Gamefly Starts Game Trade-In Beta Program
I got this email a few days ago and found it pretty interesting that GameFly is testing out a program that allows you to send them your complete games. Complete as in manual and box. The wack part is that as of right now the credits you get from sending in your games can only be used to pay for the service. Unfortunately you cannot send in your games and apply those credits to buying from the Game...[Read More]
New Wii Conduit Videos
The Condiut is a Wii exclusive that seems like a first person Men in Black video game. There’s these crazy tech/alien looking weaponry.
Mad Catz Street Fighter Joystick & FightPad Impressions
GameCyte has recently posted some very good impressions of the Mad Catz Street Fighter IV Joysticks and FightPads. Im very happy that I did pre-order one of those Tournament Edition Joysticks as initial production run was only 3,000 units. The impressions of the FightPad were positive also. Dont miss out. Check the impressions here.
Resident Evil 5 Demo Drops January 26th adds RUN AND SHOOT!
Yes you read that right. The Resident Evil 5 Demo that’s now scheduled to be released to us westerners on January 26th will feature “Gears”-inspired action controls that will allow you to move and shoot at the same time. Interesting stuff. Good one Capcom, you have successfully interested me in playing this version after playing a ton of the Japanese version weeks ago.
Street Fighter Tournament Joystick Pre-orders Going fast
Consider this a warning. If you plan to have one of those fancy-shmancy “arcade perfect” Street Fighter IV Fightstick Tournament Edition joysticks and you do not already have a confirmed pre-order you need to act fast. Most online retailers are no longer accepting pre-orders for the Tournament Edition joysticks seen above. You may still be able to snag one of the lesser models. Remembe...[Read More]
Kojima Loves Left 4 Dead, Speaks On Japanese Game Developers
In a recent interview with Japanese game magazine Famitsu, Metal Gear Solid Producer Hideo Kojima says that he’s currently addicted to Left 4 Dead and speaks on why he feels Japanese games are not reaching as many people as eastern developed games have in recent times. “The US and European marketplace are far better balanced. There are games everyone can play — maybe calling R...[Read More]
PS3 Chatpad Review
The Playstation 3 wireless chat pad attaches to any Sixaxis or Dualshock 3 controller and aims to provide a faster texting experience on the PS3. The chatpad currently retails between $41-$49. Verdict: The chatpad snaps on Sixaxis or Dualshock 3 controllers fairly easy. The attaching mechanism is executed well making it easy to remove from a controller and it is very secure when attached. The XMB ...[Read More]
Metal Gear Online Welcomes Rookies With Free DLC
If you have never booted up and tried Metal Gear Online you have until February 16 to claim 5,000 Reward Points and the MGO Codec Pack. The MGO Codec Pack contains 32 additional voice tracks. I think an announcement about the removal of the Konami ID system would be a better way to recruit “rookies” into the fold. Just saying. All Fans Who Register for the Metal Gear Online Retail Vers...[Read More]
Castle Crashers DLC Cometh Tomorrow: King Pack
The Castle Crashers: King Pack hits XBLA tomorrow and will provide the ability to use The Open Faced Grey Knight and The King. Also a new seal animal orb called Pelter, three new weapons, and the King’s Heal spell, which heals both yourself and your party. In case you missed it, the title update that dropped late December fixed the following issues: – Saved data loss issues – Qui...[Read More]
Nyko To Upgrade Perfect Shot
This new version of the Nyko perfect shot seems to provide exactly what I have wanted. Resident Evil 4 Wii sucked only because you have to press and hold the A button in order to shoot. The wack part is that the “A” button is on top of the Wii remote and its takes away from the “gun” feeling. This solves that with the ability to remap the “A” button to pistol gr...[Read More]
