I love what they’ve done with this game and it just looks really cute.Other than that,Spore Creature Creatoris the biggest game of this week.I already have itand it should be out for public consumption later this week. I’ve just enjoyed the hell out of the game and absolutely love it. There will be a free trial of the game, too, so you really have no excuse not to give it a shot....

It’s been a while since we talked aboutDynasty Warriors, so let’s talk aboutDynasty Warriors. Koei has forwarded over some screenshots and a new trailer for its upcoming PSP hack n’ slash,Dynasty Warriors Strikeforce, due in March this year. No prizes for guessing whether or not I’ll be getting the game.In all fairness,Strikeforceis quite different from the traditionalDWfare, as I found out when I played it in Tokyo last year. It’s a co-op game for up to four players, with a lot of customization, fewer but tougher enemies, and full-scale boss fights....
Left 4 Dead 2is exactly like the originalLeft 4 Deadand should have just been a patch! Oh wait, it’s not. The five maps, four characters, new weapons, new director and new zombies look pretty substantial to me, and here’s a few more extras, as found inGameSpy’sLeft 4 Dead 2preview. First up is a brand new special infected, known as The Spitter. As you might have guessed, The Spitter provides its infected brethren with a bit of firepower, able to spew up area-of-effect damage from its mouth....
GameVideosshared with us this video showing how the upcomingNinja Gaiden 2stacks up to the currently available titleNinja Gaiden Sigma.To be fair,Ninja Gaiden 2(Xbox 360) is still in development, and is probably a year from release, but it’s still interesting to see how the two compare.Ninja Gaiden 2lacks that creamy smoothness and visual polish that its predecessor has, and while we’re sure that Tecmo has plans to match or beat the quality thatSigmaachieved, this footage ofNG2is markedly less impressive....
All the platform publishers touted some big sales during November, particularly over the Black Friday thing people get so excited about. Turns out the talk wasn’t just trash — the latest hardware sales numbers are down YRY, but the publishers as a whole still moved a wicked amount of units during the month according to the latest NPD numbers. The Nintendo DS took the crown, selling 1.70M units for whatever reason....
I know some of you guys are skeptical of Jerry Bruckheimer’s upcomingPrince of Persia: The Sands of Timefilm, and I get your trepidation considering the history of game-to-film adaptations. But what if — are you sitting down? — the film were entirely presented as LEGOs? MTV Movies Blog wondered the same thing, and then took it a step further — it fully re-created the trailer for the film usingPrince of PersiaLEGO pieces....
This is basically how I reacted when I gotHalo: Reachtoo. Basically.
Xbox LIVE Arcade titlePinball FXis getting yet another DLC table this week, but more importantly, the game will be temporarily half price as well. I’m not especially knowledgeable when it comes to pinball — real or virtual — but based on what Ihaveplayed ofPinball FX, the new $5 price tag seems justifiable. As the latest in a long line of add-on tables, “Earth Defense” is all about defending our planet against the “Flip-Bot and its minions” as the captain of the “Earth Defense Special Forces....
Too tired. PAX was exhausting, yet enjoyable. You get the basic idea. Podtoid’s tonight, and it’ll be about news stories that we’ll choose five minutes before the show. We’ll need listener questions, and so on and so forth. Here’s what really matters: KoKoO Psy made a game calledIkuzo! Cheto!, and it’s good. Dead Movie Star allegedly made some sort of Chet game as well, but I refuse to download it because I’ve already been burned three times before....
WALL•Ecomes out this week! Yes, I know the last “proper” episode was #58, followed by our specialMGS4digression, but nothing terribly interesting happened this week and we need to pretend that this 100% Reader Question-filled episode is occurring because we reached some sort of episode count milestone. So, tonight’s episode is number 60. Again, we’re relying totally on you for discussion topics this week: you can ask about whatever the heck you want (within reason), and we’ll try to answer as many questions as we can in an hour and a half....
Dan Paladin, the man who madeCastle Crashersso pretty, joined us for last night’s Podtoid. It was also Tiff Chow’s last show and thus, the full cast was forced to discussCastle Crashersin between tearful sobs and looks at days gone by. Nah, just kidding: Aaron and Jim were gone, so it was just Tiff, Dan, Adam and myself. Still, there were sobs. Gohereto listen for yourself. Highlights included: – The first listener-created Joel Siegel puns...
I’m sure many of you will look at this post and think, “Bleah, what do I care about that casual crap?” You know what? You are totally missing out. Admit it: there is always a time when your brain kind of feels like an old dishtowel and you want to game but don’t have it in you to play anything that requires thought. There’s no better time to get in a few rounds of any game from the PopCap series....
