The Kick-Ass Game Is New And Improved
Remember that Kick-Ass video game that came out with the movie back in April? There’s a “new and improved” version coming out next week that makes that one look like a beta version.

James Bond: Blood Stone DS Sure Has a Lot of Running
What’s with all of the running, Bond? The fluid aiming, the ability to take cover and shoot your environment is all neat in James Bond: Blood Stone DS, but that crazy-arms running is the most captivating thing in this video for me. I’m never going to be able to take Daniel Craig seriously again. James…

First Trailer For New Resident Evil Cartoon
Resident Evil: Degeneration, Capcom’s 2008 animated zombie flick, has a follow-up film called Resident Evil: Damnation. Confusing! Sure, serious fans won’t have any issues, but that’s a lot of “D” and “-ation” for two separate movies that are both about people being torn apart by zombies. Damnation won’t be out until 2012, so to keep…

Where The Hell Is Battlefield 1943 On PC?
I didn’t put much time into the console versions of Battlefield 1943 because I was waiting for the PC edition. Thing is, nearly a year-and-a-half later, I’m still waiting. What’s up with that? “We are obviously working on the PC platform and we’ll be ready to talk about that shortly”, EA’s Patrick Soderlund tells Eurogamer.…

UncategorizedThe Xbox 360 That Goes To Infinity, And Beyond!
The materials used to make a console mod like this are fairly simple: some mirrors, something to cut your 360 case with and some LED lights. But the effect is fantastic. While the clip above was posted by a commercial venture, those with experience in modifying Xbox 360 consoles shouldn’t have too much trouble cooking…

Starcraft’s Pumpkin Overlord Spews Seeds
Starcraft II developers Blizzard held a little competition over the Halloween weekend to see which of their fans could come up with the best pumpkin carving.
