You wouldn’t think that a golf videogame would be a good platform to show off new gaming technology, but it turns out thatTiger Woods PGA Tour 10is a perfect showcase for Nintendo’s Wii MotionPlus — so much so that the device comes packed in the box. Nintendo’s Wii MotionPlus tech was announced and explained at E3 2008, but it wasn’t until the release ofTiger Woods PGA Tour 10for the Wii this year that I fully appreciated the upgrade to the Wii Remote’s motion-sensing ability....

After sorting through nearly 200 applications and moreInceptionreviews than any one person should ever read, Tom and I have narrowed our list down for the second round of the hiring process for Modern Method’s new movie site. We got a lot of amazing applications and really want to thank everyone for applying, but if you didn’t receive an email from us this morning then I’m sorry to say that we didn’t select you for the next step....

TheOfficial PlayStation Magazinehas dropped ahuge rumorbombon the astonished heads of PS3 fans, namingKillzone 3as one of its “secret games of 2010.” According to the magazine, a sequel to Guerrilla’s excellent first-person-shooter is already “deep in development,” and should be ready for next year. The magazine also alleges thatResistance 3is on the cards in 2010, and that Treyarch has recently mentioned development of aCall of Duty: World at Warsequel, continuing Treyarch’s commitment to copying everything Infinity Ward ever does, ever....

Even though EA Sports has remained mum about its mysterious IP set to be revealed this month, inside sources have been talking. Last month, our source said the new game is being called “NFL Trainer,” a Wii exclusive that teaches how to throw a football. But ESPN’s source is saying something much different: they’re being led to believe anNBA Jamresurrection is happening. According to ESPN’s sources, thisNBA Jamtitle will be a Wii-exclusive retail game built by some of the hands that forged the original Midway series — specifically, series creator Mark Turmell, who has allegedly been working on the game in Vancouver....

Superannuation, some of the best internet Matlocks around, have discovered something very interesting. It’s a job listing for the team at EA that makesBoom Blox. It’s pretty straight forward for the most part. They need some new devs to help them work on their new game. They’re a tight knit group that they describe as “What if EA had an internal start up? The BAFTA-winning Boom Blox team is an agile, closely-knit group which answers questions by prototyping before building design documents....

If this keeps up any longer, I’m going to lose all credibility because of all the Wii rumors I’ve been posting lately. While Idotry and pick out the more juicy and probable ones, in the end they’re still rumors, and pretty soon, you guys are going to start comparing me to one of those blonde, giggly gossip-mongers from your highschool days. That said, this is something I’ve been wanting to post for the last day or two, but managed to resist the temptation … until now....

Recently,we brought wordthat Xbox titlesConker Live & ReloadedandJade Empiremay be making their way to Xbox LIVE Marketplace in the form of Xbox Originals. This was based on assets for the games “mysteriously” appearing on a public Microsoft press FTP; we put two and two together, and came up with 17. (Yes, I know I’m not good at math … thanks to everyone who pointed this out.) It seems we might have made an “ass” out of “u” and “me,” as the truth isn’t quite as exciting as you’d hope....

Capcom has shipped two million copies ofStreet Fighter IVto the US. While the game isn’tsold outin stores, the demand is quite impressive considering theseries’ eleven-year hiatus. What makesStreet Fighter IVso popular, you ask? Ken. Around 1.9 millionSFIVowners actively use Ken in online competition. Last night I asked a prolific Ken user, xxMUFFINRIDAXX, why the red devil is so attractive. Instead of bothering to give me a direct answer — and who has the time when you’re spamming the dragon punch — he simply said, “You’re a noob....

I’m sure most of you are still pretty baffled at the fact that a sequel to the original50 Centgame is actually on the way. Hey, I still couldn’t believe until I finally got to see the game playing in front of my own eyes. The thing aboutBlood on the Sandis that you need to get just see this game for what it really is: A fun, arcade style, action game. Take off the serious goggles for a second and you may see something you like here....

At a Ubisoft event in New York City yesterday, the excitable and amazingHip Hop Gamerhas confirmed that a demo forSplinter Cell: Convictionwill be available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace this January. “Just January for now,” he was told when pushed for a specific date. Still, the vague “January” is better than nothing. January is only 31 days long, and the game ships on February 23. The wait, it seems, is finally almost over....

I may be in the minority here, but I’m really looking forward toSpyborgs. Not so sure why asour impressionsof the game aren’t too impressive, but something about the game speaks to me. Maybe I’m just looking forward to some mindless beating of mindless enemies whose only method of attack is to run at you and take swings. If you’re in the mood for the same thing then these two gameplay videos for the game should cheer you up....

One of the few criticisms people had ofPortal 2‘s E3 demo was that Wheatley, the English-accented Personality Sphere, sounded pretty damn dreadful. Well, Valve is a company that listens, and has revealed thatOfficeco-writer and podcast legend Stephen Merchant will be taking over the role! This is pretty fabulous news. I’m a big fan of Stephen Merchant as is anybody who likes funny men who are really tall. His voice and comedic timing will be a perfect fit forPortal 2, methinks, so this is a very, very good thing....
