Developer Ludia is bringing the classic game showFamily Feudto PlayStation Network today as a downloadable title, and not a minute too late. I was about to pawn my PlayStation 3 for board game money! It’s basically what it sounds like it is, a digital recreation of the television show which has contestants guessing survey results in teams, generally with their families.Family Feudon PSN offers two multiplayer modes, both offline and online....
Confirming information that wasbetrayed by job listingsa few weeks ago, Take-Two Interactive has announced the formation of 2K Marin. Based out of Novato, California, the studio is set to develop original intellectual property, in addition to helping co-develop products with other 2K studios. “We’re focused on continuing to bring new brands and cutting-edge gameplay to market with the creation of 2K Marin studio,” said 2K President Christoph Harmann in a press release issued today....

In addition to the Medic finally getting his own “Meet the” video, day one — otherwise known asMobster Monday— revealed some of what’s in store with this update: expanded gear for both the Heavy and the Spy, plus a Payload map dubbed Barn Blitz. As per usual, Valve will be dishing out more secrets leading up to Thursday....
Out of all the games I got a chance to see atEIEIO,Sabotagewas by farmy favorite gameof the bunch. It’s very fresh for a World War II based game and absolutely beautiful in graphics and the art direction.The trailer for the game doesn’t show a whole lot, but I can tell you that everything you see is in game graphics, none of it isCGIcut scenes. From what it seems like, the trailer here is keeping up with the theme of the entire game being a flashback....
Based on most of the reader comments to previousBand Herostories, I already have a good idea of what you guys think of this game. You don’t know why it exists or how it’s different thanGuitar Hero 5, and all of this top-40 popular music is crap. You don’t understand why the songs couldn’t have just been released as downloadable content forGuitar Hero 5; even if they were, you wouldn’t buy them anyhow because, like you said, they’re crap....
It somehow escaped my attention that Atlus was publishing aviolent hack n’ slash gameset during the Crusades. Since I love brutality, hack n’ slash games,andthe Crusades, this game is exactly appropriate for a man of my interests. This brand new trailer forThe Cursed Crusadeseems to indicate that it’s going to be pretty damn cool, too. Lots of intense combat, an interesting setting, plus plenty of fire and brimstone. It ticks all my boxes, so I’m adding this to my special list of “games that are easy to forget so I better try extra hard to remember them....

Did you know that the list of items in the famous 12 Days of Christmas carol are actually major symbols of Christianity? It’s true! “My true love” really represents the Christian God, and all the strange things like turtle doves and milking maids represent the stuff Christians believe he gave to them. I wanted to do a cutesy 12 days of gamer Christmas post until the above factoid made me think about the subject with a bit more seriousness....
You know what’s awesome? Putting out a full widescreen, HD video one week and then having to revert back to a crappy format because you’re capturing from an emulator. I had intended a PS3 game this week, but since that would involve Sony, things got complicated and I had to postpone it. Luckily, this meant I could bump up a video I had planned for a while and I believe it turned out quite well, if you can excuse the non-wide dimensions....
Somegameplay footage forDuke Nukem Foreverwas released over the weekend. The game looked great and I really hope that someone else steps up to complete the project. There’s no way ten years worth of work can just die out like that, can it? We got a look at the top ten Gaijin games in Japan, Jim wonders if bloggers should be more picky, Jaffe might be working on a newTwisted Metal, a new teaser forModern Warfare 2was released and plenty more happened over the weekend....
So,Resident Evil: Afterliferecently opened, and unsurprisingly, it made some serious bank. This is the world we live in, folks. “It’s the biggest movie in the franchise,” Milla Jovovich toldNew York Magazine, and it’s “the first one to ever open at No. 1 worldwide.” “So we’re definitely going to make another one,” she continued. “We’ve been talking to a lot of fans on Twitter and stuff, so it’s probably going to be one of the first movies where we really talk to fans to see what they want, and what characters they want to see....
After a prolonged back-and-forth session regardingBioShock 2PC getting downloadable content, 2K Games is finally sticking with May 31 as the day Minvera’s Den will become available to the platform. It’sreally happening, guys. 800 Microsoft Points ($10) is the price, as expected. Also unsurprisingly, you will have to buy the single-player add-on through Games for Windows live —BioShock 2does support the system, after all. I have yet to hear anything but recommendations for Minerva’s Den, and it’s been many months since the content first hit consoles....
By now, you may have already read my impressions ofSaints Row 2, or my verbal orgasm over Volition’s other title,Red Faction: Guerilla. At last night’s THQ Gamer’s Day that took place in San Francisco’s Terra event space, I had a chance to go hands on with these games and more. But here’s the thing — all of the information was embargoed until today at 5 pm PST, the exact time that the Internet goes home for the weekend....
