The stress test for the latest Street Fighter V beta build in the North American region begins this week for all those Street Fighter fans Talk about one hell of a turnaround as it looks like the Street Fighter V "beta" stress test for the North American region is upon us sooner than speculated. In fact by the time some of you are reading this Capcom will have turned on the flood gates for all of those PC and PS4 gamers to try and bring down the Street Fighter V servers. Not via hacking or anything but by sheer amount of players trying to beat each other down over their network and in the game. I hope no one gets any wise ideas here as this Street Fighter V "beta" has been trying to get rolled out for some time now and it looks like the wait is over…for now. Read More...

New screenshots for LEGO Dimensions show off a few of the brave new worlds we will be saving when traversing the LEGO Dimensions universe Up until now we've been getting LEGO Dimensions based on the individual worlds or dimensions that we will be exploring in the game when it comes on September 27th. All kinds of new worlds will be added to our PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Wii Us via TT Games' amazing undertaking and foray into a new genre of video games. Unlike before though, in this new update we have a nice new look at a few of the LEGO Dimensions worlds all mixed into one update. Read More...

The launch trailer for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain has been released and it is full of nostalgia and new gameplay just for The Phantom Pain We are now officially a week out from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's release on the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC. Next Tuesday, September 1st we will be giving Kojima Productions' final foray into the Metal Gear franchise before departing Konami and moving on to other things. It will be a sad time but it looks like The Phantom Pain will be bringing us so much joy and "ultimate story" that we can overlook all of that and just pine for the game when not in our hands. The Phantom Pain has looked to be one of those titles that have the ability to last for quite some time even if you don't take part in the online multiplayer aspect of it all. Read More...

A new developer diary and screenshots for SOMA have been released all focusing on the atmosphere and sounds that will inspire fear in SOMA Given that SOMA is supposed to be a horror-like title it would make sense that there are a lot of creepy sounds during the game. Same goes with the fact that it is a Sci-Fi title as well so we should be expecting a whole lot of that as well. SOMA wouldn't be the title that Frictional Games is pushing if these elements were not present as we all should know that sound and music help drive emotions and tone in video games. Well, any form of media, but we are talking SOMA and we are talking video games here. Read More...

A stealthier version of the Rise Of The Tomb Raider demo that was shown off at Gamescom has been released to show combat doesn't have to be used in Rise Of The Tomb Raider If you were like me then you were most likely let down with the first showcase of Rise Of The Tomb Raider during Gamescom. It was claimed to be a stealth gameplay demo just for the show but there was a lot more combat mixed in and a lot less stealth than we should expect in Rise Of The Tomb Raider. It looks like Crystal Dynamics heard or read the outcry there as they have just released a new version of that "stealth" Rise Of The Tomb Raider gameplay footage only this time they really do mean stealth as Lara makes her way through the same area without trying to kill or injure a single person in Rise Of The Tomb Raider. Usually I am all about the killing to get rid of those pesky guards in games like Rise Of The Tomb Raider but that just has never been Lara's style before and more along the lines of Agent 47.

Ten new tracks have been added to Rock Band 4's on disk listing with some obscure bands and other favorites sure to make Rock Band 4 amazing October 6th is getting closer every day and that means Rock Band 4 is getting closer and closer to launch too. We've already had a wide spread of songs revealed for the game from Harmonix and today we have a few more. Ten more Rock Band 4 songs to be exact and these of course are going to be on the disc and not DLC tracks. This puts at about 44 songs on the Rock Band 4 disc by my count and that is ignoring all of the DLC we will have to carry over to the PS4 and Xbox One when that release date finally comes.

A gameplay demo for Resident Evil 0 Remaster from E3 has been finally released for the world to see and compare how far the upgrades are bringing the game It seems weird to be talking about this now but we have the E3 demo of Resident Evil 0 Remaster live and ready for all of you to view. It only took Capcom about two months and a few conventions to finally allow this footage of the demo out to the world but at least we have it. Up until now most of us only had the Resident Evil 0 Remaster E3 trailer to look at in terms of visuals and how the game may have been upgraded for the next gen systems. Now we have one of the community poorly playing through the ten minute demo just for us to see Resident Evil 0 Remaster. Read More...

Well at least in terms of releasing the four of the five episodes out on Steam for République so far. Yes, this is another episodic title that we can all look forward to next year on the PS4 from GungHo Online. Read More...

Looks like the rumors from March are now true as PlayStation is allowing members to sign up to beta test new firmware for the PS4 Way back in March of this year rumors started springing up that PlayStation users would be getting a firmware beta program for the PS4. Nothing was concrete and set in stone back then as this was all based on a few emails and screen shots that could have been faked. Well it turns out they were not faked as right now PS4 owners who want to give new firmware a try can sign up to beta test on their systems. Because this is apparently a thing that PS4 owners have wanted so their Xbox One buddies would stop having something to gloat about. Read More...

A new promotional video for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain has been released teasing that we will get the answers we've waited decades for It's a little crazy to think that we've been playing Metal Gear Solid games for almost thirty years. Twenty eight to be exact and it has been one hell of a ride that Kojima has taken us on over the years. I guess that will make the ending of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain much more emotional as it will be an end to a rather lengthy run. Konami has said they want to keep the franchise rolling but The Phantom Pain will be the end of the franchise with the man who started it all. Read More...

A promotional video for LEGO Dimensions has just been released and it features new LEGO Dimensions gameplay and a cartoon short just for Scooby and the gang The worlds don't seem to end in LEGO Dimensions as now we get to see Scooby and the gang in action for the game.

Now we get to see the two most famous of the Mystery Inc. team in action as imagined by TT Games in LEGO Dimensions. Read More...

Nothing in way of new gameplay or new features that Disney is going to have to share but it looks like we have another world to add to the announcement of Tangled. In this case it looks like Big Hero 6 is breaking its way into world of Kingdom Hearts and adding to the growing list. Read More...
