The Jams Are Def
Def Jam Rapstar is gearing up to drop this October. As the newest title in the RockStarBandHero genre to hit the market, despite the karaoke-style stigma, it looks surprisingly fun. I fully expect to be listening to my friends butcher some of THE DOPEST RHYMES in hip hop history come October 5th when it hits US shelves. Produced by up and coming 4mm Games and published under the Konami...

Now You Can Bang and Kill Hookers on Your iPad!
Rockstar Studios, that one company that makes those games where you steal cars and do missions for mobsters and seedy criminals (I don’t blame you if you haven’t heard of them; they’re not that popular), announced today that they’ll be porting one of their games to the iPad. I’m talking, of course, about GTA: Chinatown Wars. Not only is this game being ported over to Apple’s wannabe...

Monday Night Combat: Bacon Makes Everything...
The other day, Rich said something to me that really bothered me. He said that Monday Night Combat was “Just OK” and that it had “some issues to work out”. When pressed further, I was hit with a response that makes me believe he thought he was playing a different game.
The first point to touch on is that this is NOT a standard shooter. Monday Night Combat is a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena...

Fatalities in High Definition! – The Mortal Kombat...
Remaking old video games with updated, super crisp, stellar looking graphics has been an ongoing trend for a while now. Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix (SSF2THR) showed us all how cool a high def remake of a classic fighting game could be. But some of us yearned for a little more. Some of us wanted to see what someone’s head and spinal cord being ripped out looked like in 1080p on a...

Play Inferno or I Will Fight You!
If Geometry Wars and Gauntlet had a baby, it would be Inferno. You might think to yourself, “Self, why didn’t I think of this?” and the answer is simple: Because it’s simply not worth it. It’s got a very cyberpunk feel to it (like Geometry Wars) and has keys and stages (like Gauntlet). Sure, the game’s only a dollar. Sure, I could see how someone could get addicted to it for the two...

Pick Up Pokémon Rangers: Guardian Signs and Be a...
I’m not sure how these games keep getting made, to be honest. But apparently they’re popular, because the Pokémon Ranger series will be releasing their third installment this fall, called Guardian Signs, for the Nintendo DS. As I describe to you, the reader, the details of this upcoming game, I’m going to attempt to use the word “Pokémon” and its derivatives as much as I possibly can. ...

We Goin’ Platinum!
So there’s this dude passing out free “Platinum Service” Xbox Live cards!!! That’s right, you just bought those shiny, all-new Xbox 360 Slims to show off in the drive way and wash next to your car as your neighbor goes to work, but then you hear about the Platinum Possibility. What does Platinum offer that Gold doesn’t? Will this affect your Gold Service? Well there is good news and bad...

Portal 2 Takes The Cake
Valve is wrapping up Portal 2 and leaving more than scraps on the cutting room floor. The footage from E3 showed the return of GLaDOS and the rebuilding process of the Aperture Science testing facility. What we know for sure is that the campaign will be much longer, you will have a helpful companion to talk to, and the cake is still a lie. Valve writers Erik Wolpaw and Chet...

A Negative Look at Spider-Man: Shattered...
Another Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions alternate costume vignette debuted this week and it’s really driving home how far Activision will stretch this franchise for pre-order fodder. In addition to the four distinct comic worlds you get to explore as their respective Spider-Man identities, there are four pre-order costumes (along with their alternate dimension counterparts) that allow you...

Angry Birds Speading It’s Wings
The number 1 downloaded app from the iTunes store is spreading its wings, quite literally. Soon PSP, Palm Pre, and Android users will get the chance to see what iPhone and iPod Touch owners have known for months. After selling 6.5 million copies on the iTunes store at the low, low price of $1, it is now available for the Palm Pre and is expected to hit the Android Marketplace within the...

New details have emerged on the DLC that will be available on September 21st of this year for Rockstar’s widely popular Old Western-style sandbox title called Red Dead Redemption (I’m going to assume you’ve heard of it). And lucky you, I’m here to tell you about it!

Golgocast S02E01!!! – Gootecks/Ross vs....
We’re back kiddos! As a lengthy post-E3-mortem, team Golgo took a well deserved break to regroup, change the guard, update the site, and get back into it! Now, we never intended for the break to be as long as it was, but things have been crazy… (Ir)Regardless, we got together this past Thursday to chat it up with our new friends Ryan “Gootecks” Gutierrez and Mike Ross about all things...

Tekken x Street Fighter Tease
Gamescom 2010 brought us our first look at Tekken x Street Fighter. Harada qualified these images by reminding fans that they are very rough and very early but a good example of the quality and effort the Tekken team will be applying to Capcom’s beloved fighters.
I’m sure more work will go into each Street Fighter favorite appearing in TxSF, but for a first draft I think it looks a...

Do Loyalty Reward Programs Work?
I’ve always been a fan of gamer loyalty programs. Being that I’ve always collected games, programs like Club Nintendo, Capcom Fighter’s Edge, and Sega Sonic Club, have always excited me the way I imagine kids used to get sending in boxtops for decoder rings. You know the drill; you send in an insert, register a serial number, or in Capcom’s case, cut up your fucking manual, and in turn...

Kinectimals, A fact sheet!
Okay, when I see a press release marked “KINECTIMALS: A FACT SHEET!” (yes all in caps, apparently a common theme in PR) my mind can’t help but immediately wander to the prospect of rewriting whatever has been sent and filling it with jokes about the Holocaust. With that being said I opened up this email, fully prepared to launch into what I believed to be sheer comedic gold. What I didn’t...

WatchWelcome to Mario Kart Gran Turismo 5
I am going to go ahead and assume that the much anticipated cart racing is the reason that Gran Turismo has been delayed year after year. I mean, it is clearly the most requested feature from all the GT fans. Most people don’t take the genre seriously because it has been greatly misrepresented by these silly games with turtle shells and extremely long...

Guess What Gun Loco Is About!

Gun Loco is Square-Enix’s new third-person run and gun shooter, offering a single player campaign and up to 12 players in multiplayer competitive action. The title features original character design by toy designer Kenny Wong of kennyswork and brothersfree...

EA is Making a Mistake with Mass Effect on PS3
So it was announced this week that Mass Effect 2 will finally be coming to the PS3 in January 2011. EA also clarified that they have no plans to bring the original Mass Effect to the PS3. It is great that PS3 owners will finally get to play Mass Effect, but EA is making a huge mistake by not releasing the first title in the series.
EA has the opportunity to deliver the entire Mass Effect...

GH: WOR Set List – 90 vs. 1500? Nice Work,...
So, I awoke this morning, as I sometimes do, to find my email bursting with all the shiny new GamesCon press releases… Yay. Amidst the near-endless sea of “F2P” Korean MMO announcements, my still-sleep-encrusted eye did spy something a bit different. Not interesting mind you, but simply different (FYI I associate different with emails that are COMPLETELY IN FUCKING CAPS). It twas a...

Tit for Tat
In a direct response to the immediate popularity of the Darkstalkers petition, Katsuhiro Harada, Namco Bandai’s producer of fighting games, is looking for signatures to gauge the demand for a new Soul Calibur game. Harada was contacted directly on Twitter by 8WayRun.com stating that the community was dying to hear the future of the Soul Calibur series. His responded, “Bring them at my...
