Despite being a sub-par open world actioner, Mercenaries 2 will be gaining new life when Barack Obama and Sarah Palin make their debut inside the game. Yes, both candidates will be playable, touting rocket launchers as they clean up the Venezualan landscape. Both characters are available via DLC. Seeing the video, it almost seems natural [...]

The story of the first next-gen PS3 Destroy All Humans title continues. It apparently wasn’t as simple as “technical issues” as THQ stated. Path of the Furon will still be coming to the PS3, but only in Europe. Here’s the catch: The game is set for a December 2nd launch on the 360 in the US. [...]

For a big game release, it’s nice to plan ahead. For instance, head out to the store. Pick up Killzone 2. Drive home. Put game in console. Install game, do stuff around the house. Play for 37 hours. Thankfully, with Killzone 2, one of those isn’t necessary. Guerrilla Games confirmed that the game will be installation free, and that it [...]

The day is finally upon us. Gamers around the world can enjoy the HD beauty of Super SFII HD Remix on the PS3 and Xbox 360. Wait… back up for a second on that worldwide stuff. In actuality, it’s not going to be worldwide after all. For an unexplained reason, Europeans have been thrown out of [...]

Everyone knows you could make some impressive stuff within Little Big Planet, but this is on an entirely new level. Not only can you create levels, you can create games within the game. The latest from a Japanese gamer is the cream of the crop. He’s taken the entire first level of the Konami shooter [...]

The teaser that was Gran Turismo 5 Prologue may already have racing fans excited for GT5. However, at some point, that “prologue” needs to be removed from the title, and well, we’re still waiting. The rumor spinning around this thing called the Internet says that there’s a possibility that Christmas ‘09 will be the launch [...]

Sackboys are cool, and Sony is wasting no time in exploiting that fact. A number of downloadable Sackboys have been made available already, some free and some not. To further that process (and to make more money), a set of Street Fighter themed Sackboys should be coming down the line. A picture of the four, [...]

A while back, a video made the rounds of a fatality from MK vs. DC. In it, the Joker wiped out his opponent, spun around, pulled out a big gun, and blasted his adversary in the face while a spurt of blood poured out. Well, that was a bit too much for the T rating, [...]

First, you announce a delay. Then, you state on the new release date that you’re already working on a sequel? Man, this industry moves fast. Media Molecule let this info go for a BBC article. Oh, and they’re not only working on a sequel either. We’re going to be bombarded with Little Big Planet stuff, [...]

There have been a lot of absurd lawsuits in the industry over the years, but this one is pretty bad. THQ’s rather lackluster Baja Edge of Control featured a red car being jumped by a blue car in an off road setting. Baja 1000 from Activision features a red car being jumped by a blue [...]

Sony must like Capcom. After some truly awesome downloadable titles like Bionic Commando Rearmed and Mega Man 9, Sony will be honoring the company with their very own store on PSN. The store will be launched in November, and Sony is hoping to have other companies have their own stores at later dates. The idea [...]

Arguably the best part of Mirror’s Edge was running… fast. Too much of the game slowed down the pacing to eliminate the feeling of freedom. That’s what made the time trials so much fun. They’re based around speed and skill. The time clock ticking away added the extra sense of urgency. Developer Dice realized this and [...]
