Get an early taste of zombie carnage.

I don’t think there’s anyone that would disagree with Street Fighter II being leagues ahead of the original Street Fighter. It was Street Fighter II that revolutionized the fighting genre, and has kept things going to this very day. I’m thinking that the original Street Fighter is something that Capcom would like to [...]

A portion of a PlayThisThing review… This is obviously a labor of love, as the developer knows her stuff. This game is highly allusive and drops constant references to other works like its Gaiman’s Sandman. Super Mario World is its core, but set pieces, backgrounds, and enemies from assorted titles and other Mario games all make [...]

Netflix is confident that it will have ample supply in November for every PS3 user who requests a disc for its recently announced streaming service. Speaking with Joystiq, Netflix Vice President of Corporate Communications Steve Swasey wouldn't disclose the number of reservations the company has received for the free PS3 Netflix disc since the company announced the program on Monday, but did emphasize, "We're confident we've produced enough discs." Distribution centers apparently already have the units.Swasey told us that the company is still hammering out the distribution details, but the plan is to send out a press release sometime in November announcing that the discs have shipped. Customers should receive the red envelope in about the same time it usually takes for a Netflix shipment to reach them. He expressed that "there's no VIP list or special circumstance list," so everyone should be receiving it around the same time.

Sample new stages and controls and help Kojima Productions improve Peace Walker.

Awhile back we showed you guys the commercial above, which features a jingle that is spot-on with the Bubble Bobble theme. After a few weeks of debate, it turns out that Taito did indeed license the Bubble Bobble theme to the noodle company. I wonder what song they’re going to license out next!

According to Insomniac's James Stevenson, the developer might not begin maxing out the PlayStation 3's power for at least two or three years. The senior community manager's comments (via CVG) are directed towards how efficient developers have become at using Sony's platform to develop its titles. Since it launched, the PlayStation 3 has been notoriously -- and perhaps erroneously -- described as difficult to develop for, but Stevenson applauds Sony for creating hardware with "really long life spans." "We're using all of the PS3 right now," Stevenson says. "But you can always be more efficient in the way you use it." Insomniac's latest, Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time arrives in stores Stateside today and will no doubt include some of the wackiest weaponry gamers have ever been privy to, regardless of how much of the Cell processor is needed to render 'em.

A portion of a GamePro review… PROS: Game seems to use the darker comic books as its source of inspiration; No cheesy one-liners. CONS: Not a good fit on this system; Like Christina Aguilera, it’s very short and very easy; You’ll be bored by level two.

Did you know that Dementium II is going to be around 12 hours long? That’s quite a beefy title for a first person outing on a portable. I loved the first game, which means you can definitely count me in for the sequel. I hope you’re getting just as pumped as I [...]
