Warning: You May Be Flustered By This Dead Or Alive 5 Trailer

Posted on August 9, 2012 by Seung Lee

I won’t say what exactly you’ll be taken back by, because there’s actually quite a few things in this trailer for Dead or Alive 5 that caught me by surprise. I will say, however, that there’s rap, giant breasts (as to be expected of a Dead or Alive game), and an actual semblance of a plot. Dead or Alive 5 is set to release for the PlayStation 3 on September 25th in the states, 27th in Japan, and on the 28th in Europe. American and Japanese Xbox 360 owners can also expect the game to release on the same dates as the

Namco Bandai And Sega Team Up For.. Drumming In Yakuza 5?

Posted on August 8, 2012 by Seung Lee

The Yakuza games have always had a plethora of minigames to lure players away from their main objectives, and it looks like that’ll also be the case in the fifth main installment of the series. Now, I haven’t played all of the Yakuza games, but I do remember there being a rhythm game of sorts in 3. There’s no info yet on what exactly all of the minigames will be in Yakuza 5, but we now know that one of them will be a joint collaboration between Namco Bandai Games and Sega. Andriasang managed to get a hold of this

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale PaRappa the Rapper Video

Posted on August 8, 2012 by Broken Joysticks

With the public beta for SuperBot Entertainment’s PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale almost upon us, the PlayStation blog has unveiled a video that shows off some neat tricks for a fan favorite from the original PS era, PaRappa the Rapper. His playstyle draws from his love of music, skateboarding abilities, and rapid kung-fu moves. PaRappa’s impressive mobility makes it easy for him to get in close and wail on his opponent(s). This is great because he’s primarily a close range fighter. One of our paper-thin friend’s specials has him dropping a boombox (Boxxy Boy from the two games) and generates AP. This move, however, can

Posted on August 8, 2012 by Seung Lee

It’s August 8 as I write this article. Why is this little fact important? Well, the latest title update for Bethesda’s Skyrim is version 1.7, and it’s going to be hitting the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 tomorrow.

The Expendables 2 Game | Review

Posted on August 8, 2012 by Eric Bastelak

There has been a stigma surrounding movie based videos games, excluding the surprise hit Spiderman 2, movie based games tend to suck and bad. I would like to say that The Expendables 2 Game (seriously “game” is in the title) breaks this stigma much like Spiderman 2 did. I would like to say that but unfortunately that would be a flat out lie.

Xbox 720: Microsoft Backpedals From “New Xbox” Statement

Posted on August 8, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

The Xbox 720 has to exist right? Game developers are hiring for “next-gen projects” and if leaked development kits are to be believed, in house studios and third party companies are already working with an early version of the Durango hardware.

Will the Xbox 720 be joining the re-branded hotmail. office and Windows? According to MS’ PR department all of this excite is nothing, just a simple misunderstanding.
