Uwe Boll has really outdone himself on this one. The filmmaker extraordinaire has announced that he’ll be working on his third Bloodrayne movie, this one entitled ‘BloodRayne 3: Warhammer’. Believe it or not, Kristanna Loken is going to once again reprise her role as Bloodrayne, but that’s really all we know at this [...]

Blade Kitten comic series comes to life with downloadable game this Spring.

Grab your leathers and get ready for a good time.

Last night for my time off, I got together with Nicky Hill and Mom B. for some Olympic enjoyment. We happened to catch Shaun White’s half-pipe run, where he managed to take the gold with just one run. Every participant gets two runs, with their best score being the one that stands. [...]

Ubisoft Germany isn’t saying why, but they have confirmed that the collector’s edition of Red Steel 2 (seen above) is not going to be made available in Germany. Looks like fans of the first title will have to make do with the regular edition…or import if they really want those goodies! Thanks to [...]

Comic mischief and adventure await as next handheld chapter of popular anime series unfolds with new features, several playable characters and co-op gameplay.

"Part cat, part girl - and fully lethal."

That's how Krome Studios' press release describes the heroine of the upcoming Blade Kitten, a two-part, downloadable arcade action game coming to the PS3 this Spring. The anime-inspired game is based off a comic of the same name, created by Krome Studios co-founder Steve Stamatiadis.

A gameplay trailer will debut later tonight exclusively on Spike TV's GameTrailers TV. Expect to see some platforming, sword fighting and a disturbing focus on her -- we kid you not -- "smart mouth" and "hot body." Meow. Before then, you can watch a teaser trailer after the break.

Battling darkspawn and spirit dragons.

Blockbuster franchise continues the peg-busting phenomenon with extreme gameplay and non-stop multiplayer action.

A portion of a Nintendo Life review… It might lack a bit of the visual and musical polish that World of Goo featured, but there’s a similarly addictive gameplay experience that’s nearly impossible to put down once you begin playing it. Art of Balance is easily one of the most engaging titles to hit WiiWare in [...]

More tower defense for your DS.

Direct link here Amit is a dirty vagabond who roams the streets of Avalance. He’s a well-known con-artist that’s always looking for handouts. Rumor has it that if you don’t pay him off, he’ll charm you with his flute, and then order his snakes to devour you.

Capcom-distributor Brizamila has made a few gamers just a tad upset. The distributor has announced that they will not be handling distribution of Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth in the Netherlands, Belgium or Luxembourg. What’s the reason behind all this? Brizamila says that the R4 has ruined the market in these areas, [...]

More pointing and clicking for your PC.

They took everything you loved--now do something about it.

Designed to help independent and aspiring game developers learn Unreal Engine 3 technology and gain recognition for authoring high-quality game experiences, the competition rewards top modifications, or "mods," created for "Unreal Tournament 3" with cash and hardware prizes in four preliminary phases and a grand final judging.

In its latest, unyielding attempt to subvert societal productivity, 2K Games has announced Sid Meier's Civilization V, the latest entry in the venerable strategy series. Set to debut on PC this Fall, Civilization V brings "an astonishing new engine" to the polite, turn-based proceedings and promises to excel the franchise with "the introduction of hexagon tiles allowing for deeper strategy, more realistic gameplay and stunning organic landscapes for players to explore as they expand their empire." Most hexcellent news indeed.

"Each new version of Civilization presents exciting challenges for our team," said Sid Meier of Sid Meier's Civilization fame. '"Thankfully, ideas on how to bring new and fun experiences to Civ players never seem to stop flowing. From fully animated leaders and realistic landscapes, new combat tactics, expanded diplomacy and shared mods, we're excited for players to see the new vision our team at Firaxis has brought to the series."

And expect to share your vision with others, as 2K notes that Civilization V will feature an "extensive suite" of community, modding and multiplayer components. It just wouldn't be an accurate model of civilization if you couldn't diplomatically destroy your online friends.

Full season collector's DVD includes four PC videogames from Telltale and Aardman, video extras and bonus episode offer.

It looks like it's safe to say that the PSN's dry season has finally come to a close, as this week's update is positively moist with new content. Europe's finally getting its hands on Peggle and a demo for Yakuza 3, a bunch of games went on sale (such as Marvel vs. Capcom 2), new content was added to Assassin's Creed 2 and Resident Evil 5, and Otis Redding made his debut on Rock Band. All was right with the world.

The Australian OFLC ratings board has granted a rating to an Ubisoft game called Bloody Good Time -- a game that has yet to be quite announced, though Ubisoft already has a site for it. According to the blurb on the incomplete site, "Bloody Good Time is a game regrouping ambitious teen actors ready to kill for fame! Selected by a weird B-movie director looking for the best shot, they will do anything to get the lead role." How did this make it through the rating process in Australia, exactly?

A German USK rating further specifies this game as an Xbox Live Arcade release -- essentially leaving only release date and graphical styles as open questions. Well, that and the issue of whether you control the murderous teen actors, in which case it's a multiplayer shooter, or the director, in which case it's something really interesting.

Meet ya at the flagpole after school.

Imagine you told us that Dr. Chad Ocho Cinco (Hon.) and Olivia Munn intended to throw a Battlefield: Bad Company 2 party and invite all their pseudo-celebrity pals to play for charity. If you asked us to dream up a guest list, we doubt we would be physically capable of coming up with a more ill-suited and uninspiring crew than the one that will actually be in Hollywood tonight for the Battlefield Celebrity Bracket Challenge.

We understand Hal Sparks and Perez Hilton are there, that's just the law, but the rest of the NFL players and 90210 and CSI:NY stars that fill out the list so strain and pervert the word "celebrity" that it can now be accurately applied to karaoke DJs and birthday party illusionists. The sole exception here is Heroes star Greg Grunberg, who's a totally decent guy that just seems to have fallen in with the wrong crowd. Bad company indeed, Greg. Bad company indeed.
