word is out that Sony is working with a phone company in order to make a system
that will give the iphone a run for its money. no more information is known,
but there is a meeting between these 2 companies some time next month.

Sony is also insisting that the psp go has aps that are not
just games. Sounds like even more competition
for the iphone.
Midway games was officially bought out by Warner Brothers. so all creative
properties like mortal combat and all that other stuff now belong to Warner
Brothers.

The next Professor Layton game is not going to be very different, but really,
what more could you want? a game dedicated to puzzles with an interesting
story to link them all together. Sounds like a good concept to me. I think the
first game was solid enough that there is no need for changing. there is word that there will be more
animated scenes though.

Ps3 and 360 may get a price cut by the fall.
Sony insists that the ps3 will not get a price cut though.

Here is a detailed review of the new batman game.

this is going to sound a little strange but the PSP GO is $249 because it's new, and Sony knows (or at least believes) that the kind of people who will buy something when it's new will pay more for it than they probably should. Kinda evil, but they have a point.

Uncharted movie in the works. I may have said they before. But its happening.

Hivemind has been added to the internet terms.

There is a new Sega toy coming out in July. The "Retro Gen" is a hand held device that is said to be able to play old sega games, along with games downloaded to an sd card. And its only $50. sounds like a cheep version of the psp, but who knows what it may do.

Sony has a new silver controller. Woop-de-fucking-do.

If you have the first left 4 dead on the pc, valve just enabled custom campaigns. So you can edit your own campaign and make your own maps. Sounds like a lot of fun.

Here is a very long interview with robot chicken on the topic of video games.

Serious Sam has been remade for the xbox live arcade in HD. I never actually played the original game, so I think I may pick this one up.

Turns out how the crackdown team that is working on crackdown 2 is not a whole new team. Half the staff worked on the first game are working on the second game. and they where hired for that very purpose. Also, they have a new map. It wont be the same map from the first game. I never thought there would be, but someone felt that it needed to be mentioned.

Don't want to play wii games with the wii remote? Well if the game does not require wii controls, then you can now use the ps2 controller. With this new adapter for $19.

review of the new DS Zelda game

looks like tingle will be getting 2 spin off titles for the DS. I could care less, but the picture in the top left corner of this magazine ad just cracks me up, and scares me at the same time.

looks like rock star

Some guy tried to rob a GameStop in
See, with all kinds of locks and shutters on the front door,
back door and windows, the thief figured he'd break in by crashing through the
roof. Which he did! Easy as pie. But then he looked around the store. Front
door was locked, he couldn't open it. Back door was locked, he couldn't open
it.
He was trapped.
So he dragged a filing cabinet under the hole in the roof,
climbed up on it and left the way he came in. Empty-handed. Way to go, genius.

Modern warfare 2 will have 2 player co-op. and that is ONLY 2 player co-op. they will not have 4 because they say that once you move past 2 players, the whole experience becomes way more of a cluster fuck. So 2 player co-op it is.

If you reserve assassins creed 2 at gamestop, you get a code that unlocks an ancient building for you to fuck around in. the place is supposed to be fancy and stuff, and have treasure and all that. Sounds fun. So go reserve your copy today.

This game for the DSi looks like it will be scary as shit.

apparently duke nukem forever is still being worked on. 3d realms plans to keep working on the game. Though when they will finish, when they have to more staff is a different issue.

Several months back the Sims 3 was leaked onto the internet, and downloaded by everyone who cared. I did not, so I don't know what happens first hand. Anyway, EA says that they leaked the game on purpose. The leaked game was a demo that only had half the content. You get the other half when you register online with EA. So the leak is only half the game.

Game developers can use Microsoft's avatars in games, but they have to fallow this loooong list of rules for what they can and can not do.

the word that there was going to be a new Xbox in 2010 is not true once again. Apparently the guy who said something about it had misspoken and Microsoft has spent the last week putting out fires. There is no new console. And they urge us to stop talking about it.

This is actually pretty cool, a custom desktop that you can make yourself. Check it out.

