It looks like Epic’s Cliff Bleszinski was more than just three days off when he told Jimmy Fallon on national TV that Gears of War 3 was hitting on April 8. The next day Microsoft shifted the date a bit, saying the game would actually be hitting on April 5, 2011. Today the publisher is…

I am to be congratulated, it seems. I am one of just 300 people in the country to receive a Halo: Reach Honor the Code kit in the mail… courtesy of Mountain Dew and Doritos. What’s that entail, you might ask? Why six Halo: Reach-themed Mountain Dew drinks and two packs of Doritos stuffed into…

Wow, today has been a crazy day for gamers. It kicked off in the whee hours of the morning with an absurd amount of 3DS news coming out of Japan from Nintendo. Then we had confirmation of zombies, yes zombies, in Black Ops. And finally we had an embargo lift on the Xbox 360’s new…
Being the parent of a 9-year-old boy and a gamer, I’m a huge fan of parental settings. I love the fact that all of my consoles are a bazillion times more robust in helping me parent than are TVs or movie theaters. And the Xbox Live dashboard update coming in November adds quite a bit…
Sure, the new look for the Kinect-compatible Xbox 360 avatars isn’t that different than the old look, but there is a certain je ne sais quoi. Here’s a not too quick video of the old and new look of the new Xbox 360 avatars due to hit with the November dash update… alright it’s like…

Remember how Nintendo screwed everyone with a DSi over who either bought a new DSi or moved over to the DSi XL? No. Let me refresh your memory. Turns out that all of those digital games you purchased were tied not to your bank account, or the hard earned money you spent to get the…
To: Ash From: Crecente Re: I Think The Child Has Become Attached Stupid Minecraft. I’ve been trying to play it both online and off for the past week with no luck. Looks like I’m going to have to break out a laptop to give it a try. The thing is, I’m sort of worried that…
