Poor Decision from Sony on PS3 Pricing Sony Not Dropping Price Of Older PS3s I think Sony is making a big mistake here. Generally, when you release a “slimmed” down version of your console the previous models go down in price. Ahead of the Holiday season and prior to the launch of a new console from a competitor, I don’t see how anyone can see this move from Sony as anything other than a mistake. … Continue reading

Dead Island Riptide has a Trailer Another Gorgeous, Depressing CG Trailer They’re really trying for the emotional pull of the first game’s trailer which has a bigger following than the game itself it seems. And while there is some sort of basic reaction to it, the trailer does have the feel of trying to catch lightning in a bottle again, and when it doesn’t happen… forcing it. It’s good and all, but we should realize … Continue reading

I can’t imagine what an updated Killer Instinct would look like, but I’ll bet it would be pretty cool. I’m also willing to bet that MS will make it an exclusive, depriving a … Continue reading
Metro 2033 Optioned for Film Metro 2033 Film Rights Picked Up By MGM Metro 2033 was a pleasant surprise, a gloomy, moody Russian apocalyptic setting with creepy enemies made for a tense and good looking game. For my money it out-stalkered STALKER as far as setting. Apparently it came from a novel of the same name, which I did not know (I’ll be looking for that now). The game/or book/ IP… whatever, has been optioned … Continue reading
GameStop Sold out of Deluxe WiiU Sets GameStop Closes Pre-Orders For Wii U Deluxe Set With launch already so close, this really isn’t that surprising. Early adopters often are some of the biggest gaming enthusiasts, so to see the Deluxe version sell out first makes a lot of sense. Gamestop is also the first big retailer to offer the pre-order, so again not a surprise. We’ll see what happens when/of Amazon gets an allotment of … Continue reading
Greatest Video Game Music 2 Revealed The Greatest Video Game Music 2 Tracklisting Revealed – IGN The first “Greatest Video Game Music” performed by the London Symphony Orchestra was pretty good. I wasn’t completely excited with their choices of what to play, but I’m always happy when game music gets some credit. IGN has listed that the first album is getting a sequel and the selections here are better to me, more diverse and cover … Continue reading
Strong, Length Endorsement of XCOM – RPS Hands-On: Forty Hours With XCOM | Rock, Paper, Shotgun I cannot stress enough how excited I am for this game. An east top 10 all time game for me, X-Com has gotten a remake that has been so calculated in it’s approach, balancing the old sensibilities with modern game design, that it is likely a surefire winner. Everything I have seen of this from SP to Multiplayer matches, … Continue reading
