Max Payne 3 Trailer channels Big Lebowski

, Feb 16th 2012 Discuss [0]

The next installment in the Max Payne series of hard-hitting video games is coming on soon, and as today's newly released trailer suggests, it's going to have a rather familiar story line. The idea that the video and the plotline look but dont necessarily feel like the cult classic film The Big Lebowski comes from Dan Stepleton from GameSpy, and because he's so very, very right, we've gotta go one step further. Have a peek at the trailer in its entirety below as well as some clip-for-clip similarities with the comedy action film. Read The Full Story

PlayStation Vita pre-release bundles have arrived, pre-orders not needed

, Feb 15th 2012 Discuss [21]

While it should speak volumes that in order to get your hands on a PlayStation Vita before it's "official" release in the USA you do not need to have pre-ordered a unit, it may make more sense to focus on the price. Those of you who've pre-ordered a PSVita should be getting the system in your hands today or at the very least sometime this week, while those who did not pre-order the device will be able to head to their local gaming store today and pick one up for the pre-release bundle price.

Portal ported to Android in homebrew edition

, Feb 14th 2012 Discuss [2]

One of the most interesting first person action puzzle games to bend physics in the past 10 years has been ported - sort of - to Android. This game goes by the name Portal - perhaps you've heard of it - and what you're going to see is just the first level of many, many levels to come. The game centers around your ability to move through portals (in one end, out the other,) and this port proves that even though they're missing quite a bit of the graphics action, they can, indeed, do it.

PSA: Ubisoft games rendered unplayable by server transfer

, Feb 8th 2012 Discuss [6]

This week the folks at Ubisoft are transitioning between servers for their massive data library and while this operation goes on, many of their games, even ones that do no require an internet connection for gameplay, will be rendered completely unplayable. This is because Ubisoft employs a DRM (Digital Rights Management) system which checks to make sure the copy of the game you're using is legitimate each time you start the game up - if the server where this check occurs is down (as it is now), you will be unable to play these games entirely. In other words - it's not just you, it's every single person who owns a list of games from Ubisoft until the end of February the 8th. Read The Full Story
