While one would expect certain titles released after the New Xbox Experience launch to use Avatars, it seems older games will use the feature as well. The games included are Bomberman, Uno, and the Hardwood card games. In Bomberman’s case, you’ll actually be able to use your Avatars in the game itself, which goes against [...]

Obama, Palin Starring in Mercenaries 2

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.

MK vs DC Fatality Removed to Make T Rating

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, [...]

THQ Sues Activision… Over Box Art. Really.

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 [...]
