I lovedStarcraft, but I’m the sort of guy who put cheat codes in to get through all of the gameplay to see the story unfold. I’m not going to let a little thing like a lack of tactical skill to get in the way of enjoying a fine Blizzard product. This video, therefore, is ideal for someone like me. It’s a bunch of cinematic clips with voice-over narration. It’s working its magic on getting me hyped to know what’s next for Jim Raynor....
GameTrailers member gaffyh created this 3D rendering of a new, more compact Nintendo DS Lite. It was modeled and animated from a concept created byNick Lowe.The DS Lite was already pretty compact, but this concept makes it collapsible, with the “sides” sliding in over the two screens after the top screen has been flipped down.Every detail seems to be covered; there’s even a hole on the top of the left side that leaves the power port accessible after the system is collapsed....

David Jaffe hasjoined Bethesda’s Todd Howardin admitting that $60 is a significant investment for gamers to make. However, just like Howard, he’s also decided that his ownTwisted Metalprovides enough to justify the asking price. “Sixty bucks is a SH*T TON to ask for so if we are going to charge that, you deserve our best … even if it takes a little longer than we anticipated,” he said. “Also hitting smack dab in mid Nov/Mid Dec is a bad time to release this game (although that was not the reason we delayed AT ALL … we WANTED to be out in Oct) … but the extra time gives us more time to balance weapons, tune vehicle handling, tune the EXP progression for levelling up, etc....
What can one say about John Woo’s Stranglehold? We could say that the demo was awesome. We could also say that Midway should have just released the demo at retail and charged two bucks for it, rather than stretch it out into a full game and failing. Nevertheless, aStrangleholdmovie is still on the cards, and Woo has stated that another game may arrive. “We are going to make that into a movie,”confirms the director....
Speaking withMTV Multiplayer, Sony’s Scott Steinberg has confirmed that a demo forKillzone 2will hit the PlayStation Network on February 26. Yes, that’s one day before the game’s February 27 release.Of course, if you’re not patient, you could always reserve the game. Retailers like GameStop are offering earlier demo access to those who pre-order. So ask yourself, what’s it worth to you? GameStop only requires a five-dollar deposit, which is fully refundable (if you’re able to deal with a potential barrage of questions upon reservation cancellation)....
Don’t kick your Wii into a ravine just yet, folks! Nintendo may have completely forgotten the thing exists in North America for most of 2011, but there’s a little bit of life left in the old girl yet. Some of that life is being provided byKirby’s Return to Dream Land, and here are some new pictures. In addition to the screens, some cute Japanese box art has also been revealed, and it’s all typically bright and cheerful....
Konami has released an unlucky 13 new screenshots for the nextSilent Hilltitle, therecently christenedSilent Hill: Homecoming. They feature everything you’d expect — fog, gaunt weirdos with sunken cheeks, a creepy playground, a monster coming out of the ground. Yup, definitelySilent Hill. As some of you may know, the series has been handed over to California-based developer The Collective. It’s unfortunate that their body of work is so spotty, consisting mostly of television and film licensed titles, including theDirty Harrygame which will never see the light of day....
The popular image of Kotick is that of a man who fired Infinity Ward founders Jason West and Vince Zampella in order to rape the company dry, but the rust-dusted nightmare rider says he was the one betrayed. In fact, as Kotick relays his side of the story, one could almost think he were human. “It shook my belief in two specific people, who were my friends,” says Kotick, who says the IW founders used Activision for personal gain....
The excellentLara Croft and the Guardian of Lighthas online cooperative play for Xbox 360, and as of now, so does the PlayStation 3 version. Developer Crystal Dynamicstweetedthat the latest title update is now live, enabling the functionality that really should have been there in the first place. Co-op does makeGuardian of Lightsignificantly more entertaining, but that’s not to say playing alone isn’t worth doing if there’s no alternative. If you were holding out for this patch, get to downloading....
The whole idea of Xbox Live Microsoft Points is arbitrary in and of itself, but when you get the publisher making up different pretend prices for the same DLC, the whole scenario becomes blatant in its ridiculousness. This is the case withLips, where Microsoft likes to charge different amounts for songs, without explaining why. Sometimes downloadable songs are 160 Points, sometimes they’re 180 Points. Microsoft has thus far given no explanation for its seemingly random price structure, and apparently, it doesn’t intend to....
