A demo forÂMajin and the Forsakan KingdomÂwas released on Xbox Live today, and having just played the thing, I’ve made it my mission to talk about it as much as possible. If you have not yet downloaded the demo, please do so. If you have a penchant for the irrepressibly charming, you won’t regret it. Should you lack access to the demo, or truly are lazy, then don’t worry. Simply read on for my Jimpressions of what I think will be the most criminally underrated game of the year....

If you’re a regular reader, you’ll know that I’ve been freaking the f*ck out over a new Nintendo DSsynthesizercalledKorg DS-10. It’s not a game; it’s a music making tool, and people areperforming live with it! I preordered this son of a bitch faster than you can say “band geek.” The veryimporterI preorderd this title with contacted me this morning with some interesting news. The price has been hiked up a bit, from $48....

La-Mulanais the long suffering,indie PC game that’s been on it’s way to WiiWarefor over a year now. It promises to give the player a “Mickey Mouse Vs. Terminator” experience. Therefore, I want it. I was beginning to doubt that the game would ever make it to WiiWare, what with all the terrifying disasters that Japan has suffered this year, and the effect those disasters have had on the country’s game developers....

The first epic lulzer that you’re about to watch is calledTerry Yum Goongand was just uploaded to Youtube a few hours ago. The clip is from the amazing fight scene fromThe ProtectorandKajetokunsimply added voice overs fromCapcom Vs SNK 2,Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolf,King of FightersAND Captain Falcon fromSmash Melee. Terry Yum Goong is in the same style asZeta PUNCH!but so much better. It’s amazing how just adding videogame audio clips to stuff makes everything better....

If theInternetisn’t the melting pot of lies that some would have you believe, then the guys over atiBricks.orghave something new to show us in the form of an exclusive screen shot of the game in action, as well as what appears to be some conceptual art of the upcoming MMO from the house thatRonaldLEGObuilt. I’ll let the guys over at iBrick describe it to you, since they did such a good job:...

Leland Yee, the California State Senator obsessed with violence in videogames, has issuedanother of his friendly warning lettersto parents, spreading the word about those evil, evil games and their prevalence during the holiday season. In a rather manipulative statement, Yee was able to insult the ESRB while absolving parents from any responsibility: It is vitally important that parents and grandparents consider the content in video games before making holiday purchases. Regrettably, the rating system alone cannot be trusted, so parents should also carefully watch the content included in all their children’s games....

Damn, that Mad Moxxie is one fine looking lady. I appreciate her cavalier attitude, lovely gams and the fact that she could kill me without a second thought. To say that I’m looking forward to the next installment of downloadable content forBorderlandsis like saying an astronaut with a crack in his helmet is looking forward to oxygen. Ineedthis and this trailer 2K has released isn’t helping none (which I realize is a double-negative but it just sounds so folksy that I can’t resist it and I figured you all would take my meaning)....

Act now and not only will we let you watch this video with gameplay footage from theCooking Mama: Cook offgame but we will also throw in the ability to make fun of the Majesco people as well. Does that sound good? Of course, it does....

Major “Gary Busey’s sexy brother” Nelson has been quite amused by Kevin Butler’srecent blunder. The fictional Sony executive posted the notoriousPS3 jailbreak codeon Twitter, seeming to not know what it was and making a joke aboutBattleshipco-ordinates. This prompted Nelson to make a little crack on Twitter: “Anyone up for a game of Battleship?” Short, sharp and with all the subtlety of a pedophile with a giant net, but it gets the job done, yes?...

Steals other developers’ powers before leaving After some 23 years, Capcom’s Keiji Inafune has decided to leave the company. Inafune is best known for designing the popularMega Mancharacter, as well as heading up titles likeOnimushaandDead Rising. Â Most recently he was kind of a big deal over at Capcom as the head of “Research and Development and Online Business and Global Head of Production.” Maybe he got tired of saying all of that when people asked him what he did....

The future sucks. Everything is so streamlined and shiny looking. What happened to wood panelling? Wood panelling was awesome and made everything look high class. But no, once we leave the 1970s everyone starts making things out of shiny metals or glass or other “modern” stuff. I spit on shiny metal, and so does graphic designer Alex Varanese who decided he’d take today’s technology and retro-fit it for around 30 years ago....

Infinity Ward has announced that a brand new security patch forModern Warfare 2is currently in QA and prepped to launch on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. The game is still heavily played, but the PS3 version has especially fallen foul of scumbag cheaters. IW is on the warpath, naturally. “The latest patch forModern Warfare 2has finished production and is now going through internal quality assurance. This new title update will address security issues that have affected online play,” said community manager Robert Bowling....
