The publisher has announced that it’s partnered with Atticus Clothing to bring its fashions to the world ofCrimeCraft. Atticus Clothing is apparently designed by musicians, for musicians. And now gamers and digital thugs, apparently. Multiple Atticus shirts will ship as in-game items withCrimeCraftif purchased viacertain retailers. If you want to see what it looks like when people put on Atticus-branded t-shirts and kill each other, hit the jump for a newCrimeCrafttrailer....

The highlight of Bethesda Softwork’s post-Fallout 3press event party (which took place in the hip, downtown Washington D.C. lounge, Chloe) was not the free booze. I wouldn’t even say it was the crowd of highly intoxicated videogame journalists as a result of said free booze. Even the 80s hair metal cover band that rocked the house, while awesome, didn’t quite do it. Without a doubt, it was the magnificent “bloody mess” cake, inspired byFallout 3‘s iconic Vault-Tec mascot, Vault Boy....

Those of you who have knee-jerk reactions should look away now.Actually, the headline is only a tiny snippet of the story here.Diablo III’sappearance on consoles has long been rumored and it looks like Blizzard has admitted to experimenting with alternate control methods for the title, including using an Xbox 360-esque gamepad. Game director Jay Wilson says Blizzard devs felt that concerningDiablo III, “the control and style of the game lends itself to a console,” adding they had tried a “360-like” controller and “this feels even better with direct control....

I’ve professed my love before of Broken Pixels, so Jesus Christ on a cracker was I happy to see a brand new one today. They don’t come out often enough, so when they do, it’s like my very own holiday with a cherry on top. Check out the boys as they diss on retarded Baby Spice and the Spice Girls and Total Recall Arnold. Enjoy!

While people’s opinions onthe now canceled1 vs. 100may vary from one extreme end to the other, one thing is for sure: the show had a host, and that host was Chris Cashman. In my opinion he did a pretty good job for being the first videogame gameshow host ever. I often enjoyed his inane banter and obligatory congratulations. The ex-host has finally weighed in on the cancellation of his show/game, and he doesn’t seem too bitter about it at all....

My Commander Shepard is a space Soldier, a bullet-eater and sprayer. He doesn’t give two Krogan turds what’s in front of him. He’s going to kill it. Hard. Most other classes can’t roll like my Shepard does. They don’t have the overbite, the scars, or the aggressive abilities. But they do just fine in their own cute ways. Just take a look atMass Effect 2’sspace rogue, the Infiltrator. It uses a mixture of tech and long-range weaponry to destroy enemies....

Since the Wii obviously uses a non-standard control scheme, owners are always curious how they’ll be able to control certain games. One of those of interest is the mature titleScarface. In a thankfully toned-down demonstration video, you’ll now be able to see just how you can control thisCuban legend.Why is he a legend? Hmmm, I believe this explains it all:In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power....

Michael Pachter thinks it’s a distinct possibility, suggesting that a “bidding war” could erupt over the visionary duo when their contract with Take-Two ends in February of next year. In a note to investors yesterday, the industry analyst said the following: “The brothers are the driving force behind theGrand Theft Autoseries, and are intimately involved in game decisions. While neither writes game code, we believe that they are analogous to the director of a Hollywood film, instrumental in determining the final shape of the ultimate games released....

Here’s a big-assed chunk of gaming for very little change. This Weekend Deal from Steam is made up of four Uibsoft games:Assassin’s Creed: Director’s Cut Edition, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Far Cry 2: Fortune’s Edition,andCall of Juarez: Bound in Blood.Bundled all togetherthe price is an insane $12.99! That’s like 80% off. Or, if you’re a breakdown guy like I am, that’s $3.24 a game. Regardless of what you think of some of the games, any of them is definitely worth $3....

Today is a grim and sorry day in the history of Xbox Live, as the worst first-person-shooter to ever grace the Xbox 360 has a demo. You too can now sample a mere fraction of the horror that inspired our1/10 reviewand caused me so much pain I was almost in tears by the time the credits rolled. Want to know why there aren’t many civil war games out there? This title, with its love of single-shot, slow-loading muskets, will quite definitively show you why....

Super Stardust HDcreator Housemarque made it official on the PlayStation Blog: the studio’s new zombie-shooting joint for PlayStation Network,Dead Nation, will have both online and couch co-op at launch. “We decided that this was a must-have feature and it would be unfair to you if we launched without it!
