Here’s Capcom and GRIN’s second making ofBionic Commando: Rearmedvideo. This time around, the emphasis is on how all the best aspects of the originalBionic Commandowere translated into the remake, in addition to detailing the brand new content that’s been added in. As we inch closer toRearmed‘s August 13 and 14 release date (XBLA and PSN, respectively), I’m growing more and more anxious to see how the game will turn out....

Are you sitting down? What we have here is the extremely awkward first footage of Activision’s and Neversoft’sGuitar Hero World Tour. Speaking at the All Things Digital 6 conference, Activision CEO Bobby Kotick introduced the game for the first time, bringing out Paula Abdul to clap, and Tony Hawk to play guitar.This footage brings the official confirmation of a few things. One, Lenny Kravitz’s “Are You Gonna Go My Way?” is indeed a playable song....

EarthBound, which has always been known asMotheroverseas, started out as one of the most beloved RPG series of its time, remained one of the most cherished series all throughout the 1990s, and has since then proven that it stands the test of time with ease. However, with the release ofMother 3a few years ago, many are divided as to which game deserves the crown, and that’s precisely what we’re going to determine this week!...

I’ve been on a real Rik & Ade kick lately, rewatching episodes ofFilthy, Rich & CatflapandBottom. This is a clip from the last episode ofBottomin which Richie and Eddie film a viciously hilarious accident to try and win some money. They don’t make sitcoms like this anymore, and I for one think that’s very sad. Also, videogames happened this week. Hit the jump for those as usual, and do tell us what you’ve been playing as well!...

At the Sony gamescom press conference today, Insomniac Games pulled the covers of its next title —Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One. The first title in development at Insomniac’s “new-ish” North Carolina studio, the game will feature four-player online, along with same screen drop-in and drop-out cooperative play.Ratchet and Clank: All 4 Oneis slated for a Fall 2011 release.

A humble offering of threeGears of War 3screenshots have appeared in the wild — not much, but we’ll take them. The new images show Anya getting down and dirty, having gone from glorified secretary to full-on asskicker. Or ballkicker, if the screen seen above is to be believed. We also get to see Marcus in his sexy new attire, rocking a summer look with a cut-off sleeve design and a light color scheme that really brings out those come-to-bed eyes....

Technically speaking, it was available yesterday, but you weren’t going to be able to play it anyway. With how crazy things have always been on the iPod/iPhone front when it comes to games, I can’t say I’ve been looking forward to the iPad all that much. I’m thoroughly expecting a deluge of apps retouched and then marketed as being for the new device. But this is special because it’sGeometry Wars....

I’ll admit, it’s been awhile since I playedStreet Fighter IV. Don’t get me wrong, I love the game — I gave itquite a high markwhen I reviewed it back in February of last year. But as time went on and other games started to vie for my attention, my interest waned. So when Capcom announced that, just a little over a year later, it would be releasing an update calledSuper Street Fighter IV, I was a bit suspicious....

When I sawGran Turismo 5in its near-finished form at E3, Polyphony Digital’s Kazunori Yamauchi showed us a trailer that highlighted the special visual effects that went into the game’s engine. It was so lovely that I wished everyone could see it. SCEA has just released it, and now we have it for you. In the above video you’ll see that the particles are lit so accurately that headlights will light up smoke and dust....

Following our news about theupcomingHalo 3beta test, it saddens me to tell you all there seems to be more to the process than was let on initially. While the 60-second commercial for the game will still be running on December 4 as planned, the beta tests themselves will be selective. Beta testing will still commence on the same date, but not all registered participants will be offered a position in the multiplayer beta, according toIGN....

July 16, 2025. Space shuttle Atlantis departs from Florida to cap off the US space program. It was a glorious, if not bittersweet moment. It left us asking: where do I go now to see super awesome rockets shoot off into space? Ah, that’s where Squad’sKerbal Space Programcomes in. It has the rockets and the space, and all you need is the drive to connect the two. It’s an open sandbox where you can assemble a ridiculous space heap, or a well thought out vessel, and see how it fares the launch....

DeviantART user Khatmandu has forever immortalized our favorite mannequin-humpin’ wretch from the darkest reaches of hell in cross-stitch, proving once again that all you need to disarm even the most unholy foe is his image on a cuddly pillow. Aww, lookit him! Who wouldn’t want to wake up to an image likethatin the morning? You can check out some of the artist’s comments and some detail shots at herDeviantART page, where you can also find Khatmandu’s latest creation:a Peach pillow....
