Sony CEO Jack Tretton made his Sony fanbase a huge promise that turns out might just be a big pile of poo. Tretton made the announcement at this year’s E3, regarding exclusive Saint’s Row: The Third multiplayer content that only the PS3 was getting. He promised users that they would be receiving an “over the top exclusive mulitplayer game mode.”. According to the fine fellows over at Joystiq both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions are the same and that there are no differences in either version. Joystiq did reach out to THQ and received a big fat, “no comment.”. Many websites are speculating that Tretton was speaking about Whored Mode, however the PC, Xbox 360, an…

Okay, I’ll admit it. I’m insanely jealous of this little boy’s room. Why do you ask? His bedroom is decked out in everything Portal including the artwork on his walls, bedding, lamps, and Glados. Yes, he even has his own Glados. But wait, it gets even better. The boy whose name happens to be as badass as his room, Vector, also has a Portal themed bathroom. Yeah, I know your jaw just dropped. via Joystiq Tweet This Post Post to Facebook View the full article

With the Wii U and Xbox Next in the works, many have been left wondering, what about Sony? Sony was a little more than late to the party when the Xbox 360 launched in 2005. According to Playstation Europe Boss, Jim Ryan, that will not be happening again. “I think we would consider it undesirable to be significantly later than the competition [with the next PlayStation].” Ryan told Eurogamer in a recent interview. Couple that statement with the recent headline from Edge stating that one huge Sony owned studio has halted work permanetly on the PS3 to begin developing the PS4, it looks like the battle of the next gen consoles is about to begin….again. via Eurogamer Twee…

Citing a development source from Microsoft, Eurogamer is reporting that the next Kinect will be so accurate that it will be able to read lips. If that turns out to be true, it could not only be a huge improvement on the motion sensing device itself, but also a plus for gamers who are physically disabled and need to utilize more voice commands. According to the source, “Kinect 2 will be so powerful it will enable games to lip read, detect when players are angry, and determine in which direction they are facing.” The source is also claiming that it will be able to send more information to the next gen Xbox. ” It can be cabled straight through on any number of technologie…

How does 26 Verizon Fios channels on the Xbox 360 sound for starting at $89.99 a month? What if I add that they are throwing in a free one year Gold subscription of Xbox Live and a free copy of Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary? Didn’t think so. Microsoft announced those details in a brief explanation of how the Verizon services will tie into their upcoming Xbox Live TV service. Unfortunately the details are disappointing. Besides the 26 channels and the high prices, this offer is only available to customers who use Verizon Fios internet and TV services and the 26 channels will be based on the “customer’s TV package”. The unnamed channels will be Kinect enabled meanin…

One trailer in particular stands out above the rest and the interwebs have taken notice. Maybe Hollywood will too. via Joystiq and Tweet This Post Post to Facebook View the full article

UFC fans will have to wait to watch UFC fights on their Xbox 360 until December 20, because Microsoft announced that the app has been delayed.

88 miles per hour, a DeLoreon, stolen plutonium, 1.21 gigawatts, and a Flux Capacitor. Those are the things it takes for time travel to be possible. Thanks to Doc Brown we know this and understand it. Sort of. I mean, what the hell is a gigawatt anyway. I guess for the purposes of this review that’s neither here nor there. Just know this going in, Doc is in trouble and it’s up to you to control Marty and figure out what’s going on and save Doc. The game starts in a very familiar way, but with some subtle differences. Einstein is loaded in to the DeLoreon and sent 1 minute in to the future. This is where things that you thought you knew, go off the rails. Once y…

Developed by: Ubisoft Montreal Published by: Ubisoft Platforms: Xbox 360, PS3, PC (reviewed) Players: 1 offline with 8 player multiplayer It’s that time again, where we sharpen our hidden blades and get ready to brutally assassinate hundreds of inept guards in our quest for the truth. You once again take up the mantle of Ezio Auditore da Firenze, now an old man, but still every bit as capable as in his previous outings. The formula still holds true, and most of the features from Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood have returned. Main story missions are in Sequences, or chapters, and most of them have bonus objectives to complete for full synchronization (a better score). Almo…

Developed by: Arrowhead Game Studios Published by: Paradox Interactive Platforms: PC Players: 1-4 Magicka has come a long way with all of the new updates and DLCs, but aside from the Magicka: Vietnam DLC, they’ve only been robes, items, and levels for the arena and versus modes. Now finally a true addition to the Adventure mode has been released. This isn’t a quick, challenging little map like Magicka: Vietnam either. There are three full chapters with checkpoints, bosses, and cutscenes. All the signature humor is there, with various areas, new and old, to explore. You start with none of your spellbook spells from the main adventure, but a few new ones await, such a…
