Nabi Studios Toribash for WiiWare looks amazingly violent, even if the combat is between a pair of plastic ragdolls made of elliptical shapes. It’s bright, beautiful and, as defined by its tagline, "violence perfected." The folks at Nabi Studios have begun showing off some recent development updates made to the WiiWare version of the title,…
Yesterday, members of the official Star Wars: The Old Republic asked developer BioWare to “rethink” its policy on filtering the words “gay” and “lesbian” from posts.

Namco Bandai has welcomed back the PSP as a platform, announcing today that it will be bringing Tekken 6 to Sony’s portable platform.

The newest issue of Nintendo Power gives Wii owners their first taste of Ubisoft’s sword-fighting sequel Red Steel 2. Looks like the game has taken a significant turn toward the Old West—at least in design. Snippets of the June issue of Nintendo Power are now available online, giving Red Steel fans a peek at the…
Xbox 360 Achievements are serious business. But obtaining that sweet Gamerscore nectar via nefarious means (like gamesave tampering) isn’t worth the effort, as shown by Microsoft’s sweeping smackdown on Gears of War 2 cheaters. Xbox Live’s Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb informed the community today that the company has zeroed out the Gamerscores of Gears of…
Turns out you can get video games removed from the internet. All you need to do is offend the sensibilities of three major religions, as Molleindustria’s online god fighting game Faith Fighter did. The Italian group of artists and programmers removed the 2D fighter from its web site today, following an official statement from the…
Last year, the Italian team of artists, designers and programmers known as Molleindustria released Faith Fighter, a 2D Flash-based brawler that pits God against Buddha, Jesus against Muhammed. Obviously, this upset some people. But not right away, as the Metro UK reveals that religious types of all faiths (or at least three people) are fuming…
While PlayStation Home may not have the power to immerse on par with Star Trek‘s holodeck technology, at least your PlayStation 3 avatar can look the part, thanks to free digital Starfleet uniforms. The uniforms are available to PlayStation Home users as part of a competition that will challenge those who take part in the…
The results of Time’s online poll to determine the “World’s Most Influential People in 2009,” as decided by the mouth-breathing internet, has ranked Nintendo game designer Shigeru Miyamoto as the world’s 42nd most influential person. That’s one spot behind pop star Miley Cyrus, which might sting a bit for Mr. Miyamoto, but many, many spots…
Today has been… weird. News of Mr. T and Will Wright fighting Nazis, the addition of farting attributes to Nobi Nobi Boy, and unicorns on ESPN.com make me seriously worry that I’m not yet awake. Thank goodness for new Need For Speed: Shift screen shots. There’s absolutely nothing confounding nor perplexing about them. It’s just…
Listen up, fools! ZootFly and Mr. T have formed a licensing A-Team, announcing that the developer will create a series of games “packed with the trademark over-the-top adrenaline-pumping action of Mr. T.” Don’t do drugs! ZootFly’s first game will pit the mohawked one against Nazis, obviously, bustin’ up the gigantic machines of the Third Reich…
Noby Noby Boy players will issue a welcoming cheer for the newest Boy to join the Keita Takahashi-designed PlayStation 3 game this week, the adorable Onara Boy. That’s “Fart Boy” to you. Version 1.1 of Noby Noby Boy adds four-Boy offline multiplayer to the mix, in addition to the brassy Fart Boy, as well as…
The addition of the Rare-designed Avatars in the New Xbox Experience hasn’t amounted to much beyond an increasingly expanding virtual wardrobe. But Microsoft may have grander plans for the little guys. While there are a handful of games that already support Avatars in-game—Scene It? Box Office Smash, Uno, etc.—as far as games are concerned, they’re…
Sports fans with a taste for glittery unicorns should run, not walk, to ESPN.com and remember their Konami Code, because it appears that some soon to be possibly unemployed web designer is having a laugh. As a couple of unicorn-loving tipsters with a thirst for sporting news have informed us, inputting the infamous Konami cheat…
Excitebots: Trick Racing, Nintendo’s sequel to Wii launch racer Excite Truck, makes the tenuous connection to the original Excitebike feel increasingly strained. How we arrived at transforming car-beasts doing mid-air stunts may be beyond explanation. But here we are, racing robotic cars shaped like mice, praying mantises and vampire bats against each other in locations…
The Xbox Live Arcade library expands this week with the highly anticipated arrival of much beloved classics Cyber Troopers Virtual On Oratorio Tangram from Sega and Banjo Tooie from Rare. It also gets… Sorry! We don’t envy Habro Family Game Night‘s newest addition, which will likely be overlooked by the arrival of Rare’s Nintendo 64…
Wii owners get double the album’s worth of new downloadables this week, as Jane’s Addiction’s Nothing’s Shocking and Megadeth’s Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying? come to the Rock Band 2 in-game music store. That’s 18 new tracks between the two albums, both of which were released in the second half of the 1980s. Joining Jane’s…
Naughty Dog is adding multiplayer to Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. You might’ve heard. If you had any doubt about the explosive nature of that multiplayer, maybe this trailer will assuage your fears. This is the same trailer that Sony and Naughty Dog showed off at the PlayStation Gamers Day last week, the one that may…
Last week, the addition of multiplayer to Uncharted 2: Among Thieves was still a surprise to much of the video game press attending Sony’s PlayStation Gamers’ Day. Naughty Dog’s reveal was almost perfect. After inviting us downstairs to the mezzanine of the Andaz Hotel, Naughty Dog president Evan Wells told the crowd that they’d prepared…
Universal and 2K Games’ big budget, big screen adaptation of BioShock may have gotten a little too big for its budget, as the film is now in a holding pattern as cost concessions are made. The BioShock film, currently in pre-production, was announced last May by Universal and 2K, with Pirates of the Caribbean director…
