Destructoid attended the Gazillion press conference the other day where they revealed new details on their next MMO,Marvel Universe. While we have no clue as to what the game looks like, we do know it’s taking on the free-to-play business model. Additionally, the MMO will let you play as actual Marvel characters as opposed to making up new heroes. While they wouldn’t go into specifics, we do know you’ll be able to play as Wolverine, Captain America, Spider-Man and Squirrel Girl....

Back in May,THQ told usthat a downloadable content pack forMetro 2033would be available “soon.” By “soon,” it meant August, apparently — the DLC in question, “The Ranger Pack,” is out tomorrow on Xbox LIVE Marketplace and Steam. The pack will add a new “Ranger Mode” to the game, which reduces the ammunition available to the player while increasing damage and the number of enemies encounter. Also, say goodbye to the HUD, as it’s stripped away for this more “realistic” mode....

Military advisor Hank Keirsey is a man I’m liking more and more every day. Not only did he come out in defense ofMedal of Honor, the man who is currently working with Treyarch onCall of Duty” Black Opshas come out to jokingly criticize “12-year-old bastards” on Xbox Live, with hilarious results. “When I played the originalCall of Duty, after being a soldier, I screwed up a couple things,” admits the military man....

How does an indie developer grab our attention? Well, throw around the names of games like Flower and Pikmin, of course. Developer Onteca is saying its upcoming WiiWare title, Monsteca Corral, will have the “ambient feel of games such asFlowerandPikminwith the excitement of Wii.” While that stuff doesn’t necessarily compute, it’s certainly a nice sentiment. Monsteca Corral has players controlling a herd of monsters called the Sdompes, who are too stupid to guide themselves through the migration process....

The fine folks over at GameTrailers have a great video preview ofBionic Commando Rearmed 2up and it lays out almost everything you wanted to know about the game. From jumping, to upgrades to new level styles it shows most of it off. If you’ve been dying to really see how the game is going to play then this video is for you. Now the real questions is if we should be excited about all these new gameplay features or really worried....

[New releases is your weekly look at all the hot new titles coming out this week.] It’s Thanksgiving week and that means next to nothing is coming to retail this week. In fact, the hot stuff is mostly digital titles. We brought you an early review ofBit.Trip Voidfor WiiWare and we thought it was a pretty good game. Other than that, Madden NFL Arcadelooks like it could be fun. What’s looking sw33t to all of you?...

Either there wasn’t a lot of fanfare for this latest batch of Game Room titles or I was completely oblivious to it. Either way, better late than never.Game Pack 004, which went live yesterday, includes the following:Asteroids,Demons to Diamonds,Grand Prix,Shark! Shark!,Space Duel,Stampede, andTime Pilot. Shark! Shark!is one of those rare titles I’ve always wanted to play but never knew what it was called. I’ll be checking that out for sure and praying that I can get everything I need out of the free demo without having to actually spend three dollars on the game....

As expected, people bought things during Black Friday. While we’d love to give you a comprehensive report on the number of GE blenders sold during the American free-for-all, it just wouldn’t fit with the rest of the content on our Web page. What does, though, is Aaron Greenberg’s broad announcement of Xbox 360 sales during the week of Black Friday (which, by the way, seems like something the platform publisher should be celebrating soon)....

It’s Monday morning. Aside from meaning that I need a lot more coffee, fat strippers, and protein to operate than on a normal day of the week, it means a whole new host of Nintendo digital downloads are available for purchase across the publisher’s various platforms. Get excited or something. This week we see the release ofBIT.TRIP.VOID, an important videogame as noted by its profuse punctuation and all capitalization, and the venerableSuper Mario Kart....

Hey, remember on Sunday whenI told youaboutMega Manhitting the Virtual Console this week? That was some pretty exciting news. Were you surprised to discover that you got (arguably) the worstSplatterhousegame and the Sega Master System version ofSonic the Hedgehoginstead? I thought not and you weren’t alone. Capcom wasn’t the only publisher to have made an announcement regarding VC releases for this week either. SNK told us to expectSamurai Showdown IIand Hudson hadY’s Book I & IIon deck....

Suda51 is one hell of an interesting dude I would think. At least his games are, and that means knowing more information about his games must be really interesting too, right? Right. The developer sat down and chatted withRevogamesrecently and let some details drop about what he’s doing now. First and foremost forNo More Heroesfans is thatNMH3is still being planned for whatever is coming after the Wii. Suda says that Nintendo’s next system is of great interest to him along with the 3DS, which he won’t talk too much about because he doesn’t want people stealing his ideas for the handheld....

Our sister site,Tomopop, is rocking New York Toy Fair 2010, snapping images and bringing us some of the sexiest looks at the latest collectibles. The range is diverse, from Jack Skeleton down to the Chesire Cat, and videogames are amongst what is being shown off to the fanatic public.
