Starting December 1, you will be able to put your mixed martial arts knowledge to the test when the UFC on Xbox Live superman punches its way onto the dashboard. At its core, UFC on Xbox Live is just another way for MMA patrons to watch UFC pay-per-view events from the comfort of their couch....
Curious as to howPrince of Persia: Rival Swordswill play and look on the Wii? Well, here’s your answer mister question asker. Looks good? Bad? I can’t really tell. It looks as if someone smeared Vaseline all over the camera.
Yesterday,we ran an articleabout the listing of a PlayStation Portable version ofMotorStormon a U.K. videogame retailer’sWeb site. The listing allowed us to arrive to the conclusion that the popular Sony racer could be coming to the PSP. It seemed natural, and it felt good. Today, a Sony spokesperson toldVideoGamerthat theMostorStormlisting was a mistake. That’s it — end of show, folks. The spokesperson didn’t even think to tell anyone how excited he or she was about the current games listed for the PSP or about thePlayStation 3 versionof the game....
If all of those fancy words we wrote aboutMidnight Club Los Angeleswere too much for you too handle, maybe this new trailer might do it for you.It answers the burning question on everyone’s minds: What you here for? Uh, racing cars, man. Duh. The trailer shows off some fast cars, flashy interiors, and bits and piece of Los Angeles. There’s even a Pizza Hut in there if you look close enough, man....
Ok, so while the new bookThe Legend of Zelda and Philosophymay not be as serious as young Nietzsche once was, it does actually pose some thought-provoking questions about one of the most beloved videogame series of all time. From the Amazon.com description: With both young and adult gamers as loyal fans,The Legend of Zeldais one of the most beloved video game series ever created. The contributors to this volume consider the following questions and more: What is the nature of the gamer’s connection to Link?...
Teams of competing dwarves mine treasure for their king, while battling familiar monsters along the way. For such a videogame-y concept, you’d think more games would have explored this idea. As near as I can tell, though, the closest thing toDelve Deeperis a non-existent lovechild betweenDungeon KeeperandWorms. You take the room crafting of the former, the silly, turn-based nature of the latter, and present it in a (mostly) slick old-school aesthetic....

See that boring-looking mass of squiggles up there in the header image? If you happen to be a PlayStation 3 owner that got all huffy when Sony decided to excise backwards compatibility from the PS3 (I certainly did once my launch-model died), what it might represent may well be much more interesting! Put simply, it’s a patent diagram for what looks to be an external device designed to emulate the hardware functions of the original PlayStation 2....
We have never been quite sure that Gearbox’s upcoming Wii titleSamba De Amigowould include maracas like the Dreamcast version did. After all, the Wii Remote’s flexibility can definitely provide whatSambaneeds. Recently, though, a picture of the game’s box art has surfaced. As you may see, it proudly presents a maraca attachment for the Wii Remote.Kombofound the image in question atHMV‘s website. While we would love to say “maraca confirmed,” the disclaimer on the picture clearly states that the art is not final....
If you’re curious about whenGame Roomwill be getting some fresh new content, you aren’t alone. Over on theofficial Xbox forums, we’re given some clarification on the matter: new games are coming weekly, starting late next month. I’m not sure if this was widely known or not, but I certainly wasn’t aware. Either way, Boo-urns to that! To be completely fair — Boo-urns to being fair, too — the service only just launched, and it would make sense for Krome Studios to hold off on starting up the regular release schedule for a while....
Today Sega has revealed Garuda, a 2,668 pound android who has a pair of ginormous drills as weapons. He can also transform into a jet fighter. See for yourself in theinsanereveal trailer, which, by the way, quotes the Bed Intruder song. Anarchy Reignshas officially become one of my most anticipated titles of 2012. The game looks absolutely crazy and I can’t wait to beat the crap out of people with TWO GIANT DRILLS....
I don’t know what it was. Was it the price drop? Was it that people are just tired of the Wii now? Hell freezing? Something! Hardware:The NPD Group has just released their data, and that data says that the PS3 outsold…well, everything except the DS. Nothing outsells the DS About a half a million PS3 units were sold after its price drop and slim-izing. That’s double last year’s numbers. Software:Halo 3: ODSTwas the game of the month, selling over 1....
One of the reasons I was so excited for the release ofSonic 2on Xbox Live Arcade was the fact that 2 player co-op was touted as a feature. Yes, even though nobody would want to play as Tails because he’s a vile little gimp mutant, it was still a rather cool idea and would bring me back memories of my brother and I playing Sega together, long before he turned into a quasi-pedophillic psychopath....
