Latest RAGE trailer makes the most of drones

Hot damn if that doesn’t look sweet. This new trailer forRAGEshows segments of a mission to disrupt the bomb making capabilities of a group called “The Shrouded.” There’s a brief bit of rather exciting vehicle gameplay shown before going in to the enemy lair, guns a-blazing. It’s when the toys start coming out two minutes into the video that I get giddy. Watch how the Sentry Bot navigates over terrain in the most direct path towards an enemy, even killing one guy by hopping on to him from the box the poor bloke was using for cover....

Man confesses to sexing picnic table, God of War videogame is clearly to blame

Some people enjoy sitting on the porch and discussing the antics of neighborhood hooligans, trading what will they think of nexts while they ogle passerby for the next potential source of gossip. The Porch Patrol may think they have every topic covered, but even if so they surely at least feigned shock and fanned themselves over the news of one Mr. Arthur Price, who was recently convicted for making sweet love to his picnic table on his backyard deck in full view of the neighbors....

Marks and Spencer to the Xbox 360: Do not want!

To be honest, Marks & Spencer is known more for giving upper class wannabes a place to shop than providing gaming hardware, but itsrecent decisionto decline sale of the Xbox 360 can be nothing but a damaging blow to Microsoft’s already shaky PR in the games world. After offering a free 2 year warranty on all its electrical goods, Marks n’ Sparks has perhaps wisely chosen not to sell the notoriously unreliable 360, not willing to put faith in a machine with such infamous faults....

Medal of Honor ‘not necessarily pushing the genre forward’

You’d think that EA would be doing its best to separateMedal of Honorfrom the pack in a very crowded first-person shooter market. The team at EA Los Angeles is, indeed, working to make the game stand out, but the experience is not likely to be the most innovative shooter you’ve ever played. Executive producer Greg Goodrich explained that the intent is to build a highly polished game: What we’re focusing on is making a great first-person shooter....

MLB 2K9 ‘Lefty’ skit seems so familiar, but I can’t put my finger on why …

… oh yeah, it’s because 2K Sports iscompletelyripping offESPN’s “This isSportsCenter” commercials(specifically,this one— sorry for the awful video quality, but there’s no better version available).Still, I got a chuckle or two out of the above video, which features San Francisco Giants phenom (andMLB 2K9coverboy) Tim Lincecum getting pulled for a reliever. Apparently, this brief scene is the first in what will be a series of three skits promoting the game. I wonder if they’ll continue to copy ESPN, or if they’ll move on to someone else....

You know how it works! With the help of each other, attempt to figure out all of the disguised game covers. They all share a common theme that, once solved, can help you figure out the harder ones. This week’s theme is far from obvious, and the majority of the teasers are hopefully some of the hardest ones to solve in several weeks. Will this be the time that I finally fool you all?...

You know how it works! With the help of each other, try to figure out all of the disguised game covers. They all share a common theme that, once solved, can help you figure out the harder ones. This week’s theme is one I’ve used at least once in the past, probably several times. To make up for reusing an old theme, some of the covers I used are from games that aren’t even out yet, so beware!...
