Movies? Who needs ’em. Those are for people who leave the house. Now anUnchartedcomic book? That’s something I can get down with, as long as I can convince my wife to go to the store and get it for me. DC Comics and Uncharted developer Naughty Dog have revealed anUnchartedcomic book series that will launch alongside this fall’sUncharted 3: Drake’s Deception. The story has Drake heading to the center of the Earth to explore one of the world’s eighth wonders, the legendary Amber Room....

Dead Rising 2: Case Zeroreleases today on Xbox 360. We’ll have a review of the game a little later today but I wanted to give you this taste first. It’s a brief demonstration of who Chuck Greene is and how much love and dedication he has for his darling daughter, Katey. Chuck Greene is the sort of man that I would absolutely trust with a child.

So,Dead Spaceis on the Wii whether you like it or not, and we have abunch of screensto show for it. There’s not a lot to go on so far, but one thing is very clear — it looks miles better thanDead Rising‘s Wii iteration ever did, so we can be thankful forthatat least. It seems the chaps at EA are doing a decent job of gettingDead Space: Extractionto emulate the original game’s atmosphere and look as best as they can, given the tools they’re working with....

Do you have an early copy ofDemon’s Souls? Been playing through it wondering what all the talk about the ghosts of other characters andunique online functionality is? You thought maybe at one point you saw a ghost trying to help you out, but it was really just a slight graphical bug. Well, there’sa reasonfor this. The servers won’t be going live until launch day, dummy! Atlus wanted to get the word out in order to ensure that “there’s as little worry, panic, confusion, mass hysteria, riots in the streets, armaggeddons, etc… as possible....

Lock’s Questis a game that has been scarcely covered, and I have no idea why. Despite being published by the rather notable THQ, it seems that a lot of gamers have never even heard of this DS strategy game. That doesn’t make the slightest bit of sense. This game is worth your time and consideration. I’ll say that right now before we even get started on the review. The lack of attention that this seems to have been given, both by the gaming press and THQ’s own PR, is surprising....

It’s been roughly four million years since we saw the first teaser trailer forDeus Ex: Human Revolutionand finally, after such a huge wait, we have gotten what we wanted… a full gameplay trailer! Oh wait, no… it’s another CGI video. BAH! Cynicism aside, this is still a beautiful and exciting trailer. The music is fantastic and the story looks really promising. I am quite thrilled by what I’m seeing, and I really hope we see some gameplay to back it up....

The folks at Eurogamerhave been informedthat a demo forDiRT 2is set to arrive tomorrow on both PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE. As expected, it’s going to include a single-player course for you tocrashrun through, but there’s also going to be8-person onlinemultiplayer included as well. Oh joy! Codemasters has also issued a challenge of sorts. The players with the ten fastest times on theMorocco Trailblazer track from the demo will win some “awesome prizes....

You know art is of exceptional quality when your first instinct is to start listing off devices you own that have screen sizes small enough to match the web-sized piece in question. You’re getting an upgrade, Eee PC! Holmes sent this —a post on ConceptArt.orgby user Sammy of variousDonkey Kong Country Returnsillustrations — in to our internal tip line. He freaked out, but wasn’t able to claim it. Similarly, Chad wasn’t able to take the story but freaked out even more....

Wipe the tears of glee and cork the anticipation. It looks like we popping skulls with blackjacks inThief 4for a while. An Eidos-Montreal developer recently toldIncGamers(viaJoystiq) that the game is currently in pre-production — a step shy of full-blown production (or development, if you will.) The dev, Stephane D’Astous, went on to mention that Eidos-Montreal is currently hiring. The studio is looking for 40 capable hands (which shouldn’t be that hard in this economy) to take the game into production....

The big fat Steam UI update that some of you have been beta testing was released this afternoon. After clicking “Check for Steam client updates,” prepare to experience an “overhauled,” streamlined interface that adds more social stalking abilities, game library customization, sexier fonts, and enhanced Achievement tracking. In a sense, it’s basically everything you ever wanted in Steam. To get the full scope of the details if, say, you’re at work and dreaming about being home, visitthe official Steam page....

So, Atari has come forward and announced thatRiddick: Assault on Dark Athenafor the PC is going to come with some DRM. DRM in the form of an activation system. An activation system that lets you install the game as many times as you want on 3 machines, and then it stops working. As you might predict, a lot of people are upset about this. Atari tried to assure people that it really wasn’t that bad, that no one would REALLY need to install it on more than 3 machines anyway, and that anyone who hit the install limit and had a legitimate reason to put it on a 4th computer could call them and get it all sorted out....

Intrepid reader Tobbii sent us in a video he put together breaking down theMetroid: Other Mvideo, attempting to discern any secrets from it. Since so few details are available at the moment, there’s a lot up for interpretation. But there was one interesting detail that he noticed, right around the 2:40 mark. Yep, the possibility that they’ve already teased us with a release date! Could the game be coming out on Jul 17, 2025?...

Looks likeGuitar Atomikwas right. In this new trailer forMarvel Vs. Capcom 3, the dreaded Dormammu shows his fiery face in what could be a last boss/major villain-sort of role. No sign of Dr. Strange so far, but ifCapcom’s Seth Killiangets his way, I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before the ex-Sorcerer Supreme makes his way into the proceeding. Oh, and I got to play the game yesterday. It felt a lot likeMvC2....
