  • The King of Fighters XII Coming July 28

    Both the Xbox 360 and PS3 version of The King of Fighters XII will be out July 28th. I really think they did an amazing job with the graphics, I like this style more then Street Fighter IV’s. More screenshots below…

  • Dragon Quest IX’s Japanese Launch

    I’ve always been curious what exactly goes on during a Dragon Quest launch in Japan. The game is kind of a big deal there. So big, in fact, that they only release them on Saturdays (instead of their normal Thursday launches), supposedly because everyone would skip school/work/etc. to play the game (I’m not sure if…

  • Battlefield 1943 Review

    If you’ve never played any of the PC Battlefield games from DICE (Digital Illusions Creative Entertainment), here’s the basics: Battlefield 1943 is a World War II-based shooter where you try to take out your enemies while capturing bases (control points), and defending those captured points from falling back into the enemies hands. Players can use…

  • Knights in the Nightmare – Crinkled Box Art

    I recently purchased a few Atlus games on the DS, one of which was Knights in the Nightmare. It came packed inside a cardboard box that held the actual plastic DS game case and a bonus CD. When I pulled out the plastic game case I noticed that the outside cover insert is completely damaged,…

  • New Mass Effect 2 Footage

    This new developer’s diary for Mass Effect 2 makes the game look pretty awesome (there are some minor spoilers, so beware). I like how I can just push people out of windows if they don’t answer my questions how I want them to be answered. Which is what I do in real life. What it…

  • Summer of Arcade 2009

    It’s summer again, and Microsoft has officially announced their second annual “Summer of Arcade.” Five major titles make up the list this year, and most of them seem pretty awesome. One new title is released each week starting July 22nd. July 22: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-shelled – 1200 Microsoft Points A…

Today we are announcing that Marvel vs. Capcom 2 will be available globally as part of Microsoft’ s “Summer of Arcade” through Xbox Live on Wednesday, July 29 for 1,200 Microsoft Points.

  • Battlefield 1943 is Now Available

    Battlefield 1943 is a totally radical online FPS set during WWII’s Pacific campaign. You basically fight in various large battles during the war. Players can choose to fight on foot or in a number of different vehicles (planes, tanks, ships, etc). I used to play a lot of 1942…a lot. I might have to get…

  • Help Atlus Name Some Game

    Atlus is bringing Kenka Bancho 3 (PSP) to North America, but they need a better name then that….and can’t decide on one on their own. Instead, their asking everyone to do their job for them. If you’d like to suggest something (you have to choose from a list of suggestions, kind of lame) then go…

  • Starcraft II’s Tech Trees

    I think I want to play as Terran, no other unit looks as radical as Thor. And now I know exactly what buildings I need to create them…6 months ahead of time. The Terran and Zerg trees are below…

  • Now Playing: 06/28/09

    I haven’t done a “Now Playing” in like a year and a half, so I figured “why not randomly do one today”. Yesterday, I upgraded to a DSi and have been playing a ton of PiCTOBiTS and BOXLIFE, as well as some Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswakers on XBLA. Gamestop had a pretty…

  • Magic The Gathering: Duels Of The Planeswalkers Review

    I used to play Magic the Gathering a long, long time ago…it’s one of my many dorky pastimes. When I saw that a Magic the Gathering game had come out on Xbox Live Arcade, I decided to give it a shot and see if the game was as fun as I remember. Overall, I was…
