The newKid Icarustitle unveiled at E3 last month was the subject of much chatter around the show floor and I’m eager for more information to come out on it. Masahiro Sakurai spoke with GamesMaster magazine for an interview published in this week’s issue where he suggested that a competitive online mode may be in the cards for the game. Saying that the online capabilities of the new handheld were currently being tested, Sakurai seems to be keeping his options open....

Yep, we’re already on part three of theDark Soulsprologue series. Time sure does fly. I told myself I’d stop being the one to post these things, but this one has an army of dragons, and one of them gets its horn blown off by a lighting bolt. There was no turning it down, period. If you’ve missed out on the prior installments,click hereandthen here.
So it has come to this. Seemingly prepared to doanythingto revive the ailingTomb Raiderseries, it seems that Eidos will be introducing a brand new playable character with the upcomingTomb Raider: UnderworldDLC, introducing the first non-Lara Croft hero to the series for the first time in history. In a manner of speaking. This “new” character is actually a clone of Lara Croft, who has jumped the shark with “superior shadow powers, increased agility” and the “ability to slow time to unleash devastating melee combos”....
I love dragons, but have always thought they have gotten a bad rap. With movies likeDragonheartandEragon, dragons have been portrayed as annoying,sentimentalcreatures that, surprisingly, have a lot of things to say. I like my dragons mean, mute, and fiery, dammit! That’s why I was so excited about the upcoming PlayStation 3 game,Lair. I thought to myself, “it’s about time these glorious winged beasts got a chance to shine!” Nothin’ but love, Spyro....
Hey! A trailer! ForTwo Worlds II! Oh wait … well, anything is better than the first game. But seriously, I’ve seen what TopWare has done with the new game a few times and it’s going to be good. Five years have spanned between the two games and this new trailer shows off what’s gone on between the time you’ve missed. Some fcked up sht man. Also, enjoy the review quotes from the websites you’ve never heard of before!...
Despite having aMetacritic averageof 83,Ubisoft is upsetthatPrince of Persiadidn’t get more praise. The game did some new things, and signalled a change from the oldPoPtrilogy. Instant blowjobs expected! “For years we’ve all been reading complaints about sequels and companies churning out carbon copies of proven formulas without focusing on innovation or taking risks,”bitches producerBen Mattes. “Fans, developers and critics alike seemed ravenous for new ideas—new IPs; major innovations—advances in this art-tertainment form we all love....
Dead Space 2‘s hardest difficulty setting is unlocked upon the completion of single-player. Hard Core mode, as it’s appropriately dubbed, limits you to three saves.Only three. And when you die, you start back at your last checkpoint. F*ck! As demented as that sounds, it might just be worth for the unlock. I don’t want to ruin the surprise for anyone, but I will say that the item in question can go “bang bang”and“pew pew pew....
We’re still trying to get over the shock of thePS3actually getting the game first, but it would seem that the Xbox 360 version ofUnreal Tournament IIIis chugging along nicely for that rumored May release date. Mark Rein recently stopped by the Epicforumsto assure Xbox 360 owners that however painful it may be, the wait will be well worth it. He was shy on details, but pointed to Midway’s Gamers Day Event as the place where more information about the game would be revealed....
Despite how far video games have come in the past twenty years, nothing will change one of the industry’s biggest mainstays: the foot soldier. Whether your overarching goal is finding a gem, getting your girlfriend back, or saving the world, there will always be a nearly unlimited supply of expendable foot soldiers who take one or two hits to kill. These foot soldiers usually differ by species, name, appearance, and attack style....
We’ve all heard people say that Sony should have waited a year to launch the PS3 — and they’re right. The thing is, very few actually go intowhythis would have been a good move for Sony. At the time, Sony was focusing very heavily on the PSP, as the system was starting to gain a strong library of games that hasalmostconvinced me to buy one. Yet, everything else went on hold in order to go into full-on PS3 promotion mode....
GameCube enthusiasts will either be pleased or pissed to hear about the recent announcement of a white GameCube controller release coming in the latter half of April. Pleased because its pretty and because its a GameCube product, but pissed because its being released in Japan only so far. While it hasnt been announced outside Japan, it might be sold in America, depending on Nintendo’s desire to make money (translation: it’ll be here before you know it....
