Britain’s Rye Hill prison just got a little less game-friendly. The prison has decided to take away any/all PS3 units that the prisoners have. The reason for doing so was because of the wifi capabilities of the platform. The PS3 has an Ethernet port, as well as a wireless adapter built in. [...]

Remember when we posted up that trailer for Aliens: Colonial Marines on the DS? The one that looked like Contra, but in the Aliens universe? Well, Gearbox has confirmed that the game is indeed real, but they aren’t working on it. That title will not be shipping this year, but it is [...]

I was totally blown away from the amount of talent that there is at Rare, but it’s just that they come from a background where Nintendo required them to be this very, very secretive company. I just want to give them the confidence to tell the world what they’re doing. I hope you’re going [...]

We posted this as a rumor a few days back, but now SEGA has confirmed it. The Conduit isn’t hitting Australia until July 16th, which isn’t all that bad of a delay. Still, I’m sure there are many that will be upset with the official push back. Thanks to all that sent [...]

Did you go out and pick up your copy of Boom Blox Bash Party? I certainly hope so, as this Steven Spielberg sequel is definitely worth your hard-earned cash. The game is still pretty fresh on store shelves, so it should be fairly easy to find a brand-new copy to take home. Boom Blox [...]

Believe it or not, there are many, many music games out there that don’t follow the mainstream success of titles such as Guitar Hero and Rock Band. These games may not be as nearly as popular as those huge genres, but in my opinion, they are well worth your attention. These are the [...]

What did you think of when you first saw Wii Fit? Did you think that Nintendo had lost their minds? I bet you didn’t predict that the game would outsell Grand Theft Auto IV! I mean, some of us thought the title would do well, but I don’t think any of us [...]
