Nathan “Rad” Spencer, the star of 2009’s Bionic Commando, exchanges blows—and quips—with Iron Man in this new gameplay video of Marvel vs. Capcom 3.

But stick with Lords of Shadow I shall. There hasn’t been a Castlevania game released on a…
At this very moment, I’m browsing the “sexy costumes” category of an online retailer, wondering what can out-weird the fact that they sell “sexy” Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle inspired get ups. Oh, right. This is tonight’s open thread. Sorry. One school of thought contends that any character, any uniform, can be sexy-fied. Their evidence comes…

Another week, another few hundred thousand copies of Pokemon Black and White snapped up by Japanese gamers. The Nintendo DS game appears to be on track to break the 4 million mark any minute now.
