#arcade Having sufficiently mourned the passing of that pinball machine you've nurtured over the years, until it finally, irrevocably gave up its blinking ghosts, it's now time to move on and celebrate the good times. More »

Ok, so the first batch of Monster Hunter Tri bundled with the Classic Controller Pro that we shipped back in April flew off the shelves. They were largely gone in a matter of 2-3 weeks (they were a great value). In hindsight, we really wished we had built more of them. So we went out to [...]

New shooter primed to erupt the action genre with explosive firefights and shape-shifting battlefields.

Last month, the Parasite Eve series' lead character designer Tetsuya Nomura stated that Square Enix would like to get the first two installments of the franchise on the PSOne Classics storefront before the arrival of The 3rd Birthday. Yesterday, director Hajime Tabata confirmed that Square was actively working to get the games on PSN, explaining that the publisher is "making adjustments" to bring Parasite Eve and Parasite Eve 2 to the PlayStation Store.

Tabata also added, "please wait until it has been finalized and formally announced." Please wait to do what, exactly? Get excited about playing Parasite Eve again? There's nothing you can do about that. You're not the boss of us!

Perhaps we’ll get that information in just a few hours! Now let’s get to the much more interesting findings. [...]

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 had a sweeping series of arrangements created by famed composer Hans Zimmer. Earlier today, EA announced that its upcoming military shooter, Medal of Honor, will have a score composed by another Hollywood maestro. Ramin Djawadi, whose musical work has appeared in Iron Man, Prison Break and Clash of the Titans -- the remake, that is -- is the mind behind the game's musical accompaniment.

Djawadi explained in this press release announcement that "the music is designed to dynamically ebb and flow, complementing the big action sequences with thundering electric guitar and bass, and the quiet stealth with haunting strings and hymns." He adds, "it is like a Hollywood action movie score on steroids." So, it's going to be incomprehensibly strong, irrationally angry and covered in weird, plump, ever-shifting veins?
