Were you waiting until the last minute, trying to decide if you were going to go to PAX East or not? LOOK WHERE PROCRASTINATION HAS GOTTEN YOU. As of this afternoon, PAX East is entirely sold out. This means you’re able to’t get a badge to the show online, and that there will be no badges at the door. Sorry! If you were really looking forward to hanging out with Dtoid, though, you still can!...
RAGEPC players with AMD/ATI graphics cards can now download the“RAGECatalyst” driversin order to fix a number of horrendous issues with the game. As revealed yesterday, the PC port of id’s post-apocalyptic shooter has been running awfully on PCs, especially those with the aforementioned cards. “BE SURE to grab them immediately,” warned id Softwareon Twitter. That said, NVIDIA users aren’t free of hassle. Bethesda has said that those people need to ensure they’ve got theGeForce 285....
I don’t know if any of you have been paying attention, but VH1 has this show calledRock of Love, and it’s awesome. Essentially, it’sFlavor of Love, except instead of a bunch of tramps vying for Flavor Flav’s attention, a bunch of tramps try to woo Poison frontman, Bret Michaels. It’s a fantastic disaster to watch, and I highly recommend you go set your DVR immediately … but that’s not the point here....
A few hours ago,Portalfor the PC was updated, with the following as the only patch note: “Changed radio transmission frequency to comply with federal and state spectrum management regulations” In addition, a new achievement has appeared called “Transmission Received”, with no explanation of what it is or how to acquire it. The folks over atShacknewsdid some digging, and it appears that the patch added a whole bunch of new sound files to the game, all of which are just Morse Code....
If Tiger Woods isn’t doing it for you anymore, take note of O-Games’Johny Daly’s ProStrokeGolf. The publisher has announced that the Move-enabled title will hit PlayStation 3 on October 5 (that’s next week!) and Xbox 360 on October 19 without motion control support. The game is being developed by Gusto Games, designed as the “spiritual sequel toProStroke Golf: Tour Tour 2007.” If that means something to you, I guess you’re in for a treat....
Back in the prehistoric era known as 2005, Ubisoft revealed a new game at Sony’s 2005 E3 press conference. That game wasKilling Day. Just the other day I was thinking to myself, “what on Earth happened to that shooter with the really ugly guy in the trailer?” By spooky coincidence, it’s just been revealed that Ubisoft hasfiled a new trademarkfor that very same game. I didn’t even know the game was calledKilling Day, and it was a legit “holy sh*t” moment when I saw the above image and finally remembered the game I was trying to recall for the past week....
Uh oh. Sony may think it can charge whatever it wants for hardware and the people will come flocking, but the high price of the PSPgo, not to mention its digital-only game library, has irked a number of independant retailers in the UK, who now see no valid reason for them to bother stocking Sony’s latest portable. “From my point of view I’ve got to think, ‘Do I want to stock this?...
Your weapon is choice. That’s whatAlpha Protocolproudly declares in this spy RPG with more than a shade ofMass Effectabout it. Developed by the fine folk at Obsidian,Alpha Protocolhas been a most promising prospect since it was first revealed, and the mixture of choice-laden RPG with secret agent shenanigans made for quite the irresistible cocktail. Of course, having good ideas and having a good game are two different concepts that are rarely brought together, which leads us to the all important question — isAlpha Protocola choice worth making, or is it less James Bond and more Inspector Clouseau?...
It’s Sunday and there’s not a lot of news going on, but we need our pageviews, damn it. What’s a blogger to do when faced with such a quandary? That’s right, son — rumors, the savior of the blogger with a quota! Perhaps, dare I say, thegreatest thing mankind has ever achieved. Since Surfer Girl has retired and that notorious gossip CheapyD has stopped hisshamelessfantasy news articles, there is a gap in the market for a good rumor-monger....
I hate it when Nick Chester makes me do theRock BandDLC post. So anyway, here is some music and stuff from some musicians and stuff. You get music from Green Day, All-American Rejects and 30 Seconds to Mars this week. Good for you! The 30 Seconds to Mars song is that one inDragon Age: Originscommercials. Excitement abounds. Rubber Soul is also coming toThe Beatles: Rock Bandon December 15. Including such tracks as “Nowhere Man” and “In My Life,” it’ll be an easy download choice for fans of the game....
The poor PlayStation Portable. It just can’t catch a break — well other thanthat redesign everyone is buzzing about. It’s like the little engine that could, but it can’t quite make it to the top of that hill, even when it’s so close. Well someone just added another cart to the load the PSP is carrying.Rock Band Unplugged, a game that will move units without a doubt, has leaked on the net....
ACE Team’sRock of Agesis coming along quite nicely. Been a while since we chatted about the game. Publisher Atlus is still gunning for a “spring 2011” release (although the video itself says “summer”), which hopefully means this will be hitting PC, PlayStation Network, and Xbox Live Arcade sooner rather than later. In this latest trailer, we’re shownRock of Ages‘ different art styles.
Yes, you read that right. Rockstar Games, makers of theGrand Theft Autoseries — a franchise famed for its merciless parodies and satire —apparently complainedto Electronic Arts aboutThe Simpsons Gameand itsGrand Theft Scratchylevel. Game designer Greg Rizzer said that elements of the level had to be removed because of Rockstar, as surprising as that sounds: “I was always under the impression that when you do parody, it’s a sign of respect… If we make fun ofGrand Theft Auto, we’re not going to hurt the sales of Grand Theft Auto… But yeah, we’ve definitely had some reactions – we’ve had to pull stuff from the game”...
