Countdown clocks... we love 'em! The makers of Metal Gear Solid, Burnout and Banjo Kazooie all have countdowns ticking away on their respective sites. Sony has one too, less subtly teasing what appears to be a brand new Patapon game. More »
Buy either Mega Man Star Force 3 Red Joker or Black Ace and get the Mega Man Starforce 3 DSi or DS Lite Protection kit for only $5. These kits normally sell for $19.95!
This is pretty much all we’ve seen of Zelda Wii since last E3. Actually, this is the only official image that has been released. This whole game could have been revamped since this reveal. At E3 2010 we’ll finally get to see more about Zelda Wii, and it’s not like we haven’t [...]
I’m not going to pretend that I’m excited to see Redman or Method Man at E3, becuase I’m not. I have no interest in them at all. I’m really, REALLY hoping that there’s some WWE people there. I’ve heard that something might be in the works, but I’m not sure. It [...]
In its ongoing developer diary series for Madden NFL 11, EA clues us in to the gameplay tweaks in this year's iteration. This latest video (past the break) focuses on the gameplay, from the stick-only gameplay available to beginners, to the more expert-focused locomotion system -- a system with "branching animations" dependent on the player's momentum.
Then there's the Real Assignment AI, which will allow gamers to delegate duties to players on the field in real-time. Need a guard to pull off and cut to the outside line on a pitch play? Done. It's not an entirely new feature to the series, yet the devs promise it will work with more consistency this year.
Madden NFL 11 kicks off the football season August 10.
What is E3 2010 going to be like as far as the Wii goes? Are we going to have more Wii Sports Resort-style action like above, or will there be something that is more squarely aimed at the core? I’m sure we’ll get some Wii Party in there, but let’s hope that it’s [...]

Given Risk: Faction's known cast of characters -- kitty cats, gruff military general-type dudes, robots and zombies -- it only makes sense that the latest faction revealed would be a bit ... off. Enter: the Yetis, a species that makes its home in the cold-kissed mountain tops. When push comes to shove, the seemingly peaceful Yeti race apparently doesn't mind going to war.
Don't believe us? Head past the break for a video explaining how the cousin to the Great American Sasquatch was drafted in this global war.

Today at the UNIQLO store in New York Metal Gear fans lined up with their best cardboard boxes to meet the man himself, Hideo Kojima. Some waited over 20 hours through sporadic thunderstorms for a chance to see their idol. More »
The first screenshots from EA Bright Light's co-op action-platformer Spare Parts have been revealed, showing us exactly what kind of robots we're going to be dealing with, here. We're pleased to report that the game's pair of upgradable protagonists, Mar-T and Chip, fall into the Asimo category in terms of adorability, with paneled, Wall-E-esque eyes and bright color palettes, reminiscent of the old Transformers. As far as robot source material goes, it's hard to get much better than those three.

The best game I saw at the last gaming convention I attended will be announced as a PlayStation 3 exclusive at the next one. OK, I had two favorite games last time. Slam Bolt Scrappers was one of them. More »
Reader Kevin sent in a very interesting tip about Super Mario Galaxy 2. He told me of some mysterious figures that he saw while visiting Shiverburn Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2. Unfortunately, he didn’t have any pics to show off his findings. No worries though, as I got my camera and [...]
The Nielsen Company has released the results of a recent survey designed to gauge gamer awareness of Microsoft's Project Natal and Sony's PlayStation Move. Among the 2,400 gamers surveyed, 21 percent are currently aware of Natal, while 23 percent are aware of the Move. Things look a little better when restricting the results to those who actually own and play the 360 or PS3, with 39 percent of 360 gamers aware of Natal and 42 percent of PS3 gamers aware of the Move.
Of the gamers aware of the Move and Natal, those who actually own the respective console show more intent to purchase. 42 percent of 360 owners plan to purchase Natal, compared to only 35 percent of total gamers aware of the device. PS3 owners show a nearly identical 41 percent with intent to purchase, compared to 28 percent of all those aware. Strangely, even though both Natal and Move have publicly known launch windows, a surprisingly high number of respondents -- nearly 40 percent -- don't know when the products will be available.
Also noteworthy, respondents show a wide disparity as to what they believe the hardware prices will be. To the 6 percent who think Natal will be less than $25: you're going to be disappointed.
