I have no idea what is being said in this FrenchWorld of Warcraftcommercial, but I do know that it stars famed film star Jean-Claude Van Damme. How ironic is it that the same guy thatonce asked“Aren’t you a little old for videogames?” is now selling the most popular PC videogame?These look to be made in the same format as the US commercials, although they do say “Warcraft” kind of funny....

Having recently played through some updated preview code of Visceral Games’Dante’s Inferno, a question ate at me — what punishment could there be that’s worse than being in Hell? The question comes from one of the game’s key gameplay elements — upgrading Dante’s abilities. Unlike titles likeGod of WarorDarksiderswhere your only “finishing” option involves violent death,Dante’s Infernooffers you two choices — Punish or Absolve. Absolve has you quickly tapping a button to use Dante’s cross to deliver creatures from Hell, an atonement for their sins....

John “Big Dawg” Thompson wants over $25,000 from Electronic Arts, as well as an injunction to stop the publisher using his “face” in future games....

Jim Sterling thought I had seen a ghost or something when I ran into him on my way back to the press room at E3. What actually left the look of shock on my face was that I just got hands-on withBattlefield 3’smultiplayer. I only got about fifteen minutes of action, but it was enough to blow my mind.

Spoiler alert! This trailer starts right at the very end ofAssassin’s Creed: Brotherhood‘s “wtf?” ending. If you didn’t play that game yet, you won’t understand a single thing. But you also might want to skip this trailer. If you did finish that game, this is what Desmond’s subconscious trapped in the Animus will look like. It would appear that Desmond goes throughOblivionportals into April Ryan’s world, to traverse someInceptionstyle dream-world....

Ah, the magic of ESRB rating summaries. The beauty of their hilarity comes from the deadpan way in which they’re written, completely dry and with no sense of irony as they describe ludicrous and lurid details with a completely straight face. The latestunintentional comedyfrom the ESRB comes by way ofMuramasa: The Demon Blade. Check it out: During the course of the game, players can interact with various characters, some of whom make suggestive comments (e....
