These Legendary screens look an awful lot like a tentacle rave

Some new images of Gamecock/Spark Unlimited’sLegendaryhave been thrown our way and once again, they show the game’s diverse team of creatures ranging from werewolves to griffins to tentacle monsters that look like extras from a hentai flick. The achievements forLegendary, which are listed after the jump, are mostly your standard “beat this level, kill that thing”-type challenges, but I have to give credit for the unique titles these achievements sport (heh, “Barf Piñata”)....

THQ: ‘Girls have better things to do than videogames’

James Scalpello, THQ’s wireless director, has humorously stated that girls simply have more important things to do with their time than play games. Statistically, he ain’t wrong, but you’ve got to love the bluntness of it all. “When girls play console games, they have to have gone through a whole other list of things they could have done before sitting down with them,” stated James, before screaming at his wife to get dinner on the f*cking table....

The trailer was re-created by KeuleMedia using a variety of tools, includingGarry’s Mod. KeuleMedia details the laborious process of bringing the clip to life over atMad Made Movies, but it’s the end result that matters....

Ubisoft boss is skeptical about Beyond Good & Evil 2

We’ve seen a teaser trailer. Game creator Michael Ancel has explicitly talked about it. Nevertheless, Ubisoft’s complete ignorance ofBeyond Good & Evil 2is becoming an increasing concern, something that is abundantly more worrying with a recent show of skepticism in the game’s release by a high-ranking executive. “Sometimes you come back to an IP that didn’t work because you still think it could have,” states North American president Laurent Detocin an interview, “likeBeyond Good and Evil, which was leaked, so now people know we’re working on a new one....

UK Charts: Football football football

Another week, another dose of2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa. The soccer expansion is still riding high atop the charts, with Ubisoft’s criminally popularJust Dancewaiting in the wings at the second slot. The chart hasn’t seen much difference from last week. The usual games are still hanging around, and aside fromAliens vs. Predatorre-debuting at 15, you won’t find any surprises. Still, it’s always nice to know how wellWii Fit Plusis doing, right?...

Virtua Fighter 5 no longer a PS3 exclusive … oh the humanity

Exclusives are quickly disappearing at a fast and furious pace and the latest to flee this world is SEGA’sVirtua Fighter 5, which was slated to come out originally only for the PlayStation 3. Now, however, the game is going to come out late next summer for the Xbox 360. Certainly a huge fighting franchise, losing exclusivity of it is a big deal, or at least should be to Sony. SEGA sent this press release this morning:...

Want a Carbonite frozen Han Solo PSP case?

Frankly,this announcementmade me consider booking a plane ticket to San Francisco next week. Apparently if you are one of the first 200 people to arrive at the Playstation store at the Meteron next Tuesday and buy the newDarth Vader PSP bundle, you will also get one of these sweet Han Solo cases with the immortal Carbonite-frozen pose. I’d try to hide the Star Wars fangirl in me, but at the moment I just can’t....

War for Cybertron: Hot screenshots, hotter trailer

Transformers: War for Cybertronis launching surprisingly soon, and to mark the imminent arrival, evil publisher Activision has sent along a huge batch of assets, including screenshots and the online debut of the game’s E3 trailer. It’s suitably amazing — and yes, Soundwaveisproducing Energon cubes just like he did in the old cartoons! I got plenty of hands-on time with the game, and my impressions are coming later. You already got a full preview on thesingle-playerandmultiplayerfrom Dale North, but I can confirm right now that the game is loads of fun....

Watch some BioShock 2 deathmatch action

Want some straight up, no-bullsh*t,BioShock 2deathmatch footage? We’ve got you covered. This new video dresses nothing up, it simply gives you a minute ofBioShock 2multiplayer action. This is what it looks like, so feel free to hit that video and check it out. BioShock 2‘s multiplayer is looking fairly standard, but it’s helped by the simple fact that it’s set in Rapture. The decor and the look of the characters goes a long way toward making this look like more than a common garden deathmatch, even if the gameplay itself is not massively unique....

Welcome our new PAX 10 overlords

One of my personal highlights of last year’s PAX was the independent games showcase. Not only were the games good, they weren’t tucked away in some spiderweb-filled corner, which usually seems to be the case at other industry conventions. Anyway, this year’s line-up has been chosen. I’ve only heard of about half of these, so I imagine most of them will be unknown to you guys: Props to everyone selected!...
