Hellgate Resurected, Maybe For Good
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 18th of January 2010 - 09:51 PM ]
So, raise your hand if you were upset when Hellgate: London was shut down. Look at all those virtual hands out there that seemed so depressed that I brought this up again. But turn those sad hands and faces upside down, it looks like you will most likely be getting this wonderful game and it's servers back up and running in the not to distant future. Like sometime this year distant future. With a new upgraded version and more player to go along with that as well. Read More...

Resident Evil 5 Gone Gold Again
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 18th of January 2010 - 03:53 PM ]
Here we go again... again. This is where the year of "Capcom forgetting how to count again" starts. At least this time when it starts it has a nice new video showcasing some of the stuff that will make us shell out more cash for games we already own. Like say, Sheva in a little red ridding hood costume and Chris looking like something from a Mad Max film. Not to mention all the extra story that justifies RE5 going into another gold phase only a year after the first version came out. From this video, I can actually see the worth in getting the DLC when it becomes available, but not a full new version of the disc. Read More...

CES 2010: Aggrogamer with GestureTek
by Brian Bentley [ Sunday, 17th of January 2010 - 06:46 PM ]
With immersion in video games a hot topic at the Consumer Electronics Show this year, we took time out to visit with Vincent John Vincent, Co-Founder and President of GestureTek. GestureTek has been refining and defining camera-based motion capture and control software for two decades.  During our brief time with Vincent we heard about their new software development kit (SDK), which makes creating immersive webcam games a breeze.  I also was able to go “hands-off” with their demo and see this technology up close.Expecting a huge setup, I was surprised to find Vincent simply pulling out a laptop with an embedded webcam.

Aggrocast Episode Fifty Six: CES Wrap-Up
by Brian Bentley [ Monday, 11th of January 2010 - 09:12 PM ]
Brian, Binh & David are back to wrap up the Consumer Electronic Show for 2010.  In an odd turn of events they start with Day 4 and what Binh caught as the show closed (Wii sniper rifle); then they moved onto Day 2 including a recreation of events that you would normally see here, a visit with Capcom and a "celebrity" sighting.  Things finish up with the guys talking Saturday's Day 3.  With no appointments to meet, it was time to get to all the spots they missed previously.

Dark Void Demo Impressions
by Kevin [ Thursday, 7th of January 2010 - 01:24 PM ]
The sci-fi action-adventure Dark Void demo has dropped today for the Xbox 360 and will be following on the PSN tomorrow. With the demo you get the chance to take that jetpack for a spin, and engage in some aerial and on-foot combat. It is supposed to serve to wet the appetite for the games' January 19th release date. With some unique gameplay elements like vertical cover, I've been looking forward to taking this title for a test drive.The press release speaks with some glowing words of course, "With the launch of Capcom’s sci-fi shooter, Dark Void, right around the corner, Capcom is giving gamers a chance to test drive the void for themselves this week with a downloadable demo coming to Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Network.

EA shutting down multiple online servers
by Corey Dockendorf [ Wednesday, 6th of January 2010 - 02:34 PM ]
Below is a list of games that will no longer have multiplayer support as of February this year.  EA says you can play these titles up until the actual shutdown date.  Community programs could shut down earlier, depending on circumstances.  A little surprise for you football buffs, Madden 09 is on this list for a February 9th shut down date.  What does that mean, that means you're gonna have to shell out some cash for Madden 10 if you want to get online and get your fix.Be sure to note which platforms are being shut down, not all titles are being shut down on all platforms, so make sure you take a good look as to which platforms will no longer be available.

Steam Achievements Added to Torchlight
by Brian Bentley [ Wednesday, 23rd of December 2009 - 04:35 PM ]
We, as humans, are a competitive, goal-oriented species.  The category of humans known as gamers are characteristically more so.  So when little goals outside of the main game play were created on platforms this console generation (Achievements on Xbox 360 and Steam, trophies on the PS3), gamers took to them with a ferocity only matched by the public's outrage to the release of Coke 2.  The obsession with achievements has grown to the point that people will go out of their way to grind away for hours, simply to have the tiny extrinsic award.  As a bit of an afterthought and most likely a reward to the fans, last week Runic Games released over 60 achievements that may be earned on Steam for their critically acclaimed action-RPG Torchlight.

Review: Assassin's Creed 2
by Ben Brody [ Saturday, 21st of November 2009 - 11:07 PM ]
Assassin's Creed had very few pitfalls: a repetitive story mode, inability to swim, and repetitive animations. AC2 fixes all these issues, and more. When Ubisoft came out with AC, it was the only gun-free, action oriented, free roam game, and up until AC2, it stayed that way. It was a risky move on their part in a predominately FPS dominated world. It paid off and did more than justify a sequel. In a world of gun oriented, short single player mode, multiplayer based games, AC2 isn't, and it is just as awesome as any other game out there. Read More...

Starcraft 2 Website Has A Media Explosion
by Corey Dockendorf [ Friday, 20th of November 2009 - 04:49 PM ]
Starcraft II's website just had a content explosion all over the screen. The website has new screenshots, some from the game and others from the cinematic, and they look phenomenal. I think that if these detailed shots of in-game cinematic are any indication, this game is going to take Starcraft players to a whole new, long awaited, adventure.    The features page is where all the fun is though. They have new videos highlighting the single player and multiplayer scenarios. Read More...

Kane & Lynch, Bowling In Shanghai, And Naked
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 18th of November 2009 - 08:55 PM ]
Finally some of the rumors about this game can be put to rest. Mainly the one if it was even going to be made. Let alone the entirely nude level. The one rumored where our two pals run around completely in their birthday suits. Yea, that's right. Nekkidness. All of that aside, how did Square Enix and IO Interactive clear up these rumors? Well by straight out announcing the game for a 2010 release window through two video, seen below. The naked level being quasi-confirmed via the videos as well. Read More...

Peggle's Reign Expands To PSN
by Brian Bentley [ Wednesday, 18th of November 2009 - 12:11 AM ]
Today Popcap announced that Peggle and Peggle Nights will be releasing its addiction-y goodness on the PlayStation Network. They also announced that in tune with this release, Peggle Nights will also find itself on the XBox LIVE Arcade. Peggle on the PSN will be priced similarly to the original Peggle's release on XBLA ($10), while Peggle Nights will be priced at $5 (400 Microsoft points). Peggle is one of those games that seemingly anyone can get into. Yes, I'm sure there are three to four people that don't enjoy it, but where the game succeeds is its innate ability to keep everything simple and to do that simple well. Read More...
