E3: ‘This ends now’ in new Deus Ex: Human Revolution clip

ADeus Ex: Human RevolutionE3 trailer? E3 doesn’t start for another week! Eidos is getting a head start on the show, likely worried it’ll get drowned out in the chaos. That would be unfortunate, becauseHuman Revolutionis looking slick. This latest clip, which clocks in over two minutes in length, is another highly-polished, adrenaline soaked trailer. It’s the kind of Hollywood-style marketing that just may turn heads of consumers who might ordinarily ignore theDeus Exfranchise....

Earth Seeker screens, IF ONLY IT WASN’T ON WII WAAAH!

BetweenThe Last StoryandXenoblade, I think Japanophiles are in line for some great gaming on the Wii, but it’s easy to forget this humble little title.Earth Seekeris a game thatcaught my eye a few weeks ago, thanks to its bright visuals and unique design. Here are some new screens that, of course, aren’t in HD. The lack of HD doesn’t bother me, as design trumps technical horsepower in my book, but it seems that every time a good Wii game comes out, people complain that it should be on the Xbox 360 or PS3....

Ecoris DS hits Japan August 23rd; I MUST IMPORT NOW!

Give me a moment to explain something that has nothing to do with video games. I’ve been a toy collector for some time now, and I’m starting to notice a theme in some of the toys I collect. If a character has a vacant expression of delight, a laTotoro, I seem to have an immediate affinity for it.Ecorisis the type of game that pushes all my buttons, as I’m sure you can tell by the gap toothed, grinning character on the cover of the title....

Epic to announce new IP at GDC 2011?

According to Examiner, the latest issue of EGM features an interview with Cliff Blezinski who tells us to look toward GDC 2011 for an announcement of a new IP by Epic Games. Supposedly Eric Holmes, lead designer ofPrototype, is working on the game and although Blezinski came up with the idea for it, it has since become more Holmes’s project. Clifford went on to say: “Gamers votes with their dollars and they often like established IP, but those IPs came from somewhere, right?...

Everquest movie picks up writer, Nex picks up gun, holds to head

While it’s almost a decade too late to capitalize onEverquest’sdopamine-fuelled popularity, news just came in viaAICNthat the movie based on the game based on dozens of movies based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkienhas picked up a writer. Michael Gordon — best known for the script for the innacurate history lesson turned comic book turned movie300— has been hired to write an adaptation for the film, which considering just how little the game has in the way of plot should be the literary equivalent of etchingThe Old Man And The Seain a block of granite with his penis....

Fan-made prequel to Metroid 2 feels pretty good man

AfterMetroid: Other M, I’m pretty desperate for a traditionalMetroidgame.Minitroidstill tops my most wanted list in that department, but sadly, we haven’t heard anything about that game in a while. Looks likeMetroid: Confrontationwill have to hold me over in the meantime. Like theMetroid Primeseries, the game takes place betweenMetroid 1and2. There’s a free demo on thegame’s official site, and from what I can tell, it’s a pretty loyal to the gameplay engine ofMetroid: Zero Mission....

Fanboy Friday E3 Extravaganza: Microsoft Press Conference

Each week, Fanboy Friday takes a look at some of the most ridiculous, asinine, and unintentionally hilarious comments made by fanboys from a variety of gaming sites. Well, E3 has finally come and gone, and with it came heaps of new game and hardware annoucements. I personally thought each major company had at least one interesting thing in each of their major press conferences, and overall I was really happy with this E3 – it looks like it’s finally returned to what it used to be....

Free App of the Day: Zombies Ate My Baby

Prize your arsecheeks apart and prepare for a thick veiny pole of Appness to plunge deep inside your sloppy pocket (of getting things for free). Today’s free app isZombies Ate My Baby, a spunking treat of a sodding game for you to cumming play. It’s a shooting game in which a stationary woman with big busters shoots at incoming hordes of zombies. The first level feels rather dreary, but it soon ramps up as the zombie count rises and you may’t just methodically pop them off anymore....

Friday Night Fights: Killzone 3 beta edition

Have you checked out theKillzone 3beta yet? I’ve never been a fan of shooters myself, much rather choosing to play a platformers likeDonkey Kong Country Returnsor a fighter likeSuper Street Fighter IV. However, I may just have to borrow a friend’s PlayStation 3 to check it out. Jim recently gave the game astellar review, specifically praising the competitive multiplayer mode. Turns out I’m not the only one intrigued. This week, the Early/EU and PlayStation 3 Friday Night Fights crews will be playing the beta together, and would love for others to join in!...

Friday Night Fights: You’re the best around edition

If being serenaded by the musical stylings ofJoeEspositocan’t help me win atSuper Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, nothing can. WhileSSFIITHDRhas been out for a while now, I can’t in good conscience do threeLeft 4 Dead-themed Friday Night Fight posts, and I felt this was the perfect opportunity to discuss how unbelievably horrible I am at the game. My inability to win is only exemplified by the 8-player tournament mode where everyone can see me fail, but that’s what makes it such a fun remake in the first place; it feels like you’re playing in an arcade with a group of friends....

Game Debate to the Death! Portal VS The Longest Journey

Last week’sdebatestarted off the final odd debate brackets with the first of three PC rounds for the Dtoid Army to vote on. I don’t think I could have picked a better rivalry to kick things off with, and the two titans didn’t disappoint, with each bringing massive amounts of support. It sure as hell wasn’t as chaotic as the recent Iran riots, but it still made for a good group of comments to read through....
