This fan-made Minecraft trailer probably won't help explain the indie phenom's popularity to those not familiar with the computer game. But it's still a marvel to watch. More »
Sure, you could get your superheroic missions from timeless characters in DC Universe Online through boring text discussions -- but it seems Sony Online Entertainment is doing its darndest to fill the game with real human voices. Authentic voices too: For instance, Arleen Sorkin will reprise her role of Harley Quinn from Batman: The Animated Series, while super prolific voice actor Corey Burton will provide the pipes for Brainiac.
Dwight Schultz, of The A-Team and Star Trek: The Next Generation fame, will add another notch to his voiceover belt by speaking for The Flash. Rounding out the list of actors is Wil Wheaton, who recently voiced the Blue Beetle in Batman: The Brave and the Bold -- though, this time around, he'll be doing vox for Robin, who is sometimes called Boy Wonder, but never to his face.
I really know Team17 for one thing, and that’s the Worms franchise. They keep pumping these bad-boys out, and I keep buying them. There’s something that’s just so much fun about playing war with a bunch of cartoony worms with outrageous weapons. I hope this is one franchise that never fades away. [...]

Radiangames is the most astounding indie developer on the Xbox 360, progressing from making a pretty Geometry Wars clone in May to pumping out three lovely and unusual new shooters since then. Now we get "Fluid." More »
Though it was sort of announced by Treyarch in a post on the Call of Duty forums, Valve has now officially confirmed that Call of Duty: Black Ops will use Valve's Steamworks for auto-updating and achievements. It'll also use the Steam Cloud for storage of profile and configuration settings. The game is available for pre-order now on Steam.
If you're wondering whether your computer will even allow you to play it, Treyarch also announced the minimum specs. You've got 12GB free, right?
A portion of an Engadget review…
While some of Mad Catz’ design decisions made for a tedious experience at first, they never truly detracted from our overall enjoyment of the game — or to put it another way, when the going got tough and we swore like a sailor, it wasn’t the controller we were blaming.

This information comes from the official Playstation blog, so I don’t know that the info on the PSP game will line up perfectly with the Wii title.

- forty different weapons and utilities
- six different environments
- settings focused on ‘modern’ conflicts
- five multiplayer modes: Deathmatch Mode, Fort Mode, Racing Mode, Tactics Mode

Need another reason to re-buy Super Meat Boy? Neither did we -- we have plenty already, thanks -- but apparently the forthcoming PC iteration includes another bonus character: Minecraft's main man. A Destructoid tipster spotted Team Meat's Twitter account putting Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson on the spot, asking, "How's about you let us use Mr. Minecraft as a playable charater in the PC version?"
The ever affable and accommodating Persson responded in turn, saying, "Permission hereby granted!" Persson also noted that he needs to "add meat blocks" to Minecraft. While you're at it, may we also suggest heat-seeking missiles, enormous buzz saws, and piles of epidermic needles? Thanks!

Diablo III will let my team beat your team in an arena. The big news at the Blizzcon 2010 kick-off today was that the game doesn't just have its fifth and final class. It's got player vs. player arenas, with team support. More »
When the world is being torn asunder, isn't it best to remain inside? During a presentation at the ongoing BlizzCon 2010 in Anaheim, California, Blizzard president Mike Morhaime confirmed that the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion, Cataclysm, would be offered in downloadable format right on time and on launch day. When the game's December 7 release date was first announced, it wasn't clear if the digitally distributed version would lag behind retail copies.
It doesn't get clearer than this: You'll be able to purchase and download World of Warcraft: Cataclysm from Blizzard's site (which will accomodate pre-orders soon) at midnight, Pacific Standard Time, on December 7th. That means you can safely start questing, never having left the comforting confines of your home and risked contact with those crude human beings.

We thought StarCraft 2 was a little confusing before, but imagine how perplexed we were to look inside the BlizzCon program and see descriptions of upcoming maps for the game that include references to Bejeweled, Defense of the Ancients and ... Iron Chef? Here's the text from Shacknews: Aiur Chef takes you to a remote area of the planet Aiur, where aspiring zealot chefs skilled in the arts of cooking and killing compete for the title of Executor Chef. Test your wits in the puzzler StarJeweled, which challenges you to match jewels according to color to gain energy, train troops and crush your enemy's base. You'll also be able to team up with a friend to fend off a new strain of zerg infestation in Left 2 Die (a new co-op take on the StarCraft II campaign mission "Outbreak"), as well as wage war with the most powerful heroes in the universe in Blizzard All-Stars, an explosive new multiplayer scenario. First Professor Layton and Phoenix Wright team up, and now this? Apologies to Powerman 5000, but this is what it is indeed like when worlds collide.
I will never, ever forget how exciting it was to get Super Mario 64 on the same day the N64 came out. There’s never been a game since that has wowed me like Super Mario 64 did. Going from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island to this was such a huge jump in [...]
