Looking back on Earthbound should be a joyous occasion, but for me it is not. Remembering the classic title makes me really sad, because it represents a very dedicated group of fans that just can’t convince Nintendo to give the franchise another try in North America. Seriously…there was only one entry in the [...]

Man, is this National Awesome Half-Life 2 Mod Weekend, or what? Machinima.com user (and assumed Source engine guru) m0rtanius recently made a 3D adaptation of the first level of Castlevania, which you can view in the video after the jump. Before you pass judgment on this mod, we suggest you view this clip from Castlevania 64. We've come a long way, baby. [Via GoNintendo]

Though Modern Warfare 2 is rife with instantly accessible, beloved characters with fascinating names, we all know that one stands out as the franchise's most memorable protagonist: Ghost. You know, Ghost! He's got that skull mask, and there was that one scene where that guy's about to shoot you, and then Ghost shoots him right back. He's already risen to fame somewhat when he received a six-part comic series telling his story -- but if the actor who provides the spectral hero's voice is to be believed, he might just show up in his own video game as well. Craig Fairbrass, who not only did the voice for Ghost in MW2, but also voiced the equally unfortunately named Gaz in the original Modern Warfare, mentioned, "I'm now voicing a guy called Ghost, who now just got a spin-off comic of his own and they're talking about another little game to go with it." Little game? Based on the number of Michael Bay-esque explosions in the first five minutes of Modern Warfare 2, we're not sure Infinity Ward is capable of making those.

The Super Mario Bros. franchise is one of the greatest that gaming has to offer. Not only does if offer up amazing gameplay, it also transports you into a world that is unlike any other, especially when you look to what films/TV/books have offered. Gamers have had the pleasure of exploring the Mushroom [...]

We’ve known for awhile that House M.D. is getting the game treatment. The famous TV doctor is getting his own DS game, and he’s bringing almost all of his TV show friends with him. I think the potential for House M.D. to be a good game is actually quite huge, should the developer really focus [...]

Dream Theater, a heavy metal band best known for creating songs that are impossible to play in Rock Band -- and, based on the image above, for serving as the artistic inspiration for Metalocalypse's Dethklok -- has chosen to lend its potent rock powers to the soundtrack of God of War III. This announcement was made by Theater drummer Mike Portnoy, who mentioned on the band's blog, "we will then enter the studio right after New Year's to write and record a brand new instrumental track for inclusion on the upcoming Gods [sic] Of War 3 soundtrack." Between the inclusion of this track and the exclusive Trivium song (which was announced late last month), we appreciate the metallic infusion Sony's trying to introduce to the title. However, if it doesn't culminate in an unlockable electric guitar weapon, then you can expect us to be stricken with grief for a few months after the game's release. [Via VG247]

A portion of a Gamervision interview with Scott Merriam of Ghostfire Games… GV: Are there plans for a sequel or multiplayer expansion? SM: No. Firstly, we don’t believe in having additional DLC, we want the player to get the full experience with one purchase, rather than string them along for continuing purchases. Secondly our goal has always [...]

Pokemon Stadium and Pokemon Yellow…I’m sure many of you guys remember those games. I wonder if Nintendo is going keep returning to the Pokemon Stadium idea, or if they’ll start to flesh out the gameplay a bit more. I’m sure Pokemon fans would be happy about the second path. No matter what [...]
