Those are just a few of the enemies you’ll face in this shoot ‘em up.

In a gaming world where gamer stereotypes are abundant and the thought of being accused of not being a "hardcore" gamer would bring some to tears, you find a gem like this.

Surely most have heard of this by now, but Steve Jobs, the genius who gave us all the iPod, iPhone, and iPad, which exploded into the App and digital music age we are all enjoying today and will enjoy for generations to come, died today as a result of a rare pancreatic cancer.

Bethesda's games are very well known for the sheer amount of in-game content included in their titles. The studio has made some of the biggest and most detailed maps in games today, maps that provide hundreds of hours of possible quests. And that's just for one playthrough. I personally have sunk in over two hundred hours into both The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Fallout 3. But what if I were to tell you that the highly anticipated Elder Scrolls sequel, Skryim, could be completed in 2 hours and 16 minutes? In an internal competition, the developers raced through the game to see how fast they could complete it. The top two scores were clocked in at 2 hours, 36 minutes, …

Capcom has just bitched slapped those of you who purchased the March release of Street Fighter x Tekken with one little statement. “There is effectively no distinction between the DLC being ”locked” behind the disc and available for unlocking at a later date, or being available through a full download at a later date, other than delivery mechanism” Capcom’s statement was in response to the outcry from gamers regarding the on the disc DLC and unlocked at later date downloadable DLC for Street Fighter x Tekken. Just to clarify this issue even further, Capcom is saying that downloadable content on the game disc that you play on day one is no different from downloadable co…

Last week, Sony detailed their "Welcome Back" package to PSN users who had their personal information stolen during the PSN attacks. While thus far this has included free PSN Plus and free downloads, they have upped the ante with a free year subscription to Debix, Inc's AllClear ID Plus identity theft protection. Providing up to $1 million dollars in protection, this may help give some a piece of mind that even though their information was stolen, Sony is at least trying to ensure nefarious actions don't take place with your information.

As we all know, Ezio Auditore da Firenze is the biggest badass to come out of Italy in the past six hundred years. But how would you like to play as him against some of the whackier characters to come out of a Japanese fighting game? It is rumored that Ezio will be a playable character in Soulcalibur V. It's doubtful that you will be able to jump down from a rooftop and instantly assassinate your opponent, however Ezio is a master of many weapons and would make a great addition to the weapon based fighting in Soulcalibur. Soulcalibur is no stranger to cameo appearances, so this awesome rumor could very well be true. Source: Official XBOX Magazine Click here to view the ar…

A UK newspaper out of Norfolk, England has blamed the Resident Evil series for a vicious murder that transpired back in May. Their reasoning behind the comparison of the murder and the zombie franchise is because the three murders who the media has dubbed the “Resident Evil Killers” tortured a 44 year old man to death by using a pool cue, burned his body with boiling water, slashed his body up, and then carved the letter “J” on the victim’s face. A claw hammer and boning knife were among the weapons found at the scene. The trio of killers also mentioned the series while on the stand. The judge sentenced Ricky Roys; age 20, Andrew Brown; age 42, and Helen Cooke; age 1…

What game are you currently playing? Nothing specific really, I suppose Crysis 2 will be next in line since I just got it on sale, and it shouldn't take long to beat.

Ever since I was a kid I wanted to be a wrestler, however I'm only 5'6 160 and the ones wh…
