Castle Crashers…. Finally
My fiancè told me about Castle Crashers. He had gone to Penny Arcade Expo 2006 and played the demo. Who knew it would take 2 years for this game to finally hit XBOX Live Arcade. He talked about this game a lot, and now I finally got to see why. This game is amazing! It [...]
Lich King: 1-70 must be faster to prevent “intimidation” for new players
WoW: Wrath of the Lich King lead designer Tom Chilton has defended Blizzard’s decision to reduce the time it takes players to reach level 70 once the expansion is launched, saying that the game mustn’t become intimidating for new users. Wrath of the Lich King will see the game’s level cap increased to 80. “I [...]
More on the XBOX 360 Price Drop – More Proof!
Just a few days ago we showed a scan of a Radioshack flyer indicating a price drop for the Xbox 360 and now there is more evidence that this covert price drop will happen very soon. At this point you could consider the price drop practically official. Details after the jump. Recently several retail flyers [...]
New MMORPG style Jumpgate Evolution
So I’ve run across this new upcoming MMO called Jumpgate Evolution. Wow, I’m excited about this one. The play is similar to Tabla Rasa where it has somewhat of a FPS feel to it. Rather than turn-based, it’s all based on your shooting skills. They are currently working on several types of PvP [...]
Battlefield Heroes effectively “already out,” says DICE
Speaking to GI, EA DICE’s Ben Cousins has said that free-to-play shooter Battlefield Heroes is “already out” and won’t have a “big splash release.” The beta has now been expanded so “every hardcore gamer in the world will probably be able to get a key if they want to,” the dev lead told the site. [...]
360 Dashboard Sooner than you thought?
While this might be speculation upon speculation, Joystiq is running a rumor that the Arcade SKU will come complete with a motion controller for $199 on September 7th. Tucked in the rumor, however, is that the new SKUs will have the Fall Dashboard Update pre-loaded on the system. The rumor reads: “[The $199 SKU will [...]

Flatout: Ultimate Carnage
I came across the FlatOut series years ago when I downloaded the original game demo for the PC. I found it fresh, entertaining, and just silly fun. And this was just the demo. Well things came up, money was tight, and I never bought the game. Years later and a Gamefly rental away I picked [...]
SoulCalibur IV demo bloodies up the XBLM
Weighing in at a reasonable 695MB and available for download off the Xbox Live Marketplace is a brand new SoulCalibur IV demo that has been specifically crafted for your SoulCalibur fighting enjoyment. And before you ask, we’ll admit that we don’t know all that much about the demo, what’s included or which characters are featured [...]
Diablo III trashes old Diablo classes
How do you improve perfection? According to Blizzard, you don’t. Over at Kotaku, the chilly giant revealed that, aside from the Barbarian, you’ll see neither hide nor hair of any Diablo/Diablo II classes in Blizzard’s latest jaunt through hell.
Starcraft II December 3rd?
Does Best Buy know something we don’t? Their website lists the supposed release date of the highly-anticipated Starcraft 2 as December 3rd, 2008. Excitement should be tempered, as many retailers have been known to invent release dates in order to secure pre-order sales when in fact even the developers have no idea when their [...]
Radio Shack Confirms 360 Price Drop?
According to our good, dear, beautiful friends at Joystiq (and Radio Shack, incidentally) the Xbox 360 family is going to be seeing those rumored price cuts in the very near future. Falling right in line with that chatter we heard at the beginning of the month, a leaked Radio Shack circular seems to indicate that [...]
Age of Conan Patched – Again…
Massively is reporting that the reason for the Age of Conan server downtime this morning was because Funcom’s MMO was being patched. From the piece: In today’s patch, among a host of class changes and other crunchy bits, there are a lot of fixes and alterations to massive PvP, which should make a big difference [...]
New version of SingStar seen in Sony rehearsal
Too funny. Gamekyo managed to see some of Sony’s press conference rehearsal at Games Convention yesterday, and watched a “new” version of SingStar feature heavily. The French site also saw what is apparently the first in-game footage of Quantic Dream’s Heavy Rain being shown, as well as a new trailer of LittleBigPlanet, with producer Pete [...]
