Dead Rising Creator Has a Request For Us
Keiji Inafune is worried that you might think that Capcom doesn’t want to work with Western game developers anymore, that the studio that made Mega Man, Street Fighter and Resident Evil would happily just back games made in Japan. Well, technically we had heard that the company that backed the Western-developed original game Dark Void…

Halo: Reach Will Be Harder Than You Think, Less Spacey
The next Halo game will probably have the toughest enemies in series history, I learned this morning when I wasn’t flying a spaceship (!) in Halo: Reach. But they’ll only be tough if you force their hand. Bungie’s Brian Jarrard played through part of the mid-game mission Long Night of Solace in an office in…

Turn Off The Lights And Super Sonic Glows
Why spend $140 on a regular 15-inch-tall Super Sonic the Hedgehog statue when you can spend $160 on one that glows? First4Figures extends their Sonic license with the powered-up version of Sega’s mascot. Back in 2008, First4Figures put their first Sonic the Hedgehog statue up for sale for $99. It was lovely and all, but…

The Fabled Unibear Is Going To Die Horribly
Who could possibly want to hurt something as glorious as a cross between a unicorn and a plush teddy bear? Oh yeah, that guy. Naughty Bear finally hits store shelves next week, and for better or worse, I’ve got my copy preordered at GameStop, in order to secure an exclusive slasher bear skin, completely with…

Dead Space 2 Is a Dark Journey Through Hell in Space
Dead Space 2 is more of what you loved in the first game: More dismembering bodies, more freakishly frightening creatures, more zero-G. Most importantly, it looks like it will still walk a fine line between disturbing horror survival and the action of a third-person shooter. Dead Space 2 takes place in the expansive mining town…

FarmVille Hits iTunes, Productivity Plummets
As promised, FarmVille is now available for the iPhone and iPod Touch, dooming millions to endless mobile toil on virtual farms, unless the app’s slow speed and crashing save the day. FarmVille for the iPhone crashed on me four times before finally loading my farm, seen in the screenshot above. Once it did load my…

Jimmy Fallon Feels The Need For Speed
Next year we’re just going to wait until the week after E3 and let the publishers bring the games to us, like Jimmy Fallon has done with Kinect, Call of Duty: Black Ops, and now Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. There’s an interesting dichotomy of fashion going on in this clip. Fallon sports his normal…

About The Time The Car Got Stuck
To: Crecente From: Bashcraft RE: Dead PC And that time was today. Roads near where we live can get rather narrow. There are, of course, multi-lane roads, but if you want to take a shortcut to, say, get Mini-Bash to soccer practice, you can cut thru rice paddies like Mrs. Bashcraft did today. Until the…

Resident Evil 5 With Move Controls? Better Than You’d Think
When Capcom showed survival horror game Resident Evil 5 being played with PS3 Move motion controls at last year’s Tokyo Game Show, I quietly snickered to myself. No, actually, it may have been audible. Boy, was I ever wrong. Let’s be honest, it’s easy to assume tacked on motion controls are a gimmick. Really easy.…

UncategorizedVuvuzelas Can Even Ruin Doom
While a lot of people – most of them casual observers of football at best – insist on complaining endlessly about the vuvuzelas at the World Cup, they’re not that bad. At least those ones can’t make you explode. These ones can! But it’s OK; they’re built to emit a frequency that only kills the…

Brink’s Customization Might Be Custom Made For Me
I have a confession. I have always been put off by one thing: faces in Bethesda games. But that may change. Take Oblivion, the faces in that game actually freaked me out! I wanted to get into the game, explore the world, but I found myself getting hung up on the way the characters look.…
