Rage’s E3 Screens Bring Ol’ Blighty To The Wastelands
Rage to me feels like one of those sneaky games. Like Arkham Asylum, or Red Dead, where you’re mildly interested in it before it comes out, then when it’s out, it blows you away. I’ve got nothing to base that on, of course! It’s just a feeling, based on that fact this is id and…

The New Xbox 360 Won’t “Red Ring” [Update]
The “Red Ring Of Death”, the symbol of a catastrophic system failure that has become an icon of the 360’s lifetime, will soon be no more, as the new model of the console won’t display a ring of red lights. Deciding to take the opportunity for a clean break, Microsoft has not included any red…

Gran Turismo 5’s Cars vs Real Cars
There are two types of cars in Gran Turismo 5: “Standard”, of which there are over 800 available, and “Premium”, of which there are just over 200. The standard cars are nice, but the premium ones are amazing While the differentiation may sound like something you have to pay extra for, the premium cars are…

Amazon Prices Kinect At $149
While Microsoft has yet to release pricing details for the Kinect motion control camera, retailers are having no such hesitation, Amazon now joining GameStop in charging $149 for the device. This is still not official confirmation, of course, as it’s only a pre-order and pre-order prices can change, but when two of the biggest gaming…

It’s Ladies Night In These Fable III Screenshots
Swords and castles have been done to death in RPGs. So have spaceships. But tights, wigs, tricorn hats and muskets? That’s a bit fresher, especially given the slight whiff of Dickens emanating from those dim, cobblestone streets.

E3 Recap: Day Two
Yeah, we know. Day two wasn’t as big as day one. It never is! Just because it wasn’t as big, though, doesn’t mean it wasn’t big We still saw a ton of games. Wrote about a ton of games. And posted a ton of screenshots, photos and trailers from a lot of the games we…

Nintendo Says There’s No “Immediate Need” To Replace The Wii
Some people thought this would be the week Nintendo unveiled the successor to the Wii. It wasn’t. And while that day will inevitably come some day in the future, it doesn’t look like it’ll be any time soon. “I do not think that there is an immediate need to replace the Wii console”, Nintendo President…

Gears Of War 3 Screens Give Marcus Time To Check Out The Ladies
Just because Marcus Fenix has a neck of steel doesn’t mean he has a heart of steel. He is a man, and men have feelings. Which he may indulge from time to time, when he’s not busy chainsawing things.

Rumor: 3DS Allows Game Installs?
It’s a feature that wasn’t disclosed during the public unveiling of the Nintendo 3DS, but Japanese business newspaper Nikkei is reporting that the new handheld will allow users to install games on its onboard storage. According to the paper’s report, “multiple games” can be installed off their original cart, meaning users could stock up on…

Alice In Chains? Dubai? This Must Be The Spec Ops Trailer
If Spec Ops: The Line was a movie instead of a game, and had released this trailer in 1994 instead of 2010, with all that slo-mo and Alice in Chains, it would be just about the most awesome thing ever Since it’s not, though, we have to take it for what it is: a shooter…

Nintendo Might Go 3D With Next Console
In an interview with Japan’s Nikkei, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata has hinted that the company’s next home console may, like the freshly-unveiled 3DS, go 3D. “If you display a 3D image, the image quality becomes extremely bad, so we’d probably do it with the next system”, he said. “We’re thinking that the timing should be…

These Aren’t (Or Maybe Are) The Force Unleashed II Screens You’re Looking For
If you woke up as a clone of a man betrayed and killed, and were in a position to pick up a lightsaber and use it, would you? This guy is. The Force Unleashed II deftly side-steps the ending of the first game in just this manner, meaning you’re now back in (sort of) the…

Animal Crossing 3DS Screens Are Already In Debt To Tom Nook
I’m not sure whether this is an upcoming game or a technical demo, but…actually, it’s Animal Crossing, of course this will eventually show up on the Nintendo 3DS. Interesting, too, that despite appearing on a handheld it’s easily the best-looking Animal Crossing game to date. And is that a character redesign I see? They look…

Final Fantasy XIV, The E3 Trailer
Square Enix, don’t you ever change. Don’t change your trailers, either. You could blindfold me, punch me in the ear then hold me underwater and I’d still know this was Final Fantasy XIV, just from the soundtrack. Click to view
