The seventh series of McFarlane’s Halo figures draws from four of the franchise’s games, three of its species, numerous gaudy colours and even a little Ninja Gaiden.

Enjoying that MAG beta, PS3 owners? Bet you are. You’re enjoying it so much that Sony have decided to extend the thing into early this week. No idea just how much longer that means, but those in the test may have realised that they could still play over the weekend. And will still be running…
Crysis goes Back to the Future. Together. No hoverboards or locomotives, sadly, but that is a fully-functioning DeLorean. And by fully, I mean fully. This may be the best thing you will ever see. DeLorean Time Machine [Crysis, thanks an1sh!]
Proving that the Modern Warfare 2 “boycott” was more hollow tantrum than actual boycott, Infinity Ward have revealed that the PC version of the game has been outselling its predecessor. “The PC version of Modern Warfare 2 has actually outsold the PC version of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare in it’s first week”, IW’s…
While Sony’s digital comics store for the PSP won’t be launching until next month, that hasn’t stopped the company from teaming with IDW to give away some free comics to tide you over. Free doesn’t need a store! The publisher is offering an issue of Star Trek: Year Four – The Enterprise Experiment, which you…
There are some out there who believe that during the recent wave of Xbox Live bannings, Microsoft kicked as many as one million people off their online service. It’s a belief Microsoft execs do not subscribe to. “We didn’t release the number”, Xbox Live GM Marc Whitten told VentureBeat. “I cannot explain to you why…
Has a year of uninspiring selections all but made you forget the Wii’s Virtual Console even existed? Understandable. Might want to buckle up, though, because three of the most-requested games for the service are finally making an appearance.

Nintendo’s vice president of corporate affairs, Denise Kaigler, has announced that she’ll be leaving the company after less than two years in the position.

To: Crecente From: Luke Reader Phillip was kind enough to send some photos in of the big do last night. Looked like a blast! Hope you kids all had a good time. Me, well, it hit 40 degrees here (over 100 American degrees) then rained dust. I know where I’d rather have been. Here’s what…

Japan’s King of Games – our second favourite outfitter of gaming shirts – will this week be adding some more good stuff to their line of Irem clothing.

Where last week’s PAL store update was as bleak as can be imagined, this week’s is certain to please, if only because it finally contains the re-release of Metal Gear Solid.

Denmark’s Children Exposed to Violence at Home is a group dedicated towards the prevention of domestic violence. It’s a noble cause! Pity their latest “ad” – a flash game involving woman-slapping – lacks the same nobility. We can see where they’re coming from; something akin to “No Russian” for the domestic violence scene. Make you…

In many places, should the unthinkable happen and a serious emergency arise, citizens are alerted via the TV and radio. How 20th century.
