Guitar Hero 5 Box Art Is Pretty, Uh, Bad

Contrary to my usual anti-Activision diatribes, I’ve been pretty positive about Guitar Hero 5 ever since the setlist was announced in May. As a huge fan of Vampire Weeekend, Stevie Wonder, and Bob Dylan, I can’t complain about the partial setlist, but I can complain about this- Activision sent out the Guitar Hero 5 box [...]

*gasp* Man, that title is a mouthful. The second Call of Duty: World at War (seriously, I refuse to call it Call of Duty 5.) map pack just hit, and while presumably thousands of people are having fun with it right now, you might’ve just hoped it would hit the proverbial online bargain bin soon [...]

Xbox Not So Live Today

So I was playing Call of Duty: World at War last night over Xbox Live and all of a sudden I’m booted not only out of the lobby, but entirely off Xbox Live. I’m like WTF? Well, seems as if Microsoft felt the need to interrupt my fun to work on updates that will make [...]

E3 09: Dead Rising 2 Trailer

There may be no actual gameplay footage, but the video looks awesome nonetheless. The first Dead Rising was great despite its flaws, so I’m pretty excited for this one.

Datel’s Xbox 360 Memory Card Supports 16GB microSD/SDHC Cards

Xbox 360 piracy is already a problem. (From the view of the developers, anyway) So when Datel announces a memory card for the Xbox 360 with an SDHC/microSD card slot that you can use to backup game saves and “anything else on the Xbox” (up to 16GB worth), you know that they’re not really going [...]

Prototype Opening Sequence Has The Power To Drop, Dislocate Jaws

It’s becoming a bit of a trend for developers to release the opening cinematics to their games before their games release, and now I know why. Before watching this, I wasn’t that interested in Prototype, but if it’s anything like this, then this is a day one purchase for me. The sequence follows Alex Mercer, [...]

Confession time: I’ve never seen Ghostbusters. *ducks* Still, there are a bunch of films that I haven’t seen, but after hearing the innumerable praises of the film, and liking pretty much any other film Bill Murray’s been in, it seems a bit strange that I haven’t yet seen the film. Of course, if the film [...]

Gary Busey Talks About the Women of Saint’s Row, Is Still Completely Insane
