Kill your enemy. Chainsaw a dude in half. Unlock stuff. Level up. The new Gears of War 3 multiplayer beta on Xbox 360, a sneak preview of the Gears game coming out on the Xbox 360 on September 20, combines the cover-based shooting of old Gears games with that fever for unlocking new medals, weapons…
What happens when a bunch of game journalists and game developers from Capcom converge in Miami for a multi-day showcase of Capcom games? A lot of 3DS Street Passing. This is how Nintendo’s unusual approach to social networking is supposed to work. (Note: The image you see above before starting the video features the Mii…
I recently had an opportunity to play Street Fighter X Tekken, the next big fighting game from Capcom. There was one problem with this opportunity: I stink at fighting games. The game was running on eight TVs and consoles in a hotel in Miami, the centerpiece of a Capcom showcase for the company’s upcoming games.…
Nintendo’s next console will debut at E3 in June, moving the maker of Mario and Zelda into the HD era. The news, first reported by Game Informer who cited anonymous sources in their report today, confirms rumors that have been swirling for months in the wake of slowing game releases from Nintendo. Furthermore, we’ve heard…
The video game zombies of Resident Evil and Dead Rising are equally undead and equally at ease with chewing on your neck. There are differences, though, in the shambling hordes of these two popular series from Capcom. I recently asked creators of each to define what makes their zombies different. First, a zombie perspective from…

Two new Resident Evils. A big new dragon game. The next Street Fighter twist. A Dead Rising remake. And one Hindu-inspired epic with an amazing boss battle. Those were the big games of Captivate 2011, a showcase recently held in Miami for many of the biggest Capcom games coming out in the next year. I…
New comic books are released every Wednesday in comics shops across North America, as well as on the iPad (though those aren’t always so new). Every Wednesday, I recommend a bunch that are worth your dollars. There aren’t many video game comics of note this week, but there are a few Nick Spencer comics of…
Last week, in Miami, Yoshinori Ono, the cheerful, jokey lead producer of the Street Fighter series had just shown off his team’s new game, Street Fighter X Tekken. He and I were just about done talking about it I had time for one more question. I need only one more answered: “How thick are Chun-Li’s…
Dead Rising games have always been difficult, but gamers haven’t always been happy about that. What’s a fair way to make a game tough, and what isn’t? With each new Dead Rising release, the game creators at Capcom have been tweaking their answer and reconsidering what players want. With Dead Rising 2: Off The Record,…
Brisk and violent, played better with a friend and fueled by a gamer’s zeal to achieve a higher score, Resident Evil Mercenaries 3D is as fun as it is barely a Resident Evil game. The new 3DS title, shown to reporters last week at a showcase by publisher Capcom in Miami, is a barely scary…
That moment I knew Resident Evil: Raccoon City could be a multiplayer game worth playing was when I turned the tables on my attacker. The game is a third-person shooter. You can play it competitively, and, as is possible in many games of this type, an enemy player can get the jump on you. I…

Lest you forget that Halo is a big deal — and that the series turns 10 this year — Microsoft is ready to remind you. A raft of Halo news hit this morning, including a promise of a Friday upgrade to the Xbox 360’s Halo Waypoint and a tease of some big things in August.…
A GOOD USE OF BRICKS | SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA: A delightful Lego take on Pac-Man, on display late last month at Bricks by the Bay, “a celebration of LEGO as an artistic medium and hobby.” (Photo by origamiguy1971 via Flickr) The Making of Gears of War 3 Multiplayer I’ll stay out of the way of…
There’s a guy named Asura, who you can control, sometimes with very few buttons. He’s the star of Asura’s Wrath, a new absurd action game. Asura keeps the world safe… from giant fingers and other divine threats. Asura’s daughter has been kidnapped by demigods. Plus, there’s ogres of some sort that he has to worry…
“Why isn’t your game called Street Fighter Vs. Tekken?” I asked Street Fighter X Tekken producer Yoshinori Ono last week in Miami. That “X” is pronounced “cross.” “We were trying to make it a much more adversarial kind of title,” he replied through a translator. “What we saw with the old Vs. games, like ‘X-Men…
We’ve been asked by the people behind PlayStation to save the date. June 6, 5pm Pacific. Los Angeles. That’s when their big E3 press conference will happen. That’s when we’ll probably find out about the biggest and best gaming plans for the PS3 and NGP, at least for the next year. Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft…
