It's going to be a busy weekend. ...

Metal Gear Online Beta Delayed
2008-04-22 16:35:03
After a weekend full of server load issues and unhappy gamers, the Metal Gear Online beta has been delayed. Originally scheduled to be available this morning, the beta test of Konami's upcoming online version of its stealth action series has been bumped back to a tentative April 25 start date, with a warning that Konami may fail to fix the issues and be forced to move it back even further. On April 17, would-be players who had acquired access to the beta from Konami found that they were unable to complete one or more steps in the process. Some players couldn't register a "Konami ID" with the company, required to play the game. Some were given faulty promotional codes that wouldn't let them download the software. And most found that a required patch simply couldn't be downloaded, apparently because of extreme server load issues. In the face of this massive, multi-pronged failure, Konami said on the official MGO website today that it would push the start date of ...

SHIFT 2 Walkthrough
2008-04-21 21:07:09
The original SHIFT was an interesting platform game that used negative space as an entertaining hook, but it came with a few problems that ultimately made it feel unfinished and experimental. Now, Tony of Armor Games has released SHIFT 2, which is basically the game the first one should have been. It's not enough of a leap forward to warrant the "2" in its name, really, but it refines and expands upon the original concepts to deliver a smoother, more drinkable dose of run/jump/puzzle distraction.Once again, you take control of a hapless research subject in a monochromatic laboratory filled with spikes and blocky architecture. Move left and right with the arrow keys, jump with [space], and shift between the worlds of black and white with—well, I won't spoil that for you. That's your first puzzle. Shifting flips your hero through the floor beneath her feet, reverses her color, and turns the entire world over. Solid black blocks become empty space, mountains become valleys, pits become ...

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe Announced
2008-04-20 21:49:12
In what has to be the weirdest crossover I have ever seen, Midway has announced Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, the eighth entry in the fighting series, which will see characters from either franchise duke it out against each other. In development at Midway Amusement Games, the game is powered by Unreal Engine 3 and is slated to hit PS3 and Xbox 360 this Fall. Four characters have been confirmed so far: Superman and Batman from DC Comics, and Mortal Kombat veterans Sub-Zero and Scorpion. The game, if comments made by a Midway representative are true, will not feature the series' trademark ultra-violent Fatalities. This may be due to the inclusion of DC Comics characters. However, players will still be able to pull off some form of a finishing move. The storyline is said to be a collaboration between the Mortal Kombat team and DC Comics writers Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray. Apparently, the game picks up as "a cataclysmic force merges conquerors from two universes." More details are ...

New Soul Calibur IV trailer.
2008-04-18 06:46:56
Namco Bandai sure has been keeping the Soul Calibur info coming strong lately, and the newest piece of media we've got is the latest trailer for the game.Amazingly, this is the first hint we've seen of anything other than blank stares on the characters faces, and it's good to know that Namco actually has some facial animators on its payroll. Much of the trailer consists of just emotional character shots with big ol' words splashed across the screen. But mercifully, towards the middle, some actual snippets of gameplay get spliced in, including some of Vader and Yoda. (Nerd moment: Look everyone, a Star Wars docking bay stage!) ...

Pokemon Opal or Onyx coming to DS in 2008?
2008-04-16 04:35:00
The latest issue of Japanese gaming magazine CoroCoro has hinted at a new Pokemon game coming out later in 2008. It’s suggested to be a followup to Pokemon Diamond and Pearl that fans have dubbed Pokemon Opal or Onyx. Why? Because the third Diamond and Pearl legendary Pokemon Giratina was named after the opal gemstone Girasol. The magazine then continues by showing a timeline of the original games: The timeline lists Pokemon: Red and Blue, Gold and Silver, Ruby and Sapphire, Diamond and Pearl, which then continues with their respective follow ups Pokemon Blue, Crystal, Emerald. It then leaves an open space in 2008 for this new follow up game, implying it’s the third version of the RPG Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. The magazine promises to reveal more details in May 2008. — Via Serebii, box mockup via Marriland ...

A newer version of the Nintendo DS rumored
2008-04-16 04:26:11
Ok, so you can now officially start drooling over your PCs and notebooks because dudes I have just the juiciest dig for you! Word is that Nintendo is all set to introduce a new version of its bestselling DS handheld at the E3 gaming expo in the States over this summer. The new portable console is apparently going to be called the DS Extreme and will not feature the Gameboy Advanced port. The new DS is also expected to be lighter, slimmer and also a little cheaper than the original. Well, it was about time I say. I mean we have already had our very first DS for almost 4 years which makes it almost an antique in terms of technological finesse, and though the DS Lite is just two years old, we really wouldn’t mind getting our filthy over-gamed fingers on a newer, sleeker DS!

Johnny Lee's Wii-nnovations blow TED's collective mind

We've all witnessed the incredible ways that technomancer Johnny Lee can put a Wiimote to good use, but apparently, attendees of the TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) conference were unaware of the handheld peripheral's vast potential. You can actually hear their minds crackle, then implode as Lee shows off two of his cost-efficient tech demos -- the multi-touch whiteboard, and 3-D head tracking (which was further confirmed to be in EA/Speilburg's Boom Blox as an easter egg). Like all Johnny Lee videos, we can guarantee this to be the coolest thing you've seen today -- unless, of course, you've just watched the entire "American Ninja" quintology. ...

Is the PS3 inviting trouble by supporting mods?
2008-04-14 03:03:22
A key selling point to some people for the PS3 is the console's ability to support mods, like with Unreal Tournament 3.However, XNA group manager at Microsoft Chris Satchell thinks Sony is inviting trouble for allowing this. Specifically, if there aren't any XNA-style security measures to protect people from malicious content. You know, phallic drawings.Well, not entirely. His argument revolves around letting people have access to writing in a game's native mode and not a controlled layer like XNA (using analogies like "writing into the metal" and "sandbox" respectively). This brings about an interesting topic, though -- will peer-reviewed downloadable content really get monitored closely enough? Legal action will be brought against major offenders, to be sure, but is there really a complete and accurate way to keep the trash in the trashcan, so to speak? Leave your thoughts! ...

Word is that this headset is based on the wireless 360 headset on terms of design and functionality and will cost something like $60. The headset promises to become a much-coveted piece of gaming memorabilia with its cool color scheme and aesthetics that go with the look of the game as seen via media releases so far.Source: Kotaku ...

Classic PS2 review: Grand Theft Auto 3
2008-04-14 03:00:21
In 2001 a studio notable in the early nineties for the cutesy 2D strategy game Lemmings and in the late nineties for a popular top-down shooter released a game that overturned records for sales on the current generation of consoles and defined a new genre of videogames. The studio was Rockstar Games, the game was Grand Theft Auto 3. The previous GTA games had been 2D affairs, albeit with a level of emergent environmental activity and immersive, player-driven direction that was unusual, but nothing had indicated that anything of the scope, vision and ambition of GTA3 was in the works. Even when showcased, the arcade-style riot chaos of another Rockstar game, State of Emergency, attracted greater attention at industry shows. No one was quite prepared. (more…) ...
