Tweet I’ve made this point at least three times this year, but if all goes as planned, there will be 20 Guitar Hero games in existence at the end of 2009. Yes, twenty. But since RedOctane and Harmonix sold the series after three games, the other 17 seems to have come straight from Activision, even [...]

Tweet As the Ripcast hits sweet 16, we recap last week’s show, go over our playlists, and talk a bit about some stuff in a really snotty, entitled tone. You know, because that’s what everyone does for their sweet 16. Television taught us a lot about the ways of the world. Join Solid Snake, Not [...]

Tweet Steam users will be able to access Left 4 dead completely free all weekend, starting at 12:01am GMT. Impatient players can pre-load the game so they can play the second it becomes free by going here and downloading the game ready to play. Obviously, I recommend you do this if you don’t already have [...]

Tweet Steam news is reporting that the official Dawn of War II soundtrack is available to download. Simply go here, scroll down, and download the archive. The 20 tracks are in 320Kbps, so that should keep all but the most avid audiophiles happy. Game soundtracks, for me, are in a strange category. They’re most often [...]

Tweet Remember when there was that rumour that the console version of The Witcher had been cancelled? It turns out it was partially true.

Tweet After news that Marvel vs. Capcom 2 was being released on Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network, resale values of the original game for PS2, Dreamcast, and Xbox plummeted.

Tweet Destructoid reports that Ubisoft have dripfed the press a few details about Red Steel 2, sequel to the Wii launch title, Red Steel. As you might have guessed from the image, the game will be set in a “desert city,” and will fully support WiiMotion Plus. Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and [...]

Tweet Rumors are always a gamble, especially rumors that have been translated from a foreign language. If this one turns out to be true, The Witcher may not see the light of day on consoles.

Tweet While this really isn’t a surprise, what with Max Payne 3 on the way and the ESRB leak late last month, it’s awesome nonetheless.

Tweet For a couple of years now, we’ve been hearing rumors of Capcom and Marvel rereleasing Marvel vs. Capcom 2 online, but had never heard anything substantial, due to Capcom keeping a tight leash on any info they had. Well too bad, Capcom- an hour ago, in one fell swoop, Marvel announced Marvel vs. Capcom [...]

Tweet A few days ago I reported that the Joker would have his own playable challenge missions in the PlayStation 3 version of Arkham Asylum. It should come as no surprise that the Joker is very, very popular; apparently popular enough to give the PS3 version of the game a dramatic lead in pre-orders.

Tweet This week in new game releases is a bit better than the past few with X-Men Origins: Wolverine hitting all consoles and the WWII stealth action of Velvet Assassin for the 360 and PC. Oh, and as reported earlier, Stalin vs. Martians was delayed from last week and pushed to this week, so watch [...]

Tweet Stalin Vs. Martians, the upcoming RTS that features the Red Army fighting off an alien invasion, was originally slated for an April 20th release. For unknown reasons the game was delayed, but those who can’t wait to play as Joseph Stalin don’t have to wait much longer.
