Robovie is a creepy stalker robot

, Jan 28th 2008 Discuss [1]

Sure, his intended purpose is to help lost or confused shoppers, but if this little creeper comes up behind me and asks if I need any help in a Johnny Number 5 voice, I’m going to need more help than directions can give. And if he does it in an Arnold Schwarzenegger voice, I’ll be in a fetal position crying in seconds. Read The Full Story

Behind the scenes of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

, Jan 28th 2008 Discuss [1]

If you asked me what game I'm most looking forward to this summer, it would have to be Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. The game has so many cool things going for it, as you get to use the Force in ways never even heard of in the Star Wars universe. Just the thought of playing as Darth Vader's secret apprentice brings back the kind of excitement I haven't felt for a Star Wars title since SOE ruined Galaxies. Anyway, hit the jump for an awesome video that gives you a behind-the-scenes look at the physics engines behind the game. Read The Full Story

If there was one gaming franchise that was the most notorious for getting people like Jack Thompson up in arms over excessive violence and such, it would be Grand theft Auto. Sure, the first two games passed by mostly unnoticed, however, Grand Theft Auto III and subsequent titles have earned the hatred of parents everywhere. On that wonderful note, I'm happy to inform you that Grand Theft Auto IV now has an official release date. Read The Full Story

Preorder Turok and get some free swag

, Jan 28th 2008 Discuss [0]

I'll have to say that one of my favorite times as a gamer was when the Nintendo 64 hit the scene. I was still in school back then, and over the summer I had nothing but time to kill. Thus I spent most of my waking hours playing Goldeneye, Mario Kart 64, Zelda and Turok: Dinosaur Hunter. Turok is one of those games that I really didn't expect to enjoy, and thus surprised me. Unfortunately the sequels haven't quite filled me with the same experience as the original. I'm hoping that the latest installment doesn't disappoint like the previous title. Read The Full Story

Strange Vibrating Bag brings the rumble to your SIXAXIS

, Jan 28th 2008 Discuss [0]

I'm pretty sure that if you've saved up the cash to buy yourself a PS3 then you're going to want the whole experience, and thus you'll want a DualShock SIXAXIS controller. However, if you don't feel like ponying up another $70 just to get that rumbling sensation (which should have been in all of the controllers to begin with) you have another option. Albeit a strange one. Read The Full Story
