Rumor Mill: Wii Successor to Hit Shelves in 2011

by Ben Brody [ Thursday, 2nd of October 2008 - 01:36 AM ]

They dubbed it Wii HD. HD = High Definition Graphics. What, you thought Nintendo wasn't gonna go there? According to "sources" (aka the "they" from above) that have seen a presentation on the next Wii (keep in mind that this next step is going to be akin to the NES going to the SNES as opposed to the SNES going to the N64, in other words, much of everything is staying the same, however it will have better graphics), it will include High Definition graphics, a larger storage medium of either a hard drive or a much larger flash memory, and tweaked controllers. While it is not said whether or not they will use Blu-Ray they have stated that they would like to implement full backwards compatibility (the Wii optical discs currently use regular DVD standards). While not much more is known on this Wii HD, I'll keep you posted on what happens. Read More…

EA Cancels Command & Conquer FPS After Realizing That Game Already Exists

by Ben Brody [ Thursday, 2nd of October 2008 - 01:15 AM ]

Okay, so not many of you may remember the 2002 game Command & Conquer: Renegade but it was CNC's first, and so far only, foray into the FPS genre. That was about to change in 2009 with EA's Tiberium (it would've been the first game without the Command and Conquer prefix), a first person shooter based in 2058, about 11 years after the third Tiberium war. In a statement released by EA on Tuesday, it was revealed that the reason for the cancellation was due to poor quality. Here is the full statement of it's cancellation by EA's Mariam Sughayer: "EA has suspended work on Tiberium effective immediately. Read More…

Pandora Open Source Gaming Thingamajig up for Pre-Orders: Dozens Jump For Joy

by Ben Brody [ Thursday, 2nd of October 2008 - 01:11 AM ]

Pandora's open source, Linux running, QWERTY keyboard packing, dual analog stick containing, 800x480 4.3" touchscreen having machine finally is available from GBAX. While some of you may be questioning the $329.99 price point that costs approximately $130 more than something that is better that is actually made for games, the fact that it runs Linux and a host of other free programs and games is a little tantalizing, even moreso with the touchscreen.

Fable 2 Collector's Edition Stripped Near Bare

by Michael Camacho [ Wednesday, 1st of October 2008 - 09:24 PM ]

Looks like Lionhead Studios have dropped the ball once again. As if possibly not having online co-op at release wasn't bad enough for those gamers waiting for Fable 2, those who preordered the Collector's Edition will be sorely disappointed in finding that it has been stripped nearly bare. Gone are the Collector's Case, the Fate Cards, and no Hobble Figure. Lionhead blames supply chain issues on this problem, and with only weeks left before the release, it causes on to wonder how this could have happened. They have decided to drop the price to $69.

Ratner Of War

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 1st of October 2008 - 05:37 PM ]

Brett Ratner Signs On For God Of War Movie Yesterday, it was announced that the man behind the last X-men movie and Rush Hour 3 has signed on to direct the God of War film. Now I know what you are thinking, "There goes another great game ruined by a film." I know I thought it at first as well. Especially looking at the last films directed by the man. But then I started thinking further, a stretch I know, and came to another conclusion. It isn't all just down to him. Read More…

Gold With A Bit Of Awesome

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 1st of October 2008 - 04:47 PM ]

Dead Space Has Gone Gold So they announced today that Dead Space has gone gold. No surprise there with the release date no more than two weeks away. And that they have bumped the release date forward twice now. So like I said, no big surprise with that announcement, but there is a cool little extra that they are offering up for those people who purchase and play the game before the original release date they posted. See below, there is some cool exclusive downloadable outfits for the game. Dependable on the system you get the game on. Read More…

by Michael Camacho [ Wednesday, 1st of October 2008 - 04:01 PM ]

The Rock Band 2 registration site is now up and running for those looking to get their 20 songs via download. While the songs aren't available yet, you can register now, so Harmonix can e-mail you the download code when they become available in a few weeks. Also while filling out the form, it has a comment box where you can suggest Bands & Songs you would like to see on Rock Band 2. Unfortunately, no word on what will be included in this 20 song DLC as of yet. I personally hope they throw in some J-Rock, but I know it's all wishful thinkin. Read More…

Wii Are Old And Fit

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 30th of September 2008 - 04:14 PM ]

Video Gamers Surprisingly Fit and Older Yes, the title was a bit misleading, but it was what I could think up for this article. Deal with it. :) But that doesn't make this latest study any less interesting for the world of gaming, especially for online gaming. Since this is where most of the test data came from. This study was pulled out of about 7000 people on EverQuest servers. At least partly. Read More…

[XBox 360 Review] Pirates Vs Ninjas Dodgeball

by Michael Camacho [ Tuesday, 30th of September 2008 - 03:19 PM ]

I will be one of the first to admit that when I heard about Pirates vs. Ninja Dodge ball, I was genuinely intrigued and interested. Unfortunately, the game is very quick to disappoint on any expectations you may have had. Which is unfortunate, as this game could have been a very fun Xbox Live Arcade title. The game, as the title suggests, features Pirates and Ninjas playing dodge ball against each other, as well as Robots and Zombies. It has 3 different modes in Singleplayer, Multiplayer and Co-op, each of which has its own game types. Read More…

Something Familiar At Blizzcon

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 30th of September 2008 - 03:03 PM ]

DirectTV's new host for Blizzcon 08! - Becky 'Aktrez' Young! If you were not able to snag up a Blizzcon ticket in the first go around, you were most likely sad. Then there came the second boost of tickets that flooded the market and got snagged up in mere minutes. So I bet you were sad again. Then Blizzard responded with, "Well if you can't be there in person, then we will televise it for you, for a small fee." So then you could be a bit happier. But then they just announced something that should make this site a bit happier about that. Read More…

The 12th Anniversary of the N64

by Sam [ Tuesday, 30th of September 2008 - 05:16 AM ]

Yesterday, the 29th, was the 12th anniversary of the N64 and I completely forgot all about it. I wish I knew ahead of time so I could celebrate by playing all the great games I grew up with. But cheers to Nintendo for bringing 12 years of epicness into our lives and we the Nintendo fans hope to see another 12 years of great success. Read More…

CoD4 For Mac Review

by Andy [ Tuesday, 30th of September 2008 - 04:28 AM ]

As you may have read here before, Call of Duty 4 was coming to the Mac. All this time, the release date was constantly pushed back, frustrating us mac users. So now the time has come that you can now have CoD4 for the mac, and I must say it is just as good as I would of hoped it would be. You are able to download the game or purchase the actual game itself. There is quite a bit of controversy around the DRM that Aspyr has implemented. At first glance, 54. Read More…
