It’s hard to say “I’m officially over videogames with zombies in them” when I keep having to go back on my word. The latest in the long line of zombie games to make a liar out of me?Zombie Tycoon. We briefly talked about the PSP Mini title during gamescom, but now we haveactual picturesand not just anooze-covered logo. Besides the concept art itself looking pretty terrific, I must say I’m really digging the goofy art style for the zombies....

Freddie Wong, special effects guru and maestro of magic and sunshine, has modified his PS3 to enablereal3D gaming. Equipped with a PlayStation Move inserted in a Sharp Shooter controller shell, Freddie takes to the streets to mow down swarms of holographic Chimera. As cool as this setup would be, I guarantee that there are still tons of lethargic gamers who would much rather sit on their couch and fiddle with buttons....
Today’s freebie is not here because it’s good. In fact,Duke Nukem 3Don iPhone is practically unplayable. However, I know people will keep telling me it’s free if I don’t feature it, so here you are,Duke Nukem 3Dis free today! The only justifiable reason for getting it is for its novelty worth, however. It’s worth playing only for the, “Holy crap look how badly they screwed this up” factor. If that’s the kind of thing you’re into, then I recommend this game wholeheartedly....
Welcome to the 17th edition of Friday Night Fights, folks! Unfamiliar with the setup? There’s nothing to it, really. All you have to do is post your gamertag/PSN name/Steam ID in the comments and the games you’ll be playing tonight. The host names (and server info) can be found after the break, so make sure you send them a friend request or at the very least, a message saying you want in, otherwise it will be difficult to get in the room....
If there’s one thing worse than being an escaped criminal with a heroin habit, it’s being STUPID escaped criminal with a heroin habit. Daniel Larson, despite being incredibly idiotic, became Lee County, Florida’s most wanted fugitive after getting out of jail with a fake ID and violating his undeserved probation (seriously). The moron wasfinally caughtafter he attempted to steal $120 worth of DS games from a local Walmart. The thirty-two-year old imbecile, whose lists of crimes include armed robbery, larceny and kidnapping, attempted to leave the Walmart store with a whole host of portable games stuffed into his pants and shoes....
Last weekwas one of the closest debates we’ve ever had. For the first fifty to sixty comments there was a steady tie as both games refused to back down. Eventually one game’s momentum brought home a win, but just barely. Here are the results: It’s interesting that half the votes for each side were cast with obvious indecisiveness, so both games should be proud of their performances. This week we move on to what will most likely be another nail-biter photo finish....
EA Mythic’s creative designer Paul Barnetthas criticizedthe annual Game Developers Conference, slamming it for being a “combative” experience where narrow-mindedness and boredom runs riot. He also wants GDC to be hosted by a dancing bear wearing a fez. He neversaidthat bit, but whodoesn’twant that? “I’m not going to GDC because it’s combative, it’s a peacock display and it’s full of people who do what I do or want to do what I do or are doing what I do and don’t want me to do it anymore....
PoorEyePet. When we had a chance to meet Sony’s digital animal-monster-thing at Penny Arcade Expo, Sony had told us it would be available this holiday. We cleared off our coffee table, prepared a bed, and nixed the idea of getting another cat for the office. Butaccording to GameStop, both theEyePetstandalone software and the EyeToy bundle won’t see release until July 14, 2025. Originally, the retailer had listed the little critter for the officially announcedNovember release, but suddenly changed that late last week....
It’s a fact: Avatars can’t sweat. But don’t let that stop you from pretending that your little Microsoft persona needs better equipment for warm weather days. Yesterday afternoon,Major Nelsonblew the lid off the hotly anticipated Avatar summer weather line. Rashguards, swim trunks, surfer hot pants and surfer dress are all confirmed and look idiotic on Avatars’ bodies. If you don’t believe me, take a gander at the header image. That’s my Avatar equipped with the new “White Vest” item....
I doubt anyone here but me actually cares, but theGhost Ridergame site is now up. You can check it outhere. So far, the only sections up on the website are Information and Screenshots.

Vengeful Combat– Fast paced, combo-based combat against multiple enemies using Ghost Rider’s trademark hellfire chain and hellfire shotgun....
Sony has announced theGod of War IIIUltimate Edition, and you’d better make some room for this one — it’s massive. The ultimate edition comes in a sculpted replica of Pandora’s Box, as well as a Limited-EditionGod of Warart book with exclusive art, content, and interviews.
