Well, there's nothing quite like a 50% off coupon for games, and I think we can all agree that when the games available for that deal are actually good then that makes the deal that much sweeter. Microsoft has a nice little deal going on over at the Microsoft Store for some select titles. There are a nice amount games on the list right now and I think after you look over it, you'll be making your way to the website. The list of games includes: Tony Hawk: RIDE Skateboard Bundle NCAA Football 10 Madden NFL 10 Street Fighter IV Resident Evil 5 The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Overlord II Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution DJ Hero Bundle Mercenaries 2: World in Flames Star Ocean: The Last Hope Ghostbusters: The Video Game Infinite Undiscovery Battlefield: Bad Company Batman: Arkham Asylum Where the Wild Things Are Lego Star Wars Complete Saga The Orange Box Army of Two Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 10 Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 Guitar Hero Metallica NBA 2K10 Spider-Man: Friend or Foe Rock Band Track Pack Classic Rock Guitar Hero: Smash Hits Guitar Hero World Tour Guitar Kit X-Men Origins: Wolverine Uncaged Edition Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Bioshock Spider-Man: Web of Shadows Shaun White Snowboarding Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood FUEL Left 4 Dead 2 Tom Clancy's H.

Well here you go true believers. Officially debuting on the great internets is the trailer for Marvel Super Hero Squad Online. Gods that is a long ass title. From here on it will be, MSHSO. Long title or no, that doesn't disregard the fact that now we can take a look at one of the rendered videos for MSHSO. At least what looks like an intro to the game that isn't coming out until next year sometime. So they have time to shorten the title or find something catchy. Read More…

Wal-Mart, one of the reigning kings of discount department stores, is entering the on-line space occupied by places like Amazon. Gamecenter is "a one-shop stop for all the greatest news and previews and exclusives." Currently, the deals I see on the site involve providing gift-eCards for certain purchases, a "buy 2, get 1 free" for XBox 360 Platinum Hits, and if you pre-order three games you'll get a $50 gift card. The games have to be from a pre-defined list, and they do all have to be for the same platform though. Not bad. Read More…

So you've read the comics. You've seen the film, most likely. You hopefully listened to the developer's call. Now you might be wondering if you should go through with playing Iron Man 2 the video game. Well let me tell you my thoughts to hopefully make up your mind on what you should do, or at least make a small impact on which way you sway. Before we get into the nitty gritty, I do want to warn that this game is based on the film. But only based as in it is in the same world as the film's events and also uses two of the cast for voice overs. Read More…

To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Pac-Man, Google has done one of the coolest things with their logo in recent memory, transforming it into a playable stage of the classic game. Though I hesitate to think that this will be a trend and will lead to more video game related logos for Google, it's good to see that when they decide to introduce something gaming related they actually make it interactive and not static. You can start the game by "inserting a coin" or by waiting ten seconds before the game starts automatically. Pac-Man has been one of the constants of gaming since 1980, and was introduced when the more popular games of the time were space shooters like Asteroids. Read More…

Well now this is an interesting new way to get the word out about Alpha Protocol. Music video/remix style. I am not kidding. Also, before you think it, this is not a fan film for the game either, but something specifically produced from Sega and Obsidian for Alpha Protocol. Silly yes, but it is worth a watch. Kind of catchy if you ask me. Even though it sounds like it is just a long argument over Michael's name. Read More…

Red Dead Redemption is Rockstar San Diego's newly released sandbox genre game. Despite many delayed release dates, reports of troubled working conditions, and an overblown development budget making profitability unlikely, the game has come out to much critical acclaim and rightly so. Red Dead Redemption is a sequel to the 2004 XBox and PS2 release Red Dead Revolver. Red Dead Redemption stars outlaw turned government agent John Marston. The Clint Eastwood-like spaghetti western plot revolves around Mr. Read More…

In case you were wondering the same thing the title is, let us answer that for you. It is the name of the time manipulation tool you get to use in the game. Well, that was an easy explanation. I guess I'll leave ya there. Or not. Below there is a better look at one of the functions of the device; A function that lets you place people or things into a "time bubble" to either kill or slow down. It also looks like you can make a form of slow-field as well to make dodging enemy fire that much easier. Kind of a nice little function to have in a FPS. Read More…

Well isn't this interesting? Or at least look a bit interesting? A huge muscle bound guy with a scythe running around killing everything in sight. All while his partner, a witch, casts magic at everything in hopes to harm them and help Mr. Muscles. What is this gem called? Knights Contract if you haven't started watching the video by now. Now after you watch the video, think to yourself, "Is this an odd mass-up of every fast action game I have ever played?" You got God of War and Dante's Inferno mixed together for the big guy.

Well BulletStorm was fully announced last week with a few nice shots and a video showing it of; Not to mention all the press of Cliff Bleszinski going crazy over all media outlets about it. He likes to talk and let people know what he thinks doesn't he? But I'm side tracking now. His socializing online isn't what is going on here. What is going on here though is that we have scrounged up some new screen shots from EA for BulletStorm. Well at least mostly new. Read More…

The first amendment is one of the few things that we Americans love to hide behind when we are not being cattle and following the "in" crowd. When we truly speak our minds and in turn get ridiculed or condemned for what we say; All because it is against the majority. But that doesn't make it any less a right we have been empowered with so we can say what we want without much worry. You know who we have to thank for that, our great military men and women who go out under orders and slaughter those who would slap our hands with rulers for saying "poopie." So in honor of those men and women, I give you the First Amendment version of the Call of Duty: Black Ops trailer. Read More…

Am I right or am I right? I mean look at these new screen shots for Quantum Theory and tell me they don't look like the team from Gears of War are not running in a new world. Or I mean a living tower. Not that the scenes and graphics look bad, it just looks a lot like stuff we have already had hashed out to us a plethora of times. But I guess these are not all about the story and why the characters look the way they do. They are about how the game is going to look in whole, so let's look at it from that perspective. Read More…

Visceral Games just likes killing babies. Or at least that is how it seems from their games. First you get to slaughter the unbaptized ones in Dante's Inferno. Now, for the screens below, it looks like you get to kill "infected" babies in Dead Space 2. Infected and with Cthulhu growing out their back babies. Ok, well those ones need killing I guess... What also needs killing is the person who took these screen captures as well. Read More…

Blizzcon 2010 returns to the Anaheim Conventions center October 22nd and 23rd, and tickets are going on sale Wednesday, June 2nd at 7 pm PST and on Saturday June 5th at 10 am PST. Blizzard has learned from the past Blizzcon's the overwhelming response from the player community, and will be selling tickets in batches, to give everyone an opportunity to get in on the action. For those that remember the Failoc-alypse from last year, hopefully Blizzard will be better prepared this year. Although with so many titles in the work and hopefully new news about Diablo III (release date? Read More…
