An 18-year old male was punched in the face with a set of brass knuckles and received a kicking from four men over analleged disputeconcerning the ownership of a PlayStation 3. The young man apparently walked up to a group of thirty men in Greensburg and briefly spoke with them before four of their number instigated the assault. Jamie Fabiszewski Jr, Adam Reese, David Weimerskir and Nicholas Anthony Iapaluccci have had arrest warrants issued for them by Greensburg police....

Oh,Tekken 6. Like all other online-compatible fighting games, there’s always going to be the obligatory outrage against less-than-stellar netcode. Thankfully, Namco Bandai is already on the case. In a general statement sent out to just about every Web site ever, it was noted that a patch addressing the online woes will be ready “as soon as it has passed rigorous testing procedures.” The wordmustget out, guys! Assuming the update doesn’t remain in certification hell, you may look forward to seeing improved online play inTekken 6fairly soon....

Colette gave us a great list today of theten classic mistakes made by modern RPGs. One of the things Colette mentioned in her list was the horrible voice acting most RPGs get.

This trailer forDead Spaceon iOS is highly appealing. While the models are a little on the blocky side, it still looks pretty good. More important, it looks like a nice adaptation of the gameplay inDead Spacedesigned specifically for a touchscreen device. What I’m not entirely clear on is how you control Isaac when he’s moving about and shooting. If the implementation is off even a little bit there, it could spell doom for the entire game....

This rather astounding trailer may very well be one of the best I’ve ever seen. It’s to promoteSerious Sam HD: The Second Encounterand it scores points for originality, if nothing else. Quite a few people didn’t get the joke when it wasfirst shown, but I certainly think it’s rather fabulous. The firstSerious Sam HDremake was damn good, so there’s no reason forSecond Encounterto fail, especially with all the good online nonsense thrown in....

As a veteran ofFallout 2, I am almost physically incapable of resisting the urge to skin Geckos, the mutated descendants of…well,geckos, that populated the the area. The screenshot above, part of a new batch posted byFalloutfansite Duck and Cover, have confirmed that I will spend much of my time inFallout: New Vegaskilling geckos and ridding them of their outer coverings. Perhaps I shall make them into a fine set of boots, or maybe a belt or backpack upgrade....

Thank you, Double Fine, for giving me the opportunity to write aboutSesame Streetwithout feeling totally guilty afterward. This latest video with Tim Schafer and Cookie Monster is a delight, as always. Conveniently enough,Once Upon a Monstercomes out for Xbox 360 on October 11. That’s a week afterDark Soulsdrops in North America. Let the recovery process begin!

The most popular Xbox Live Arcade games of 2007 were just announced and the late ‘80s arcade classic,Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, leads the pack. This makes me happy for many different reasons: 1) The game is awesome. 2) The game is notYaris. Surprisingly (or maybenotso surprisingly given Topher’s scathingRetroforceGo!reviews), a lot of older games still remain the most purchased.Conglaturation,Geometry Wars! Everyonestillloves you!

I’vecomplainedin the past about PlayStation 2 consoles being given to young inmates, buttoday’s newsis even more ridiculous. It is today being reported that UK prisons have barred all of the latest generation consoles from being used by inmates — not because they’re prisoners and shouldn’t be awarded expensive luxuries — but because the WiFi capabilities could help them send messages of criminal crime. Now I’m sorry, but the driving factor behind a console ban should be that they’re friggingcriminals, not because they could send Miis over the ‘net that are capable of murder or find a way to rape people via aGears of Wardeathmatch....

Get ready for some content,Metal Gear Onlinefaithful. Today, Konami spilled the beans on ‘SCENE.’ It’s hitting the market on March 17 for $9.99. It will also be available as a bundle with the secondMGOexpansion, ‘MEME,’ for $14.99. Those who pre-order before March 10 will get the above cardboard helmet, perfect for drawing attention to yourself during dull deathmatches. The biggest draw for ‘SCENE’ is the introductionof Raiden and Vampinto the multiplayer fold....

Video Games Liveis a damned good show. If you frequent this page, you’ll know that we say that often here. Tommy Tallirico and friends have a great thing going on with this show, and I wish them great success. If you’re a geek down to the core of your being like myself, you’d want everyone to hear and enjoy videogame music live. Now even more people will get to see game music in concert, as Video Games Live adds 45 shows to Asia, South America, Europe, and right here in the good ‘ol U....
