We’ve become used to Xbox 360 system failure as much as we we have to broken chips in the bottom of the Doritos bag. It’s a shame that the system with so much great game content has so many reliability issues. Now Bill Gates says that they aim to have ” the most reliable video game box out there.” Video Game box? We’ve got incredible reliability on the new work we’ve done…Our commitment is that it will be the most reliable video game box out there....
I don’t think excitement around any videogame based on a comic book has ever been as high as it is forBatman: Arkham Asylum. Why? BecauseBatman: Arkham Asylumlooksreally, really freakin’ cool. If the trailermoved too fast for your brain to process, maybe these screens will do it for you. To call this game “dark” is understatement, and I don’t think fans of the series could ask for anything more. It’s also interesting to note that everyone in this game (except the Joker) is ripped....

Let 5th Cell explain the concept of this DS title to you: WhatScribblenautsis about in a nutshell is basically “Anything you write, you’re able to use....
It wasleaked earlier thisyear, but now it’s confirmed: Artificial Mind & Movement are developing a game based on the upcoming film,Rango. It’s calledRango: The Video Game(shocking), and will be published by Paramount Digital Entertainment and distributed by Electronic Arts for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, and Nintendo DS.

I recently just watchedAlien vs. Predatorfor the first time and now I need a solidAliensvideogame to help wipe the taste of bullsh*t from my mouth. As a lifelong Xenomorph fan, the wait for Sega’sAliens: Colonial Marinesis proving frustratingly difficult, not least because its very existence keeps seeming to hang in the balance. Once again, we’ve beengiven evidenceto show that it’s not dead yet, with UK gaming magazinePowerStationteasing detailsin next month’s issue....
In this day of $60 games and $600 consoles, no one can fault the penny pinching gamer. Hell, controllersstartat $40 for this generation of consoles, and don’t get me started on batteries! When it comes to free things, some of us feel the need to stock up to take some of the sting away from our recently bruised pocketbooks. The fine folks atXbox 360 Rallyhave compiled a list of every free download, game, picture, or anything else you can pull down from the Xbox Live Marketplace without having to pay, save for the game demos, which are obviously free....

The big drama yesterday came in the form ofserious accusations leveled at Sony and the PS3by the BBC. The British Broadcasting Corporation aired an edition of its consumer complaints show,Watchdog, that featured the so-called “Yellow Light of Death,” a PS3 hardware failure that has apparently affected “thousands and thousands” of PS3s. Today, the BBC has pushed the issue witha new articleposted on its Web site, refuting Sony’s six-page complaint letter and continuing to twist the knife with its allegations....
For a long time, American comic books consistently butchered the works of Japanese game developers with hackneyed, half-hearted game-to-comic adaptations. I still remember the pain I felt after buyingMalibu’sStreet Fightercomic all those years ago. I think I actually said “YOU MANIACS! YOU BLEW IT UP!” to myself as I read through it. Everything that I loved aboutStreet Fighterwas either badly mangled or removed completely, all in favor of a story and an art style that seemed to spit in the face of everything that madeStreet Fighterso special....
The massively multiplayer online game that Carbine Studios and NCsofthave been teasingthese past few weeks was unveiled at gamescom. And we have a bunch of images to prove it! It’s calledWildStar. Set on the good old “edge of known space,” you’ll play as explorers, soldiers, scientists, or settlers trying to make sense of a curious planet. The promise here is “content, challenges, and rewards” based on your style of play, which I’m sure we’ll be hearing more about in the coming months....
Many years ago, I was shopping at a very exclusive flea market in upper Miami when lo and behold the most beautiful ouija board caught my eye. I’ve held on to this ouija board for 20 years! It has remained untouched … until tonight. This being most magical night of the year because it’s Friday the 13th, the nightSlaughter Housewas born. I’ve always pondered what become of peoples’ old, discarded consoles, so tonight I am going to conjure their lost souls!...
Notorious porn star Ron Jeremy let himself down when trying to defend his industry at a CES panel. When deflecting attacks from an anti-porn activist, the adult entertainment star chosenotto stand up for pornography on its own merits, but tried to deflect the argument onto a scapegoat, claiming videogames were worse. “[Studies have] found that violent video games are much bigger a negative influence on kids,” claims the man known as The Hegehog....
War is hell. Hell is other people. So what better kind of hell is there than war with other people? That’s like, hellsquared. Turns outShogun 2knows this, which is why The Creative Assembly have beefed up the game’s multiplayer options, as evidenced by this new multiplayer trailer. Would-be unifiers of Glorious Nippon can take to the real-time battlefield in matches involving up to eight armies, as well as a full-sized cooperative campaign (the turn-based kind, with cities and taxes and that sort of thing,like I previewed)....
