A Cool Look At What Halo Wars Brings To The Story With Halo Wars releasing today, yes slackers it came out today, the minds behind the game and over all story decided to bring everyone a cool little look at the game from the story side of things. YES GAMES HAVE STORY! Mixed in are few other people who just have strong opinions on the Halo franchise, but for the most part they have a fun, good ol' time with this video discussing things that all Halo fanatics, on the story side, want to know. I was at the Comic Con panel for this and yes there are those people out there. One thing that I find pretty cool for the over all story was the fact that they bring out in the game how the Spartans where not originally suppose to be "space marines. Read More…

View Of Sacred 2: Fallen Angel For those of you who are psyched for the new Action RPG Sacred 2: Fallen Angel, then you are in for some fun little eye candy.

Screen Shots of Dexter The Game Yes the title sounds like more news on the Saw game that may or may not have been canceled, but it is not. It's about Dexter The Game. Yes a game based on the Showtime show about a serial killer of killers. Let your mind wrap around that for a second. Got it? Good. Even though they might not look all that graphically impressive or even look to be a killer game, pun intended, one thing to keep in mind, this is an iPhone app game. So these visuals are from "cell phone." But some cool things to keep in mind about this is that the developers are trying to keep some of the tech in mind. Read More…

Viewing your PlayStation Trophies on PlayStation.com For a while since launch, PS3 owners had been waiting to get the Achievement Trophy system to show off how awesome they are. Allowing friends and other users of said PS3 to check them out and even compare. It was a long time waiting for them and being jealous of the XBox for having their system going. But there was much rejoicing when they came. But they didn't come in a way to show off everything online on say the pwned your favorite gaming forums. Read More…

Every now and again, I'll look for a title that may have fallen through the cracks or that I know is new to some and familiar to others. More often than not it'll be a title that either caused my head to implode or really seemed to fall below the radar.Noby Noby Boy is a little title for the PS3 by Keita Takahashi, the creator of the Katamari Damacy series.

Also I did NOT get the mythic map pack with my review copy so please don't ask me how the mythic map pack was.Many of you are probably excited to play Ensemble Studios final game, Halo Wars.
