    Video: Medal of Honor multi-player beta videos

    Posted on June 24, 2010 | No Comments
    Medal of Honor, also known as Modern Warfare With Beards, has a public multi-player beta that's happening right now. It's exciting! (But not as exciting as seeing Italy knocked out of the World Cup.) GameTrailers has a couple of videos of the multi-player beta in action that may interest you. Hey, at least it's not iPhone 4-related!

    Spotted on eBay: Nintendo 64DD and all the games starting at $500

    Many of the eBay auctions we write about are sorta “meh,” but this one gets the incredibly valuable Nicholas Deleon award of “hey, this is pretty neat.” It’s a Nintendo 64DD and every single game released for it. The bidding is currently at $500, or you can Buy It Now™ for $1,300. Come on, Mega [...]

  • Supremacy MMA: Is there enough interest for a video game not based on UFC or Strikeforce?

    Supremacy MMA: Is there enough interest for a video game not based on UFC or Strikeforce?

    Posted on June 21, 2010 | No Comments
    Word on the street (Wall Street, that is) is that UFC Undisputed 2010 didn't sell nearly as well as the previous game. There could be a few reasons for that, chief among them that people already had their UFC thirst quenched, so to speak. It was genuinely exciting to play a game with the modern roster (the last game before UFC Undisputed 2009 came out in 2004). The question now becomes, is the world ready for yet another MMA game? I speak not of EA Sports MMA but of Supremacy MMA, a game being developed for the Xbox 360 and PS3 by Kung Fu Factory, published by 505 Games.

    E3 2010: Hands-on with the surprisingly good AAA: Heroés del Ring

    Posted on June 16, 2010 | No Comments
    Rather than use E3 to pile on the mountains and mountains of hype of the big-bidget titles, I've elected to sprinkle through our coverage the small little gems that might otherwise go unnoticed. First on the docket is AAA: Héores del Ring a lucha libre (Mexican-style higly-flying pro-wrestling) game that'll hit your Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, and PSP on August 10 of this year. I had some quality time with it this morning and I can say this: I left the booth absolutely shocked at how thorough the game is.

    Posted on June 9, 2010 | No Comments
    OK, Wipeout HD is a fine, fine game, but how will it look in 3D? Probably disappointing, if only because it's going to have to be run in a rubbish resolution in order for the PS3 to create the stereoscopic image. Kvetching aside, Sony will release four stereoscopic 3D games for the PS3 tomorrow: Wipeout HD, Super Stardust, PAIN, and Motor Storm Pacific Rift. You will, of course, need a 3D TV to appreciate the extra dimensionality.

    Posted on June 9, 2010 | No Comments
    Portal 2 now has an official release date: 2011. So says a fancy e-mail we just got from Valve. That gives you around a year to play it before the world ends, according to people who misinterpret the Mayan calendar.

    Continuing with our (well, my) nearly non-stop World Cup coverage! Spain beat Poland yesterday 6-0 in Murcia. It was an awesome display, and an illustration of why Spain are the favorites to win the tournament. And yes, there is a tech connection~! That second goal, my word...

    Posted on June 8, 2010 | No Comments
    Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker comes out today in North America, and in 10 days in Europe. (It came out in Japan about two weeks ago.) Famous Japanese video game magazine Famitsu gave it a 40/40, so we can safely assume it's not bad at all. Also not bad, probably? The Astro A30 gaming headset. Konami helped the Astro team design the headset, dontcha know?

    Video: Yes, that’s Crysis 2 running on the Xbox 360

    Posted on June 8, 2010 | No Comments
    Part of the draw of Crysis 2 is that it'll run just as well on your Xbox 360 or PS3 as it will on my PC. That's what CryTek, the game's developers, told the gaming press back in April. I saw the Xbox 360 version in action that day, and yeah: it looks insane for an Xbox 360 game; hard to believe it's running on five-year-old hardware. But now you can look at the game in action for yourself~!

    The mere idea of Deus Ex: Human Revolution (aka Deus Ex 3) annoys me more than anything else, but having seen this trailer… yes, I will have to reconsider my position. Truly a fine, fine trailer. Well done, Squeenix. There’s one small problem with the trailer: we see zero actual in-game footage. Whoever directed the trailer [...]

    My inbox in the morning is usually filled with a good degree of nonsense. "Look, it's an iPod dock in the shape of a protozoa!" No thanks, not interested. But this! This is big. Beginning with this fall's expansion, Lord of the Rings Online, the MMO developed by Turbine, will be totally free to play! Meaning, you download the game for free and can play online for free. Free as in beer, folks.

    Another day, another EA Sports prediction, World Cup edition. According to the latest game, EA Sports FIFA World Cup 2010, MIGHTY SPAIN will win the tournament. That's funny, because as I write this Spain can't even score a goal against South Korea...
