*UPDATE* – Actually, someone pointed out that Nova is actually blonde. This is most likely pre-infested Kerrigan since she was a red head. From looks of it this is probably a flash back of when Mengsk abandons her and she gets taken by the Zerg.
Yea that’s right, this looks a lot like Nova from the [...]

I’m still not sure what to think of this. The Mortal Kombat franchise is buried in failure. Even a dark realistic take on Mortal Kombat like this can’t fix the broken franchise. Most people will feel obligated to watch this nostalgic garbage but we should know better. The only thing I can applaud the writers [...]

More screens here
I have to say I’m a bit disappointed. The character models look too sharp and the use of the Resident Evil 5 engine is very obvious with the dark shadows.
I’m hoping the gameplay exceeds MvC2, or this visual nightmare may keep me away from this game all together.

New screens of the 5 maps incoming with the new MW2 Resurgence Pack. Two maps are from the original Modern Warfare, Vacant and Strike. The three new maps are Trailer Park, Fuel and Carnival. The map pack will hit Xbox Live on June 3rd at a cost of 1200 MS.

Another 5 map package will be coming our way in June. It’s unknown how many maps are actually new and how many are rehashes from the original Modern Warfare.

First you’ll need a Madcatz Street Fighter IV Arcade FightStick for PS3 or Xbox 360. This stick is a great [...]

“Hell, it’s about time.”

Halo Reach Beta has been released today, and with it we also get a nice presentation video. Aisha Tyler’s trash talk covers up her Halo ignorance well enough but it’s hard to ignore that fact that Bungie/Microsoft have the budget to create a professional presentation for their Beta release. I can’t wait to see what [...]

Last year was the first year Madden shared the cover with multiple athletes. Troy Polamalu and Larry Fitzgerald reprised their Super Bowl roles on the Madden 10 cover. Unfortunately Troy Polamalu was injured in week one against the Tennessee Titans. He made a spectacular one handed interception and a tackle for a loss on Chris [...]

This Gears of War 3 ad popped up on Xbox Dashboards around the world this morning announcing the arrival of the epic conclusion.
This has been recognized as a likely mistake because Epic’s Cliff Bleszinski who was supposed to appear on the Jimmy Fallon show was bumped from April 8th to April 12th. It’s possible someone [...]
