Warfare Wallpaper Contest 2009
by Dan Landis on September 30, 2009 at 11:03 pm
With Modern Warfare 2 coming out in a month, we here at Ripten thought it might be just a tiny bit cooler to run around with an actual gun in real life instead of just in a game. I mean, right? That would be cooler, right? Okay, well we can’t actually do that for several reasons, not the least of which is that we just don’t trust ourselves not to shoot people in the face. That’s what gamers do, right?
Echo1 has us covered with the next best thing: an airsoft rifle. If you don’t know what that means, it’s essentially a BB gun that shoots “harmless” plastic pellets. This one we have here should look familiar to you if you’ve played pretty much any shooter in the last 15 years, and it’s full scale and made of metal. How about you peoples show us some lovin’ and maybe you can get yourself one of these bad boys for FREE! Read more…

Splinter Cell Gets 2010 Release Date
by Dylan Duarte on September 24, 2009 at 2:04 am
It was announced a while back that Splinter Cell: Conviction was being pushed back into 2010. Hell, it was announced last year that the game was being delayed until this year. But we’ve finally got a solid release date in February 23rd, 2010, so mark your calendars. Mark it with pencil, though, in case the game gets pushed back.
God of War Collection to Include GoW III Demo
by Dylan Duarte on September 24, 2009 at 1:15 am
The God of War collection smashes onto the PS3 in less than two months featuring the full version of the first two games in the series. While that was enough to make me run out and preorder it (I actually powerwalked), the pot has just been sweetened: the collection will also come with a voucher to download the E3 God of War III demo. That’s right! There is a God. Of War. And he’s on his way.
Three Flight of the Conchords songs coming to Rock Band
by Sam Naylor on September 22, 2009 at 10:34 amThe above video shows the guys from the brilliant Flight of the Conchords promising that three of their songs will be coming to Rock Band in the future. Even though I’ve just told you all the game-related news about the video, still watch it. They’re funny guys.
I hope that they don’t ignore their old album. Tenacious D didn’t release Tribute, their finest song, until last week, despite having one of their new songs in Rock Band 2 as default. Business Time and Humans are Dead are great songs and should be in Rock Band, damnit.
PS2 and Dreamcast games coming to PSN?
by Sam Naylor on September 22, 2009 at 6:01 am
Destructoid have noticed this post on NeoGaf detailing a leaked document from SEGA. The document was leaked and includes a lot of goodies. The biggest piece of gossip is that “SCEA wants to sell all PS2 titles on PSN (GTA Vice City/Sonic/etc)”. Similarly, “If [SEGA] provide a list of DC (Dreamcast) titles SCEA will let us know which ones they’re interested in having exclusively.”
Yes, you may now say “wow, I hope this is real”. Journalist Jim Sterling notes that he “tried the download link and it certainly comes from Sega’s own PR site,” so this could be legit. I certainly hope so. Go to the links to see the full list, or hit the jump. Your choice.
Left 4 Dead mod is truly terrifying
by Sam Naylor on September 19, 2009 at 5:33 amI knew this would happen. From the day I set eyes on the Teletubbies, I knew that they would overthrow their masters, breed, and stalk the Earth, attacking all those who stand in their way. This vision has been recreated in the above video. A friendly warning: don’t show it to your kids.
Honestly, this is one of the scariest things I’ve seen done in Left 4 Dead. Forget seeing a Tank roar round the corner at you, the sight of the dead, bleeding eyes of these sickeningly colourful beings is just too creepy for me to hande. Not to mention their futile groans: “Tinky Winky…” I’ve been wary of the Teletubbies all my life, but this just tips it over the edge.

Need for Speed: Shift PC demo out now
by Sam Naylor on September 18, 2009 at 2:55 pm
It’s not often you get a demo that’s packed with content, but EA have announced that the PC demo for their attempt at a serious racing game has been released and can be downloaded here. The demo includes a lot (for a demo) of cars, and even an unlockable Zonda:
• BMW M3 (E46)
• 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10
• 2006 Lotus Elise 111R
• 2008 Nissan GT-R
• 2006 Pagani Zonda F (unlockable)
A PS3 and Xbox 360 demo is also coming early October, or of course you could just go out and buy the game, if you’re made of money.
