Here’s a comprehensive look at what’s included inPac-Man & Galaga Dimensionsfor 3DS. Having played quite a lot ofPilotwings Resortin first-person view lately, I can certainly see the appeal toGalaga 3D Impact. It could be kind of neat. The real draw, though, seems to bethe bundled extras—Pac-Man Championship EditionandGalaga Legions, as well as the classic versions of each title. As for thePac-Manside of this package, I can’t help but be wary whenever Pac-Man has legs....

Anyway, mainstream media had made a startling discover on our Internets. They discovered the All Your Base Are Belong To Us fad and did a super cereal news report on it. Well damn, does this mean the fad is not cool anymore like they said would happen?...

Unlike othersitesandpublicationsquick to jump the gun on declaring the PlayStation 3 dead in their assessment,Wiredactually takes the common sense route: The PS3 is impressive, but just not what it should be yet. Truer words have never been spoken. Thank you Chris Kohler for bringing some perspective to this insanity: Sleek and powerful, the PlayStation 3 will eventually be worth its hefty price tag. But right now, Sony’s new game console remains an icon of teasing potential....

Hot off the wire tonight comes an announcement from 2K Games that thelong-rumoredreboot of theXCOMfranchise is, in fact, a reality. Not only that, but the title — coming to the PC and Xbox 360 — is being developed by the talented guys at 2K Marin, responsible for nearly achieving the impossible by making aBioShocksequelthat didn’t ultimately herald the apocalypse. That’s the good news. What’s the bad news? Well, it might not be bad news depending on your perspective, but I’m less than totally thrilled that the game will be in first-person....
