Man, I’m not really the violent type … but when I say I might have to join Chad Concelmo with some old lady face punching if Namco-Bandai doesn’t bringFragileto US shores, well, I’m serious. I clamor for a lot of imports to be brought here, but I haven’t been so enamoured with a game in ages. For those of you feeling the acute pain of not being able to explore the post-apocalyptic title, I thought I might attempt to ease the pain by re-sharing Moonlight Trax,the soundtrack that came with the game when you placed a preorder....

As you found out earlierthis week, Zero and Joe the Condor have joinedTatsunoko Vs Capcom. I don’t know a thing about Joe the Condor, but I’m super excited to play as Zero. I prefer Zero over Mega Man any day though, mostly due to his sword. And his hair is so nice too! Actually, after looking through the screens and the video we posted, Joe the Condor looks pretty badass. In any case, I still won’t touchTatsunoko Vs Capcomas I’m still mad at Jonathan Ross for being such a cheap whore that always spams the same attack … jerk....

You my have heard me say it before, but no fear if you haven’t because I’m about to say it again: PixelJunk Monsters is a perfect game to me, and in addition so incredibly addicting and satisfying that after completing it I purposely erased my save so I could start from scratch and repeat the experience. It’s not often you have the pleasure of enjoying a game so much you actually want to do that, which is why word thatPixelJunk Monsters Deluxewas on the way sent shivers of anticipation down my spine....

Skeletons.That’show you start off a good morning. Bonus points if they happen to be part of a new version of the competitive action puzzler,Puyo Puyo. So what’s different this time around? In addition to being all sharp and sparkly, the press release says, “It has the new main character ‘Ringo Ando’ and the new rule ‘Great Transformation.’ Players can enjoy Puyo battles under the new rule with the unprecedented worldview.”...

There’s a new Hideo Kojima creation coming from Konami. He teased the game at today’s Sony TGS press conference, saying only that it will use their new Fox Engine and Transfarring technologies. Kojima says that it’s his game, stressing that he was responsible for design and supervision. Don’t get too excited yet, as it sounds like we’ll have a bit of a wait until we see the game. Toward the end of his presentation at the event he said, “It may take awhile, but we’ll make sure to provide information as soon as possible....

Above you may watch a trailer for the Wii version ofMichael Jackson: The Experience. It is much as you would expect: A bunch of people dancing with Wii remotes and having a spectacular time doing it. I can’t remember the last time I saw such a diverse group of people so insincerely feigning so much joy all at the same time. It’s enough to make me want to sing “Man in the Mirror”slightlyoff-key....

So, I was fully prepared to continue the “70’s disco porn” theme after last night’s success. And perhaps I still will in future installments. But, for now, I couldn’t resist postingthis imagefrom SharpWriter (viaReddit). A true masterpiece. Hamza brought you hands-on coverage forGears of War 3andDeus Ex: Human Revolution,Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddonwas dated (giant bugs and fireworks!), Ubisoft’s marketing team pretty much won the Internet with its absurdWe Darevideos, and other items of interest occurred on 2/24/11....

HELLO EBRYNYAN. Today, Chad lit the fires on our big ol’ fat list of the top 50 videogames of the decade. It was like a nice picnic where everyone held hands and ate macaroni salad together and agreed on everything. Stay tuned for more of that every day this week as his list-a-thon continues. Nokia got in trouble,FFXIIIgot its Cid, I found a leftover Dum-Dum pop from Halloween under my cofeetable, and Samit reviewedLego Rock Band, all on 11/30/09....

This week, we learned that a few games gotdelayed,Chrono Triggeris coming to PSN, anotherWarriors Orochigame is headed to Japan, and something happens to The Joker inBatman: Arkham City(but we’re not telling you what....

Time is just flying past me.Deadliest Warrior, the game based on a television program of same name, comes out this week on Xbox Live and I totally spaced on it happening. As if to remind me, these new screenshots featuring the eight playable characters just appeared out of nowhere. I found myself pleasantly surprised by this game when I saw it at E3last month. It’s quick, brutal and looks to provide a good value....

Publishers would have you believe that used games are the biggest threat to the games industry. Even gamers will sympathize with these huge companies and equate the used market with piracy. Unlike piracy, however, used games have plenty of right to exist and are not the demonic entity others make them out to be.Leave to me, naturally, to bring the band-aid of reality to plaster over your fantasy cuts.
