Here is Your X-Men Origins Wolverine in 3D

Brian Crecente — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 18:00:00 EST

Who needs screen shots when you have 3D SCREENSHOTS! X-Men Origins: Wolverine, is apparently so cool it can't fit into just two Ds, so Activision dropped this interactive screenshot on us. Super-cool 3D effect aside, this really doesn't give me much to see in the way of the game. More »

Christmas In Azeroth Updates For BC

Mike Fahey — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 12:20:27 EST

It's almost time for the Feast of Winter Veil in the World of Warcraft, Azeroth's annual Christmas party that features holiday-themed quests and items to help players pretend they are actually celebrating the season and not just sitting in a chair in their underwear! This year marks the first post-Burning Crusade feast, and Blizzard has updated the event to make sure players hanging out beyond the Dark Portal get their daily dose of holiday cheer. Changes include Preserved Holly, the special item that transforms your mount into a reindeer, now working with flying mounts, a new Mechanotoy pet under the Winter Veil trees in Orgrimmar and Ironforge, and a Handful of Snowflakes item that makes it snow over your head. Huzzah! They've also added holiday bosses to several of the Burning Crusade instances, which are basically normal bosses wearing festive outfits that drop Santa Claus hats when defeated, which will be ninja looted by the damn hunter, who will then disconnect. Happy holidays! More »

Devil May Cry 4 Demo In Early 08

Mike Fahey — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 10:00:33 EST

Eager to slip on Nero's tight leather pants and kick some demon ass? Your salvation is in sight, as Capcom announces the playable demo for Devil May Cry 4 is coming to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in early 2008. Instead of just giving you a quick level to play through, the demo will be more of a sampler platter of DMC 4 that showcases several of the game's locations and play mechanics, giving you a much more complete picture of the game. Along with the demo announcement (you had us at Devil May Cry 4 demo), Capcom has unleashed a horde of new screenshots featuring Nero battling the one-winged ~~angel~~ Dark Knight boss and our old pal Dante unleashing the power of his glowy red Lucifer weapon. He wasn't even supposed to be here today! More »

Overly Influenced SimCity Socities Screens

Mike Fahey — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 11:20:19 EDT

I am completely with Crecente, who in his impressions of SimyCity Societies at E3 mentioned having grown a bit bored with the SimCity formula over the years. Societal influences that change the way your city develops is just what the franchise doctor called for. Between the intriguing concept and this set of amazingly detailed city scenes highlighting the difference those influences make, I'm excited about a SimCity title for the first time in years. More »

Spider-Man Battle for New York Screens

Brian Crecente — Thu, 20 Jul 2006 22:02:27 EDT

Looks like Activision has been busy at Comic-Con. Here's a batch of new screens for Spider-Man Battle for New York. I like the art, but I'm not so sure about that interface. I sure hope you aren't required to poke at the touch screen to Blam! Wap! and Crrrunch! the bad guys. That would totally suck. More »

Konami's First Wii Title

Brian Crecente — Fri, 28 Apr 2006 16:00:59 EDT

Elebits will be Konami's first Wii title. The critters of the game look like Pikmin and apparently serve as a fuel source for the world in which you play. Sounds a little evil. More »
