This goof would seem to be played out by now, but Tobuscus is back at it again, singing it like he sees it in the Halo: Reach Trailer. Why wasn't the gun already turned forward? Now you're dead. More »

Patching and fixing games are not new concepts, nor are they exclusive to sports games. But sports gamers are increasingly calling for a do-over, and studios are responding. More »
WayForward's upcoming beat-em-up adaptation of the Batman: The Brave and the Bold series will apparently take advantage of a rarely-taken-advantage-of feature of the Wii: It's ability to connect with the DS. According to IGN, a player using Nintendo's dual-screened handheld (equipped with the DS version of Brave and the Bold, natch) can assist players of the Wii version. This assistance comes in the form of Bat-Mite, an impish version of Bruce Wayne's alter ego, pictured above.
Bat-Mite's capacity for helpfulness still isn't clear, though if the screenshot above is any indication, he appears to be capable of dropping heavy things on the heads of unaware enemies. That sounds reminiscent of Tingle's remote support in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. In fact, now that we think about it, Bat-Mite and Tingle look startlingly similar. Is it possible that the Fifth Dimension from which Bat-Mite hails is actually ... Hyrule? Whoa. We need to go sit down for a while.

Get ready gamers…Toys R Us is about to go live with their used game sales. We’ve heard for awhile now about some of the test locations trying out used game trade-ins and purchases, but it looks like the mission is soon to move full-scale. I guess it’s good to have another retailer to [...]
When it comes down to it, the two specializations for Star Wars: The Old Republic's Jedi Knight class really determine what kind of a person you are in real life. For instance, are you an introspective, thoughtful so-and-so who prefers to hang near the back of a crowd, supporting your friends with encouraging words, ala the Guardian? Or do you like wildly flailing two lightsabers, like the Sentinel? Well, which is it? Compassion, or two lightsabers?
Check out the game's official site for more details on these two advanced classes, and check out the trailer after the jump to see what kind of hardships (and Sandships) the Jedi Knight will have to face in The Old Republic.
Ah, now I feel much better! The official website for Shantae: Risky’s Revenge has opened up. It’s been quiet for a few months there, but it looks like the project is still on track. Hopefully this site will update with some new footage and screens soon!
