Immortal Defense gets a ‘pay what you want’ sale

Even though Anthony hasurged you allto downloadImmortal Defensea few times before, I think it’s safe to assume many of you guys don’t even know what the game actually is. Some of you hear the words “indie game” and immediately shut down. “Tower defense” seems to give off a similar effect as well. For once, you need to drop whatever preconceived notions you might have, and take something unfamiliar for a spin....

Interview: Operation Moonfall

Being the residentMajora’s Maskobsessive, I jumped at the opportunity to interview one of the founders of Operation Moonfall and Zelda Universe Webmaster, Cody Davies. For those that don’t know, Operation Moonfall is a fan-led attempt to bringMajora’s Maskto the 3DS following an interview withEiji Aonumastating that if there was enough fan support for a 3DS remake of the game,Nintendo might actually put it out there. As someone who valiantly championsMajora’s Maskas the best game ever (I will debate this to the death), and who thinks that it never got a fair shake as one of the last titles released for the N64, I am very glad to see that something like this may happen....

Janco Partners analyst says PS3 price cut announcement is coming

$5 off rabies is not a good deal. However, a $299 PS3 is a good deal, and if Janco Partners’ Mike Hickey has anything to do with it, we might just get our hands on that deal sooner than later. In a recent note to investors, Hickey stated that Sony needs to cut the price of the console by $100, and without the price cut the console may remain sitting on shelves waiting to be purchased....

Just Cause 2 demo now out for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360

Today isJust Cause 2demo day … this is a good thing! While the draw of ridiculous, genuinely over-the-top action is a serious one, prior to playing it I was more than a little worried about how everything would turn out mechanics-wise. A couple of tidbits worth mentioning about the demo: Basically, you need to play this thing. Getit hereon Steam,click thisto queue up the Xbox 360 demo, or run (walking is overrated) to your PlayStation 3 and start the download using your hands like the rest of the world....
