Tweet Created in 2002 by Tommy Tallarico and Jack Wall, Video Games Live has become an unique aspect attached to the interactive entertainment industry. With growing demand, VGL has announced 45 new tour dates for the 2009 schedule.

Tweet So here’s the plot of the latest City of Heroes mission: Samantha is really upset–so upset she has a blue emo tear stain–because her cousin Jimmy died last year and the crew of same whack-job TV show called Voices from Beyond claims he has a message for her. Your job is to go to [...]

Tweet Star Ocean 4 released on the Xbox 360 in Japan has hit the list of one of the best selling games for the system in Japan.  Sitting high with Blue Dragon and Tales of Vespia.  It seems as though Japanese RPG’s are the way to 360 sales in Japan.

Tweet I’ve never been a RTS fan, especially when the genre tries to break into the console market.  At best there is a distinct sense of a lack of control in the game, and at worst it’s unplayable.  Obviously, any excitement for Halo Wars was lost on me.  Recently, however, I got to reminiscing about [...]

Tweet The Call of Duty: World at War patch that was released today for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 added a new daytime version of the “Makin” multiplayer map, along with other new features and bug fixes. The patch adds the re-lit map for free, which is fabulous and completely fair seeing that the [...]

Headliners include Punch-Out Wii, which will hit stores on May 18, and Excitebots: Trick Racing, an Excitebike-style racing game that uses the Wii Wheel, coming out on [...]

Tweet Unlike some other websites (we won’t name names, but let’s just say it’s all of them), the best time to proclaim the game of the year is not at the end of the year. How can you adequately compare all of 2008′s games when they kept releasing right up to the end of December? [...]

Tweet Square Enix’s latest in the Dragon Quest series (coming to the DS on March 28th in Japan), is all the talk.  Pre-orders are rampant at local 7-11′s and you see more and more people with slime toys every day.  A new feature that is being added uses the Nintendo WiFi technology to let you [...]

Tweet Ripten Radio returns once again with the latest and greatest in all things called “the Ripcast”. Yes, that means Episode 11 is about to wiggle its way through your ear canal and infect your brain with lots of penis talk– err, I mean games. Game talk. Join host Jonathan Zungre (who sounds different this [...]

Tweet The page has updated for the last time today; the update has been released. Yesterday’s poll saw that the “Force-a-Nature” will be unlocked first, followed by the Sandman, and finally the energy drink. There have been a few other changes, including something I have been wanting for a long time- the ability to change [...]

Tweet Day 5 on the update page, and today it’s the Scout’s final weapon, the “Force-a-Nature”. This gun reloads slower and has a smaller clip, but knocks back enemies and, when fired while airborne, propels the user higher. Also today is a brand new TF2 T-Shirt, the “Force – a – nature t-shirt“- featuring none [...]

Tweet Looks like Ripten readers love them some PS3 exclusives, because Metal Gear Solid 4 put down Little Big Planet by a razor thin margin to win The Ripten Readers Game of 2008. Thank you all for your well thought out and fun comments, you guys really did do us proud and just reassured us [...]
