These days it seems like companies will do anything to squeeze a buck out of gamer’s already tight pockets. With limited edition console themed versions of video games releasing to answer every fanboys undying pleasure, it appears that video game themed consoles bundles are beginning to take the place of limited and special edition versions of video games. Are these overpriced bundled consoles swaying the gamer’s opinions to buy not only the game, but the console or more importantly are gamers even taking notice? “i stray away from them. after the novelty wore off, you’d be wanting for a classic look.” -MajorWhiteBoy Microsoft is one of those companies that tend to put…

Gabbin’ with Gamercide An interview with Chris Geehan & Dan Byrne-McCullough – Hyperduck Music Studios About a year ago we did an interview with the guys from Hyperduck Music Studios. In our first follow up, we see what the guys have been up to, what’s new, and dig for some big announcements. That said, let’s get started and see what we can find out. Q – Alright guys, for the uninitiated, give us a quick introduction to who HyperDuck Studios is and how you guys got started. (Don’t worry; I’ll add the shameless plug for you.) Chris: Sure thing Shawn. Hello! We are HyperDuck Music Studios! We’re a two duck/man team that composes records and produces music and…

With so much going on at E3 this week, I’m going to try and cover as much as I possibly can, which is no small feat. I will miss some things, I’ll guarantee you that. Head over to the forums and post about anything I missed, or to discuss what I’ve listed. I won’t cover everything in depth, but I will hit the major announcements. Let’s get started: Microsoft finally announced the real name for Project Natal, Kinect. They showed Kinect Sports, a few fitness games, a Sonic game, a Forza game and an exclusive Star Wars game. They also detailed Kinect video conferencing, voice controls for movies/music, and the motion controls for video/music as well. The add-on hits…

I see that this title doesn't have the Live logo on the cover. I was really looking forward to running this on my quad core. So what's the story on why this isn't going to be released for Games Windows Live when the first one was. Looks like Kane and Lynch 2 will be burning up my optical drive in my 360 S instead...

ok, the dude that killed all those folks at that beer plant......they're arresting people. one lady is charged with sixth degree larson for taking beer off his truck, but he gave it to her. in fact, that's why he was fired and shot the place up. this other guy is arrested for undermining the peace or something. he said he understands why the guy did what he did. true, that's a messed up thing to say, but arresting him? i'm confused.... http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/08/06/police-man-arrested-conn-company-saying-understood-mindset-shooter-killed/?test=latestnews

Is it just me or is the forum acting up for everyone? I couldn't log on a few times..it said fatal error. Now all of the text is dark blue and instead of what the title for a thread, it has been replaced by numbers.

Found this on Gizmodo. I find it highly amusing how some people banter back and forth and edit Wiki pages in a nonstop barrage of point/counterpoint. Some of them are stupid, like spellings of things like Sulfur/Sulphur, Aluminum/Aluminium, etc. Some of them are strange, asking questings like "Should a picture of an Anus be included on the source page? Male or Female? Hairless or "moderately hairy". I can't believe that over ten thousand edits have been made over Ann Coulter's birthday. Wow... LoL Enjoy!.

Article 2 has been posted. Thank you everyone for your input and I will soon be posting the next topic. I hope you guys enjoy it Linky For some reason the images are taking long to load. I don't know if it's on my end or everyone is having issues. I apologize if everyone is.

“I usually don’t think about it. I know I probably play a few games that people like my parents may find offensive, but it really doesn’t bother me. I just play them for what they are meant for… entertainment. Now while I can see many games that are debated by people as being offensive, media and other really don’t mention the fact that these things deemed “offensive” can be avoided. In Mass Effect, you can avoid the sex scene, and in Modern Warfare 2, opt out of playing the airport mission, or just do what I did and not have the heart to shoot anyone. Honestly, in these days, almost anything can be deemed “offensive,” but does that mean it really is?” -Skylark95 Of-fen-s…

It is discussion time! Remember all opinions will be tied with your gamertag Is the XBL Marketplace overpriced as a whole or is it just certain content? Think about themes, gamer pics, avatar items, Zune Marketplace, and DLC....all of it. Where do you stand when it comes to the pricing? Feel free to make comparisons to PSN and the Wii store too! Thanks everyone

http://kotaku.com/5609770/rumor-borderlands-studio-reviving-duke-nukem-forever if this is true, this very well COULD be an amazing game. Gearbox did awesome with Borderlands, and if they are able to really hammer down DNF it could be AWESOME.

http://www.sketchswap.com/ Draw a picture and submit it. You'll swap pictures with someone else who drew something! It's pretty addictive. I've been "trying" to draw Goku all morning (which I can normally do), but it's hella hard with the computer mouse and not a real pen/pencil/piece of paper. hahahaha
