Tweet 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 [...]

Tweet 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 [...]

Tweet 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 [...]

Tweet The 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 [...]

Tweet 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 [...]

Tweet I 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, [...]

Tweet 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) [...]

Tweet In case you’ve never heard of Borderlands, above you’ll find a video that will show you exactly what it is. If you’re following the game, the above video will show you a load of great-looking gameplay footage from the game. It’s not often that an RPG gets my attention, but almost everything about Borderlands [...]

Tweet As you probably know, some of us at Ripten are big fans of The Witcher. This means that it is with great pleasure that I present to you some leaked footage of the sequel. The video is marked “internal” and obviously isn’t for public consumption, but who cares, eh? It looks bloody great. CD [...]

Tweet 2K Games have today announced that the hotly anticipated Bioshock 2 will be releasing on the 9th of February 2010. The release date will be the same for all platforms: PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. I’ll quickly take this opportunity to remind our PC gaming fans that Direct2Drive are offering the original Bioshock for [...]

Tweet By now you’ve probably heard of Scribblenauts, but if you haven’t you should know that it’s being hailed as the Savior of All Organic Life, a.k.a. one spot lower in a gamer’s mind than Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Scribblenauts allows you to write any noun on the DS screen and that word [...]

Tweet Gamer unseats The Happening as the worst movie I’ve ever seen. It’s a disgusting, abrasive movie made by someone who doesn’t understand or appreciate games and can only see the negative in the youth and culture that surround them.

Tweet Yes, this is as brilliant as is sounds. This mod, made by user “-Trase-”, does exactly as it says on the tin- replaces all the sounds (well, nearly all) with sound clips he’s recorded himself. I particularly like the machine-gun fire noises he’s made. This is why I love modding communities so much. It’s [...]

Tweet The remake of LucasArts’ classic adventure game The Secret of Monkey Island has been bumped down to just £3.49/$5 on Steam today, in honour of International Talk Like a Pirate Day, which is coming up on the Nineteenth. That’s what I like to call a good deal which you should probably take advantage of. [...]

Tweet The Australian games ratings board have refused to classify Left 4 Dead 2 for release. Because the game features a lot of blood and gore, it is only suitable for those who are 18 and over. Because the Australian ratings board (the OFLC) is ridiculous, they do not have an 18+ rating. Therefore, Left [...]
