Darksiders II will be a part of the Wii U launch title crowd, and the Wii U version of Darksiders II will contain some additional content. Maybe this time around Death will actually get to have a mouth. That does seem like a bit of an oversight. I’m guessing the publisher had to make some cuts, and the mouth was the first thing to go. They probably figured that he could speak with his fists,...
Read More »Majesco Entertainment announced the release of Double Dragon: Neon. It is available on the Playstation Network and Xbox Live Arcade. Double Dragon: Neon is a sidescrolling beat ‘em up; one of those game types that are all the rage these days because they were all the rage 20 years ago and apparently both the industry and the indie market is completely out of ideas. And why bother making new ...
Read More »YoYo Games, the company behind GameMaker, announced an update to GameMaker: Studio. For those unfamiliar with GameMaker, it’s a service that allows you to make games; the name pretty much says it all.

Read More »Square Enix has announced a UK exclusive clothing partnership with Trapstar to create a Hitman: Absolution collection, which will launch on November 20th. The collection will use imagery from the game such as barcodes, reticules, and the number 47. What about the latex-clad nuns?

Read More »Eurogamer Expo announced that Chet Faliszek, a writer for Valve, will be doing a session on game development. The session will be hosted for two days, and will be entitled, “How to give yourself a job in the game industry?” That is a really good question. Hopefully this session will point people in the right direction. It is planned to give advice on how to break into the industry to p...
Read More »This week, eight more tracks have been revealed for We Sing 80s. I know you all have been anxiously awaiting this announcement, since the We Sing series has swept the world. This title has caused nothing but anarchy. People can’t eat, they can’t sleep, and they refuse to go to work because they feel compelled to sing along to lesser known songs from forgotten eras. It’s been abso...
Read More »An anonymous source close to a major UK mobile carrier claims that the iPhone 5 will release September 21 in stores throughout the UK. Pre-orders may be available on September 14. There are additional pieces of information that appear to confirm this rumor. For example, FedEx is expecting a “surge in volume” between September 21-24. Of course, it could simply be that this is the time w...

Read More »The beloved Sam & Max series is now 25 years old, and to commemorate that, there is going to be a sale. If you remember the release of the game, you’re old too. I don’t remember it because I wasn’t born yet, but I want to make it clear that if you do remember it you’re not too far away from getting those sweet senior discounts I hear are so popular. I’m looking fo...
Read More »The EA Sports Challenge Series is back with a $1,000,000 tournament. What’s amazing about this announcement is the overwhelming amount of corporate branding on it. It hurts my eyes just a little bit, and I can feel the tears of the graphic designer who had to make the site. I’m sure they were told to make all of the logos “pop,” causing the designer to go home, pour themsel...
