Resident Evil 5may have polarized gamers as to whether or not it’s a worthy addition to theResident Evilfranchise, but if there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s this — Albert Wesker is a badass. He may sound like David Bowie and say “Chris” an inordinate amount of times, but he is still one of the coolest men to ever fill an African full of mind-controlling parasites. A huge part of Wesker’s greatness (and the David Bowie thing) can be attributed to his voice actor, D....

Aw. let’s cut right to it. No introductory paragraph today. I’ll just get to what I want to tell you:Archibald’s Adventuresis a badass little game. You may have heard of this game before, as it has shown its big-nosed face on several other platforms, including PC and Mac. But the game is right at home here on the iPhone and iPod touch, and there’s a lot to like about this portable version....

Every two weeks an update spotlighting the latest entries will go up (please submit them as a Youtube video) and as the release of the game draws near the final deadline and additional prizes will be announced. We’re still working on getting everyone a bonus coke addiction, but apparently there’s some kind of legal red tape we need to cut through first…

In case you’ve missed it,please catch upwith our first set of screenshots in our wacky Wednesday eveningDevil May Cry 4media blowout. Caught up? OK, good. These screens are taken from actual gameplay, and are the result of the Magic Sword Cult cut-scene (say that nine times fast). Nero battles Dante in this battle to the death! OK, so it’s not a battle to the death, as this takes place early in the game, but that justsoundsgood....

Spotted onPower Glove‘s always epic C-blog, this new trailer forStreet Fighter IVcould be the most thought provoking yet.Not because it has an alarming amount of new content, because it doesn’t. Everything that shows up in this trailer is at least ten years old: old favorites like Ryu, Zangief, and… Faith No More’s Epic?Clearly Capcom is trying to appeal to the nostalgia (and disposable incomes) of young adults, now out of college with good paying jobs, who ten years ago were experiencing puberty, “Alternative Rock and Roll” andStreet Fighter IIallfor the first time....

David Gaider (The Stolen Throne,The Calling) isn’t slated to support theDragon Age: Originsfiction alone. He’ll have some help courtesy of comic book publisher IDW Publishing, the EA Comics label, and author Orson Scott Card (Ender’s Game). Big Downloadreports that IDW’s knownDragon Agecomic series is set to kick off and ship to stores this March. Card will be working with fellow author Aaron Johnston, while Mark Robinson (Skrull Kill Krew) will be doing the illustration....

People will buy anything if they feel it can help them improve with minimal effort, it’s simply part of human nature to want the most results from the least amount of work. Thus it is thatBrain Trainingfor the Nintendo DS is such a wildly popular product — a simple set of game-like exercises that claim to make you smarter. Great, huh? Not if you’re Prof. Alain Lieury from the University of Rennes....

Doesthis mean theRick Roll is finally dead? Also, it may just be me, but I think he is lip-syncing … Right now, my house is filling up with the delicious scent of Turkey and other yummy treats. Today is Thanksgiving in America and many families are settling in to be with family and enjoy some great food. Today is also a day where we reflect on what we are thankful for....

Koei Tecmo has today announcedDynasty Warriors Strikeforce 2. Theoriginal PSP versionis currently in the works for PS3 and Xbox 360, but that hasn’t stopped the almighty sequel masters from declaring a brand new one, scheduled for Spring 2010. Shin Sangoku Musou Multi Raid 2, as it is known in Japan, shall release with an all-new story mode, new characters, a new weapon system and, most importantly, a crucial online mode. The lack of online is what let down the original co-op PSP title, which could have been the bestDWgame ever were it included....

No matter how bored with it you are now, you have to admit that the originalWii Sports(the launch game that was included with the Wii) provided a very memorable experience. Seriously, look back in time before all the “dust off my Wii” jokes and horrific wave of waggle minigame fests. Remember the first time you opened the Wii box, set up the console, and playedWii Sportsfor the first time? It was a pretty unique, and altogether magical experience, am I right?...

If you hadn’t already guessed thatGears of Warwas making its way to PC, you probably missed out onthis post completely. CliffyB got on stage at Microsoft’s E3 2007 conference to show off (you guessed it) the PC version ofGoWand his mad skills against something that never made it to the Xbox 360 edition — a boss battle against the Locust Brumak.If you’re thinking to yourself, “I’ll never cave in and buyGearsagain just for a silly boss fight”, get ready to surrender your wallet to Epic Games, because on top of that addition, the PC version will also feature 5 new campaign chapters, a new multiplayer mode, and even a map editor....

Tycho ofPenny Arcadesaid that if you run a publication that reviews videogames, youneedto have a review ofMetal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. This is aneedthat Konami is well aware of, and if you haven’t heard by now, the publisher has been imposing strict limitations on those reviewing Kojima’s latest opus. Why? Because it knows those publicationsneedtheir game, and will jump through hoops for their precious review. Or will they?...

I think it’s safe to say that regardless of what game you’re playing, if a rollergirl is yelling “Kick his ass!” in your ear, it’s going to be a special experience. That was how I spent my time at EIEIO while playing Wideload Games’Hail to the Chimp, the upcoming multiplayer-focused party game for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. In a small outdoor patio area on the main floor of Stubb’s Bar-B-Q in Austin, I spent about twenty-minutes battling other gaming journalists for clams … to the soothing sounds of hollering rollergirls....
