Excitebots: Trick Racing Our poor friends in Europe didn’t even get this game, to my knowledge. That’s a shame, as it’s one fantastic racer. It’s crazy for the sake of being crazy, and that makes it so much more fun!

“Count 8! What kind of predictions has everyone been making? The ‘action’ part is a subtle area (laughs).” This damn site gets weirder with each day. I sure hope this ends up being a multiplatform game!

#roundup It's time to return to E.D.N. III, the beautiful land of giant, heat-giving insects that serves as the backdrop of Lost Planet 2! Before you pack your sunscreen and insect repellant, check out these travel advisories from the video game reviewers. More »

#screengrab What will the power of the PlayStation 3 add to the monkey-catching and pants-vacuuming gameplay of the lovable Ape Escape series? Way more monkeys with flashing lights on their heads, according to new art released to promote the series. More »

#republished As a 25-year player of Laser Tag and a manager of the busiest Laser Tag arena on the planet, I took some exception to the idea that Laser Tag is obsolete as entertainment because it's not convenient. More »

We're not a hard blog to please. Send us some screens and some video, perhaps a trailer that has a badass guitar solo screeching throughout, and you've won us over. That's exactly what's going on in the Sniper: Ghost Warrior multiplayer trailer above.

Sure, there's a whole bunch of sniping to check out but, man, those licks! We just hope that music doesn't play in-game, because we probably won't be able to kill anyone while we're busy headbanging with our leather bracelet and denim vest on.

Accompanying the finger-melting trailer above is a bounty of new screens, so if you like your action a bit more still -- but just as violent -- hit up the gallery below.

#emulation Microsoft's support for the Zune HD as a game playing device has been pretty abysmal. Luckily there are hackers, one of which has the beginnings of a serviceable Game Boy Advance emulator working on the device. More »

The parodies keep coming for Naughty Bear, as this latest trailer takes a bite out of Steven Spielberg's horror hit, Jaws. While we definitely enjoy the spirited homage, we do have one issue: it's straight-up cannibalism. We don't care if these bears are full of fluffy cotton -- seeing one bear consume another is terrifying.

You can get in on our own personal nightmare by clicking the play button above. Just don't say we didn't warn you.
