Yeah, that’s right. It’s not a typo. It’s the new name of Namco and D3 Publisher’s upcoming PlayStation PortableMonster Hunter-alike,God Eater Burst. Oops, it’s now“GodsEater Burst”. And like the game’s transforming weapons,it bites. It has neither impact or even grammatical sense. I can see some of the logic behind the move.Monster Hunter-style gameplay and the PSP don’t get enough traction in the US for D3 to ignore potential oversensitive religious types that might get scared away by a game that professes to eatGod....

We told you about Halfbrick’s upcoming PSP Minis racerRocket Racing, which was supposed to release this month. Now it has been pushed back ’till next month, coming on its new date, March 11th. Here’s the reason Halfbrick gives us for the delay: …due toRocket Racinghaving a current rating of 9500 on the Kevin Bacon Awesomeness Meter (also known as K-BAM), the PlayStation servers were not equipped to take on such a powerful game at this time....

I’m not really a PC Gamer for FPS games. I was raised on the controller and when I try to use the keyboard/mouse combo, I just can’t do it. Most of the time, I don’t care that I don’t play them, but when I see mods like this, I curse developers for making a better version of a console game on the PC. This first mod adds a little Metroidness to the Halo universe (OHHHHH!...

High Voltage, the studio best known forThe Conduitand its two upcoming gamesGladiator A.D.andThe Grinder, has just gotten itself into a lifetime licensing agreement with Terminal Reality’s Infernal Engine. While the developer may have the Wii covered in terms of pure graphical might, High Voltage wants Terminal Reality’s middleware for its foray into Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 game development. To get an idea of what we’re talking about here, look back atGhostbusters: The Video Gameto see what Infernal is capable of doing....

I bet you read ourDJ Heropreviewand are thinking “Damn, I wonder what that looks and sounds like?” Well, I have good news — we have a bunch of videos. By a bunch, I mean five. But there’s a lot going on here, including DJ vs. DJ and DJ vs. guitar multiplayer gameplay. Music by Gang Starr, Rihanna, Beck, The Killers, Eminem, and more. Oh, and before I forget to mention, there’s a mash-up of Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby” and M....

Battlefield 3is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated games of the year. With tons of buildings to blow up, explosions that put the Fourth of July to shame, intense competition, and graphics that make your eyes bleed, how can you afford to have a computer that can’t keep up with your skills? So you might need a new gaming rig, but you might not have the cash to buy from a retailer....

Digital Extremes’Star Trektakes place between the excellent 2009 film and the upcoming sequel. And, it sounds like it could be amazing. At least, Hollie sure was ecstatic when talking about the game in this interview and also during an internal favorites-of-E3 chat. Star Trekwill hit Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC in 2012. That gives us plenty of time to fight over who gets to play as Kirk, and who gets to play as Spock....

Nihongo ga wakarimasu ka? Actually, you don’t need to understand Japanese when listening to the dialog in an import copy of Mistwalker’s Lost Odyssey. Xbox 360 RPGLost Odysseyfeatures two language tracks: English and Japanese.Siliconerasays that the English dialog is just a bonus, as the text in the game is only in Japanese. Unforutnately, this doesn’t make the game much more import friendly; this title is region-locked to Japan. If your Japanese sucks, I’d just hold off on the early 2008 US release....

What does Jonathan Blow and Bill Wyman have in common? They’re both put off by anything above the age of six. Of course, Blow isn’t a grotesque sexual deviant like the Rolling Stone bassist, because he’s talking about videogame consoles and not children! “We like 360 and PS3, but their specifications are over five years old now, and that’s a lot in computer years,” said the man behindBraidandThe Witness. “The kind of tricks we’d have to perform to get this game working on those platforms are such a lot of work that to port it over at this point is just not worth it for us....

An explosion spanning six blocks has occurred, and it’s up to Cole Phelps to pick up cigarettes and rotate them. This add-on case hits PlayStation Network and Xbox Live on Tuesday, June 21. It’s $3.99 (or 320 points, if you’re speaking Microsoft’s language); those withthe Rockstar Passcan download it for free, however....

As we reported earlier, owners of the PS3 or 360 versions ofLEGO Rock Bandwill be able toexportmostall of the game’s forty-plus songsto their hard drives so the tracks can be played inRock BandorRock Band 2. If you’ll recall,55 of the 58 songsfrom the originalRock Bandcould be exported, and the song export key cost $4.99 (400 Microsoft Points). Harmonix PR man John Drake told me that, unfortunately, you’ll have to cough up more than that for theLEGO Rock Bandkey, though he couldn’t confirm the exact price: “It’ll probably be a little bit more than five [dollars], but it’s not going to be super-expensive....

It’s finally here, fellow PS3 owners. The granddaddy of all firmware updates doesn’t seem to have an appropriately significant revision number attached to it (you’d think they would’ve at least called this one v2.50), but regardless, its feature set will surely bring all the boys (and girls) to the yard. In case you’re a bit behind the curve and aren’t aware of what the v2.40 update will allow you to do, check out partsoneandtwoof Sony’s official video walkthrough for the update, as well as the update’sFAQ, all of which were posted on the PlayStation....
