve told you aboutEA’s snarky commentaryon the situation, but let’s get down to brass tacks. What the hell is going on here? Espionage, betrayal and backstabbing, that’s what! According to Activision’s new 23-page complaint, “West and Zampella’s misdeeds formed an unlawful pattern and practice of conduct that was designed to steal the [Infinity Ward] studio, which is one of Activision’s most valuable assets — at the expense of Activision and its shareholders and for their own personal financial gain....
I’m a huge fan of theParasite Evegames and oh-so-happy that a new one is on the way, even if it’s on the PSP. I’ve been keeping away from the plot up until this trailer, so not too sure what’s going on other than that Aya Brea can do what the Agents do inThe Matrix. The 3rd Birthdayis looking quite amazing. Loving the dark style the series has maintained here. I also like how Aya’s pants represent her health and get ripped to shreds the more damage she takes....
Rocksteady’s lead narrative designer Paul Crocker has recently been discussingBatman: Arkham Asylumwith VG247. Much like the rest of the world they liked the game andput the question to himof whether or not Rocksteady would be making a sequel. He responded with a statement that would normally get him the Captain Obvious award of the week, but in this case only receives a very confused look. “We’re just waiting to see if people like the game,” he said....
