by Corey Dockendorf [ Wednesday, 6th of January 2010 - 02:34 PM ]

Below is a list of games that will no longer have multiplayer support as of February this year. EA says you can play these titles up until the actual shutdown date. Community programs could shut down earlier, depending on circumstances. A little surprise for you football buffs, Madden 09 is on this list for a February 9th shut down date. What does that mean, that means you're gonna have to shell out some cash for Madden 10 if you want to get online and get your fix.Be sure to note which platforms are being shut down, not all titles are being shut down on all platforms, so make sure you take a good look as to which platforms will no longer be available.

A few months ago we reported on the parody-rich continuation of Matt Hazard's first adventure, Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard. This entry in the series, the downloadable Blood, Bath, and Beyond, is billed as a classic side-scroller to confront the evil General Neutronov, who has traveled back in time to capture 8-bit version of our hero.The strategy? Kill the original so that the current version of Matt will not exist to stop him. Read More…

With the Holidays finally over and a brand new year ahead of us, Nintendo starts the new year with a bang... or at least with a bit of spice. Your cooking skills will be put to the test with Hell's Kitchen Vs, or maybe you'd rather duke it out in Final Fight 3. Let's see how good you really are when you play Pub Darts. Here is where I give you the break down of this week's Nintendo Downloads. Nintendo DSiWareTrajectilePublisher: NintendoPlayers: 1ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)Price: 500 Nintendo DSi Points™Description: Trajectile is a puzzle game that's as much about firepower as it is about brainpower, requiring you to line up your shot and launch a flurry of missiles at enemy targets.

Holiday Gaming Memories

by Kevin [ Tuesday, 29th of December 2009 - 08:50 PM ]

Now that Christmas has come and gone, we reflect on the joys of the holiday and the time we now have to enjoy the fruits of commercialism. Pull up a chair, and grab your favorite console, and take a listen - it's story time.There was a time before Halo, before Uncharted, a time of purity. An age of gaming declared glorious in its simplicity. It was dubbed 8-bit. It was pure pixeled perfection, and it was a time of punishing difficulty, limited continues, and precision timing.

Uncharted: Santa's Fortune

by Kevin [ Friday, 25th of December 2009 - 02:21 PM ]

Well, with holidays comes gifts of some sort and the fine folks at Naughty Dog are at it again. Instead of overweight Drakes however, this time you'll get characters adorned with Christmas hats and a Double Cash weekend.This go round it will be from Thursday, December 24, 2009, at 10:00 AM PST through Sunday, December 27, 2009, at 11:00 AM PST.

Steam Achievements Added to Torchlight

by Brian Bentley [ Wednesday, 23rd of December 2009 - 04:35 PM ]

We, as humans, are a competitive, goal-oriented species. The category of humans known as gamers are characteristically more so. So when little goals outside of the main game play were created on platforms this console generation (Achievements on Xbox 360 and Steam, trophies on the PS3), gamers took to them with a ferocity only matched by the public's outrage to the release of Coke 2. The obsession with achievements has grown to the point that people will go out of their way to grind away for hours, simply to have the tiny extrinsic award. As a bit of an afterthought and most likely a reward to the fans, last week Runic Games released over 60 achievements that may be earned on Steam for their critically acclaimed action-RPG Torchlight.

Nintendo and Xbox want to Monitor your health

by Corey Dockendorf [ Tuesday, 22nd of December 2009 - 03:14 AM ]

Ever wonder what it would be like to hook yourself up to your Xbox or Nintendo Wii and have it monitor certain vitality signs, use the data to change your avatar accordingly, or tell you what your feeling during certain points of a video game. Imagine status updates but from your internal Biology, take that Facebook!Microsoft recently patented tracking of players physical characteristics and converting that information to reflect on your avatar. Of course a third party device would have to be created first, but Microsoft would pick up all the info and beam it into your Xbox Live account, making your Avatar look more like you. Read More…

Review: Little Big Planet PSP

by Binh Nguyen [ Monday, 21st of December 2009 - 06:03 PM ]

“Play, Create, Share” is the motto for the newest Playstation Portable game Little Big Planet PSP. We all know how Little Big Planet when released for the Playstation 3; winning awards left and right and managing to win Game of the Year in many publications like GamePro, Edge and Eurogamer.

Review: God of War Collection - GoWII

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 18th of December 2009 - 03:49 PM ]

Continuing from the God of War Review from a few weeks ago, the beginning part of the Collection, we bring you God of War II. Which as you would think, continues the story of Kratos and his fight against the Gods and Titans from Greek mythology. Only this time with a little bit more twists and a quasi surprise ending that some could kind of see coming. At least if you know your mythology. Before I get to much further in, let me answer a question you may have. Read More…
