While other sites are taking the easy correlation to subtitle for Silent Hill: Downpour and the amount of screen shots we just had showered on us, I am going to take the high ground and not make an easy pun. Have to keep it classy and not say that Konami let loose the flood gates with these screen shots. Also not say that here's a monsoon of new looks at Silent Hill: Downpour. We are so much higher brow here. Read More...

Rockstar Games just released a new game play trailer for their upcoming title, L.A. Noire. Oh and the release date of May 17th here in the US. We can all rejoice in the fact that the next Rockstar game is not too far off. Blah blah blah…oh and the trailer is added below for you to watch and get your panties in a bunch over. But before you watch this trailer try something for me, just listen to the audio first and then watch the trailer. The voice acting and sound effects sound like you are watching a great film trailer or a snippet from a great TV show. Read More...

Almost like it has been twelve years or something and a lot of attempts and such downs but at least it is still on. On and launching on May 3rd here in the US. It is almost too hard to believe, but the below screen shots and trailer for the game are below and I don't think that Gearbox would be that cruel to tease us with a fake video and shots. At least I am hoping not. All kidding aside, it is true that this is no hoax and everything you are about to see is real and we'll get to play it here in a few months. Read More...

So just as Sony did when GoWIII was hitting its console, Epic is doing the same for GoW3 for the 360. Those titles being God of War III and Gears of War 3 respectfully before I move on. So yes this means that if for some reason you held out on getting either of the Gears of War titles, you can look forward to getting a combo pack with both of those games on disc to catch you up with everything before the big daddy hits. Since it is all about the number three here you also are getting the Gears of War 2: All Fronts Collection. That of course makes it a technical three titles in one box. Read More...

Well here is an interesting twist to the whole Final Fantasy XIII ten year plan. Just announced is the oddly named Final Fantasy XIII-2, a continuation to the story of FFXIII. I say it is odd because Square Enix tried this before with FFX-2 which didn't do as well as any of their wholly new story lined titles with Final Fantasy in the title. Yes I know I used the title way too many times there. Sue me. Read More...

Well here's an interesting little tidbit of news. Any gamer that purchases Portal 2 on the PlayStation 3 will get FREE access to play the game from their Steam client. Think like a digital copy that comes with most BluRay films nowadays. Oh, but wait, there is more. Not only do you get a "free" copy of the game for PC, and technically Mac, but the two systems will be able to communicate with each other to allow for co-op play between the PS3 and PC/Mac. By communicate I am not only talking for play, but you will be able to actually chat with the other player and I'm not talking by screaming really loud. In game chat for those who still didn't get it. Read More...

Ok, so I might have to eat my previous words about the reboot for Tomb Raider. I may have been a bit quick to judge but in my defense that was back before anything real or tangible had been seen. I mean all we had was a rather unimpressive description of the story. Well now we have a good look at the new vision that Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix are taking the game. I will have to say I am extremely impressed with what we have here. I mean with the Left/Right Trigger prompt being on the screen I think it is safe to assume that we are looking at game play shots here too. Read More...

If there is one person in the industry that I think is a little full of himself it is Cliff Bleszinski. He has been a huge influence and factor in some of the largest FPS titles out there. I get that. I respect him for that for the most part as well. I just wish he'd get over himself and the online "fame" he claims to have or that those fan boy/girls give him. Just because he is vocal doesn't make the man any more important. But now I am off the topic of why I even brought up "Cliffy B. Read More...

At last year's CES we were introduced to a product called Sixense. It was a motion controller being made by one of the smaller companies Razor had under its wing. Sixense was a really cool device with A LOT of potential, but nothing seems to have happened over the last year. Well at least nothing all too public. While wandering the booths of CES the AggroGamer team happened upon the new design and updated controller in the wild. Something we almost missed out on as it has been give then new name of Hydra and an extremely different design. Read More...

What would you do if you were forced to have a night out with Mileena from Mortal Kombat? What would the minds that put her together in the game want to do? Well we get answers to that and a few extras in the below video we have to bring you. Those extras by the way are some fun new game play with Mileena. Now while I personally wouldn't want to spend a night with Mileena, I do find some of the responses a bit funny. Like take her to a buffet and watch her go to town or the Thunder From Down Under responses. Read More...

CES is generally not known for the game developers rocking out their new products and IPs. That is what E3 is for and we all know that. Capcom likes to break the mold and show up in force every year just to spread a bit more of the word on all of their upcoming titles. In this case, the titles were Marvel vs. Capcom 3, MotoGP 10/11, Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 and Okamiden - all of which I was able to put hands on. Let the impressions begin! Read More...

With a FPS centered around awesome and mindless violence - mixed with some story somewhere - it is time to show a softer side of this seemingly ultraviolent game. What better way to do that than have the President of Epic Games in the shower sharing his inner thoughts about Bulletstorm. Sounds on par with what the game is all about. Right? Well not from the description I just gave. Read More...

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow came and went. It was a great addition to the franchise in my opinion but the replay on the game is almost nonexistent. Once you beat the main game and then clean up the challenges and Paladin play-through there really is not much more to do with the game. It just sits on the shelf collecting dust like all of tomes in the Vampire's castle. To make sure this isn't going to happen too long, it would seem that Konami is dishing out some DLC to give you more reason to head back. Read More...

What do you do after you announce that your latest game has gone over the $1 Billion dollar worldwide sales mark? You announce some DLC to keep that game going strong. Activision announced today its first DLC map pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops entitled First Strike.

I've always been under the impression that Episodes had to have some kind of link between the stories. You know, one ends and then the next picks up where that one left off thus continuing the circle of life. So to speak. It seems that Capcom has forgotten that part of things when titling the latest story trailer for Marvel Vs. Capcom 3. The last clip left us with a fight between a slew of heroes fighting Doom and Super Skrull. Read More...
