Duke Nukem doesn’t stay down for long. That’s the somewhat ironic message froma new Facebook accountthat is teasing something calledD-Day, which appears to be some sort of fresh game starring the gum-chewing king of first-person stupidity. WhateverD-Dayis, it has a screenshot, as you can see. Whether or not this has anything to do with the fabledDuke Nukem Foreverremains to be seen. It’s looking like it will be a brand new entity, perhaps a total replacement for Forever....

Pay no attention to the silly kids that jumped around on the stage at Microsoft’s E3 press conference. They might have left a bad taste in your mouth. That was definitely the case for me. The on-stage presentation forKinect Disneyland Adventuredid not look good. It looked pretty janky, actually. But seeingKinect Disneyland Adventurein person changed my mind. It’s cute! It’s also one of the first Kinect games that allows free roaming....

The Advertising Standards Authority has been an annoying thorn in the side of the videogame industry for a while, having posters and commercials pulled, often for silly reasons. The ASA might be right this time, however,pulling a TV commercialfor Electronic Arts’Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09, which can no longer be shown in its current form. The basis of the complaint is the fact that, despite sporting a Wii logo at the end of the advert, EA has (naturally) chosen to use footage from the Xbox 360 version of the game....

Haven’t made up your mind about whether or not you’ll be attending this year’s E For All? It’s only a week away, you don’t have much time to decide. What, playableSuper Smash Bros. Brawlisn’t going to do it for you?Well perhaps Electronic Arts has what you need — how does getting some hands on time withRock Bandsound? I’ll tell you how it sounds, damn it — it sounds great! Other titles on hands that are not Rock Band (and therefore, will be ignored) include:The Simpsons Game;Warhammer Online;Smarty Pants;The Orange Box: Team Fortress;Medal of Honor: Airborne;Medal of Honor: Heroes 2;NFL Tour; and the ambiguous “EA Mobile....

Admittedly, a few of a us did a “WTF?” double-take when Electronic Arts said it would be bringing their third-person action-horror titleDead Spaceto the Wii. But it’s happening, and here are your first details … The game will be calledDead Space Extraction, and will act as a prequel to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions that hit shelves late last year. The game tells the story of space colonists trying to escape an infection on Aegis VII, a space mining colony, introducing a new female character into the mix....

IfMushroom Men: The Spore Warswere just a slideshow of concept art on a DVD, there’s a pretty good chance that it would be a successful retail product. Artist Frank Teran’s highly stylized and “campy“ comic book-esque concept art for Red Fly Studio’s upcoming Wii game is simply that cool. Fortunately, there’s what appears to be a pretty slick game behind the art, and we had our first chance to see it in action at this EIEIO 2008 in Austin last week....

LucasArts has confirmed upcoming downloadable content forStar Wars: The Force Unleashed IIby way ofIGN. The content will take place on Endor, set during the time frame ofReturn of the Jedi. It’s part of what LucasArts is calling the “infinite storyline,” where “what if?” scenarios that wouldn’t necessarily jive with Star Wars canon are played out. “To be honest, we just thought it was a really cool avenue to explore,” says Executive Producer Gio Corsi of the content....

Scott, Ramona, Knives, the evil ex’s and more are all available for you to nab and use as your Forum avatars or something! I adore everything Paul Robertson related and it’s so great that he’s finally put out a game....

Ubisoft is showing Europe some love with a couple of limited editions forAssassin’s Creed II. The game will be available in “White” and “Black” editions with different goodies in them. The “White” edition is available exclusively at GAME retailers and will run £59.99 on consoles and £49.99 on PC. It features a statue of Ezio in his trademark, open arms pose. He measures about eight and a half inches tall and looks pretty cool, in my opinion....

I catch sh*t frequently about my dislike of these plastic instrument videogames. That’s not to say that I don’t think others shouldn’t play them, though. It’s just that I don’t enjoy them, much like Nick Chester does not enjoy anything where you have to pick battle commands from a text menu. My co-workers would assume that I’d get some kind of joy in saying thatmusic games are goingdownor something in the like....

Mommy’s Best Games, the peeps behindWeapon of ChoiceandShoot 1UPon Xbox Live Indie Games, have been hard at work on their gameGrapple Buggyfor some time now. Their goal is to have this latest title appear on the proper Xbox Live Arcade but have had difficulty securing a publisher and the development cash which comes with one. Rather than beg for donations as is often the case with indie developers, they’ve decided to produce a new Xbox Live Indie Games title instead....

Remember a while back when I brought you allthe heartwarming storyof Blizzard’s good deeds toward a youngWorld of Warcraftfan whose HP was being sapped by cancer? It gets better! WoW Insider, the only member of the Joystiq family sans drool bib, bringswordof Blizzard’s final gift for young Ezra Chatterton, a world first epic mount. The mount,a burning phoenix, has long been rumored to exist in-game, but until it was presented to Ezra, no one had been able to find it via legal means....

Ubisoft has launched itsofficial Web site forPrince of Persia: Forgotten Sands, and yeah — it’s a game Web site. Right now, there’s nothing much there. The trailer that premiered at the Spike game awards is there. There’s also some screenshots and some game info, but that’s not new, either. In fact, there’s very little here of note, unlike the recently launched JapaneseThe Last GuardianWeb site. So why am I telling you about this?...
