There’s always a huge crowd in The Behemoth’s booth here at Comic-Con 2011. They’re all there to play the massiveBattleBlock Theaterarcade cabinets.The cabs feature HD screens, joysticks and buttons, but there’s an Xbox 360 in their innards powering this game. You should see how huge these things are! I’m sure it took a forklift to move even one around. Attendees are diggingBattleBlock Theater, which is a blend of platformer and cooperative puzzle play....

TimeGate Studio’sSection 8, a multiplayer-heavy shooter that looked like it was going to be mediocre but ended up being decent, was never released for PlayStation 3. Word on the street is it could still happen, and it probably will still happen. Uh, yay? A rep from TimeGate told IGN the port is scheduled for release, but no one seems to know when said release will take place. I suggest you guys go buy a nifty calendar to help keep y’all organized, perhaps somethingalong these lines....

It’s come to our attention thatSerious Sam HD: The First Encounterwas recently given a loving update from Croteam, and we wanted to return the favor. The main draw here is the new 16-person Deathmatch mode with 7 maps, 22 Steam Achievements, and Spectator mode support. There are a number of less important (but still totally neat) additions thrown in the mix, plus a few bug fixes; all of this can be seen in detail after the break....

The fine fellows of Focus Home Interactive have seen fit to share with us four new screenshots forThe Testament of Sherlock Holmes, the new detective game being developed for the PS3, 360 and PC. Developer Frogwares would like to clarify that this is the very first Sherlock Holmes game being developed specifically with the 360 and PS3 consoles in mind. This will be interesting for certain. I’m unfamiliar with Sherlock’s previous exploits in the gaming realm, but the character is said to have inspired real investigation techniques through his stories....

Singularity, thatotherActivision-published first-person-shooter that everybody’s forgotten about, has been slated for a June release. The game was mentioned briefly in Activision’s latest financial call, where some has assumed it was given a May release date. Activision’s minister of propaganda, “One of Swords,” has stated that this isn’t the case. Singularityis an interesting new FPS from Raven Software that centers itself around aHalf-Life 2styled gravity gun gimmick. Plenty of sucking and blowing of debris is on the cards, as well as a suitable collection of freaky enemies....

WhenSix Days in Fallujahwas first announced as an FPS based upon the real-life Middle Eastern conflict, people jumped at the chance totake a sh*tall over it. Konami lost its nerve and dropped the title, while studio Atomic Games was declared “pretty much dead.” Fortunately for Atomic, it’s still alive, and apparently so isSix Days. Studio president Peter Tamte confirmed the game still has a pulse while talking to theMarine Corps Times....

Japanese newspaper Nikkei has cited Sony CEO Sir Howard Stringer saying Sony plans to release a tablet by the of this summer,Bloombergreports. This Sony tablet will run on Android 3.0 Honeycomb and will supposedly hit ths U.S. first. Engadgetrevealed the existence of this tablet, codenamed S1, in February and later confirmed it’s a PlayStation Certified device. If Engadget’s sources are correct, the device would sport a 9.4″ capacitive touch screen with a 1280×800 resolution, front- and rear-facing cameras, a USB port, an IR port....

Sony is holding a PlayStation Experience meeting in London today, where’s spilling the beans on the hottest PS3 games of the year. Chief among them isinFAMOUS 2, with a bunch of new screens and a trailer. The trailer shows the return ofinFAMOUS 2‘s “morality” system, where you get to choose between doing something quite good or destructively malicious. It ain’t subtle, but I guess it gets the job down. You’ll hear Cole’s new voice, which I quite like, and see the return of the “comic book” cutscenes....

Earlier today, Microsoft minister of propaganda Aaron Greenberg boasted aboutHalo 3beating the combined sales figures of some of Sony’s hottest exclusives. Not a classy brag, but a brutal one nonetheless. Sony has responded, by way of UK PlayStation boss Ray Maguire, and the reaction is a very firm shrug of the shoulders. “Well I’m really happy with them because as I said, we’re selling more than we ever have done before,” said Maguire of the sales figures....

So,Demon’s Soulswas a surprise win for Atlus, being one of the few games published by that company to sell well in North America. The classic PS3 exclusive was one of 2009’s biggest surprises, and that fact has not escaped Sony’s eye. In fact, Sony’s Yeonkyung Kim took enough notice to regret his company passing up the chance to publish it. According to Kim,Demon’s Souls’unique gameplay and unmistakably Japanese flavor caused SCEA and SCEE to balk, believing the game would fail in the West....

Sometime next year, Sony will release a GPS device to go along with the PSP. While funny voices and accurate directions has yet to be confirmed, the one thing thatMTVMultiplayerfound out was that Sony is looking for a few good developers to incorporate the device into games. Sony’s Marketing Manager, John Koller, recently commented on the development of a game that utilizes the upcoming GPS functions. “There’s been a number of things that our first-party worldwide studios have looked at, and they’ve been trying to look at different options,” Koller stated before confirming that Sony will inevitably lead the charge for creating games with the GPS in mind....

Pocket Gamer hasa storyup about Sony’s recent financial reports and the news looks grim for their tiny, black portable. Here’s a quick quote to illustrate the mound of excrement piling up around the future of the PSP; In the three months ending December 31st – the critical period that included the run up to Christmas – Sony shipped a mere 1.76 million PSPs worldwide, compared to 6.22 million in the same period in 2005....

While the game will officially be revealed at WonderCon this week, GameSpot already has an early first-look at theSpider-Man: Shattered Dimensionstrailer (embedded after the jump). “Dimensions” is given its meaning, with gameplay that will apparently be split across multiple timelines. This means, of course, different Spider-Men. (Or would it be Spider-Mans?) Activision are revealing two to start, including “Noir,” who sticks to the shadows and uses stealth to take out baddies, and the more familiar “Ultimate” Spider-Man....
