I just got a new preview build ofRetro City Rampagea few days ago, and it’s so packed with new stuff, I can hardly believe it. Some of you may have written the game off as a “80’s kid” only affair, but you’d be wrong. The 80’s stuff is definitely in there, but the game also features appearances from modern day videogame characters, 1960’s television icons, 90’s cult movie heroes,funny looking videogame bloggers, and so much more....
As you heard this morning, EA’s Visceral Games is working ona game based onthe famous 19th century serial killer, Jack the Ripper. Our sources dropped hints about the title to us back in May, and now is a good as time as any to tell you what we’ve heard aboutThe Ripper. When you think of Jack the Ripper, you think of a psychopathic serial killer, right? Well, what if everything we knew about Jack was wrong?...
IfJoystiq’s sourcesare to be believed, Sony may be significantly upping the value of its PSP Mini titles. How does allowing you to play them right on your PlayStation 3 sound? Rumors have Sony enabling support for Minis on your PS3 as early as this holiday, with multiple sources confirming to Joystiq it will happen “before Christmas” or “this month.” Sony, of course, refused to comment throwing out the standard “We don’t comment on rumor or speculation....
One of the most requested features for the excellent first-person tower defense gameSanctumwas four player co-op. Today, Coffee Stain Studios is releasing an update today that will give fans exactly that. Between this new co-op mode, two new maps, co-op building, and the ability to “ping” locations on the map,Sanctumhas received a good amount of fresh content in the less-than-three months since it’s been released. The gameplay dynamic changed a lot between the existing single-player and co-op modes when I last played it, so this should give you and your friends a new way to play through all of it once more....
“This is where I was reborn,” Scorpion says in the opening of this latestMortal Kombattrailer. “This is where you will pay.” Who is he talking to? Everyone it appears, as the masked flame-spitting, spear-tossing maniac proceeds to kick the every loving s**t out of: Kung Lao, Nightwolf, Johnny Cage, Mileena, Kitana, and Reptile. Who’s next? Oh, and stick around until the end to see Kung Lao get his skull shattered and his ribs crushed down into his lungs....
When I first started my career as a writer, I had one goal — to be a videogaming journalist. I wanted to review games, specifically, for some major Web site like IGN or GameSpot. I wanted to write for magazines likeEdgeorGames(tm). Never in a million years did I think that, rather than being the straitlaced ace reporter of my mind’s projection, I would be writing satirical articles for an indie Web site that sports a big green robot for a mascot....
InSection 8’ssci-fi universe thing, dropping from an aircraft into the field of battle is an important maneuver. If you’ve read or watched anything about the upcoming FPS previously, chances are you probably knew that. “Burn in” is the game’s gimmick. But for all of you familiar, here are some things you might not know courtesy of the new developer diary for the game: weapon and armor loadouts can be switched on the fly or before missions, every soldier comes equipped with a jetpack, space marines eat rocks and hard plastic things instead of “wussy” food like bananas or grapes, and the “Burn in” mechanic was created as a way to avoid spawn camping....
If you are tired of seeing GameCube graphics on your Wii, it’s time to pick up those component cables. In fact, on my HD set, when I hook up the Wii through composite cables, some games actually look somewhere between N64 and PlayStation 2. Anyway, GameSpot has a nice littlecomparisonup of the drastic difference between the hook ups. If this isn’t the biggest selling point into a component investment, I don’t know what is....

Take a look, straight from the press release: SEGA ANNOUNCES FIVE NEW TITLES COMING TO Wii VIRTUAL CONSOLE Five Additional SEGA Genesis Classics Will Soon Be Available for Download on the Wii™ Shop Channel SAN FRANCISCO & LONDON (Jul 20, 2025) – SEGA® of America, Inc....
According tointergameonline, Sega Japan and Emaar Malls Group reached an agreement to put a Sega theme park inside the Dubai Mall. Dubbed “Sega Republic,” the theme park will be a two-level 76,000 square feet monstrosity of goodness. It is being modeled after Sega’s “Joypolis,” currently in operation in Tokyo. Sega Republic will feature three different sections called the Speed Zone, Sports Zone, and “a huge redemption zone.” My guess is that the redemption zone will not offer the type of salvation that instantly comes to my mind....

We haven’t had much corporate showboating for a while, so here’s Sony’s Peter Dille to set things right. The VP of marketing believes that his company is breathing down Microsoft’s neck, and it’s only a matter of time before the PS3 beats the Xbox 360 in terms of sales. “I’m confident we’ll be around in ten years and I can say that because we’ve done it twice. PS3 will be around in ten years and probably much longer than that,” boasts Dille....
Currently, Sony’sHomeis in open beta. The revolutionary dance party simulation gives players a chance to connect on an emotional level with a sickeningly diverse amount of lobbies catering to taste, atmosphere, and sensibility. The deep, soul-binding social connections forged through dance or chat is rather unexpected considering thegameis only in beta — a status that may not change to full release anytime soon. In a recent Kotaku video podcast (viaShacknews), Sony’s director ofHomeJack Buser made it quite clear that he was comfortable withHomebeing in open beta:...
