More content arrives for Nexon's shooter.

The year in video games is pretty much all wrapped up. There really aren’t any other releases coming out before the year closes that are worth sinking your teeth into, which means it’s about time to take a look back on everything these consoles/portables had to offer for 2009. Just how did the [...]

The floodgates for Trauma Team publicity are open, starting with the screenshots and now continuing with promotional videos. Atlus takes us behind the scenes of Trauma Team -- wisely choosing to feature the game's voice recording over, say, the medical research the team did. In the first of two videos (above), Atlus offers a tour of PCB Productions, the company producing the voice work for the multidisciplinary medical adventure. In the second (after the break), we meet a few of the actors portraying the quirky medical team, allowing us to put different faces to the voices behind the cartoon characters. Trauma Team is currently scheduled for an April 20 release date.

This comes from the official Sunsoft forums, straight from Victor Ireland… We are having a multi-phase contest for Blaster Master VC. The FASTEST speed run, and 2nd and 3rd place will win some pretty awesome stuff worth thousands of dollars. BUT, even if you’re not fast enough to win THE prizes, you will still be able [...]

Composed of two development teams, this studio has already worked on such titles as Moto Racer DS, Stuntman Ignition XBOX360/PS3, Test Drive Unlimited XBOX360/PS3, Splinter Cell 4 XBOX360/PS3, Dark [...]

Electronic Arts will give back 800 to those who buy items from a select list of downloadable merchandise between December 25 and January 31. The offer covers items like DLC from Mass Effect, Dragon Age: Origins and downloadable titles like Battlefield 1943 and Hasbro Family Game Night. It also covers many of EA's Games on Demand offerings, including Burnout Paradise and Dead Space. The details on how the redemption works are ... well, we can't really seem to find them. We've sent out some emails asking EA if it could clarify how the deal will work, exactly. If you're looking to take advantage of the offer in the meantime, just make sure your Xbox Live email address and contact details are all current.

No idea what either of these trademarks are for, other than the obvious Pac-Man connection with one game. Could the other be related to a new entry in the Mr. Driller series? Namco Bandai isn’t talking, which probably means that we’ll have to wait until the new year to find out more details [...]

These were taken right from the Mega Man 10 trailer. That guy with a giant knife for a head looks like some serious business! Thanks to NES_boy for the heads up!

Jazwares Inc. is working on a Big the Cat figurine, which is what you see in the pic above. This is the working prototype version, so expect even more polish in the final version.

At the time, Super Mario Land blew my mind. I couldn’t believe I had a portable Mario adventure! What an achievement this was back in the day. Hell, we all know the game is a bit weird by Mario standards, but that didn’t make it any less fun.

It’s about time, don’t you think? The Chinese now finally have a chance to purchase an official DSi unit, or should I say, iQue DSi. The portable just today released in China, and as you can see from the picture above, it wasn’t exactly a huge event. Let’s hope China decides to [...]

Epic has prepared a special Gears of War 2 event (dubbed the "12 Days of Christmas") for the holidays, granting an (odd) in-game bonus for each day. The event kicks off tomorrow, December 23, with everyone receiving a Noobsaw. The "noob" moniker seems aimed more at its wielders than its victims, since it can't be interrupted and lowered by gunfire. The following day will allow insta-kill melee attacks, and the one after that will reward an extra grenade for every pickup. Golden weapons will also be unlocked for all during the course of the event, while multiplayer matches will net you triple the experience points. You can check out the full list of modifiers over at the Gears site. Happy Noobsawing! [Thanks, John!]

The official North American website for No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle has opened up, and it’s just as crazy as you’d expect it to be. The site features all the trailers that were posted over the past couple of weeks, as well as some brand-new screens. I can’t wait to get my hands [...]

There are no words. This trailer for Mass Effect 2 -- which just happens to be the expanded edition of the trailer teased during IGN's pre-VGA show -- is just completely radical. This particular video is more story-driven than the previous pieces of marketing for the game, giving a bit of backstory into the team Shepard has assembled, then showing that team going to war against a gigantic, sinister spacecraft. We like to think of ourselves as fans of the holiday season, but we'd be more than happy to skip the next couple of weeks, just so we could be that much closer to Mass Effect 2's January 26 release date.

The dark truth is revealed in this Japanese cinematic from Final Fantasy XIII.
