We’ve been hearing rumors about digital Dreamcast gamessince forever, but some brand new evidence appears to categorically suggest that bothCrazy TaxiandSonic Adventureare en route to Xbox Live Arcade. This is amidst further “confirmations” ofDoom II,Metal Slux XXandQuake Arena. A member of the Digiex Forums posted a batch of screenshorts purported to be nabbed from a dev kit 360. Just for good measure, he revealedSonic 4‘s Super Sonic as well. The screens themselves all look rather genuine, and since the rumors aboutSonic Adventureon XBLA have been consistently coming in for several months, it’s not hard to believe at all....

Nothing can bekept secret anymore. The internet has too many Matlocks doing their Matlock thing out there. For instance if Sony wanted to announceMotorstorm 3at an upcoming gaming event and surprise everyone then they probably shouldn’t have gone forward with registering www.motorstorm3.com ahead of time. The folks over atThe Gaming Libertymust have been typing in every gaming related URL they could think of when they noticed that motorstorm3.com took them to the Sony site instead of just loading a fail page....

Victor is there to give Sam what he needs. Whatever he wants. Well, he did. Now, judging by this trailer, Victor Coste is being interrogated by some group that I’m guessing does not have long to live. “He’s off the leash and going after answers,” Vic says. And I bet where he’s going next. “And right now, I’m glad I’m not you.” This trailer shows little in the way of game play forSplinter Cell Conviction, but it does a great job at setting the tone for the upcoming game....

As you may recall, the steady onslaught of screenshots from Southpeak Interactive promoting their upcoming fantasy action title,X-Blades, drove Destructoid Reviews Editor, Jim Sterling, to seekthe comfort of the bottle. An unsympathetic Southpeak has yet to yield in their quest to kill the man, releasing four more images from the game today. When asked to comment, Sterling had the following to say: “There is an idea of a Jim Sterling, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you may shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there....

Cross your fingers Europe. While we might get poked with the poopy end of the release date stick nine times out of ten, if Square Enix’s plans for its next two biggies come to fruition, there’s a chance that for once we might actuallynotbe turning up to the party just as everyone else is leaving, passing out, or throwing up. The company has announced that it’s gunning for simultaneous worldwide launches for bothLast RemnantandFinal Fantasy XIII....

You might have heard of that little game calledHalo(or as some of us fondly call it around here, “teh Haloz”), but you know that you have to really be passionate about a game to theme your entire wedding on it. Desirai Labrada and John Henry did just that, which you can check out above in our Halo Wedding vid (made by the rather excellentR3Y).I can’t help but wonder how confusing it must be for some moms and dads to attend their children’s game-themed weddings — my mom would be cool with it, for example, but it certainly summons up images of histronic parental units unable to understand what it’s all about....

Oh, thank the fighting game gods —Tekken 6is going handheld this fall. IGNhas confirmed that Namco’s fighter is getting the PlayStation Portable treatment and will pack some additional content. The mini-version ofTekken 6will have stuff like extra stages and items. It will even have a mode that allows data comparison between players. There. Now you can finally prove to your pals that your panda-punching prowess is greater than theirs. If you’re wondering exactly whenTekken 6for the PSP hits, we can’t tell you that yet....

Telltale Games has announced what it’s calling “the Citizen Kane of poker games,” and it might be right —Poker Night at The Inventorysounds like the best thing ever. The game will star Penny Arcade’s Tycho, Max ofSam & Max, they Heavy fromTeam Fortress, and Homestar Runner’s Strong Bad. They’re going to — get this — play poker. The game features fully-voiced characters, and will used Telltale’s dynamic dialogue system as the character trash talk each other, tell stories, and react to the game in progress....

Capcom continues to rock it out at this year’s Tokyo Game Show, unleashing a ton of new assets forLost Planet 2. Above you’ll find the latest trailer for the game, and a collection of new screenshots, character art and environment concepts in the gallery below, fresh from TGS 09. I’m not sure about you guys, but the more I see of this, the more excited I get for it. Four-player online co-op, a huge arsenal of weapons, and a single-player mode that takes shape based on your actions in the game....

Kentia Hall is the infamous vault one can find behind and between the normal passageways at E3. From descriptions by various E3 attendees over the years, I have gathered that Kentia is mostly regarded as a sad little den of all the rejected, low-budget, low-class, low-brow, high-hopes, little games-that-could. When I arrived inTokyo yesterday, Eckhardt was babbling even before the stewardess that was carrying me piggyback lowered me to the linoleum in front of Customs....

For me,BioShock 2has been one of those rare sequels where I thought it was simply unnecessary, but as time has gone by, I’ve become increasingly interested in playing it. Dare I say it — I’m actually anticipating its early February release. Over on The Cult of Rapture,we are givenour first glimpse of theBioShock 2Special Edition. Before we get any further, let me start by saying that this game getting a Special Edition is news in and of itself....
