It’s time! Time for another installment in THQ’s mixed martial arts fighting franchise,UFC Undisputed 3. UFC Undisputedtook the gaming world by storm in 2009, but its follow-upUFC Undisputed 2010didnt quite reach the same sales echelon as its predecessor despite critical acclaim. Maybe it was the fact that the game was touted as more of a refined version of 2009 rather than a full-fledged sequel (that’s the reason I skipped out.)...

He alsofiled suit against Microsoft and Nintendo, the latter for not allowing him to continue pirating Wii games. This time, the lawsuit troll has targeted Blizzard andWorld of Warcraft. Estavillo claims that Blizzard “continues to maintain a harmful virtual environment to many of its customers by forcing them to follow the game’s sneaky and deceitful practices....

A reader ofPSPFanboyrecently sent in a warning he received at a store after purchasing the add-on device: Due to a safety issue and high defect rate, we are issuing a product recall to anyone who has purchased a PSP Chotto Shot Camera after July 1st, 2008....

Red Dead Redemptionwill be out in two months, and I still feel like we don’t know much about it — aside from what Rockstar has been drip-feeding us in these short trailers. The latest one is devoted entirely to the many women that you, asJohn Marston, will encounter throughout the game. I find it rather surprising — and refreshing — that not only doesRed Dead Redemptionfeature numerous women, but that almost all of them appear to be rather strong-willed characters....
During today’s short-notice Nintendo group phone interview, Reggie Fils-Aime announced a Wii ‘rain check’ program partnership with specialty retailer GameStop. On December 20 and 21, consumers willing to give up the ghost and admit to their children that Santa isn’t real will have the opportunity to pick up a “rain check” for a Wii console. Paying in full will guarantee a console for pick-up sometime in January, with the caveat that the console must be picked up by January 29....

The townspeople had lived in peace for decades, with nary a worry or care to burden their hearts; until one fateful autumn night, there arose an eerie disturbance beyond the quiet mist what blanketed their villages by twilight. In the foggy distance could be heard the rattling of 8-bit; the vengeful clatter of long-forgotten cartridges. Tonight marked the unleashing of anancient radnessfrom ages past, and they called it … Episode 22....
In the days before a certain blue hedgehog came along to claim his throne as the defacto mascot, I imagine that the process of selection for properties to help consumers identify the brand as a fairly chaotic affair. The way I visualize it, there’s a huge bulletin board on a wall, covered with images of new IP, and the executives are throwing darts to determine what gets the greenlight. And, thus, we getGreendog: The Beached Surfer Dude, a lanky, mop-topped figure with no face and baggy shorts....

While Sony and Microsoft have movie capabilities in their latest console, Nintendo’s Wii is left without. But Curt Marvis, President of Digital Media for Lionsgate, feels like that could change soon. Marvis tells Variety that he thinks that Nintendo is working on a movie service. “The thing that is clearly a force in digital are the game devices,” he said. “I think when we see the Wii come into the market with the ability to stream movies, which I think is maybe going to happen as soon as this year, I think that’s going to be a big marketplace for digital distribution....
Yesterday, actress Estelle Getty — best known for her magnificent portrayal of spicy old bat Sophia Petrillo on the 80s television sitcomGolden Girls— passed away. She was 84. Obviously, we spent most of the day mourning her loss. But we couldn’t pass up these videogame tidbits: Send your videogame-related news and tips to[email protected]… because if you threw a party and invited everyone you knew, you would see the biggest gift would be from me, and the card attached would say “Thank you for being a friend....
According toGamefrontin all its direct-link-lacking glory, Sega has confirmed that the Xbox 360 version ofVirtua Fighter 5will be online-compatible, allowing gamers to play via Xbox Live. This might come as a kick of sand in the faces of PlayStation 3 owners because, of course,VF5lacks online play in its original PS3 incarnation. Wow, sucks to be Sony … again. Originally, the game’s developers stated that they would eschew online play for their game due to the fact that network play would affect the fluidity of the action and damage the framerate, something that’s very important to hardcore fighting game veterans....
