Gears 2 Map Pack Drops After Midnight
So, Spike TV was screening its rehearsals. Someone (not us) saw it and says tonight's big news for Gears 2 is a bit ... anticlimactic. Like, it's a map pack, available on XBLM at midnight.

Battle of the Rock Bands Tonight on SPIKE
Disturbed, Judas Priest and Cheap Trick (pictured) are challenging the top three user bands in the nation tonight on SPIKE TV's "30 Minutes to Midnight," the official countdown show for the launch of Rock Band 2. The three bands challenge the users to play their songs, among the hardest in the game, with other competitive twists. There will also be a guy who can finish a song playing all four instruments at once. If you're one of those people transfixed by watching others play this game really well, you might want to flip over. More » -
Kenka Bancho 3
Laser Eye Beam FIGHT
Developer Spike is back with another bosozoku adventure. That's right, Kenka Bancho 3 is coming to the PSP. The game, which features a high school gang leader who has a laser eye beam, looks like the PS2 titles that proceeded it. Man, I wish i had a laser eye beam in high school — heck, now even. The game features 2 player ad-hoc play and will be out this November in Japan. So there ya go. More »

Way Of The Samurai 3 Looks Budget-y
Spike's Way of the Samurai 3 looks a bit... hideous. That's a PlayStation 3 game you're looking at, folks, pretty much on par with Spike's graphical prowess as displayed in previous Way of the Samurai games for the PlayStation 2. It's certainly no Yakuza 3 KENZAN! So why are we excited? Because the Way of the Samurai series is fun way to waste an afternoon, even if it's a bit of an ugly duckling. The series has been getting worse and worse from the get go, but that doesn't mean we aren't hoping that some naive American publisher will pick it up and loose buckets of money on the thing so we can get our oddball samurai thrills.

How's This DS Doctor Game Different From That?
Two doctor series. Both from Japan. Trauma Center, you know and love. And Kenshuui Tendo Dokuta, well, that DS title you might not be familiar with. Retitled as "Lifesigns: Surgical, the game is coming to North American via publisher Dreamcatcher this June. The game's producer Jay Podilchuk explains how it's different from Trauma Center: More »

Sega's Appleseed Is A Cruddy Copy-Cat
Appleseed EX isn't only a poorly received PS2 game, it's a remade poorly received PS2 game. Developer Dream Factory produced a video game based on the manga/anime Appleseed for Sega. The game was released earlier this year to low Famitsu scores and low sales. A few years earlier, Dream Factory also created a game for Capcom and Spike called Crimson Tears. Japanese blog Ge-ma Teki Dash points out that the manner in which characters reload rocket launchers in both games is strikingly similar. What's more, the stats placement and the "combo" placement is the same (hit the jump for pic). Makes it seem as though Appleseed has been tossed together with left-over assets for different publishers. Real classy, Dream Factory. My question to insider folk and know-it-alls: Is this common?

Hooray! A DS Figure Skating Game
Lock up your daughters. Japanese developer Spike has answered all the little girls' prayers (you know who you are) and is releasing a figure skating game for the DS. Called Spinning Princess ~ Figure Sparkling Ice Angel, the game features mini-games, dream-boat guys, costume selecting and training. To pull off jumps, use the touch pen to draw large circles. For spins, rub it back and forth. Game goes on sale in Japan on March 15th. Me, I just shriek with glee. More »

Necro-Nesia Comes Stateside As Escape From Bug Island
Spike's Wii "survival horror" game, the one in which your character is armed with little more than a flashlight and a stick, has been hilariously renamed for its journey across the Pacific. What was once known as Necro-Nesia will now be known to Wii owners as Escape From Bug Island. If you aren't yet familiar with Necro-Nesia, it involves an island, infested with giant bugs, from which you must escape. More »

Spike VGAs Happen Tonight. Who's Going?
The Spike TV Video Game Awards are being filmed tonight, so who's going? Tickets were free, so you cheap-asses have no excuse for not being there. Well, I can understand if you don't live in the southern California area how that might be an obstacle, but c'mon. B and C-level celebrities, painful musical acts like 50 Cent and AFi, Samuel L. Jackson... it's going to be fun! More »

Mega 64 Takes On Resident Evil 4 Tonight
Staying in tonight? Yeah, me too. But if you have access to Spike TV (it's for men), tune into tonight's episode of "Game Head" to see the shamelessly entertaining Mega 64 crew take on Capcom's ultimate survival horror game, Resident Evil 4. I expect to see plenty of Ashley upskirt goodness, someone snacking on golden chicken eggs and hopefully very little in the way of jet skiing. More »
