Right now, Modern Warfare is top of the war shooter hill. The game’s publisher Activision stands atop that hill — a hill rival companies like Electronic Arts are eager to climb. “In March we will launch Battlefield: Bad Company 2, which is our first strong attack on Call Of Duty,” EA Europe boss Jens Uwe…
Darksiders seems to be the flavour of the month so far, its rugged charms leading to good review scores and media opportunities.

Ar tonelico III, the third Ar tonelico…game, has a new promotional trailer. You can watch it! The trailer is cutscene and animation heavy, but there is footage of in-game combat and costume options. The potboiler also features plenty of melodrama and underpants. The voice actress who voices Pokémon’s Pikachu will be lending her talents to…
What this week’s PAL PlayStation Store update lacks in new content it more than makes up for with its retro offerings, as the original Guilty Gear will be available for download tomorrow.

The latest issue of the Official PlayStation Magazine is carrying a brief rumour, claiming that the fifth game in the Dead or Alive series – one that’s long been a Microsoft exclusive – will also be appearing on the PS3.

Multiple models in skimpy clothes say “I am Bayonetta” — much like that “I am Tiger Woods” ad from a few years back. Click to view Like Tiger Woods the character Bayonetta, the girls ask “Do you want to touch me?” The five models are not Bayonetta, however. They are Shannon James, Jillian Kaye, Kat,…
I wasn’t a big fan of the amount of screen-tearing present in the Xbox 360 version of Vigil’s Darksiders. It appears I’m not the only one, as the studio has confirmed that a patch for the issue is on the way. “It’s something that’s really not a difficult fix for us and so we’re going…
Microsoft’s reveal of an Xbox 360 & PC “Game Room” is one of the bigger surprises of CES, but also surprising is the revelation of the development team behind the retro arcade store/service. It’s not Microsoft Game Studios, nor as you’d expect is it Rare, the studio responsible for the creation of the avatars in…
Forget that enormous Gundam statue! How about an enormously expensive hand carved red wood Zaku II? This is hardly the first wooden Gundam, and a wooden statue was released back in 2007.
