There's no doubt that Grand Theft Auto IV is an awesome game. But unfortunately when you leave the house, there's just no good way to take the fun with you.

There are likely plenty of people out there asking why they should bother picking up Rock Band 2 since they already own the first one.

Microsoft to add Mii-like Avatars to Xbox Live

, Jul 15th 2008 Discuss [0]

I'm starting to think that I'm the only gamer in the world that just doesn't give a damn about having a cartoony representation of myself to screw with. I spent about 15 minutes making my Mii and haven't touched it since, nor have I really cared to look at it any more than I have to. I guess I'd just rather play my game than play dress-up with a cartoon all day. On that note, Microsoft has introduced the inclusion of Miis into Xbox Live. No they're not called Miis, but they might as well be. Read The Full Story

Final Fantasy XIII coming to Xbox 360

, Jul 15th 2008 Discuss [0]

I know exactly why console makers fight so hard to land exclusive titles on their products. Unfortunately, we as the consumers tend to lose out on a lot of great games if we choose not to fork out several hundreds of dollars buying every console on the market. I've been bummed that I can't play any great Final Fantasy titles on my Xbox 360 since they're all on the PS3. Well starting with Final Fantasy XIII, that's going to change. Read The Full Story

New Star Wars game trademarks registered by Lucasarts

, Jul 14th 2008 Discuss [0]

I remember back when Star Wars Galaxies was announced, being the Star Wars nut that I am, I was about as excited as one could get. I won't go into the disappointment that the game became, but I have been getting my hopes up that the rumors of a new MMO set in a galaxy far, far away. Well, a few new trademark filings from LucasArts has added fuel to the fire that such a new game is in the works. Read The Full Story

Rock Band Weekly DLC – The Who

, Jul 14th 2008 Discuss [0]

The week of E3 is always big (even if the show is getting smaller and smaller with each passing year), so this week's DLC should be equally as large. We've been expecting a full album from The Who, however, due to some missing masters, we'll just have to settle for an awesome compilation of Who tracks. Read The Full Story

What do gamers do when they camp out for an iPhone?

, Jul 11th 2008 Discuss [5]

I, like many others lined up for the iPhone well in advance of the 8am store openings. I showed up to my local AT&T store at around midnight to find only7 other people in line. It started pouring down rain almost as soon as I pulled up, but after a little over an hour, it let up. Those of us there got to talking, and as luck would have it, they were fellow gamers. So what do you do when a bunch of gamers are stuck in one place for 8 hours? You bust out a 360 and a projector, and you game.

Konami files suit against Harmonix over Rock Band

, Jul 11th 2008 Discuss [0]

Rock Band easily consumes more of my time than any other game I currently play. Its unique gameplay and ever-growing list of songs make for a great time alone or with friends. However, Konami doesn't think that the gameplay is all that unique, as they have recently filed suit against Harmonix citing patents issued in 2002 and 2003. Read The Full Story
