It’s been five years since America got a newSamurai Shodowngame (not counting the anthology), but the wait is almost over.Samurai Shodown Senhas finally made its way over to the States from Japan, and will be releasing on March 30th for Xbox 360. I don’t know much about SNK games (mostly because I am much worse at them than I am atStreet Fighter), so I asked CronosBlade and Hitorogoshi, the biggest SNK fanboys I know, what they thought of the game....

The Jeff Schleffelbein’s Sinister Pointe attraction venue in Orange County is getting a verySilent Hillmakeover this Halloween, whichwe already knewabout. The 10,000 square feet vacant movie theater will see all sorts of creepy nurses, Pyramid Heads and other scary things from theSilent Hilluniverse as they try to scare people into having heart attacks. The haunted maze kicks off on October 2 and will last until October 31. It’ll be open from 7PM to 10PM on Weekdays and 7PM to 12AM on Weekends....
What’s better than a cool looking but ultimately useless vintage NES peripheral? Why, a large quantity of them, of course. That’s the theory from Ebay user andyarcade, who currently hasan auction upfor 39 Famicom Power Gloves mint in the boxes. How he has that many mint is anyone’s guess, but I’m going to wager it has something to do with theft, drug use and scrotum poaching. The current bid is about $83 and it ends on March 22nd....
Sonic the Hedgehog 4, originally scheduled for release next month, has today been delayed by Sega. Hardly surprising, considering the release was creeping ever closer with only leaks and speculation to promote it. The game has now been slated for “late” release this year. “SEGA is incredibly happy at the overwhelmingly positive response toSonic The Hedgehog 4 Episode Ifrom both press and fans around the world, and wants to ensure that we’re delivering the best Sonic experience possible,” states Sega....
About a week ago I finally went out and boughtGuitar Hero 3, a lack of cash to drop on a fullRock Bandsuite and impatience getting the better of me. While I’ve enjoyed my week of rocking out in the privacy of my own home, I still couldn’t help purpling the air with oaths at my own impulsive purchasing when I read the news thatRock Bandperipherals will be available on February 12th....
This won’t be new to a select few, but the Mac version of Vlambeer’s stellarSuper Crate Boxis now availableas a free download, much like its Windows counterpart. Thankfully, tipster Tim was able to remind me about this news, and now I feel bad for originally neglecting to cover it. You would be wise to download either version if you have ever fancied arcade-style games with modern design sensibilities. While on Vlambeer’s site, I happened to notice something odd:Super Puppy Boy....

Usually these “kid acts like a brat over videogames” stories are stupid, butthis oneis simply disturbing. 17-year-old Daniel Petric is on trial for the murder of his mother and attempted murder of his father, where it is alleged he shot them both in the head because they wouldn’t let him playHalo 3. Mark and Susan Petric would not let their then-16-year-old-son buyHalo 3, something he went and did anyway, before getting caught....
Mere mention of the Lucasarts classic adventure gameLoomthrows me back into memories of childhood quicker than I can take a breath. At age 12, I stared at a single screenshot of the game in a PC magazine with something I can only describe as near-physical hunger. Brandishing the magazine, I shook it in my parents faces. “I have to have a computer, Mom! LOOK AT THESE GRAPHICS!” My sweet parents patted me on the head and sent me back to my room....
Gotham City isn’t just an incandescent outline that surrounds an island fitted to contain the deranged. Those exposed to justBatman: Arkham Asylummay have gotten that impression — the misshapen metropolis wasn’t a part of the package. And while it appears as if the follow-up will keep that concentrated design decision in mind, it wouldn’t be wise to think the Bat is headed back to Asylum: in the words of a developer, that location has “almost run its course....
Chad wrote a feature today on the irrational things he does in videogames and it frightened me. I’m guilty of almost all of these acts also. We’re like obsessive-compulsive brothers. Shank came out today and we have a review. Dead Nation snuck in a beta, a deluxeSims 3is on the way, PAX is embracing chiptune performers and more happened on 22-05-2025.
