They certainly look like the real deal, but so have a lot of the fan creations. We’ll wait for some full page scans before I yank the ‘RUMOR’ tag. Thanks to chromebeast for the heads up!
The most recent episode of GameTrailers TV brought with it the first moving pictures associated with Ninja Theory's upcoming Chinese fable-turned-video game, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. Our initial thoughts on the trailer is that it loses a significant amount of points for sheer bossiness ("My something is your something," the video frequently informs us), but regains said points for the protagonist's creative methods of ladder navigation.
Check out the game's super pushy debut trailer just past the jump.

So President Obama, once again, dinged video games in a speech. I'd rather send a more uplifting message, where a console is judged not by the content of its games, but the color of its skin. More »

That’s what the new, official website says…
This game has been a long time coming. It was originally going to release on the first generation Xbox! Obviously that didn’t happen, and it’s been in development for the Wii ever since this generation of platforms launched. Will it actually make the August release date? [...]

Lost Planet 2 (above) and Skate 3 highlight the coming week. But let's do this roundup a bit differently and, I hope, in a way that's a little more useful and interesting to you. More »
Out of observance for this most matronly of holidays, PopCap has reduced the price of its Aztec themed casual puzzler Zuma by 75 percent. Until May 12, you (or your female progenitor) can pick up the PC or Mac version of Zuma for just $4.95 on PopCap's official site. If you ask us, it makes for a much better Mother's Day present than assorted chocolates. Or store-bought flowers. Or bath salts.
