Latest update introduces improved Mindforce.

If Jim Carrey's The Mask took a more macabre turn, we think it would look a little something like this. Namco Bandai's reimagined Splatterhouse tells the tale of the generically-named Rick Taylor that dons a haunted mask in an attempt to save his girlfriend's life. Proving R.L. Stine right, Taylor gets a lot more than he bargained for when he listens to the advice of a mystical, talking, obviously-evil mask.

Next week, E3 will assault your senses with so much news, video, and images that keeping it all straight is going to be difficult – especially when you add in hefty amounts of anticipation. Why not prime your eyes, ears, and brain and get a head start on the info download tonight?

PlayStation is going to dominate Spike’s GTTV E3 All Access Special with video debuts of Killzone 3, SOCOM 4, and Gran Turismo 5. As Geoff Keighley would say: “WORLD PREMIERE!”

The hour long show will air TONIGHT, June 11th at 11:00 PM Eastern, (10:00 PM Central, 11:00 PM Pacific) on Spike. Now here’s Marisa Miller to hammer home the message! (Bonus: you get to look at her)

Oh hey, Geoff Keighley, didn’t see you there :)

Sonic and Crazy Taxi are in our hands. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

The little blue hedgehog still has style.

#wellplayed New gadgets, new ways to play games, new ways to look at games, and plenty of new games. That's what we expect to see at this year's big Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles. More »

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Gotta get her done in the wild.

Our compatriots at Big Download report that Wizards of the Coast has nailed down a release date for the PC version of Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers. The game is slated to hit Steam on June 15 and is currently available for pre-order. If you plan on summoning Duels of the Planeswalkers, be prepared to tap 10 Green Monies.

Opens additional European servers.

And two to hope for.

Coming from Natsume’s PDF from yesterday… Looks like both DS and Wii owners are getting a chance to test out Gabrielle’s Ghostly Groove. Definitely an interesting approach…and one that I hope works out for Natsume!

Roll over some new terrain.

ijji catched World Cup fever.

The Castlevania retrospective rolls on, taking us through the next round of Castlevania titles that were created by Igarashi and his team. There are a few Castlevania games in the works right now, but none of them are slated for Wii or DS. I’m hoping that changes at E3, as I’d really love [...]

Go forth and chart the waters.

He's still got it.

#e3 Some games don't fit into neat classifications, or their genres aren't as broad as ones like shooters, action games or sports. So we'll create our own group here and tell you who to look for at E3 2010. Everyone into the pool! More »

PS3 owners who have recently seen the light of adventure games, thanks to Telltale's Sam & Max releases, now have another reason to load their PSN wallets: Telltale and Lucasarts will release the entire first season of Tales of Monkey Island -- all five episodes -- as a downloadable PS3 game on June 15.

Even if you won't be playing Monkey Island on PS3, this news likely benefits you. To celebrate the PSN release, Telltale is temporarily knocking down the price of the collection to $20 across all platforms -- not just PSN. The PC and Mac versions will also be sold at this discount price on Telltale's website through June 30. Obtaining the episodes this way is easier than hijacking a boat carrying shipments of Monkey Island games -- and actually cheaper, too.

Additionally, and especially if you prefer your Telltale protagonists anthropomorphic, you'll be pleased to know that Sam & Max's third episode of the third season, "They Stole Max's Brain!," will be available via (the North American) PSN and for PC and Mac on June 22; and the Euro PSN release will follow on June 23. And, hey, Sam & Max is on sale too! You can get the full season on PSN for $25.

Here’s a strange one for you. Our friends over at Dtoid received a set of custom-made Pokemon cards in the mail, but they look as if they were drawn by a little kid. The cards also came with the following letter. My friend Rickey and I have made some new Pokemon. We hope they [...]
