Tweet Jace Hall may or may not be known to you, but he should be. Well, not personally, but you should at least be aware of his show, aptly titled The Jace Hall Show. Jace talks gaming with industry vets, movie and TV stars, and… other people, and it’s all done in a reality show [...]

Tweet Whaaaaaaat?! You haven’t played Gamma Bros yet? The awesomely retro and most pixelacious entry in the Independent Games Festival of 2007? You haven’t doom surfed in Dino Run? And what about helping the cutest pixel rodent you ever saw locate every last crumb of cheese in Rat Maze? TWICE? Pixeljam, cats — learn well [...]

Tweet The free (yes I said free) Championship Mode Expansion Pack DLC for Street Fighter IV will be released next week on April 24, with a bunch of new features.

Tweet The other day, someone acquired a copy of the moonspeak Japanese build of Final Fantasy XIII, and through the magic of the internets, broadcast a live stream of about 20 minutes of gameplay online. Approximately 10 seconds after the stream went down, the footage appeared on YouTube for all the world to see. And [...]

Tweet As Ripten’s resident coward, I still haven’t played F.E.A.R. Now F.E.A.R. 2 is out, and there’s a 100% chance I’ll never play that either, but for those of you that own F.E.A.R., you’ll be glad to know that the newest DLC is out, and it’s insane. Though I can’t say I’m a fan (or [...]

Tweet If you’re a huge fan of sports (like us here at Ripten or maybe just me), you’ve probably already heard the announcement of football legend John Madden retiring from broadcasting.

Tweet It’s the return of the Ripcast, gone from the spotlight for a few weeks (blame Zungre) but hopefully not forgotten. In Episode 14, we learn that Sam is last on the list of importance, John’s microphone is occasionally too loud for his demeanor, Dan is stuck in 3rd grade, and Beau is a woman. [...]

Tweet When Rare announced Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts for the 360, they alos announced that the original games would be coming to XBLA eventually. A couple of weeks ago, the first of the two hid Xbox Live Arcade, and Rare promised that the second would hit sometime this month, complete with an enhanced frame-rate [...]

Tweet Usually, a story about Twitter would have no place on Ripten, but this time, it’s totally related. Ashton Kutcher’s Twitter just surpassed 900,000 followers, and coincidentally, so did CNN’s. In the spirit of competition, Kutcher issued a challenge to CNN, to see who would become the first Twitterer (Tweeter? Twitt?) to reach one million [...]

Tweet Since E3 2005, there have been rumors of Devil May Cry 3 being ported to the PSP, but we have never heard anything substantial about it. The closest we ever got was when Sony accidentally listed Devil May Cry on a list of games supported by third-party companies, but they never bothered to comment [...]

Tweet Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II now has a demo available on Steam. The demo is single-player only, but if you’re looking for more multiplayer, the game is 25% off until Monday April 20. The game seems to be getting plenty of acclaim, and this is the best chance you’ve got to try the [...]

Tweet These Grim Fandango Manny and Glottis figures, while sadly not for sale, are still fantastic enough to be worth posting about. Ian Reekie created these figures from scratch, in a brilliant display of sculpting talent. Just be glad it was such a classic game that his attention was given to, eh? Imagine if he’d [...]

Tweet As we reported earlier in the week, Guerilla Games’ first downloadable content for Killzone 2, dubbed “Steel and Titanium”, is due to be available sometime this month. Well, now we know for sure that the map pack will hit the PlayStation Network on April 30. Featuring two new maps, Wasteland Bullet and Vekar Cruiser, [...]

Tweet I’m sure there are still a few of you that haven’t forgotten that Tekken 6 actually exists, especially if you’ve been lucky enough to have played the game already on a Japanese arcade machine. I’d just like to point out that they got the game a year and a half ago, and we have [...]

Tweet [vimeo width="510" height="383"]http://www.vimeo.com/4159817[/vimeo] My love affair with Klonoa is absolutely no secret- I played Lunatea’s Veil back in 2002, and have been looking forward to the series’s revival ever since. Of course, when Namco-Bandai announced the new Klonoa last October, I was at a crossroads. Sure, the game is a remake of  the Playstation’s [...]
