Friday, March 19, 2010
Unfortunately, this trailer for a new multiplayer mode in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 is not what was show on South Park recently, that of a fighting mini-game between Tiger and his wife. While that could be great, it might not go over too well with the game’s sponsor. Instead, Tiger 11 is bringing team play [...]

Wednesday, March 17, 2010
The next to last week in the XBLA Block Party brings an upgrade of a N64 FPS that is not Goldeneye, but the next best thing. Perfect Dark As an update, not a remake, of the N64 classic, this fixes almost everything that was wrong with the original… mainly the frame rate. Perfect Dark was a technological [...]

Wednesday, March 17, 2010
Update: That was fast. The patch is live and should download next time you sign in. 2K Sports actually made some progress this year with their baseball franchise, which over the past few years had lagged so far behind Sony’s The Show it was nothing short of a joke. Unfortunately, with great progress comes great foul [...]

Monday, March 15, 2010
Ridiculous. Back when the first string of maps for mutliplayer games first kicked off on Xbox Live, people screamed that $10 was too much. Those who followed the Ghost Recon saga remember that mess well as UbiSoft began the trend of pricing that has come standard. Now, Activision has taken it a step up. Realizing they [...]

Sunday, March 14, 2010
Nostalgia is a dangerous thing. For kids in the late ‘80s, early ‘90s, the NES release of Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game was a revolution. This was a title long out of reach of most kids, only available in the arcades as a massive quarter eater. Konami, hardly about to see the potential profits [...]

Saturday, March 13, 2010
People who forked over the money for the downloadable multiplayer maps in BioShock 2 noticed something pretty quick, that the download was instant. The file size on the Xbox 360 was a meager 108k, the bare minimum, and 24k on the PC. So, why are players being charged for content that is already on the [...]

Wednesday, March 10, 2010
The Xbox Live Arcade Block Party continues with another winner. Scrap Metal The overhead or 3/4 view driving genre is loaded with classics, including R.C. Pro-Am and Rock ‘n Roll Racing.

Wednesday, March 10, 2010
If you live in Venezula and are considering producing, owning, or selling a violent video game, you’re risking jail time of two to five years as a new law drafted by President Hugo Chavez has passed. What constitutes a “violent video game?” That is not very clear. The country’s “consumer protection society” makes that decision, with [...]

Tuesday, March 9, 2010
Over the weekend, some who picked up Assassin’s Creed 2 on the PC were unable to play. The reason? The servers that authenticated legit copies were down. So, if you actually supported this absurd DRM scheme before, this has to sway you towards the opposing side. A single player game that can’t be played without [...]
