Eidos says this image hints to something, and after looking at it for a bit, I think it’s teasing a sex mini-game. See that sign that says “Pump Room”? That’s obviously future speak for sexy orgy rooms. Obviously. I am such a great detective. Batman has nothing on me....

As I’vesaid before, I have no interest in watching people beat each other to a bloody pulp. But there are obviously tons of people who do; that’s been evinced by the recent rise of the UFC. Accordingly, we’ve seen a number of reportedly mediocreUFC video games; last January, though, THQ obtained exclusive rights to UFC games, and now we’re seeing the first fruits of that agreement.The debut trailer for THQ’s first UFC game,UFC 2009 Undisputed, can be viewed above — feel free to cringe and grimace along with Forrest Griffin and Quentin “Rampage” Jackson as they duke it out in the Octagon™....

Following E3,Late Night With Jimmy Fallonhas launched into a full week of videogame-related goodness. Last night, Fallon has started withCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Fallon gets a chance to playModern Warfare 3‘s “Survival Mode,” running around a bit like a chicken with his head cut off as he fights off waves of soldiers. I had a chance to check out “Survival Mode” at E3 last week, and while its a “horde” mode at its core, I had more fun than I expected....
BothSuper Mario Bros. 2andSuper Mario Bros. 3had incredible percussion and drum tracks for 8-bit NES games. If you’re anything like me, I’m sure you were surprised and impressed when you heard the hand percussion in SMB2 or the timpani work in SMB3. Prepare to be even more impressed when you hear the score ofSuper Mario Bros. 2set ablaze with a full trap set. DrummerAndrea Vadruccitears up Koji Kondo’s score with some insane drum action in the above video....

I sawDJ Heroon sale yesterday. At three places. And then I went to the used game store that I check weekly. They had a ton of controllers on the shelves. It looked like aDJ Herograveyard. I wanted to take a picture, but I was too busy bragging to the store staff that you could see the back of my head in the press conferences at E3 (yes, I’m that guy)....

Yesterday, here in New York City, I was able to attend the Microsoft Windows Vista press event in Times Square. After waiting out in the cold for way too long, I was let inside a place of wonder and magic … and oh yeah, free booze. So, from our brother from another motherNextLust, check out the videos of the event.
Yep. My pants need a-changin’. Today Activision dropped a bunch of screenshots for the next title in theWolfensteinfranchise,Wolfenstein. While the name is bland, the game certainly doesn’t appear to be. These screens are chock full of occult, funny tints, skeletal Nazi dudes, and 1940s firepower. Basically, these screens are everything aWolfiefan desires from a sequel. If you’re wondering about the blue tint, I can assure you it’s not just an effect created to give you chills....
