Yeah, Ice-T Is In Gears Of War 3

Don’t call Ice-T a liar, because tonight it’s been confirmed that the rapper and TV cop will be playing the role of Griffin in Epic’s 2011 shooter. And it doesn’t get much more confirmed than that picture right there (and this Tweet right here), Ice-T and his lovely wife Coco snuggling up to the Gears…

The Kingdom Hearts Keyblade Takes Disneyland

Over at Disneyland forum MiceChat, member AcmePunched created a keyblade weapon from Square Enix’s Disney franchise Kingdom Hearts. That’s no big deal. What she did, however, is. AcmePunched took the Keyblade to Disneyland and had an array of characters pose with it until… “A security guard came up to me and asked about the key,”…

Civilization V’s Trailer Is A Love Letter To PC Gamers

Oh boy. If Civilization V screenshots were enough to get you arranging for sick leave and divorce papers, you may not want to watch this trailer. Or, you may want to. Up to you! In addition to showing the nuts and bolts of the game – like menus (I have a fetish for menu shots…

How Parasite Eve Went From Cell Phones To the PSP

Parasite Eve: The Third Birthday did not start its life out as a PSP title. Oh, no. It began its existence as a Japanese cell phone game. During the late 1990s, Parasite Eve was adapted from a Japanese horror novel into a PlayStation title. A sequel followed in 2000. Then radio silence until 2007 when…

Reminder: Our E3 Coverage Doesn’t Sleep

It may be the end of the day in Los Angeles, but our E3 coverage doesn’t care. It just continues, like a machine, and it will not stop until you are dead. Or at least informed!

Debut Trailer For Kid Icarus: Uprising

First shown off yesterday, and probably the best-looking game from the initial 3DS lineup, here’s Kid Icarus: Uprising’s debut trailer. It looks fine blown up on a monitor, so in 3D, on the 3DS’ smaller screens, it’ll probably look fantastic Click to view

How Long Should We Expect To Play Final Fantasy XIV?

Let’s see, Final Fantasy XI came out in Japan in spring 2002. It’s been over 8 years! But how long did Square Enix intend to support the game? Five years.

Vanquish Is Full Of Stylish Bullet Time, Smoke Breaks

The makers of Madworld and Bayonetta turn their attention to Gears of War-style, cover-based shooting. Then they step on the accelerator and wind up with Vanquish, a lightning fast action game created by a man who loves to smoke. Vanquish puts players in a super powered suit built by DARPA, worn by government agent Sam…

The WTF Photo Of E3 2010

Does this picture make sense to you? I can explain it, if you’d like. You are looking at a scene from Konami’s wacky E3 2010 press conference. The two man are game developers who were working here, explaining the new game Never Dead. It’s a third-person shooter, a game about a guy with guns who…

Gran Turismo 5 Hits The Top Gear Test Track

This is the E3 trailer for Gran Turismo 5. Or, as I call it, the “I might get this game just for the Top Gear test track” trailer. Since we’ve seen expensive cars drive around to awful music countless times in a GT trailer, you may as well skip to around the 58-second mark, where…

Gears of War 3 Changing Things Up To Stay Out of The Rut

Gotta give the Gears of War series credit. We’re three games in, and designer Cliff Bleszinski still believes in keeping things fresh. Each successive title in the cover-based third-person shooter has offered its own fresh new take. With Gears of War 2, it was the dynamic cover “meatshield” feature in which players could use enemies…

NBA Jam’s E3 Trailer

It’s not getting the attention of some of the louder games at the show, which is a shame, but boy, the closer NBA Jam gets to completion the better it looks. It’ll be out later this Fall for the Nintendo Wii. There are also rumours, hopes and dreams that it will also turn up eventually…

There Will Be No Medal Of Honor Beta This Week, Xbox 360 Owners

Tomorrow, select PS3 and PC owners will begin beta testing the new Medal of Honor. Xbox 360 owners, you’re going to have to wait until next week. Sorry! There’s been some kind of hiccup with the 360 version of the beta, and all EA can say is that “it is expected to be available next…

Resident Evil Also Shambling Onto The Nintendo 3DS

This is a weird one. Many 3DS “games” on the showroom floor show gameplay, but are just tech demos. This one shows nothing but cinematics, but is actually a proper game. Yes, Resident Evil: Revelations is a full game currently in development at Capcom, and…that’s all we know! Deduce what you want from the screenshots…

Metal Gear Solid Rising’s E3 Trailer: See How You Cut

This has been shown a couple of times now at E3, at Microsoft’s press conference as well as Konami’s. Now it’s your turn to see it. A slight warning: it’s not for the faint of heart, as Raiden’s sword is put to very good use.

Method Man, Redman And…Hair Man?
