GTA IV 100% Club Emails Sent Out

A long time ago in a Liberty City far far away Rockstar announced their 100% contest. I know…I forgot about it as well. The fine folks at Rockstar seem to have finally gotten their ducks in a row as they have sent out emails notifying 100%ers that they need to fill out ANOTHER form with [...]

Rumor: Xbox 360 Avatar Customization Options Discovered

Hackers and modders have niggled the list of customizations out of the leaked fall update code. It’s a bit tame and a bit lame all at the same time. Avatars could be cool, but, big headed, Mii rejects just don’t cut it. The giant wall of text and mediocrity after the jump.

Rapper Nas Schools Rush On Tom Sawyer

To be fair, Rush can ACTUALLY play the song with real instruments and everything. It was probably near their first introduction to the game while Nas obviously rocks out at home quite a bit.

Dramatic Cat

I don’t care if the meme is old. The new ones still make me chuckle…and has this one appears to be a Japanese dramatic cat, which makes it just that much more betterer.

5 Minutes Of Mirror’s Edge Gameplay

I’d seen some of the footage from E3 but not the entire demo. Even though it makes me a bit seasick watching the video, I am sure actual control of the character will take care of that. It looks like it will be a blast but the non-violent thread that seems woven thoughout the gameplay and [...]

Gears Of War: The Toys

Actually, the Gears of War Action Figures shown at Comic-Con ‘08 are pretty not bad at all. The sculpts are great and the shading is awesome. I am certain, that in a cage fight, every hulking Gears doll would kick the living crap out of Halo’s pink spartan action figures.

5 year old escapes day-care, hits local Hooters!

That’s Right! A five-year-old in Denton, Texas managed to slip out of a local daycare undetected and made it all the way to the parking lot of a nearby Hooters.
It would appear children are getting more mature at younger and younger ages these days.

Prince of Persia ‘Comic-Con 08′ Gameplay

You know, it’s funny that there seems to be more gaming news and excitement coming from Comic-Con than that pathetic excuse for an E3. They really just need to drag E3’s suffering frail frame out to the wilderness for a mercy killing. But, I digress, Prince of Persia is looking sweet and the new non-linear world will be a [...]

Dead Space Lullaby Trailer That Was Banned In America

Well not banned but the ESRB refused to rate it so it could not be shown. Same thing. It’s pretty brutal in it’s awesomeness. It’s funny that the ESRB didn’t have a problem with the Loved Ones trailer directed by James Wan, writer/director of Saw. I guess the children’s song made them nervous.

Vader Vs Yoda In Xbox360 Soul Calibur IV Leaked Gameplay

It looks like the rumors of Vader and Yoda coming to the 360 and PS3 as DLC are true. It would have been just stupid to regulate them each to a single console. So… yay!

levelHead: An Augmented Reality Game

“levelHead uses a hand-held solid-plastic cube as its only interface. On-screen it appears each face of the cube contains a little room, each of which are logically connected by doors.”
I wish consoles had gone more in this direction than the waggle fever they all seem to be afflicted with recently.
Check out all the details over [...]
