James Silva of Ska Studios is a talented dude. He’s a game designer, sure, but he also does all of the kick ass music in his games. Now, Ska Studios is making the music from their games available on their website. You can purchase the soundtracks toThe Dishwasher: Dead Samurai,The Dishwasher: Vampire SmileandI MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MBIES 1N IT!!!1. Best of all, the tracks are being offered on a “pay what you want” system....
After waiting a ridiculous length of time for my review copy ofX-Blades, it finally arrived today and … well … yeah. It kind of looks pretty, so it hasthatgoing for it. While I hack my way through the game and as you wait with excitement for our official review (you’re on theedge of your seat), let’s pass the time by gawping at these images of some filthy Page 6 bint dressed up likeX-Bladesheroine Ayumi....
Sony and Toshiba will begin mass-producing 45 nm Cell processors in 2009. According toEngadget’sreport, the smaller chips will cost less to manufacture than the current 65 nm builds and will consume 40 percent less power. Of course, this news opens the possibility of yet another PS3 SKU, which is sure to tick off anyone who recently upgraded to the standard 80GB unit. The speculation is that these chips could be a precursor to a smaller, less warm PS3....
Sony out to sue anyone that actually distributes the PS3 hack? Sure, that makes sense. They need to cover their ass. Right now they’re in the process of trying to bust hacker George Hotz, the guy who actually first shared the finished PS3 jailbreak with the world. There’s some crazy demands from Sony in the pre-trial discovery process; they’re out to get anyone involved. Get this: Sony wants Google to surrender the IP addresses of of those that viewed or even commented on the jailbreak video featured on a private YouTube page....
It’s kind of ironic that we came across this expensive bag on a Web site calledCheap Ass Gamer. Cheapy D and the Mrs. Cheapy D were shopping in the upscale, semi-ritzy Tokyo shopping district called Ginza when they came across the above pictured bag in a store called Idea Seventh Sense. The official Space Invadershandobaguseems pretty cool with its invader eyes and subtle repeating pattern. But I don’t know that it’s worth the 20,000 yen (almost $200) asking price....
Today, we bring you the special E3 Wrapup Edition of Podtoid. I’d like to tell you what went on, but since I spent the entire week feeding the Destructokids and making sure they got to school on time, I can’t. After all, someone has to keep the home fires burning while everyone else galavants all around Los Angeles, cheating on me with god-knows-who and catting around until god-knows-when. I promised myself I wouldn’t cry, but mother always warned me against getting involved with a robot....
In ground breaking news for fans of BlazBlue and squirrels(!!!!), some Famitsu scans reveal that Arc System Works and Aksys are going to release downloads for brand new characters toBlazBlue: Continuum Shiftwhen it launches in Japan on July 1 and in the States on July 27. Considering fighting games rarely, if ever, offer new characters for DLC, this sets a new precedent. So what will we look forward to when we drop some extra change?...
Sure, some might stare a bit cockeyed at the EarthBound fan community, but you can’t say they’re not resourceful, dedicated, and above all, tenacious. Proof positive: over 250 pages of devotion bound in one book, theEarthBound Anthology. When the news dropped of the Mother3.org/Starmen.net collaboration, I mentioned something of the StarmenEB Siege project, an endeavor for which the EarthBound fan community was raising a pretty substantial sum of money (now over $7,500)....
It seems unwise to use a keyboard and mouse withStreet Fighter IVPC. Something tells us that spinning kicks and fireballs just won’t feel the same. But if you’ve got aMad Catz Fight Sticklying around, and 20 extra bucks, you could be kicking it like a pro in a matter of a download. Capcom’s popular fighter is the next Games on Demand sale item, hitting at $19.99 instead of the usual price....
Tecmo is piling on the Nintendo DS games next March, dropping not one, but two titles onto retail shelves. The publisher has announced that bothAGAINandMonster Rancher DSwill be available in March 2010. AGAINis a crime/thriller title from the Cing, the folks who brought youHotel Dusk. The game has a detective using his “past vision powers” to investigate crime scenes, finding evidence by comparing the present to the past. Monster Rancher DSis, as you’d expect, aMonster Ranchergame on the DS....
Electronic Arts’ Wii-exclusive racer,Need for Speed: NITROhits, hits stores today and here are the first ten minutes of gameplay. Color me surprised when, not long after booting up the game, I found that I was actually — gasp! — really enjoying myself. A straight-up arcade racer,NITROhas a style unique to the Wii which works incredibly well — bright colors, and driver-specific graffiti and tags that paint the world as you race by while in first place....
While my pal (and boss) Nick Chester is roaming around the halls of Makuhari Messe like a lost puppy, looking for anything that looks likeRock Band, I’m skipping around happily as a role-playing game fan. The 2009 Tokyo Game Show is a role-playing wonderland! Action gamers out there? There’s some good stuff, I guess. Sports fans? I hope you like soccer. Role-playing games are the big titles this year, so I’m in gaming heaven here....
If a woman did this for me, I would marry her too. That is, if I was a man in the military. The more I think about that idea, the more confused I get, so I think it’s best to just move on.Fun For Our Troopswas started by a military wife named Stefanie Doctor Shea. The idea behind the non-profit was to help deployed military personnel to relax between missions by helping them to feel as if they were at home....
