Fight Night 4 Is Realistically Slimy

The new physics engine for EA’s Fight Night Round 4 brings you closer than ever to the true experience of having your head sliding against a large sweaty man’s armpit.

Eating The Story Of Prototype

Poor Alex Mercer. The Prototype antagonist wakes up in a morgue and has to eat people to regain his memories. Yum.

Lips Mics Will Work With Metallica, Rock Band 2

Microsoft’s nifty wireless microphones that were packed in with Lips just got a whole lot more useful, supporting Guitar Hero Metallica and soon Rock Band 2.
