  • Opoona, a “Lifestyle Role-Playing Game”, Coming to North America

    When I saw this trailer for Opoona I thought there was no way in hell it would ever make it to North America. It just didn’t seem like something that would sell big in the U.S. and I assumed the developers would think the same and not bother to release it here. I was awesomely…

  • Barkley Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden

    Finally, an RPG starring Charles Barkley. Set in 2041 (Barkley would be how old then?), in a post apocolyptic future where basketball has been outlawed, Barkley sets out to “escape from his past” and find a home for his son. If you can’t slam with the best, jam with the rest.

  • Pokemon Boss Battle in Brawl

    It seems like the only news lately is Brawl news, but most of it is pretty exciting. Basically, the video is just Starfox getting his ass kicked by a giant Pokemon. I don’t know the Pokemon’s name…Rayquaza? The amazing part, though, is that I have to confirm my age to watch this…which makes no sense…

  • Grand Theft Auto IV Wanted Posters In Brooklyn?

    I feel like I know where this is…but I guess that could be anywhere in Brooklyn, really. I haven’t seen any yet, but when I do I’m taking it for myself. I wonder if anyone who doesn’t know about Grand Theft Auto IV will really get these ads, and if they wouldn’t, what’s the point…

  • Classic Boss Battle Video

    I saw this the other day, bored, looking around at stuff. I thought it was pretty awesome, it brought back a lot of memories…so many radical games. Like, what the fuck kind of last boss is that in Starfox, seriously? At the time I didn’t really think about it, I was too caught up in…

  • Super Smash Bros. Brawl Japanese Trailer

    With the Japanese release only a few days, the trailer from Super Smash Bros. Brawl has leaked out. I thought this was pretty awesome and radical. Something about Pikachu and Samus fighting together made me happy.

  • Super Smash Bros. Demo Booth Videos

    So, some huge Super Smash Bros. fan in Japan has decided to video tape himself and others playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl matches at those demo kiosks in video game stores. He has a ton of videos up, and it’s pretty interesting to see the new gameplay elements. I love the subspace emissary footage, it…

  • No More Heroes Initial Impressions

    It’s been a big week for me in gaming. First, Advance Wars, now No More Heroes. I haven’t played the game nearly enough, but from the little bit I have played (just two bosses in), No More Heroes is very awesome. You play as Travis Touchdown who, after winning a beam katana (lightsaber) in an…

  • Super Mario Bros.: Ground Theme

    The Smash Bros. Dojo has two new recent posts up, one about a new stage for Brawl which is just a remake of World 1-1 in the original Super Mario Bros. It looks pretty cool, I’m suprised Nintendo hasn’t recreated the game before with updated graphics. They said the kingdom was been turned to ruins,…

  • Grand Theft Auto IV Release Date Announced

    Press releases are funny things. Like, I’m sitting here trying to think what I should add to this post to make it the least bit interesting…and I can’t think of anything. What more can I say? Rockstar Games announced that the release date is April 29, 2008 (PS3 and Xbox 360). That’s it, that’s the…

  • Team Ico’s Latest Project

    Sony updated the career’s page for Team Ico today, replacing sketches on the page with a new image, shown above. Could this be the first screenshot of Ico 3? Well, I guess it wouldn’t be Ico 3, but Shadow of the Colossus 2 or Ico 2…or some other title…whatever it doesn’t matter. Whatever it’s called,…

  • Devil May Cry 4 Demo Hits Thursday

    That’s right, this Thursday the playable demo for Devil May Cry 4 will be downloadable through both the Playstation Store and Xbox Live. Awesome, I can’t wait to play the game. All the details are below: Warm those broadband connections. The Devil May Cry® 4 playable demo hits both the PLAYSTATION®Store and Xbox LIVE® Marketplace…
