… and lived to tell the tale. While it may not immediately look the part,Red Faction: Guerrillais one game that’s been able to keep a solid community going strong even months after release. Three different downloadable content packsare planned, the first of which is a single-player add-on while the other two are supposed to add to the multiplayer. The first DLC pack, “Demons of the Badlands,” was released last week....

Oh wait, you thoughtinFAMOUS 2would get away with not receiving its own collector’s edition? You thought wrong, son! Amazon accidentally spilled the beans on aHero Editionfor the upcoming open-world PS3 sequel, and tried to hide the evidence. Not before the Internet nabbed all the info, though! Here’s what theHero Editionwill include: Seems like it ticks all the boxes, with nothing we haven’t seen before but it should be a nice option for hardcore fans....
Infinity Ward has done an exceptional job of pissing off its fanbase. Whether it’s nixing dedicated servers on PC or charging fifteen dollars for a handful of multiplayer maps, the studio has usedModern Warfare 2to anger a lot of people. Despite this, however, gamers are bending over and asking for more. Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling believesModern Warfare 2is here to stay, with no shooters threatening to take its crown. “No. I hope not....
Here’s what it looks like so far:Ghosts’N Goblins: Gold Knights IIhas some pretty nice 3D for an iPhone game. It’s essentially a 2D sidescroller with 3D backgrounds, and it works nicely on the iPhone, I think. The newly released game lets you play as both Arthur or the less cool Perceval, who has a dash attack. You’re throwing those little spear-y things at big-assed bosses in this one. Love that. Capcom says that they’ve tightened up the control scheme a bit, claiming it has “forgiving gameplay....
As if the story of the PlayStation Network’sweek-long downtimecouldn’t get more speculative, fresh Intel from auser on Redditis lending credence to the theory that illegal downloads on a significant scale caused Sony to shut down its online services. Modded PS3s that allow users to download PSN content for free were among the first things blamed when Sony confirmed it had suffered “external intrusions,” and a PSX-Scene moderator has seemingly spilled the beans on how it was done....
There have been some murmurings regarding a game reveal coming at the tail end of tonight’s GameTrailers TV Pre-E3 special on Spike. We’d heard that the announcement would be from a “legendary” figure within the games industry. Is Tomonobu Itagaki legendary enough for you? A quick post on theValhalla Games Studios websiteconfirms the exclusive reveal. Ooooooh! The excitement! What could it be? I’m hopeful that Itagaki might try his hand at something really different....

Jack. Jackie. Wacko Jack-o. Jackie Boy. I haven’t decided what I’ll call him when I hang out with him in Dallas this summer. J-dogg? Oh, what? You didn’t know we were tight? Okay, we’re not really hanging out. But he and I will bein the same building! Ooh! There are definite perks to this job!

Yeah, you’ll learn the hard way, son. “Lucky” children all over the world unwrapped their presents on Christmas Day and, according to an unhealthy amount of Youtube videos, went thoroughly insane. My prediction is that, by now, the waggle boxes are already sitting untouched on the floor. The above video, as spotted onKotaku, is the thing that nightmares are made of. He screams like he’s being raped, murdered and losing a bet at the same time....

Because there’s always room for another RPG remake on the PSP, Koeihas announcedthatZill O’ll: Infinite Plusis heading to Sony’s handheld. I’ve never heard ofZill O’ll: Infinitebefore, oddly enough, but apparently it’s quite a popular RPG....
Activision CEO and professional supervillain Bobby Kotick has stated that Activision views Facebook as a bigger competitor than Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo or Electronic Arts, adding that traditional gaming publishers will “struggle” against his company in the online arena later down the line. “Because we’re in a lot of different businesses, we have a lot of different competitors,” says the Red Menace. “Our competitor online [is] Facebook in some respects. Even though they don’t create content, they provide it....
