So, you guys remember when you found Bill’s corpse lying dead in the Left 4 Dead DLC The Passing? Didn’t that suck? I kind of hoped that Louis was the one who got left behind. I mean he had the least personality of all the other four survivors. Francis had his “I hate everything” spiel, [...]

You guys are going to have to face it, DLC is the wave of the future for the fighting game genre. The new Mortal Kombat reboot is the next game that will make extensive use of downloadable capabilities. In fact, Mortal Kombat is going to be one of the first games that will produce downloadable [...]

August 23rd, 2010 Update On at least ten separate occasions over the course of the past three years I have had debilitating night terrors. I wake up covered in sweat. I shout, I scream, I wail, I cry, it’s truly horrible. I have this reoccurring dream that Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer was [...]

Recently, two new trailers were released for Marvel VS Capcom 3 that detailed the two newest entrants: Viewtiful Joe and The Dread Dormammu. Previously, we opened up a speculative discussion about their move sets based on a bunch of screen caps that we saw off Kotaku, taken at Gamescom. However, this new trailer actually shows [...]

The PS3 has long stood as the last bastion against piracy. The console, which has a LOT of cool functions such as universal USB support for mics, controllers and other devices, the PS3 media server, and of course free online play via the Playstation Network, has lagged behind in sales in the past. This is [...]

So today a new trailer released for BlazBlue Continuum Shift. Most of the trailer is stuff we have seen before, however there were a couple new bits that were worth taking notice of. Specifically, they were badass combat butler bits that occurred briefly toward the end of the trailer. Yep, we have finally gotten our [...]

Remember a while back when we posted that rumor about Valve releasing a standalone DOTA (Defense of the Ancients) client, and how we made tons of jokes about how League of Legends already did that? You don’t? Well read our blog some more asshole! Anyway for those loyal fans who do remember this (we love [...]

Many people called last year the fighting game renaissance. All the major franchises came back with new iterations that finally put fighting games back in the spotlight. While some companies like Capcom and Arc System Works produced massive hits like Street Fighter IV and BlazBlue, others put out titles that weren’t the greatest, like King [...]

With PSP sales dropping steadily, it’s about time for Sony to start thinking of its new handheld device, and what does Sony do better than anything else? Rip off Nintendo! Well, to be fair I should say “improve upon” Nintendo. The Dualshock controller was way better than the N64’s analog stick, and now the Playstation [...]

Yoshinori Ono and Katsuhiro Harada promised us that we would get a chance to see Tekken X Street Fighter in action at this year’s GamesCom. Unfortunately, that promise didn’t come true. This game, one half of the Namco VS Capcom project, will feature Tekken and Street Fighter characters duking it out in the Tekken 6 [...]

Last week I wrote about Scott Pilgrim and how it faced some stiff competition for its opening weekend, and that it would tank at the box office. Well, I was wrong. It really tanked at the box office, opening in fifth place behind even The Other Guys and Inception, both of which have been out [...]

You love zombie films. You love them more than your Boba Fett action figure. Yes, the one that you immediately seized any time any time any sort of Star Wars tomfoolery was about to start up. You love them so much that you’ve watched the Thriller video hundreds of times, have the dance down pat [...]

Some of the most interesting updates that we are getting from Gamescom this year are the ones pertaining to Blizzard’s Diablo III. I mean, it’s Diablo! Who isn’t excited? This time around we were given an in-depth walkthrough of the game’s “artisan” system. You see, unlike Diablo I and II, Diablo III doesn’t just hand [...]

Gamescom day one has ended and it has brought us plenty of new updates, and call me a bit of a fanatic but there is no update that I was more excited about than the expansion to the roster of Marvel VS Capcom 3. Unfortunately, the Gamescom updates to the roster are two characters that [...]

Sorry to tell you Underworld fans … wait a minute, do Underworld fans still exist? Well anyway, sorry to tell you hypothetical Underworld fans but you are going to have to wait before Kate Beckinsale creeps into your perverted vampire fantasies again. You see Underworld 4 has been pushing forward for some time now, but [...]
