New Splatterhouse Screens Dripping With Gore
Namco Bandai unlocks the door to the Splatterhouse next year. Check out the latest screenshots to see what they’ve done with the place. Splatterhouse is a worrisome title. I tend to lose confidence in a game once the original development team is dropped from the project and then subsequently rehired piece-by-piece. The latest screens certainly…

Command & Conquer 4 Goes To Junktown
The Global Defense Initiative and the Brotherhood of Nod battle over Junktown in this latest set of screenshots from Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight. Why do you suppose they call it Junktown? I tried looking through the screenshots for some sort of clue, but there was too much junk in the way for me…

Grand Theft Auto IV Is On Demand
Xbox 360 owners no longer need to leave their homes to commit heinous crimes, as Grand Theft Auto IV joins the Games on Demand lineup at a price that’s actually rather reasonable. Now the mean streets of Liberty City are only a 7GB download and $29.99 away from the net-connected Xbox 360 owner. The $30…

DJ Hero’s Intro Slightly Larger-Than-Life
It’s only a couple of weeks until the release of DJ Hero, which judging by this intro video is a game about a dark future where truckers and punk kids destroy overpasses before partying. This is what you get when you give the developers of a music game a very large CG budget and let…

Why Sniper Rifles Aren’t Allowed In The Office
This random trailer for Army of Two: The 40th Day demonstrates why most modern-day office buildings have a strict anti-sniper rifle policy. I’m not quite sure about the message this trailer is trying to convey. Other than the fist bump, which is always enticing, I can’t see how this is supposed to make me crave…

Reminder: Gran Turismo 5 Is Still Pretty
Sure we won’t be able to play Gran Turismo 5 until sometime early next year, but we can look at it all we want with this latest batch of screens. As we’re fond of pointing out, all of these screens come from replay mode, where the game looks so amazingly realistic it could run over…

XBLA This Week: Axel & Pixel Meet Sam & Max
It’s Adventure Time on Xbox Live Arcade this week, when a boy and his dog meet up with a dog and his feral rabbit-looking thing. I completely approve of more adventure games on Xbox Live Arcade, even if one of those games is a collection of short, bite-sized Sam & Max adventures previously released on…

Here’s the pack shot for Cyberbike, the Nintendo Wii exercise game that comes with its very own, full-size exercise bike packed right in. The Cyberbike comes from European publisher Bigben Interactive, who generally deal more in video game accessories than they do full-fledged titles, and when you get right down to it, the Cyberbike contains…

New Dreamcast Game Gets A Deluxe Version
Just when we were sure Dreamcast games managed to dodge the trend of more expensive premium versions, redspotgames announces the Deluxe edition of it upcoming Dreamcast title, Rush Rush Rally Racing. Announced on the Dreamcast’s 10th anniversary, Rush Rush Rally Racing is a top-down racer that, in all fairness, looks rather primitive. Primitive as it…

Tyler Bates, the man behind the music for 300 and Watchmen is also the man behind the music for Army of Two: The 40th Day. See him talk about what he’s done.
