Pac-Man meets Saw in this fan-made trailer

There’s a very good chance that this isn’t the first fan-made trailer for a fictitiousPac-Manmovie you’ve ever seen. I would wager that it will not be the last either. But it may be one of the best. The concept for the film is fairly clever, I’ll say. While the pill-popping aspects ofPac-Manare something I’ve long pondered, the idea of Pac being an uncaring executive at a pharmaceutical company never crossed my mind....

Preview: Two Worlds II (it’s actually fun!)

There are children yet unborn who weep within the bellies of their mothers, knowing they are to be thrust into the same world that gave usTwo Worlds. The original RPG from Topware Interactive is so atrocious, so unutterablydiabolicalthat it is believed God will send down his only begotten son once more to be crucified, just as penance for this one game’s creation. In other words,Two Worldsf*cking sucked. You won’t believe me when I tell you this… butTwo Worlds IIis actually playable....

Prince of Persia Warrior Within HD on PSN today

The PlayStation Blog has updated announcing that the secondPrince of PersiaHD release,Warrior Within, has been made available on the PlayStation Store. Like it’s predecessor,Sands of Time, it has shiny, high-definition visuals and can be played in stereoscopic 3D. They have done nothing to alter Godsmack being on the soundtrack, however. Speaking of sound, actually, that’s something that I really hope is better with this release.Sands of Time HDsounded like you were in an echo chamber most of the time and it was a real turn-off....

Professor trolls City of Heroes in the name of science

Usually, people who troll online games are fourteen-year-old, curly haired little douchebags with no aim in life other than to make people miserable. At least Loyola University media professor David Myers has an excuse — he was trollingCity of Heroesand becoming one of the most unpopular players in the world,all in the nameof social studies. When Myers first playedCity of Heroes/Villains, he noticed that the heroes and villains were not strictly playing by the rules, instead peacefully co-existing with each other and often taking out computer-controlled opponents instead of opposing factions....

PSPgo ‘will fail miserably’

You know what Sony’s PSPgo hasn’t had lately? Some bad press! Things have beenfar too positivesurrounding the latest PlayStation Portable, so let’s darken the general tone of the news, shall we? If you couldn’t have guessed, that was a sarcastic lead-in to yet another retailerdumping all overthe newest addition to the PlayStation family. This one believes the PSPgo is destined to fail, and fail horribly. “My own personal opinion is that it’s a no-go....

Review: Rune Factory: Frontier

There are certain games that barely need to be reviewed. A simple “If you like this sort of thing, you’ll like this game” is all anyone really needs to know. I’m talking about games likeHalo 3,Rock Band 2,Mega Man 9; games that fans of their genres will absolutely love, but non-fans just won’t. Rune Factory: Frontierisalmostthat kind of game. If you like the time/resource management, farming, and dating stuff that has made theHarvest Moongames so successful over the years, you’ll really like this game....

Rock Band DLC update: The Dead Weather, Judas Priest

The Dead Weather is one of those “super groups.” Not like the Avengers, and not even likeSavage AnimalDamnocracy that VH1 forced upon Sebastian Bach and that one guy from Biohazard who has sex with Tera Patrick now. No, this is an actual super group which features hater-of-music-games Jack White, Alison Mosshart (The Kills), Dean Fertita (Queens of the Stone Age), and Jack Lawrence (The Raconteurs). That group right there is totally super, and now their music will be available to play inRock Band(Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3) next week....
