What is this gigantic thing that stands before me?

Please wait, Father. I'll cure your illness right away!

Ahahahaha, I set you up the bomb!

What's wrong, my Sage? You shouldn't stand there.

We face off against a dozen foes and get down and dirty.

Nicky Hill caught this short article while thumbing through the Oct. issue of Maximum PC. Looks like people are still learning about the wonders of the Wiimote!

Just in case GameStop's Left 4 Dead 2 commercial was a little too slow-paced for you, Valve has released a new TV spot that's nothing but action. Of course, that action is culled entirely from the CG trailer that was leaked last month, so you won't see anything new here. You will hear something new, however, as the commercial has been injected with a thumping blues-rock soundtrack, making the whole thing feel like a big, sprawling, undead bar fight. Come to think of it, it sounds like Joystiq Publishing just found its next game. No one has the rights to Undead Bar Fight, right? While we go do a little research, watch the trailer above and, after the break, watch G4's walkthroughs of the Scavenge and Survival modes.

Since Activision doesn’t feel like releasing any more screens of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex Edition, we’ll have to turn to the back of the promo box found at your local GameStop. These could be screens from the game, target renders, or something else altogether. Thanks to Greenyz for the heads up!

This game hit Japan over 15 years ago, but never made it over to the states. Now the fan-translation of this Super Famicom title has been wrapped up! It’s always nice to see the fans working hard to come together and complete a common objective, all in the name of gaming.

Punish the wicked, be they the lords of heaven or the dregs of hell!

The GameCube represents one of the worst times in Nintendo history. While hopes were very high for the Cube prior to launch, it was only two short years into the console’s lifespan where we knew things weren’t going well. With that said, the Cube still managed to provide some absolutely amazing experiences. [...]

A portion of a Nintendo Life review… …there is no escaping the conclusion that the main offering, Daifugo, is a game whose sole purpose is to facilitate social interaction. Playing it with a computer opponent or online makes little sense and fails to deliver the player any satisfaction for their time spent.

Sonic 3 I am all about. I think that might be my favorite Sonic game next to Sonic CD. Sonic and Knuckles on the other hand…that one I don’t like so much. It’s light years beyond the console drivel that comes out now, but out of the original games it remains my [...]

Relations between Sony Online Entertainment's John Smedley and the guys from Penny Arcade have clearly improved since the Donut Debacle of 2006. Smedley recently took a moment to talk to Jerry "Tycho" Holkins about Magic: The Gathering Tactics, revealing a few savory tidbits about the title -- the most delightful of which being the fact that the PS3 and PC versions of the game will be interconnected, allowing a player to use his account (and all his meticulously crafted decks) on both platforms. Basically, if you've got a laptop, a PS3 and an unslakable hunger for thin, rectangular artifacts imbued with immeasurable power, then your social life and work ethic are about to be assaulted on all sides. Good luck with that!

360 and PC owners getting more Flashpoint fun.

“1990-06-21 Almost time for the master-up [i.e. to go gold]; I guess this’ll probably be my last job on the FC. We had 4 months to work with, so there’s nothing really standout with this game, but I think it’s gotten pretty playable, so, well, I guess that’s good enough. I wonder where I might [...]
