Every Rock Band Song In One Place Looks Like This
Between the two main games, there are a lot of Rock Band songs. Between them and the add-on discs there’s more. Throw in the DLC and there’s tons. So many they can fill a wall. This monstrous display dominates The Beatles Rock Band area of MTV’s E3 stand, and is pretty damn impressive. So I…

Left 4 Dead 2 Extended Impressions
Yes, Left 4 Dead 2‘s release is shockingly close to the release of the original Left 4 Dead. And yes, Left 4 Dead 2 plays very similarly to the original Left 4 Dead. But there’s a reason for both of those things. Left 4 Dead 2 is arriving almost a year to the day after…

Last Guardian Trailer Now Totally Fixed
.html When Team Ico’s Last Guardian was known to us as Project Trico, it had a pretty rough trailer. Still impressive, but, yeah, rough. Now it’s been cleaned up! Rumour was that the leaked clip was from around a year ago, so Team Ico have had plenty of time to pass a few more renders…

How Halo ODST’s Firefight Isn’t Like Gears of War
The new Firefight mode in Halo 3 ODST may seem like nothing more than Bungie’s version of Gears of War’s Horde mode, but the dots in the top left corner… they are what’s different. In Halo 3 ODST, the new Firefight mode will allow four players to fight against waves of Covenant enemies. Levels are…

What Did Shigeru Miyamoto Say?
A recently released Nintendo patent from last year might solve the stumbling block for novice players while keeping the interest of hardcore players.

Borderlands Eyes-On: Co-Op Fallout In Reverse
You’re in the wasteland, taking on quests, picking up look, and wandering around for miles, only this time you’re trying to get into the Vault. I had a chance to check out a demonstration of Gearbox Software’s cosmetically mercurial Borderlands today, and it felt rather familiar. Take the wasteland environment, role-playing, and first-person shooter elements…

Microsoft will be offering full retail games like Assassin’s Creed and Mass Effect as downloadable games via Xbox Live Marketplace Games On Demand starting this August.

Get Your Hands On Rachel In Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
Stopping by Tecmo today for a little hands-on with Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, I learned that everyone’s favorite ridiculously large-chested blonde is the third additional playable character in the PlayStation 3 exclusive remake.

Brink Is Certainly Different
When you think Bethesda, you think sprawling role-playing games, open worlds full of quests, and monsters, and orchestral scores. You do not think of fast-paced RPG shooters. Yeah, RPG shooters. That blend elements of singleplayer FPS games, multiplayer deathmatchers and more than a few roleplaying customs as well. If that sounds confusing to read, don’t…
