Playing Around With iPhone Bit.Trip Beat

When Namco Networks brings WiiWare title Bit.Trip Beat to the iPhone it will include multiplayer and a slew of new levels. Here’s a look at an early build of the Pong-at-a-rave game in action on my iPhone. Note the music, the 8-bit stylings, the ability to purchase level packs, my chewed fingernails… wait, don’t note…

Gunfusion: Meet the Heavy

Meet the Heavy and ignore, for a minute his massive weight loss instead listening to his monologue about his gun, his wonderful, wonderful to-scale gun. Thanks to reader and cosplayer Logan Birch and a very special shout out to Sasha.

Your First Look at Duke Nukem Forever in Action

Yes, Gearbox Software really is turning the perpetual vaporware Duke Nukem Forever into a real live video game bound for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. But talk is cheap, that’s why we have gameplay footage as seen on 2K’s official live stream of their PAX booth. Leather-clad fists? Check! Urinals? Check! Hailing to the…

It’s Official: Duke Nukem Forever Coming From Gearbox In 2011

2K Games has made it official: Duke Nukem Forever is alive and, well, in the hands of developer Gearbox Software, confirming our earlier reports that the Borderlands studio was helping to complete the game’s absurdly long development cycle. The publisher announced this morning in advance of PAX 2010 that Gearbox Software was on the job,…

Duke Nukem Forever Spotted At PAX 2010

As this year’s PAX convention is just about to start, photos from the Penny Arcade Expo show floor confirm that Duke Nukem Forever—now with more Gearbox Software—will have a strong presence at the show.

Original GoldenEye Dev Has A Slight Issue With Remake

Martin Hollis, who while with Rare was one of the men behind the original GoldenEye on the Nintendo 64, has some kind words to say about Activision, the publisher pushing the remake. Oh, sorry, did I say kind? “I imagine it is a business decision isn’t it?”, HOllis told Official Nintendo Magazine. “This name is…

This Only Works In John Woo Movies

If I learned anything from Unreal Tournament, it’s that two automatic pistols are better than one, and holding them sideways makes them fire faster. It’s two popular handgun fallacies in one! Unreal Tournament and the Unreal series in general have produced some pretty amazing weapons with equally impressive alternate firing modes. Some of my personal…

Airman Defends Military’s Video Game Sales Ban

First off, I am an active duty Air Force member. It seems that this whole thing is being misinterpreted by the community based upon a possible misunderstanding of how the Army and Air Force Exchange Service works. Hopefully I can illuminate the situation. It is a series of retail outlets that serves ONLY military personnel.…

Talk Amongst Yourselves

We’d love for you to talk about video games right here. Notice that the art is different today? The artist for the work we originally chose to feature for the month of September in TAY does not want his work used. Fair enough. We’ll use Peter Paul Rubens’ ”La chasse au tigre, au lion et…

Army Vet Insulted By Military’s Video Game Sales Ban

It’s amazing, even years after getting out of the Army, how much it colors your everyday life. As a former Army Medic, now working as an entertainment journalist covering comic books, video games, movies, and TV, my soldier past comes up far more often than I would have ever expected. The news about Medal of…

Shining Hearts Needs More Time To Shine

PSP game Shining Hearts, the last entry in Sega’s Shining fantasy series, was slated for release on December 2. It has been delayed. According to Sega’s site, the game’s quality needs to be improved. However, there has been some speculation that the recently revealed December 1 release date for Monster Hunter 3rd Portable has caused…

Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath Is Back!

Developer Just Add Water is working on a HD remake of Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath. That’s the good news. The bad news, at least for Xbox owners, is that for now it seems to be a PS3 exclusive. It’s a cruel irony that one of the few original Xbox games that was never made compatible with…

Need For Speed Recommends: Sun, Sand and Supercars

In this new video we get a chance to check out another “recommendation” from Need for Speed Hot Pursuit’s Autolog. I can’t remember the last time I anticipated a racing title this much. Can’t wait to take this Need for Speed meets Burnout driver for a ride.
