Back in the 90s, when fighters reined supreme in the arcades, console conversions could only hope to get all the characters and stages to fit on tiny gray cartridges and skippy, easy-to-scratch CDs.  It wasn't until the Dreamcast brought Soul Calibur home  in 1999 that consoles had finally proven to be superior to the arcade version in almost every way, and that spelled the death knell for arcades...at least in the U.S.  Today, Japanese arcades still thrive, but arcades are all but extinct in th

The episodes will take place after the events in Borderlands 2. Telltale has teased that gamers will have to decide which of the two characters; Fiona who is con-artist or Rhys who is a Hyperion worker is lying or if they both are telling the truth. Telltale also said that characters that are familiar to the series will return in Tales From The Borderlands, however the game will not be set around those characters. It is rumored that Handsome Jack and Marcus Kincaid will be two of those charact

Batman and Bane will be fighting side by side in Batman: Arkham City. Announced at Comic Con 2011, Bane will be an AI partner who helps Batman track down chemicals in side missions. Also announced during the panel were 4 hours of gameplay as Catwoman, new gadgets, the main storyline will be longer than Arkham Asylum, and if you fail a mission you can return to it later with better upgrades. via Go Nintendo

A trailer for yet another video game to movie transition, this time for Namco's Tekken, though judging from the presence of Jin Kazama and Eddy Gordo, it would probably be more appropriate to call it "Tekken 3", but that would have messed with general movie goer's heads too much. (You'll also have to excuse the insertion of captions mocking /Film). So far, the film has only premiered in the United States on November 5, 2009, as part of the American Film Market Film Festival, hoping to find a dis

Jurassic Park fans are one earth-shaking footstep closer to sinking their teeth into the anticipated release of Jurassic Park: The Game, as Telltale Games, the leading independent digital publisher and developer of episodic interactive entertainment, today announced that Jurassic Park: The Game has gone gold.

Months ago, The Behemoth announced that they were working on a new XBLA title that they called, "Game 3".  Since then there hasn't really been too much talk about regarding the game until now. The Behemoth has released an official trailer for the upcoming XBLA title which has an official name, BattleBlock Theater.  There is also a sliver of information about the game via the Development Blog.  "Having shipwrecked on a mysterious island you find yourself both betrayed by your best friend Hatty a

EA is no stranger to controversy.  Their push of making gamers pay for every little thing that they have to offer is just one example of the type of controversy that EA has been dealing with, but what about the heated controversy surrounding the upcoming Medal of Honor's playable Taliban characters?  Is EA in the wrong with this one especially when they almost lost support from the US Army? According to Deseret News, military bases across the US reacted strongly to EA's announcement of having p

I wonder what this means?!

Occasionally we read something that is so far out there in the world of all things gaming that we have to take a moment and acknowledge those dumbasses with "The Dumbass Award". Have you ever found yourself playing a game Frogger and thinking, "Gee, I want to play a real life version of Frogger.".  If you answered "yes" to that question, then you are just as insane as this guy who failed at playing a real life version of Frogger yesterday. A 23 year old dumbass from South Carolina was struck by

When talking about the Call of Duty series we tend to only think about the developer, publisher, release date, and recent controversies involving Infinity Ward and Activision, but what about the person who gives the series it's behind the scenes story to ensure that gamers are having an aunthentic experience for what the game is based on?  In a recent interview with AOL News, the real life Persian Gulf veteran and military history teacher at West Point, retired Lt. Col Hank Keirsey talks about h

The countdown is complete and the sarcasm has returned.  Who was the most fail-tacular in the world of all things games this past week? Cheaters, you filthy worthless beings who make gaming difficult for the rest of us receive the Fail of the Week Award. This week the cheaters of the gaming universe united in Bungie's swan song, Halo: Reach.  Unfortunately for them, Bungie swung the banhammer resetting the credits of 15,000 losers who found an exploit to gain unlimited credit points and bann

It was raining hard. It was the kind of rain that would make a person want to stay inside all day, while drinking a cup of hot coffee staring out the window, but for one soldier he had to keep going. He slowly moved through the buildings going door to door making sure the rooms were clear. The pitter patter of the rain on the roof was making it difficult to listen for the footsteps of enemy soldiers, but he moved on yelling “Clear!” along the way. As he exited one building and was heading to tak

Some of you may remember back in May, some indie developers got together and put on a cool little pack of games for charity called the Humble Indie Bundle.  Enticing you with a hilarious video, you could choose how much you wanted to pay for the bundle, and how you wanted your money distributed between developers and charities.  It turned out very successful, and it seems they're at it again, with even more great games.  The best part is you can still choose what to pay.  You could donate a pitt

A trailer for Beachhead Studio's Call of Duty Elite has been leaked onto Youtube and Activision was quick to yank it down this morning due to copyright issues. The recent announcement of Beachhead Studios working on the pay to play Call of Duty service that is titled, "Call of Duty Elite" has left fans either shaking their heads at the notion of paying to play for yet another service of their beloved series or others just simply saying, "don't like it, don't play it". This service would mix tog
