First DCU Mission Explained We all know that MMOs need to have good missions to keep players coming back and interested in the game. Without them, what is the point of even playing. Outside Socializing and building characters and grinding out levels and being part of the in crowd. Well there really isn't a reason outside of those and the designers really understand this well over there at Sony Online Entertainment and DC. They realize it very well as the below video displays. This video shows how each side of the game, Hero or Villain, will take on one of the more iconic storylines of the DC world. Read More...

Hinted at last week in their press release, Nintendo released three Commodore 64 games on the Virtual Console this past Monday.  While this is not necessarily news to our friends across the pond, this is a first for those of us in North America.  The 500 Wii Points per game seems a little steep to me, but it's Nintendo and heaven forbid they sell something for less then 500 Wii Points because who knows, perhaps people will begin expecting to purchase a game only paying what it is worth.  I have a lot of fond memories over at my friend, Jason's house playing Commodore 64, but unless they release Summer Games or Winter Games, that price point is too high for me.Besides the Virtual Console releases, Wii Ware also had one release.

DC Universe Character Trailer So far most of the buzz on Sony's DC Universe has been the named characters from DC comics that a player will be able to interact with or run along side. Outside of that and a few scene drops, nothing substantial has been seen since Comic Con 2008 where there was a playable demo there. Well a bit of wait is now over. Today the good people over at Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) have decided to grace the interwebs with a bit more on the types of characters you can play in the game. Read More...

Dante's Inferno Trailer I remember back when I had to read this book (Divine Comedy) for school and write a paper on the travels of Dante through the levels of Hell. What I don't remember was it looking this cool in my head when I was reading it. If it did, I probably would have continued to be an English major or something. Most likely not. But for those of you who are like me or are being forced to go through the same things I did so many years ago, here are some great visuals for you to take in and use when reading the book.

Lost Planet 2 Announced Yes, in my opinion it was a sneak attack by Resident Evil 5 producer Jun Takeuchi. Don't believe me, then check out the small blurb sent out from Capcom in their most recent press release about Street Fighter IV selling 2 million + copies. That and it was kind of on the sly released onto XBox Live. Secondly, a hot tip: fire up your Xbox to get a sneak preview of a brand new Capcom title. In an industry-first, we've announced a new game through the Xbox LIVE service, complete with an introductory video from the producer and director. Read More...

Epic Resident Evil 5 Footage I know you all must be getting tired of the Resident Evil 5 coverage, but how can I stop when they keep pumping out awesome media assets like the video below. I'm sure that once the game comes out and the reviews are written you will all get some reprieve from the bombardment of information from the game. But until then, you will have to deal with it. I jest of course. Read More...

            When I first saw the early gameplay footage of Street Fighter IV I was ready to start flipping in the air and do moonsault kicks in celebration, but then I remembered I couldn’t. I’m probably not the only one in saying that The World Warrior is my favorite installment of the Street Fighter franchise and seeing Street Fighter IV in action made me so excited because in many ways, it was like seeing a modern version of one of the greatest classic fighting games of all time. Still the question stood, could Capcom create a sequel that kept everything that makes a good Street Fighter game while still adding enough to the mix that would attract new fans? Thankfully they did almost exactly that in giving us a great new chapter in the Street Fighter saga. Read More...

Resident Evil Retrospect: Episode 3 It's that time again, to lead up to the release of Resident Evil 5 with more story and world background. Just to add to the first two that have come out. But on top of that, Capcom has also graced us with some extra images from the game show casing some of the villains and enemies. Some of which look really cool. Like say the "zombie" who's head is split open or the giant. Read More...

Yesterday, Valve began the unveiling process on their new Team Fortress 2 update adding new achievement weapons.  This time to the Scout class.  Quick and wiry, the scout is listed as an offensive class, but as anyone who has put time in the trenches will tell you, the scout can also be a formidable defense class.  With the new site in place, Valve plans to release a bit of new information each day.  For day 1, they released information on the new weapon to replace the bat, called The Sandman.

BlizzCon® 2009 Announced You remember the craziness of BlizzCon last year? The tickets going on sale and being sold out in minutes.

Blizzard just announced the dates for the next BlizzCon that will be taking place in Anaheim. The 21st and 22nd of August.

What's scarier than a little 7 year old girl just absolutely tearing people apart? Nothing, that's what. FEAR 2, the true sequel to FEAR, comes to us from Monolith and is hands down one of the scariest games ever.
