Kids Who Don't Play Video Games Are At Risk Ok, so I know this is always a hot topic for all gamers and the community. Hence why I am posting about this. It's actually a good point in our court. It is a study that has been going on to show that not playing games can contribute to violent and negative behavior. I know right. Sounds a little out there, but these two researchers have spent years looking at the lesser headline grabber than the norm. Read More...

Yoda & Vader In Soul Caliber IV Man so far today it has been a slow news day on actual updates and stories. Mainly just things like this and my last Narticle posting. Just really a quick little blurb or Video of something new and cool. Well this one is of the new "special" characters that are going to be added into the new Soul Calibur game. It's actually the first footage of the game play of the two characters. Everything else has just been the 3D rendered stuff of them. Read More...

Quake Live Not too much of an article, but more of a quick blurb on the new Beta that people can get involved in. It's a web-based game that was announced back in February of this year. The release on it is below so you can check that out. Oh, almost forgot, the best part about this sign up, it only requires one email address to sign up and not the 2 User names and a pre-order like other betas I have talked about.

Metal Gear Monday Ok...so this is fucked up. First, I have to go out and search for a store that has the Metal Gear pre-order. An elusive thing, I just lucked out I have an awesome person on the inside at my local GameStop. She's awesome /much love. But in any instance, I get the hook up. Make my pre-order and get the DVD that has the activation key in it. So I'm a happy cat. Except for that it states that the key is invalid when I go to put it in. Read More...

Real MGS4 Headset So much like the guys at Kotaku and a few other sites, I saw this and thought it was a really good joke someone on the net came up with. I mean look at it and you can totally see how it looks like a good Photoshop job. At least until it was featured in catalogues and has a real release date for the US and Europe. Pretty fucking cool looking thing. I've been looking to get a new headset and it looks like I can get a cool one if I manage to wait it out. Read More...

Rocking DLC Release For This Week Ok, so not too big of news, but here's some more stuff for download this week for Rock Band. This is mainly for the XBox, until the PSN is back up on Thursday. Then you get these and also the ones listed here and here. Wish there was more to talk about, but not much more than the releases of this. Well other than the little blurb and bustle going around about the insane price of the European price of the game. I fell bad for the PR guys at Harmonix just for the fact that they have to defend why they are saying that it is needed to be ass expensive. Read More...

Resistance FOM 2 Teaser So if you haven't seen or heard about Resistance, one of the best Launch titles for the PS3, you need to get out more. Or at least surf the net more. It is really worth it if you have not given it a good old college go. I won't say it is the Halo of the PS3, but Resistance is a great game. And well, here's the teaser for the sequel to the game. It's not game play footage or anything, it is mainly just a "Hey Look At Me" kind of thing. Read More...

Interesting Poll Results So I was trolling along the interwebs today. After reading more about the a$$ clowns that beat the girl over MySpace sh*t. I'm thinking about the world and where we are headed. Then I see the above poll results from WhatThePlay.com, then I realized that we truly are into the downward spiral. Look at the stats and then continue down with me to the next paragraph. Ok, so on the offence meter, the violent one is near the bottom of the list. Read More...

Pokémon Trophy Telegram Yes, you are seeing what you are seeing above. It is a Pokémon trophies that you can send as a telegram. You know, for when you have to be a thunder stealer in the message sending area. Some may just prefer to send an e-mail or something in today's age, but wouldn't it be awesome to get one of those instead? Think about it. You know you would love it. Read More...

Wii Gets A New GameCube Controller Ok, I know my title was a little misleading, but it got you to look into the actual New bit. So Ha! It worked. :) The short and dirty of it is that Nintendo is releasing a GameCube Controller specifically for the Wii. It's not wireless or have motion controls. At least not from what I read. But it is the nice white color of the Wii and the controllers for it. Read More...

More Rock Band News So I got a few things for all you Rockers from the US to Europe. Seems like EA drops all the info at the same time, so this will have a few Newiscles (Yes I know that's not the name. :)) here. First EA announced the pricing that the have planned for the European version of the game. It kind of sucks too. First, on May 23rd the game will only be dropped on the XBox with now solid dates for the Playstation or Wii versions. Read More...

EA Games to Use Unreal 3 Engine If you haven't picked up Unreal Tournament, I would highly recommend it. It is a great game and it is an awesome engine to putter around with. Actually working on a full game mod with a armature development team. From what we've got so far, this engine is phenomenal. The image is not a rendered 3D film, but actual gameplay graphics. Now onto why I've been giving some good ass kissing to the engine and the actual topic of this Narticle. Read More...

Space Invaders Pillow 30 years now. That's just crazy to think about. But it looks like the game as finally made it to the ripe age of 30 years now. Man that makes me feel old. Especially since I remember playing the game as a kid and thinking it was the best thing ever. Now I just have the clouded fond memories. But on the plus side, there is a way that I can have those memories locked in a bit more firm...with a nice comfy pillow. Read More...

Water Cooled 360 So here is something completely random I came across while searching for fun stuff to inform you all about. A Water Cooled 360 mod. Yes, you saw and read right. It is a fully functional mod to water cool the system. The best part, the link below actually gives you the step by step to actually do the mod yourself at home. If you are interested, click it cause I'm not going to go into details about it here. Just a word to the wise though, I'm sure that it will violate the warranty for the system, so you run that risk.

Zelda on the Big Screen Wow, and I thought I had no life. But here's a fun fact about that April Fools Zelda Trailer; they spent almost a year for set up. Yes! You read that right. And what's more, here they go and show you the behind the scenes of it all. It's longer than the actual "Trailer" they made. I hope they are happy with the waste of money and time just to prank the game community, most of whom knew it was a fake from the first watching of it. Congrats. Read More...
