3DS Pricing and Launch Date Announced....September 29th
Are you super pumped for the 3DS? Are you ready for Nintendo to tell you the release date and the pricing for the newest handheld from Nintendo? Well, instead of just announcing the release date and price, Nintendo is making it a huge event to let you know. This event is going to happen September 29th. So yes, instead of just telling you the release date, Nintendo is getting you hyped up, to announce the release date. Sigh!

Make sure you are at a computer on September 29th. We'll let you know the release date of the 3DS, if we can pull ourselves away from FIFA '11, which comes out the day before.

In Halo: Reach, Things Will Be Shot

Posted by brandon on 29 Jul 2010 in Xbox News
Bungie has released a new trailer for Halo: Reach. This is called "The Battle Begins," which focuses on the single player aspect of the game. The trailer is pretty awesome, with some great orchestral music from Mary O'Donnell.

Graphics wise, the game is shaping up really well. It is by far the best looking Halo game. Cherish this game forever folks. It will be Bungie's last Halo effort.

Hydro Thunder Hurricane Review

Hydro Thunder Hurricane Review
Back in the days of arcades and sweaty men pumping quarters into machines, there was a speedboat racing game called Hydro Thunder that was popular amongst gamers. A few years after it was a hit in the arcade, Hydro Thunder came to the N64, where it was a hit, again. On Wednesday, a "pseudo-sequel" will be released on Xbox Live Arcade. Does Hydro Thunder Hurricane keep the same spirit as the previous games, or should it be with Davy Jones' locker? Hit the jump to find out.

Next Hitman in 2011?

Next Hitman in 2011?
Rumor on the internet is that we will see another Hitman game next holiday. Sources say that is the earliest the game will be released. I'm kind of bummed out, since I love Hitman, and can't wait to play some more of it.

For those who caught the concept art that was posted online the other day, you should know that those were not tied to any Hitman game. They were part of an artist's portfolio. So don't get all worked up thinking IO would combine Hitman and God of War. The above image is one of the said concept pieces.

Could Inception Work as a Video Game?

Could Inception Work as a Video Game?
Inception has taken America by storm. Everyone is talking about the sheer brilliance of the film. While there are some negative views on the movie, most people agree it is a very good flick, featuring a well structured story, awesome special effects, and some mind bending elements. As I watched the movie (twice), I couldn't help but think that Inception could make a really good video game. Hit the jump for my take on how Inception could be made into a video game.

Baxy-Z Impressions: Medal of Honor Beta

Baxy-Z Impressions: Medal of Honor Beta
The Medal of Honor beta has been going on for a few weeks, and Calum and myself have been playing it for sometime. I have it for the PC, and Calum has it on the PS3. We decided to sit down and discuss our thoughts on the game.

Brandon:Medal of Honor has gone modern, and EA has released a multiplayer beta for a few weeks to let gamers get their hands on the game. Personally, I'm torn on the game. While it is fun, I feel like the game suffers from identity crisis. At some points it feels like Modern Warfare 2, and at some points feels like Battlefield: Bad Company 2. What are your thoughts Calum?

3DS' Shape Is Final

Posted by calum on 13 Jul 2010 in Nintendo News
3DS' Shape Is Final
Whilst we saw a prototype of the 3DS last month, it appears as though that design was pretty much the final version of the console (until the 'Lite' version anyway).

In a recent interview with Wired, Hideki Konno said that the shape of the console is the final version.

Wired.com: In 2004, when the first DS was first shown at E3, we saw an exterior form factor that wasn’t final. Will the look of the 3DS be changed before its release?

Konno: You can take this as the final shape.

What do you think? Do you think the design is a good one?
