Warhammer Online Beta Begins Sept. 7th

Like Warhammer? Like MMOs? Then you like EA whether you know it or not. All you need to do is pre-order Warhammer Online at a specific retailer (though none were actually announced) and you have a full 11 days to squander for gold to sell on eBay… err, play the game before those that failed [...]

Sony Reaches Deal; All Instruments Compatible Across All Games

The confusion over instruments from the ever increasing slate of music games (all with their own set of instruments) is one step closer to being fixed.

Neo Turf Masters On Virtual Console

Yes, the original Mega Man is also available the same day, but everyone knows that Capcom classic. The special release for the Virtual Console owners should be Neo Turf Masters.

Xbox Live Arcade Review: Bionic Commando Rearmed

It’s amazing what taking such a simple feature such as jumping out of game to do. Over the years, it’s something we’ve become so accustomed to, it’s impossible to live without. Bionic Commando didn’t just take it out, it replaced with a far more difficult to master mechanic, the bionic arm. A video game legacy [...]

Indie Game Development Not that Cheap

With massively hyped titles requiring an investment of millions of dollars to get off the ground, it’s nice to know a small independent developer can still make it with a small amount of cash and some skill. Err, well, not anymore apparently. Platforming/puzzle title and Live Arcade release Braid was created by Johnathan Blow. [...]

OXM Looks Into “Dead” Xbox Live Games

Ever stay awake at night wondering if there’s someone playing FIFA 06, waiting in a Xbox Live lobby to come and join you? I know I do, though I’d never admit it in public. Err, wait… Anyway, the Official Xbox Magazine over in the UK decided to look into this and found someone weird. Someone, (one [...]

Duke Nukem Nuking Live Arcade “Soon”

No, it’s not Duke Nukem Forever. In fact, it’s kinda funny if you thought that. We’re talking about the original FPS Nukem, Duke Nukem 3-D. The game has passed the always extensive certification, and 3D Realms said to expect the game “soon.” Of course, Duke Nukem Forever was supposed to “soon” about 10 times now [...]

Bungie’s FPS sequel beat out Portal, Wii Fit, Mario Galaxy, Rock Band, and Grand Theft Auto IV for the award. What many people may [...]

Street Fighter Alpha Coming to PSN

While it’s not exactly a massive “riot in the streets” type surprise, Street Fighter Alpha is coming to the Playstation Network. An ESRB rating has been up since January. The game is part of the PSOne classics available on the system, and as such, won’t have any new features such as online play. It’s a [...]

Xbox Live Marketplace Makes Microsoft Even Richer

Those $8 Live Arcade games add up. Oh, and think those $3 movie rentals aren’t worth anything? Well, they are… around $240 million. And downloadable content for retail games? If the game has extra content within 30 days of its release, that can tack on an additional $21 million in revenue for a developer on [...]

Brett Favre Jets Cover for Madden Available

EA made a bold move putting a retired player on the cover of Madden. It was a nice way to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the series, and it marked the first time it’s ever happened in general. Unfortunately, Brett Favre pulled a Michael Jordan and didn’t stay retired. An even bigger problem? He was traded [...]
