At the end of July, we were in San Diego Comic Convention (SDCC) to exhibit our playable build .. This event is very big where most of the entertainment is all gathered at this one place, from comics, movies, TV dramas, to videogames, targeting for consumers mainly, where you get to meet REAL costume [...]

Attention, virtual ballers, the NBA 2K11 demo is out today on both the PlayStation Store (once it updates) and Xbox Live Marketplace (right now!). The demo features the NBA 2010 Finals match-up between the Lakers and Celtics, which means you won't be experiencing any Michael Jordan moments. You want MJ, you gotta pay.

Oh, and don't break out those ice cream cones just yet, PS3 players, as the demo does not feature Move support (you'll have to pay for that, too -- it's in the retail version).

#blizzard StarCraft II players using unauthorized hacks and modifications to get a leg up on the competition might want to give fair play a try, as a Blizzard statement indicates the end of the line is in sight for cheaters. More »

Quick Hit Football doesn't want to take on Madden.

EA Sports' Madden series has reached a point where it's hard for new players to get involved. With all of those buttons to memorize and an emphasis on twitch-based gameplay, Madden is for the hardest of hardcore. Quick Hit Football is the football game ... for everybody.

Following a recent "ICO / Shadow of the Colossus HD bundle" listing on Walmart's site, the unofficial remake package has popped up on Swedish retail website Webhallen. This new listing even adds box art (larger version after the break), though it's not been verified as authentic. The listing was spotted by a Twitter account named "PlayStationTEAM," which we've verified is not an official Sony account.

In response to the listings, Sony has told us it "doesn't comment on rumor or speculation," but with Tokyo Game Show about to pop off this week, we've got all our fingers and toes crossed for news about this HD remake bundle containing two games that are very near and dear to our hearts.

#column A globe of fire temporarily replaced a portion of the blackness on the horizon. The fire shimmered close to where my eyes landed, and then peeled back farther away. My fingertips were freezing. I coughed. The cough brought the pain in my jaw to life. More »

It first popped up in the US on Walmart's online retail site, and now the ICO / Shadow of the Colossus HD bundle has been spotted on Swedish retailer website Webhallen. Heck, it's even got some watermarked box art for good measure (larger version after the break). The listing was spotted by a Twitter account named "PlayStationTEAM," which we've verified is not an official Sony account.

For its part, Sony has told us it "doesn't comment on rumor or speculation," but with Tokyo Game Show ramping up this week, we've got all our fingers and toes crossed for news about this HD remake bundle containing two games near and dear to our hearts.

PlayStation Move is just days away from hitting store shelves, and for those of you picking it up, Sports Champions is your likely first destination. So what do you get with this game? And how does Sports Champions show off the power and precision of PlayStation Move?

Over on Halo Reach Planet -- the fansite, not the actual planet -- all 19 of Halo: Reach's hidden data pads have been discovered and their locations documented. Head past the break for the video walkthroughs -- only after you've finished the campaign on your own, of course ... having undoubtedly missed a few of these side-story Easter eggs.

This is just one part of the Gamasutra NPD feature that we posted up yesterday, but I thought you might want to specifically check out this portion of the feature. As you can see, the Wii and DS didn’t have too good of an August. While the DS clearly has a successor on [...]

Company warns cheaters not to cheat.

The company develops and publishes hit online titles including Digimon Battle, The Legend of Mir Series, Fantasy Football Manager and more.

The long and puzzling saga of the PS3's now removed backwards compatibility with PS2 games may have just added another chapter. Japanese tech site Gigazine recently uncovered a patent filed by Sony Japan in February 2009, which appears to outline an "adapter" that could serve as a bridge for older generation games (e.g., PS2 discs) to be played on current generation consoles (e.g., the PS3).

We've contacted Sony for a comment on the patent, which was filed before Sony's John Koller definitively struck down the possibility of backwards compatibility on the PS3 last August. It's worth noting that the filing doesn't explicitly state the device's use for PS2 games on PS3. But, c'mon, what else could it be talking about? A UMD adapter for the PSP Go? Actually, now that we think about it, that might just come in handy.

This fantastic real-life version of Professor Layton and the Unwound Future was wrapped around every issue of the Metro (Philadelphia) today. That’s some pretty clever advertising, if you ask me! Thanks to Josh for the heads up!

Here we go again.

We’ve seen the fancy new headquarters that Nintendo of America had built for itself, and now it’s time to tear down the old Redmond building. It’s the end of an era, as that building was the one that Nintendo worked out of when launching the NES, as well as many other Nintendo platforms. [...]

Playing military dress up doesn't get any cuter than Battlefield Heroes. Of course, we never expected to see the beard-clad, rough and tough Tier 1 Operators from Medal of Honor show up in EA's free-to-play FPS, but here they are. Outfits for Tier 1 Elites and Specialists are already available, with Operatives and Captains becoming available in "early October."

At that time, Battlefield Heroes will also be adding a new map in "Alpine Assault," liberally peppered with the cadre of new weapons (six total). Head past the break for a video of the new content in action.
