Create Your Own Tiny Dark Void Levels

Create, share, and play custom-made levels of a Dark Void-like flash game, with Capcom’s Jetpack Attack. Fly around, collect weapons, and shoot at things. It doesn’t get much more simple than that. Well, I suppose just standing and shooting, or simply standing, but that wouldn’t be fun, now would it? If that’s too simple for…

Yakuza 3 Heading Westward Next Year

After countless indications that a Western release was unlikely, Sega has announced that Yakuza 3 is making the trip to U.S. and European PlayStation 3 consoles early next year. Sega has been teasing us. Ryū ga Gotoku 3, the third game in Sega’s Yakuza series, has sold half a million copies in Japan since its…

Venetica’s Traiding And Training Trailer

Let’s see how many people hop directly to the comments section before watching the Venetica Traiding and Training developer diary! Can’t say I’m liking the frame rate in this video for Deck13 Interactive‘s action RPG, due out next year for the Xbox 360 and PC, but I like the way they spell.

Paradox Explores The Wild Console Frontier With Lead And Gold

Traditionally a PC game publisher, Paradox Interactive dons a cowboy hat and a pair of six-guns, moseying onto the console scene with Fatshark’s Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West, and we’ve got pictures to prove it. Lead and Gold first popped up in October, when developer Fatshark chummed the publishing waters with a…

Rockstar Makes Its iPhone Debut With Beaterator

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is on the way, but Timbaland’s music-generation program Beaterator leads the way as Rockstar’s first “game” on for the iPhone. Beaterator for the iPhone might not be as full-featured as the PlayStation Portable version, but then at $4.99 compared to $39.99, we wouldn’t expect it to be. Remix premade tunes…

Dead To Rights: Retribution – Puppy Power!

As this gameplay clip from Dead to Rights: Retribution shows, more games need the option to sic your dog on the bad guys. After watching this clip, I’m of the belief that games that don’t include dogs need to be redesigned in order to take advantage of today’s canine attack technology. Imagine how much more…

It’s A Chiptune Holiday!

Bloop and beep in the holidays with 8 Bit Weapon & ComputeHer’s It’s a Chiptune Holiday, an album filled with traditional holiday favorites, only better. 8 Bit Weapon is one of my favorite chiptune bands, using their arsenal of old computers, consoles, handhelds, and various electronic toys to craft some very impressive tunes. Their holiday…

The God Of Tetris Is A Vengeful God

College Humor is definitely onto something here in their Tetris God video. “There is no place for a square, milord!” Playing Tetris will never, ever be the same. Now we have a focus for our frustration and anger. I hope that actor is prepared to be punched in the face on a regular basis. Click…

Quantum Theory Goes Multiplatform

Tecmo’s PlayStation 3 third-person shooter Quantum Theory isn’t just for the PS3 anymore, now coming to North American Xbox 360 consoles as well this spring. No, that screenshot isn’t a PlayStation 3 owner’s head exploding at the loss of an exclusive title to the Xbox 360. Judging by the reaction to McWhertor’s hands-on with the…

Perfect Dark XBLA – Before And After

A trio of comparison shots show us just how far Perfect Dark’s graphics have traveled during their journey to Xbox Live Arcade. Rare has definitely been hard at work tightening up the graphics o level three. The split screen shot looks a little darker on Xbox Live Arcade, but sharper and darker is better than…

House Sets Up House On The iPhone

From the hit NBC FOX medical drama comes Hands-On Mobile’s House M.D. for the iPhone and iPod Touch. How does the intensity and excitement of differential diagnosis translate onto the iPhone? Like this, apparently. I have no idea what the hell is going on in this screenshot, but I’m interested in finding out. House M.D.…

“Must-have” Guinness Gamer’s Edition 2010 Coming In January

Apparently the 2010 Guinness World Records Gamer’s Edition is “a must-have for fans of gaming,” according to some gaming blog. The quote on the cover of the 2010 version of the Guinness World Records Gamer’s Edition actually comes from a post Crecente wrote earlier this year on the 2009 version of the book. The full…

Isaac Severs More Limbs In Dead Space 2

The Necromorph infection is spreading through space, and only one man can contain it. Issac Clarke returns in Dead Space 2, and this time he’s calling the shots. At least that’s what it says in EA’s official announcement, which comes hot on the heels of the teaser image that kept fans stumped for all of…

Mass Effect 2 Will Be Incredibly Emotionally Engaging

During a recent conference call about Mass Effect 2, BioWare CEO Dr. Ray Muzyka stressed the importance of emotional engagement in the game by mentioning the phrase “emotionally engaging” over and over again. The conference call was an odd one. Instead of asking questions directly, we either submitted them ahead of time or delivered them…
