Men of War: Red Tideis the stand-alone expansion to the original Men of War for the PC. The expansion will introduce a new story, new units, new upgrades, new weapons and there will be over 20 missions for the player to experience what World War II felt like for the billionth time. There’s a lot of ways to bring the pain to the enemy inRed Tide, but by now, I’m so tired of the World War II setting....
Having found a home on the both the PC and PlayStation 3 late last year, we’ve been hearing promises ofUnreal Tournament IIIcoming to the Xbox 360 for quite some time now. Yesterday, Midway and Epic announced that they will finally be shipping the title for Microsoft’s console this summer. In terms of modes and gameplay, there are no huge changes with the Xbox 360 release. It will still maintain the single-player campaign, as well as Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, and Warfare modes....
I believe the word I’m trying to come up with here is “expensive.” Needlessly expensive. Jimrecently gave usa preview of a single premiumModern Warfare 2Avatar outfit and already we have the full set of them to glance over. Or, if you’re really itching to burn Microsoft Points,buy them. Now admittedly, the miniature UAV is kind of cool. But you know what would have made it even cooler yet? If the silly virtual thing was a free Avatar Award obtainable by playingModern Warfare 2rather than a $3....
(Alright, so nobody died, but I wanted to see if I could getRobexcited enough to pee all over the floor.) In Nagoya, Japan (a country defined by its love for all things Nintendo),a man broke intothe local Bic Camera (an electronics retailer) and tried to make off with a Wiimote. When stopped by the guards, he used his years of training as a repressed nerd to bludgeon them savagely with the controller....
Let’s face it, the original N-Gage failed miserably. But that doesn’t seem to worry Nokia too much, because they are taking another crack at the handheld market in 2008 with the N-Gage 2. Fewdetails are available, but we do know that both EA Mobile and Gameloft have pledged to back up the system. At this point in time, I seriously doubt that Nokia will be very successful with their next N-Gage (PSP anyone?...
One ofMercenaries 2: World in Flames‘ achievements calls for players to hook up with a Pandemic developer in an online co-op session. Although the achievement spreads virally like an STD — if someone has played with a dev before, they can give it to others — I haven’t come across anyone with it yet. Luckily for completionists and anyone else who would enjoy adding another 50 points to their gamerscore, Pandemic has given out ten employee gamertags for you to harass from this Friday until September 12....
The folks over at 2K Sports have upped the ante in the cover athlete game once again. Last year’s well-receivedNBA 2K11surprisingly sported former minor league baseball player (and professional basketball player) Michael Jordan, on its cover. So how do you top that? How about adding two rival Hall of Famers with eight NBA Championships between them? The first run ofNBA 2K12for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 will offer three different cover athletes: Michael “His Airness” Jordan, Earvin “Magic” Johnson, and Larry “Legend” Bird....
If any PS3 owners were feeling a little jealous of the 360 getting access to the Netflix library of streaming video, this might perk them up a bit.PlayOnis a program which allows for viewing several forms of streaming web content (such as Hulu, CBS.com and YouTube) through a PC on to PS3 and 360 consoles. On Wednesday, the developer released an update which adds Netflix to their list of compatible services....
InAMY, the player character is infected by a mutating zombie virus that slowly takes over her body. Only by remaining near a mysterious child called Amy can she fight back the contamination. This new trailer for the promising downloadable game explores that dynamic. Although the main drive of the game is to not turn into a mindlessly violent monster, the video notes how remaining infected can have its benefits. There seems to be a balancing act in place, where you can keep your infection to avoid tough situations, but do so at the risk of getting too sick....

Flip on your Wii (ha!), head on over to the Wii Shop Channel, and under WiiWare, search “demo.” What you’ll see is five shiny new demos from the lovely folks at Nintendo. Their goal is to give gamers a taste of the games they’re hoping to sell you this holiday season, like demos were a new concept or something. Download demos of any or all of the following for ZERO Wii points:...
If you’re confused what you’re actually seeing in the pic above, check outthis linkof footage fromWario Land: Shake it!. Looks pretty cool so far … uh … what the … what just happened? Nintendo just got a little more clever, that’s what just happened (although how they can get any more clever, or any richer for that matter, is beyond me). This little spot of viral marketing will surely be memorable to most who see it, keeping the game fresh in their minds as “the one with that cool You Tube ad!...
