Who likes seeing new stuff about their favorite franchises? Who likes hearing about updates to their favorite games? Who wants to see some of the big heads of the big EA games coming out or out already telling you what we have to look forward to in the coming year, all before the big push at E3 in a month? That's right you do. If you don't, then you better want to. Read More...

Today Nintendo and the American Heart Association announced a partnership to get you off your couch and be active. Throwing around various statistics and knowing gamers, the two powerhouses look to empower gamers to become active, make time for exercise and enjoy getting fit. Along with the announcement comes the unveiling of a new website to inform users of how they can get involved at home using Nintendo products and across the country with AHA's Start! Heart Walks. As much as I want to be cynical and sarcastic about how this is simply a business move to sell more Wii's or how the AHA is just piggybacking on the success of Nintendo's console or how it is only a vehicle to sell the Wii Vitality Sensor, I'm going to restrain myself, be positive and optimistic.

Have you ever been excited for a game's release, and somehow found a way to ruin the game experience due to your own mistake? I guess in my case, it's more stupidity than a mistake. What I am about to recount is how I went from being in Heaven to dragging myself through Hell in a matter of 10 days. This is my story on how my attempt to review Record of Agarest War went sour and the lessons I learned. As a gamer that is very keen on the import scene, I had heard of Record of Agarest War when it was first released in Japan in late 2007. I was intrigued by the reported dating aspects, the Soul Breeding the game touted and being able to play through story through multiple generations. Read More...

I swear to the gods that Naughty Bear, like Micheal Bay, love to use things from our pasts and childhoods. Fortunately, unlike Micheal Bay, destroying them is not the case in these "Nightmare" videos. Aliens and The Blair Witch Project already got the "Nightmare" redition done by Naughty Bear, so you must be wondering what is next? Well if you really don't want to see the fun, I'll give you a hint. It's not Event Horizon. Read More...

Now correct me if I am wrong, but isn't this latest multiplayer mode for Kane and Lynch 2 look extremely close to the story of Die Hard With A Vengeance? Take a team down a section of a subway tunnel and through a hole you've made to steal money from a bank. Sounds pretty damn close, if you take out all the other mind games from the film. Looks like Bruce Willis is getting a small homage in the game for playing the balding Kane in the film version of the franchise. Or I could just be looking into this a bit more than is needed.

Get ready Modern Warfare 2 fans! The second add-on to the immensely popular title has finally been announced. The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2: Resurgence Pack will be released exclusively on XBox LIVE June 3rd. All that was announced today was the date and that it will include five mulitplayer maps. No word yet on pricing or what maps will be included. Let's face it. Read More...

For a game that is all about being naughty, I will say that the list of achievements, and we can safely assume trophies, is kind of on the not so naughty side. Filled more with irony and secrecy if you ask me. Not to mention a few homages to other great franchises, namely Resident Evil sticks out from the list below. But where are the naughty titles for these things? I mean where is the Blowing Your Load or That's What She Said titles? Read More...

There is no dispute that God of War is one of the top grossing games that is exclusive to the Sony PlayStation. Just as there is no dispute that I am one of the world's largest fans of the franchise. With large franchises, of course, there is always going to be merchandising and off-shoots to keep the power house rolling. God of War is not being any different with PSP and mobile game offshoots, toys, clothes and even an awesome new comic book. But when is there going to be enough? Read More...

It has been two months since the release of Final Fantasy XIII on the PlayStation 3 and XBox 360. Some – including myself – were among the many people who began playing on release day, just clamoring for the return to the Final Fantasy series. Meanwhile, others lost interest in the game or are saving the experience in order to play titles that were released around the same time (read: God Of War III). I’ve compiled a list of things to remember about the game as you ready yourself for a 60+ hour dive into this mammoth role playing game. The voice acting is not movie quality. Read More...

With Mike out sick, Brian and Binh turn to fellow Aggrogamer writer Corey Dockendorf to fill the gaping maw.  What we've been playing has talk of Starcraft II, Beat Hazard and a ton of MMOs.

So have you been curious on how the multiplayer aspect of Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days is going to look? Or have you been curious on how it will actually be implemented through story or any other way? Well ponder not so much any more. We have a new look at the multiplayer for Kane and Lynch 2. One of which is a very fun descriptive, and audio non-safe for work, clip describing what is going on. While I am not a big fan of multiplayer in games, in fact I think it can ruin a game in some cases, the multiplayer for Kane and Lynch looks like an interesting twist. I mean, your allies and team mates can turn on you at any moment if I heard and saw that right in the clip here. Read More...

So have you ever wondered what would happen when you take two online services and have them work together as one? Well wonder no more as Blizzard Entertainment announced today that Battle.net gaming service will integrate with Facebook. Thats right, more of a reason why you should have Facebook. Blizzard first step is to have StarCraft II players to quickly add Blizzard gamers who are friends on Facebook to their Battle.net friend list. “We are pleased to be working with Facebook to integrate their platform with Battle.

With the success of God of War III, Sony has just announced that our favorite Spartan will be making his return to the Sony PSP and PSPgo in God of War: Ghost of Sparta. Why are they making another God of War game you may ask? Probably going to kill more Greek Gods. God of War: Chains of Olympus is still the highest rated PSP title of all-time according to Metacritic.com. So what is in store for us this time around. Read More...

Well there's not much else to report here except go here to get your hands on one of the best PC-exclusive action titles ever released. Nothing streamlined or dumbed down for the console, just pure 30 button action at its best. There have been some reports of server issues, but they seem to have been resolved. I personally think this is an awesome move that will have a short term loss, long term gain for Microsoft (who has finally released one of my favorite IP's), as well as Smith and Tinker - a new developer who has taken the reins for Mechwarrior 5. There are no profits to be found by doing this, but what they will get is the love and respect of the huge Mechwarrior fanbase. Read More...

No snappy opening lines or any of the crap. Its time to get serious! Blizzard Entertainment has announced today that StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty will arrive in stores in the United States, Canada, Europe, South Korea, Australia (They didn't ban this game? Shocker!), New Zealand, Russia, Mexico, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and the regions of Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau on July 27, 2010. Players will also be able to buy the game via directly from Blizzard Entertainment after the retail release. “We've been looking forward to revisiting the StarCraft universe for many years, and we're excited that the time for that is almost here,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment.