Here's a pleasant change from seeing your average celebrity gushing over a
video game: seeing a celebrity troll on the Wii.
Seems that while Shia LaBeouf is a big-time gamer, he's only a big-time
gamer on the 360 and PS3. Which he seems to quite enjoy. When it comes to the
Wii, however...things get trollish.
Speaking with Big Download, he says:
(BD) Have you checked out the Wii Transformers game?
(SL) I haven't been able to play the Wii game because my hand is broken. I've
just been playing Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. I would imagine that the Wii
experience will be like...I don't mess with the Wii, to be honest with you.
It's kind of an amateur console. I'm not into the Wii thing.
(BD)What's wrong with the Wii?
(SL)This is how in a simple way you can find out if it's a gamer you want to
play with. Ask them if they have a Wii. If they say yes, get the f*** out of
there.
He later follows that up with "Who wants to play the Wii version of
LEGO Star Wars. I'd rather eat glass.". Even though the Wii version is,
well, for all intents and purposes identical to the other ones.
Bet Activision and Krome Studios, the people behind the Wii version of the
upcoming Transformers game, are just delighted with his promotional
abilities.



problem fixed! pics have been added to the archive!

Anyone who was subscribing to EMG aka Electronic Gaming Monthly, will be surprised to find that they will now be getting copies of Maxim instead. EMG folded earlier this year, but people with subscriptions didn�t. so the people in charge decided to use the subscription money to get everyone who had a subscription a replacement with Maxim. Odd�

Square Enix want to make it clear that even though Final Fantasy XIII will be on both the PS3 and 360, they want to be sure to let you know that they will not sacrifice anything. They are working on the PS3 version first, then when they are done they will know exactly what will go into the 360. no word on how many disks it will be, but it will probably be more than 1.

In japan if you preorder Strike Witches, you will also get a free DS holder that looks like girls gym shorts.

Microsoft responds to those reports of a new xbox last week. They say that it is not going to happen in the way we think. Its not going to be a new console. They MAY make something like an xbox 360 slim or something like that. But no new system in the sense that we are thinking.
Correction. They have nothing new coming. They say we are only half way through this console generation and they are happy with the 360.

The DSi hits a wall when it comes to Guitar Hero. Those of you who have ever played the guitar hero ds games will know that you need the game boy advanced game slot in order to use the attachment with the buttons for the guitar. Well guess what? The DSi DOES NOT HAVE A GBA GAME SLOT! So you are shit out of luck. Especially when it comes to the new guitar hero game Guitar Hero On Tour: Modern Hits. So if you have a dsi, don�t buy it!

Ubisoft thinks that when the next gen consoles hit the market, the price of how much it will cost to develop games will go through the roof. Ubisoft thinks that we are looking at an average of $60 million for each game.

Left 4 dead 2s box art was to gory for ESRB, so they had to change it. It turns out the limit to how many fingers can be chewed off on a box cover is exactly 1.

Turns out that in today�s day and age, DSL just wont cut it for online gaming. � FUCK!!!

Crackdown 2 is not being made by the same company that did the first game. It has been handed off to a brand new studio because the old company Realtime Worlds is currently working on APB. So Microsoft put a noob in charge of the game. We will see what happens with that.

Last week I told you that PS3 is banned from a prison in the
So the prison never had a PS3 to begin with.

If you pre-order Halo ODST, you will get a download code for unlocking Sgt. Johnson! He will accompany you throughout the whole game. Sounds cool!

Starcraft 2 is still scheduled to come out later this year.

In Gamefaqs �Best game ever� contest, that lasted several months, has just ended. And the winner for best game ever is Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I personally think this vote is very stupid because its is very bias. But what ever. Ocarina if Time is the best game ever by popular demand.

Xbox originals is coming to a close in a few weeks. Microsoft says they have completed there portfolio of old xbox titles and is going to stop adding things soon. Only 1 more game will be added before it is closed for good.

Developers of no more heroes are feeling the hurt for using only the wii. They say that sails, wile good, are still dangerously low from what they should be. And they ask that you reserve Little Kings Story.

You know how Wii MotionPlus go in Wii Remote? Nintendo know. Nintendo show you. It show you with video. Video show how MotionPlus go in Wii Remote! You watch. Then you know. Then you have Wii MotionPlus in Wii Remote!!
