http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=36578 I’m not big into RTS or MMOs because I think they’re a waste of time. Nicholas and VV used to hound me about joining WoW, but I refused every single time. AT E3, however, Relic/THQ opened up my eyes to something new and exciting, Dawn of War II. I was sort of tricked into thinking that it wasn’t an RTS because it wasn’t… → Read More
I may have been a little harsh on the Borderlands demo I was given at E3, but what do you expect when they show you Bioshock before hand? Anyway, here’s the trailer and it’s well put together, but most trailers are. We’ll be on the look out for gameplay footage and you can be the judge. → Read More
If you’ve been paying attention to our E3 coverage you’ll have noticed that most of the trailers we posted show actual in-game scenes along with perhaps something more compelling than still images of men in gas masks and Duke Nukem’s animated box art. If you’ve been following the Duke Nukem saga you’ll remember that the original game came out eleven years ago and a… → Read More
Oh yeah, baby. I’m going to beat this mother in one sitting no matter what. I’m really glad they went back to about the Mega Man 2 era in terms of skills and enemies since that’s the era I rock. I’m going to play some Mega Man tonight with “Eye of the Tiger” on in the background to get ready for this. → Read More

Here’s the quick rundown on this 20+ minute video. Rock Band guitars and drums will be compatible with GH:WT. Brand new guitar with a dedicated Star Power button. Longer strum bar. Slider bar on the neck that’s touch sensitive: tap strum and a wah-wah effect. Non-Guitar Hero guitars can be played up on the frets without actually strumming. Drums are precise and allows real drummers to just… → Read More

We really do love you guys. Update: It appears that the few minutes I missed at the beginning of my 2K briefing regarding Bioshock was about the PS3 version. Looks like… → Read More
We were as pumped as everyone else to see what was going on with Bungie, and their big countdown suggested it was both big and imminent. So we were just as disappointed when they were a no-show altogether. What’s up with that? Bungie posted yesterday: “For the last several months, we’ve been building toward a reveal of something exciting that Bungie is working on,” studio… → Read More
Activision chose not to participate in E3, but they still made their presence felt in LA by holding their own press conference off site. They covered a handful of titles that included Guitar Hero: World Tour (details on this coming later today), Quantum of Solace, Spider Man: Web of Shadows, Wolfenstein and Marvel Ultimate Alliance II: Fusion. Regard the latter, Activision gave a tiny tidbit… → Read More
iD Software is everywhere these days. At least it seems like they are. Anyway, Activision and iD showed off a new Wolfenstein trailer at E3 for all the major platforms. → Read More

A gory game like this for the… → Read More
Do you like to blow things up? Do you like to watch buildings come down? Then you probably bought into the hype of Red Faction 1 and 2, both of which promised a lot of that, and delivered, well, not as much as we’d have liked. Fortunately, Volition has been spending the last four years making the game that should have been made back in 2001. More screens and impressions inside. → Read More
I’m not sure what it is about E3, but I’m slowly getting the itch to play me some RPGs and RTSs, but more on the latter later. Let’s rap about the former and first up is Obsidian’s (They created Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic II The Sith Lords and Neverwinter Nights 2) Alpha Protocol, which is an RPG with a fair amount of action gameplay thrown in to keep you interested. It’s a… → Read More
As far as we know and to THQ Wireless’ knowledge we’re the first with any sort of footage for the upcoming release of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and here it is for all of you readers. It’s a very cool game and an ingenious way of using the touchscreen. The accelerometer is only used to switch gameplay from landscape to portrait at any time. It’s still a work in progress… → Read More
Hey folks. I know some of you have been looking forward to SC4, so here’s a rather lengthy video for you to watch when you have some time. I tried to get the Namco folks to show me everything possible, but they were being a bit sheepish about it, so I got what I could. Also, there’s gameplay footage of the Apprentice from the upcoming Force Unleashed as well as Vader’s fatality… → Read More
Ubisoft has got a hell of a lineup coming. And for once I am convinced of the necessity of having a headset to get the best out of a game — and believe me, with EndWar it’s a good thing. I also got to see the new Prince of Persia in action, and Far Cry 2 was in effect as well. Click below for shots and impressions. → Read More
We already posted about Nyko’s newest intercoolers for the PS3 and Xbox 360 and they’re pretty dope looking, so I just wanted to get some hands-on photos for you guys. The PS3 media hub that was announced the other week is clean, simple and sits flush with the system. You wouldn’t ever know it was an add-on attachment. Nyko makes great accessories that are economical and perfect… → Read More
I’m checking in from E3 and it’s been, well, a stressful morning. I’d like to say for the record that Peter can’t drive, and that rental cars should come with compasses standard. But more pressing is the gaming news going on here — you saw our coverage of the big Nintendo event this morning, which was sweet, and now we’re cruising around the (surprisingly calm)… → Read More
Here’s the official version of the Fallout 3 trailer that was shown during Microsoft’s press conference at E3 yesterday. Please enjoy with our compliments. → Read More
Bioshock This isn’t a press conference, but I’m hearing about a whole new slew of games from 2K. I missed the beginning of the Bioshock demo, but it looks like there will be DLC very soon. Challenge rooms are the hot new item where you can solve a series of puzzles to unlock trophies. The demo I saw required the player to help a little sister get off of a ferris wheel using telekinesis… → Read More
Update: Full press release for GTA: Chinatown Wars after the jump. Reggie says the Wii was never a fad. Imitation is just around the corner, he says. 10:07AM I think we’re wrapping up. Miyamoto is going to play the cowbell in the 4-player demo. They’re playing the Mario theme. Awesome. Will have video shortly. → Read More
I may have just fallen in love with my Xbox 360 all over again. Major Nelson has been sent a letter from Xbox LIVE’s general manager Marc Whitten outlining a few new features that’ll be released for the Xbox 360 console later this year. They are… → Read More
Oops! That’s all. We’ll set up a gallery with the shots in a second. New game is called Rage and it’s a combination “Action, exploration and driving” game, says John Carmack. Devin taking over. EA has teamed with id Software. 4:19 Left 4 Dead shipping…on PC and Xbox 360. Gameplay is different every time. “Director” dynamically changes atmosphere and… → Read More
We’re about to go live at EA’s big press conference here at E3, at the Orpheum Theater. They’ve got a ton of stuff lined up to show, I’m pretty sure, judging from the assets they gave us. Expect to hear some stuff about: Crysis:Warhead Left 4 Dead Mirror’s Edge NBA, NCAA, and NHL 09 Red Alert 3 Rock Band 2 Spore And many others as well as probably some accessories and… → Read More
No clue what it is, but we’ll find out on Wednesday. Devin and I think it’s Wednesday morning, but we could be wrong. We’re getting ready to head into the EA press conf. Feel free to correct us. Bungie → Read More
