X-Men Origins: Wolverine Game Trailer Just in time for the motion picture release we will see the game based on the new Marvel film. But little has been seen on this new game, pretty much about the same as the film short of trailers and such. But it would seem that is coming to an end to get gamers and those who love movie adaptations of games all pumped and rearing to drop a few dollars on Wolverine. Should it be a big surprise? Well the surprise here is that it looks really nice. Read More...

Screens From Xbox's Ninja Blade Who doesn't like Ninjas? Besides maybe Pirates, or Robots, or Zombies. Okay, well there is a small list there that might not like them.

In any instance, the below images do a great job of showing off the style and look of the new game due out in a about a month or so. Read More...

Gaming news and events here in the City of Cincinnati happen about as often as the city’s professional sports teams have a winning season.  So, when I saw we reported that the Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars van tour was making a stop on the north side of the city, I knew I wanted to put my hands on the game and create a nice article to post here on Pwned.com. You may remember last year’s E3, during Nintendo’s press conference, watching Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing Cammie Dunaway using the Wii Balance Board to “snowboard” in a business suit with Shaun White nearby looking like a tool.

After a big week last week releasing four games, Nintendo gears back down to its normal conservative self.  This week in Wii DLC we have a game for everyone and a game for one.  For everyone in your household we have Gammick Entertainment's Family&Friends Party.  After searching their site extensively and finding no trace of the game, I had to rely on on Nintendo's exciting trailer.  You may not have family or friends to play with when they find out you spent 1,000 Wii Points on this game.On the flip side of the coin, on Virtual Console, is another Square Enix RPG from the Super NES days: Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen.

A Cool Look At What Halo Wars Brings To The Story With Halo Wars releasing today, yes slackers it came out today, the minds behind the game and over all story decided to bring everyone a cool little look at the game from the story side of things. YES GAMES HAVE STORY! Mixed in are few other people who just have strong opinions on the Halo franchise, but for the most part they have a fun, good ol' time with this video discussing things that all Halo fanatics, on the story side, want to know. I was at the Comic Con panel for this and yes there are those people out there. One thing that I find pretty cool for the over all story was the fact that they bring out in the game how the Spartans where not originally suppose to be "space marines. Read More...

NOTE: I am not a huge Halo player. I've played and beaten Halo: Combat Evolved, but I have not beaten Halo 2 or Halo 3 (even though I do own both, I have never played either extensively). So please be gentle if I have no idea what a bunch of stuff in Halo is.... mainly because I don't have any idea.... Also I did NOT get the mythic map pack with my review copy so please don't ask me how the mythic map pack was.Many of you are probably excited to play Ensemble Studios final game, Halo Wars.

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.

More Screen Shots From God of War III With the big media event that happened recently for God of War III and the new extended trailer being launched, it would seem that Sony is ready to start the huge marketing scheme for this game. Which I will not complain about at all. Except that we will all have to wait until after this year's E3 show to get a up close and personal look at this game. They are going to be showing it off in all of it's glory there. But until then, we can all ogle Kratos and the game with the little things like the below screen shots. Read More...
