Whatever it is, it must be a Japan-only thing, as only theJapanese language version of the official siteforPeace Walkerfeatures the same cardboard box icon. Clicking it links back to this new tease page....

Adventure is not dead: Wizarbox on point and click

Chances are, you’ve unwittingly played a Wizarbox game before, even if you’ve never heard of them. Actually, I should clarify — you’ve probably played a game that Wizarbox hasworked on, and you’ve never heard of them. You see, Wizarbox are the unsung heroes of video game development, a cloak-and-dagger studio whose primary function lies in ports, localizations, conversions, research and development, and other ninja-esque, behind-the-scenes ventures. However, Wizarbox is now in the process of finishing their first in-house game, an old school point-and-click adventure game that hearkens back to theMonkey Islandera of yore....

Already!? The reveal trailer for Batman: Arkham Asylum 2

Arguably the biggest reveal of the night for the Spike VGAs wasBatman: Arkham Asylum 2, or whatever they’re calling the follow-up — a specific name wasn’t exactly given. Anyway, we pretty much knew this was going to happen, but an announcement so soon? I never saw it coming. In the trailer, we get a look at a much thinner, flat-out gross-looking Joker. I know he took a beating in the last game, but damn!...

Amazing War for Cybertron GameStop commercial is amazing

Usually, GameStop commercials are embarrassingly unfunny, but thisTransformers: War for Cybertronadvert is nothing short of fantastic. As you’ll see, the game not only has the touch, but it has the motherf*cking power! It sounds like these are the same voices that will appear in the game, and if they are, I’m impressed that Shockwave soundsexactlylike he did in the G1 cartoon to the point where I’m pretty sure it’s the original actor....

Atlus lays a subtle smackdown on ESRB leaks

I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again: God bless the gang at Atlus. While some companies would get all up in arms about the ESRB leaking unreleased information on their website, effectively taking the thunder away from marketing departments, Atlus is taking the road of most hilarity. In a press release today, Atlus has revealed that all future announcements regarding its games will be made directly through the ESRB website....

Other than that, it’s fairly similar toother trailersreleased for the game up to this point. I don’t usually play PC games, as my system limits what’s available to me, so I’m getting really impatient forBlood Bowlto release on consoles....
