Yeah, Ice-T Is In Gears Of War 3

Don’t call Ice-T a liar, because tonight it’s been confirmed that the rapper and TV cop will be playing the role of Griffin in Epic’s 2011 shooter. And it doesn’t get much more confirmed than that picture right there (and this Tweet right here), Ice-T and his lovely wife Coco snuggling up to the Gears…

Civilization V’s Trailer Is A Love Letter To PC Gamers

Oh boy. If Civilization V screenshots were enough to get you arranging for sick leave and divorce papers, you may not want to watch this trailer. Or, you may want to. Up to you! In addition to showing the nuts and bolts of the game – like menus (I have a fetish for menu shots…

Reminder: Our E3 Coverage Doesn’t Sleep

It may be the end of the day in Los Angeles, but our E3 coverage doesn’t care. It just continues, like a machine, and it will not stop until you are dead. Or at least informed! We’ve got plenty more news, impressions, thoughts, trailers and screenshots to come throughout the night, so if you can’t…

Debut Trailer For Kid Icarus: Uprising

First shown off yesterday, and probably the best-looking game from the initial 3DS lineup, here’s Kid Icarus: Uprising’s debut trailer. It looks fine blown up on a monitor, so in 3D, on the 3DS’ smaller screens, it’ll probably look fantastic Click to view

Gran Turismo 5 Hits The Top Gear Test Track

This is the E3 trailer for Gran Turismo 5. Or, as I call it, the “I might get this game just for the Top Gear test track” trailer. Since we’ve seen expensive cars drive around to awful music countless times in a GT trailer, you may as well skip to around the 58-second mark, where…

NBA Jam’s E3 Trailer

It’s not getting the attention of some of the louder games at the show, which is a shame, but boy, the closer NBA Jam gets to completion the better it looks. It’ll be out later this Fall for the Nintendo Wii. There are also rumours, hopes and dreams that it will also turn up eventually…

But How Will I Charge My PlayStation Move?

Why, with this official (though not necessary) PlayStation Move charger, of course. It’ll cost $30.

There Will Be No Medal Of Honor Beta This Week, Xbox 360 Owners

Tomorrow, select PS3 and PC owners will begin beta testing the new Medal of Honor. Xbox 360 owners, you’re going to have to wait until next week. Sorry! There’s been some kind of hiccup with the 360 version of the beta, and all EA can say is that “it is expected to be available next…

Resident Evil Also Shambling Onto The Nintendo 3DS

This is a weird one. Many 3DS “games” on the showroom floor show gameplay, but are just tech demos. This one shows nothing but cinematics, but is actually a proper game. Yes, Resident Evil: Revelations is a full game currently in development at Capcom, and…that’s all we know! Deduce what you want from the screenshots…

Metal Gear Solid Rising’s E3 Trailer: See How You Cut

This has been shown a couple of times now at E3, at Microsoft’s press conference as well as Konami’s. Now it’s your turn to see it. A slight warning: it’s not for the faint of heart, as Raiden’s sword is put to very good use.

Method Man, Redman And…Hair Man?

The pair had an on-stage performance to promote Def Jam Rapstar earlier today, but somebody had to get in a happy snap first.

It Appears North Korean Sanctions Have Not Had The Desired Effect

As seen on Boing-Boing

Professor Layton Is Trying To Figure Out The 3DS

Not to be left out of all the fun, Professor Layton and his little friend Luke will have their own 3DS game, tentatively called “Mask of Miracle”. These screens don’t do it justice, as we’d assume/hope that the puzzles would at least in some trivial way make use of the new handheld’s 3D capabilities.

Sony Reveals Surround Sound Accessory For The PS3

Yesterday Sony quietly – very quietly – revealed a brand new console accessory, one that hopes to bring “surround sound” to the PS3-owning masses. It’s called the Surround Sound System for the PlayStation 3. Catchy, we know. Priced at $199, and available in the Fall, it appears to be a standard “project single-speaker sound into…

Donkey Kong Country Returns In This E3 Trailer

Donkey Kong returns in Donkey Kong Country…Returns, for the Wii, and there’s not a plastic drum or Queen song in sight. DKCR is by Retro, the guys who did Metroid Prime, and features same-screen co-op for two players. It’ll be out this holiday season. Click to view

Oh Hello, Do You Have Some XCOM Screens For Us?

Whatever stage of grief “acceptance” is, that’s where I’m at regarding the new XCOM game. So it’s with acceptance that I can appreciate the good things in these new screenshots of the game. Like the alien design. So many games like to throw monsters at you, things with fangs and arms and legs, that it’s…

E3 Recap: Day One

Hello there, readers. Welcome to day two (or, depending on how you look at it, day three) of E3 2010. We’ve another big day ahead of us, but before we begin, let’s look back at what happened yesterday. I don’t think I’m overstating things when I say yesterday was a day of unexpected surprises. We…

Civilization V’s Screenshots Are Taking Over Our World

All the bombastic trailers, third-person shooters and celebrity actors in the world couldn’t stop this from being my most anticipated game of 2010. It’s clear just from these screenshots that the fifth Civilization is in no way dumbing itself down; indeed, the combination of all those buttons and a hexagonal-based screen has this looking more…

Mafia II’s E3 Trailer Does Not Challenge Stereotypes

I hope you like your Italian-American accents thick, kids, because this Mafia II trailer lays them on thick It’s authentic, I know, but I hope it doesn’t grate after 20 hours. It’s why Joe Pesci was always best in a supporting role.

Fallout MMO Now Accepting Beta Sign-Ups

After a long gestation period – and its fair share of legal woes – the Fallout massively multiplayer online game is now accepting sign-ups for beta testers. You want in? Then head to the site below, where you’ll be treated to a suitably-themed introduction sequence showing a few of the game’s locations and characters/enemies. I…
