On YouTube, Dezmond Castner is a bona fide “Rock Band” god. His videos, done under the nom de plume “azuritereaction,” have been viewed almost 60 million times. His subscribers — just over 86,000 of them — post hundreds of comments ranging from “good job, bro” to “how do you DO that?” In real life, Castner, 24, [...]

[NFL] If you want to play a bunch of songs by The Who in Rock Band in a manner that satisfies your minute attention span, and do so soon, MTV and Harmonix just made an announcement that will delight you (however briefly). Alternately, you're going to be thrilled if you want to capture some Super Bowl magic in your living room.

On Sunday, February 7, The Who will play a 15-song medley during the Super Bowl's halftime show, and Rock Band will feature that same medley as a $2 download the same day (on Xbox 360 and Wii, anyway -- the PS3 version will arrive later). Though the medley consists of songs that are already featured in the Rock Band games, this is a new recording of portions of all of those songs played together. The list of included songs is after the break.

Yeaahhhhhhhhh!

Music is a weapon.

Atlus has released a new trailer for the upcoming Xbox Live Arcade port of Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition. Lest you've forgotten it, Zeno Clash is that weird first-person game set in a weird looking universe where you fight even weirder looking people. It's also very creepy, apparently. The trailer itself shows off some of the new moves available in the Ultimate Edition of the game, which hits Xbox Live Arcade this March.

Like we said, it's all a little strange. Honestly though, if you can't get pumped about virtually elbowing weird looking dudes in the face, there's not much we can do for you.

Super Mario Galaxy truly is an amazing game. The gameplay elements that it pulls off still dazzle me to this day, and will likely do so for years to come. Galaxy isn’t simply just a great game for the year it came out, it’s a true watermark for the entire industry. How [...]

To say that our first experience behind the controls of THQ and 4a Games' post-apocalyptic Metro 2033 was "atmospheric" would be a bit of an understatement. To its credit, THQ picked a pretty neat venue for its hands-on event: A basement room of a San Francisco nightclub that looked kinda like an underground bunker. Pumping it full of fake fog and live DJ tunes, though -- not the most conducive environment for seeing or hearing a game.

Still, play we did, and though we only got a chance to take in the first couple of levels, we're getting a good (note: we didn't say "great") vibe from what we'd actually classify as "first-person post-apocalyptic survival-horror."

10 years after launch, we talk to the original creators of the phenomenon.

In the land of Twitter, Just Cause 2 developer Eidos is a fairly new entrant. Having just, 10(ish) hours ago, joined up via Square Enix Europe community manager Keir Edmonds, the company account has already dropped one bombshell: a Just Cause 2 demo is "on its way." Though the account merely alludes to "details to follow," we'd be downright surprised if the demo hit any later than the game's March 23 release date.

Just to make sure Eidos didn't want to say anything else, we've reached out for more information and we'll update this post if we hear anything else.

I missed out on the Game and Watch Gallery collections on the Game Boy. I don’t know…they just never interested me. Apparently I missed out on some great and rather rare music from Nintendo’s history. I might have to go back and give these games a shot!
