Sony is so pleased with theGod of Warfranchise that they felt it necessary today to send word that they’ve already sold one million orders forGod of War 2… agamethat doesn’t come out until March 13! Check out the pat on the back: Just less than two weeks away from its PlayStation 2 release, God of War II has received top media review scores and fan anticipation, which has already spurred more than one million retail orders for the title, which launches March 13....

They say that every six minutes, somewhere around the world, a new videogame teaser site is born. Here’s Sony with the latest, promoting a new mystery game witha very weird page indeed. It’s mostly black, aside from white Japanese symbols in the center and an odd pixel face in the bottom right corner. The more you click on the face, the more its little mouth opens. Once it’s reached full capacity, the site will scream at you in a shrill, somewhat alarming manner....

First the really important news — you see that screen up there? It says thatSuper Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remixwill finally be hitting Xbox LIVE on November 26. But what are you looking at? Capcom has announced that its partnered with Microsoft to provide the first “branded experience,” with the Super Street Fighter Branded Destination on the New Xbox Experience.

The updated version complete with dates and pricing for all of the gamescan be found here. Many of you made it very clear yesterday thatTurtles in Timefeels overpriced, even if it is a remake, visually speaking....

It seems Nintendo will be taking a more simplified, classic approach to level navigation inSuper Mario Galaxy 2: unlike its predecessor, there won’t be a hub world. Game Informer reports that likeNew Super Mario Bros. Wiiand so many 2D Mario titles before it,SMG2is going the “world map” route. “We want players to focus on the joy of the action instead of getting to each game course,” said famed designer Shigeru Miyamoto....

Super Smash Bros Brawlis at the heart of a rather amazing phenomena, which I was witness to at the recentMiami NARP. When we got there to set up, there were some students playing Brawl in the room adjacent to us. This was around 11 am. As the day went on, I noticed the same gamers still glued to the screen. By ten pm that night, they hadn’t moved. ELEVEN HOURS ofSuper Smash Bros Brawl....

What a long and exhaustive week ofTeam Fortress 2happenings this has been. It’s finally come to a close, thankfully — the Soldiers got the most kills, winning a pair of boots in the process. If the Demomen would’ve pulled it off, well, they probably would have gotten the same boots, albeit slightly tweaked. The “War!” update is now officially good to go, as is theTF2free weekend. On top of that, the game has also beenpushed down intothe $10 range....

Okay, this may be one of the best teaser trailers I have ever seen for a video game. Who knew thatFrench peoplecould be so clever?With all the complaining I didyesterdayabout minigame collections on the Wii, I have to admit, the firstRayman Raving Rabbidsfor the Wii was pretty quality. All the games kept me entertained and, most importantly, they were genuinely funny. Seriously, try not to at least chuckle after having toslap a schoolboy rabbid in the facewith your Wiimote....

The console entries in theKingdom Heartsseries contain some fond memories for me (despite their flaws), but I’ve found the portable sequels to be a bit underwhelming. So much of the series’ appeal lays in exploring the world of Disney and characters of Square Enix — something that the limitations of the PSP and DS got in the way of. They just felt a little too miniature for their own good....

Flipping through today’s gallery of pictures from the show floor has definitely made me wish I was there, but the one shown above is definitely my favorite thing today.

Wow! TheGTA IVVideo Editor is pretty impressive. Maybe we’ll finally start seeing some good machinima videos other than all of the crazy stunt montages that have been making the rounds.

When you play a certain videogame series or genre, it is sometimes expected that you will encounter some form of memorable videogame moment. If you are playing aMetal Gear Solidgame, for instance, you know one of the boss battles will blow you away. When you play a JRPG with a spiky-haired protagonist, you know one of the story twists will either touch your heart or leave you confused and bewildered....

There’s a difference between looking like a moron and just being stupid.Uwe Bollhas crossed that line with his usual dignity and aplomb many a time, and each time I hope without reason it may be his last. In a recent interview onRed Eye with Greg Gutfeld on Fox News, Boll had the following to offer when asked how he deals with criticism of his films: “A lot of video games have no story....
