Here we go with another rhythm game coming into the mix of things. Pun totally intended. The game this time is DJ Hero 2. The follow up and expansion on from last year's DJ Hero that let gamers hop into the world of "professional" DJing. Like every other title in the rhythm genre there are some new additions outside of the core track list. Some good, some not so good and some just kind of "What The F**k?" Let me break it all down for you and let you know if you should actually pick up a copy of DJ Hero 2. Read More...

Splatterhouse is going to be violent. There is no doubt to that at all. Queue the question… But how violent is it? Well if you look below, you can get a view of some of the new shots of some of the "Splatter Kills" in the game. These are some of those over the top finishing moves that Rick will be performing at your behest. These apparently are the mild ones too as some have been rumored to cause dry heaves in the developer's studio. While I am sure that Splatterhouse's special and stylized kill moves will be awesome and unique, I have doubts that they will have the same effect on us desensitized gamers. Read More...

Heavy Rain was my first real endeavor into the "crime drama" genre of video games. I am talking real crime drama style here as well. After watching the below trailer for L.A. Noire, I think I might be making the jump back into a genre that has only caught my eye once. While there is not much given away, I will say that it looks to be an intense experience with some crazy events that will transpire. It is RockStar after all. Also another thing to note, just like the previously mentioned Heavy Rain, the facial and character movements seem to be pushing the envelope. Read More...

What do I mean by that? Well it looks like Nintendo has filed with the U.S. Patent&Trademark Office to actually trademark the phrase "It's On Like Donkey Kong." Yea… All because of the new Donkey Kong game coming out for the Wii here in the coming weeks. It's like they see people using that phrase more in all forms of media because they are cashing in on gamer nostalgia again. It only took them almost 30 years to actually do this. Honestly, what do they plan on getting from this? Read More...

The Heavens and Earth have been divided and the darkness has taken over. Send in the holy crusaders to help purge the land of all things evil and open up the pathway to Heaven and God. In this case the crusader is Gabriel Belmont, a man out for vengeance as the dark powers killed his wife and have been destroying his homeland. Who better to take up the charge? A man with nothing personal to lose but holds the fate of the universe in his hands. Read More...

While I doubt this will be a game play mode for the upcoming Dead Space 2 multiplayer, that doesn't make the below trailer for the game any less creepy and awesome. Just about on par with the awesome "Twinkle Little Star" trailer from the first Dead Space. Which I will add, there is nothing creepier than having a three year old look at you and start singing that version at you in a cold, dark game room. Check it out. Pretty damn awesome huh?

No there is no crazy Ash reference or extra skin for the game. But there are a bunch of new screen shots showing off some great Boom Stick and Chainsaw action. Something I am sure that Ash would completely be on par with if he was locked in the West Mansion looking for his girlfriend. That's not all we got here though. These are also some shots from the Survival Arenas of Splatterhouse. For the uninitiated they are an "unlockable 20 rounds of unending horror which enable players to take on ever increasing waves of grotesque monsters in a test of endurance and strength. Read More...

Maybe it is just me, but the title of the upcoming DLC for Enslaved: Odyssey To The West really sounds like a porn title. If you have played the game and run into the titular character for this DLC it's even more likely that you can make that jump in logic. I mean the character Pigsy is, well, a pig when it comes to the female populace. To go further into the thought on the DLC, the premise from the sounds of it is that Pigsy is tired of being lonely and wants to build his perfect fembot. At least this is the sum up from the press release and trailer. Read More...

No, I'm not talking some Halloween park inspired by the game, although that would be awesome. (I just ©ed that.) Instead it is a glimpse of another location in the upcoming Splatterhouse "remake." Although I think that a different name should have been used, but hey, I guess Dandyland works. I do expect Namco to have a few "homophobic" articles to pop over this - just like Enslaved and the "racism." In the end though, that should be the last bit of news to surface for Splatterhouse. Well besides the game going Gold and locking in the November 23rd release date. Read More...

Kratos is back yet again to take on the gods for the torment they have put him through. Well kind of. Kratos is back to show the world why he was so pissed at the beginning of God of War 2 - not to mention that finally one of the original storylines for the franchise is brought into the mix. In fact, it is the pivotal point for the whole story this time. The focus revolving around Kratos having a brother that was taken to the Underworld. Read More...

So here we go again. Another rhythm game comes to the market, only this time it is one that is truly trying to innovate the genre. I am talking in more ways than just trying to add new ways to play songs in the way of four guitars or adding challenges to earn more points and "stars." Though we already knew that Rock Band 3 was adding in a new instrument and a "Learn To Play Real Instruments" mode, it's how they went about it that changes the genre. This of course makes Rock Band 3 more than just another game. Being that there is so much going on with Rock Band 3, I've decided to break it up into two reviews. Read More...

Why do I have a feeling that these crows are going to play a HUGE part of BioShock Infinite? I mean we all know it looks like there will be a Plasmid based around using a murder of crows, but is there going to be more than that? There also seems to be a lack of any other bird type in any of the visuals we have been shown thus far - unless you count angels, in the form of statues, as birds. I don't. If you haven't looked down by now, then I am telling you to seize the opportunity. Read More...

The devs working on the new rendition of Mortal Kombat have been nice enough to let us know all that is going on with Scorpion and why he is risking his unlife for revenge. Just in case we didn't get it from all the earlier titles, movies and every other Mortal Kombat based IP out there. It would seem so. In case you are a virgin to the Mortal Kombat story, have been hit in the head repeatedly, or both, let me recap. Scorpion blames Sub Zero for destroy himself and his entire clan. Read More...

Captain Smiley's very own comic has been canceled because it, well, sucked. Lame villains, corny jokes, bad dialog and it pretty much made no sense at all. So what is an unemployed comic book hero to do? Jump into other comics as a mercenary and help solve huge issues that may be going on. All in the hopes to get enough scratch together so Captain Smiley can bring back his own book. I kid you not. Read More...

So Saw II: Flesh And Blood hits selves next week just in time to ride all the hype from the upcoming film. Not to miss a beat, obviously Konami is going to throw some more screens out there to entice those of us that are fans of the franchise and interested in the game. Yes I am one of those said people hence why I try to keep you all up to date on what is going on here. Well it looks like in this most recent push that Jigsaw was inspired by Star Wars a bit. The old rust walls compacting in to crush the garbage that happens to be in between them. Read More...
