An ad from Blockbuster in the UK says that both Vita models for European release on Friday, October 28th. That’swaaaaybefore the rumored early 2012 date. Was Sony trying to pull a fast one on us, or is this Blockbuster ad fake? you may see a copy of the ad that we nabbed fromIGN UKin our gallery. It looks legit. They hit up Sony for a comment and only got back that we would see a “phased global release” this holiday season....

Look,I don’t carethatDante’s Infernois based onThe Divine Comedy. Nor do I care that literary nerds are getting their panties in a bunch over what Electronic Arts is doing here. It’s a videogame, and I play games to have fun. And fun is what I had when I playedDante’s Infernoat EA’s Spring Break event earlier in the month. My hands-on time was short and it wasn’t in an ideal situation (the event was packed with press in a small space with loud music blaring), but I did enjoy my small taste of Hell....
I guess the PS3 reallydoesdo everything. Not content to be a game device, a Blu-ray player, and everything else Sony markets it as, the PlayStation 3 is also a handytool used by policeto crack into the computers of suspected pedophiles and hang their kiddy-porn-loving arses out to dry. Cops traditionally have used $1,100 Dell PCs in order to crack the passwords of computers they seize under a search warrant. The computers would be used to run through the near 282 trillion possible six-digit security codes available and crack into the PCs of pedophiles like they were delicious snow crabs....
When N’gai Croal criticized Capcom’s artistic decisions inResident Evil 5, he boldly claimed that “nobody black worked on this game,” a suggestion I found to be a little presumptuous and just a little bit prejudiced in its own right — something I brought up when he and I argued the matter. My instinct was right, it seems, asCapcom has revealed thatyes, black peopledidindeed work onResident Evil 5. “There are black members in the development team....
In case youmissed it, here’s a reminder for theCall of Duty 4: Modern WarfareLive Fire Weekend, which officially starts tomorrow at 12:01 EST. There’s plenty of incentive to, like the chance to play a few matches against the PMS Clan and the development team from Infinity Ward, so what have you got to lose? This is how the Live Fire Weekend will go down: Friday, Nov. 16 — Sunday, November 18: Play and Win Sweepstakes...
It sure is nice to see Capcom supporting PC properly, isn’t it? Coming to store shelves on September 15 for North America and September 18 for Europe is none other than the PC version ofResident Evil 5. Besides being the all-around fun action (and “horror”) game that it is, this updated version has a few new additions. For starters, there are new costumes, although Capcom isn’t revealing any specifics, and Mercenaries mode now has three times as many enemies as console players ever saw....
GameStop (among other retailers) hasfinally listedGuitar Hero II Rocks The 80s Expansion Pack.The game is listed for $39.99 and has a release date of June 27, 2025. Like a hurricane prepared to rock you,rumorsof this party (and money printing) gold mine have been swirling around for quite some time. While no details have been revealed, one can speculate that the game will contain music from 80s, and not a collection of Norwegian black metal as previously speculated....
Well kids, looks like we made it. Tonight we record our 100th episode. We thought about what our topic should be, and having already done a few retrospective episodes, we figured another one would bore you. You’ve heard those stories, right? So, much like your date last night, we’re gonna talk about ourselves. That sounds pretty conceited on the surface, but we thought it would be nice to give you guys a chance to get to know us as people, and as gamers....
What’s this? ARock BandDLC update on Wednesday? Friday is the first of the year, silly! You’d be too hung over to read about it, and that’s why Harmonix has decided to drop the Rock Band DLC Info Bomb on your asstoday. In addition to thepreviously announcedPaul McCartney live pack, a Blink-182 three song pack also hits next week. Along with them, single tracks by The Psychedelic Furs and The Ramones, a....
Attention All 3DS owners! If you’ve been complaining about having nothing to play on your new handheld, why not use that backwards compatibility on a new DS action RPG?Solatorobo: Red the Hunterfollows the exploits of anthropomorphic, mech riding animals trying to save the world from an ancient evil. Looks just strange and Japanese enough to pique my interest. The title is coming to North America thanks to the localization masters at XSEED....
Rock Band 3‘s already been confirmed as Harmonix’s next project, but is it the only one? Probably not, and ifGame Informer‘s sources are correct, the developer may also be working on a Natal-based dancing game. True or not, you don’t need to like the idea, but it might be the best move for the developer. I can’t explain the worldwide popularity of Ubisoft’sJust Dance, but its success has proven one thing: people want to dance....
[Update:I just got confirmation from an editor atConsolPLUS(the magazine in question) that Sentinel and Hsein-Ko are playable inMarvel Vs. Capcom 3, and that Galactus is the unplayable last boss. For pretty pictures of them in action, and more details on the game, look forthe next issue of ConsolePLUS, which goes on sale tomorrow (Friday, Jan. 28th.)] I wish there was a better way than “Rumor” to say “this could be a photoshop but no one knows for sure”....
