It’s time for a little history lesson. Back in the days of the Dreamcast, a wonderful little space shooter called Rez came out that attempted to merge gameplay, graphics, and music together into one synesthetic experience. Then again, if you weren’t into that sort of thing, Rez’s creator Tetsuya Mizuguchi knew all too well that [...]

Well everyone, the war is finally over. Sony, video gaming behemoth, and Geohot, hacker icon, have finally come to an agreement. The two have settled out of court, and apparently no money has changed hands. Geohot has “consented to a permanent injunction” against the information he published regarding cracking the PS3’s root key. In short, [...]

A peculiar screenshot cropped up on the NeoGAF forums today. It was of the Mortal Kombat character select screen, and strangely enough, it was totally filled in with the final roster. There is no way to verify the roster at this time, but it’s actually looking pretty legit. The roster is laid out as follows. [...]

If you are a fighting game fan, you probably have heard of Yoshinori Ono’s (the current producer of Street Fighter) push to get Darkstalkers rebooted and put on next generation systems. In his effort to make Capcom take notice of fan demand, Ono started an online petition that has currently reached about 100,000 signatures. Unfortunately [...]

Duke Nukem Forever, the most delayed game in all of history, was finally supposed to come out in May. Gearbox Software, the guys behind Borderlands, were going to do the impossible and finally bring this holy grail of video game releases right to our home consoles. The game was slated for a May release, buuuut [...]

The 2D run and gun shooter genre is dying these days. With FPSes ruling the roost, few people remember how the bullet saturated days of Contra kicked off our obsession with bringing the pixel and the gun together. For those that do remember, it’s good that Arc System Works, creator of such games as Guilty [...]

Seth Killian said he wanted to patch Marvel VS Capcom 3 once before Evo, and we all hope he does. This is our wish list for features that we would like to see included in the patch.

Marvel VS Capcom 3 has been the big buzz in the fighting game community for some time now. Recently, Capcom unveiled a new build and four brand new characters (MODOK, Magneto, Arthur, and Spencer) at the New York Comic Con, and all of Capcom’s major celebrities including producer Ryota Niitsuma and special advisor/community manager Seth [...]

There were so many people at the premiere last night that both theaters were maxed out. We are all exhausted but extremely happy with how it went. Below are photos from the red carpet and the screening. Enjoy!

If we can believe Capcom’s predictions for the final Marvel VS Capcom 3 character count (somewhere around 35 according to Seth Killian) then the roster is a little more than halfway revealed at this point. If we learned anything through all the hype and speculation it’s that nearly no comic, game, or character is off [...]

Superheroes don’t last. And like all superheroes, the actors who portray them must eventually hang up their capes and move on from the silver screen, super-ego boost. Perhaps it is a product of the comic book genre that the actor alter egos of our favorites heroes are replaced with Quicksilver-like speed. Have you ever tried [...]

One of the best parts of the Left 4 Dead 2 “The Passing” DLC, is the new Mutations mode. In this mode, gamers will be given a variety of new, otherwise inaccessible modes on a weekly basis. The first mode which was showcased in this fashion was Realism Versus, a versus mode that hampers the [...]

Videos, pictures, interviews, background info, and regular updates will be coming your way from Serbia, where Ralph is starring in [...]

It appears as if this generation’s Final Fantasies are following the pattern that last generation set for us. First, we have the awesome new release that re-defines the franchise (Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy XIII). Then, we have the MMO which will inevitably lose to World of Warcraft (Final Fantasy XI, Final Fantasy XIV). Then, [...]

Joe Johnston is blogging about his directing process on his current film, Captain America and his past films: The Wolfman, Jumanji, Jurassic Park III, and Hidalgo. Don’t ask him about Previz — he hates it.
