Well, you've got about a year to wait, but Capcom has released a gameplay video for their upcoming title, Dragon's Dogma. The story is that this is going to be a game changer, and while I have very little to go on in the big picture, the clip looks pretty impressive as far as the fighting goes. Check it out below, along with some images, and keep an eye out as we get closer to... next … [Read more...]
When I first played the original Fable, one of the things that hooked me was simply the fact that I was so willing to go along with a game that seemed to be trying to switch things up. Instead working a new story, and tweaking a few things along the way, onto the standard format we've all seen too many times to mention, Fable was clearly aiming at rebuilding the theory and seeing what they could … [Read more...]
You know the world of gaming is moving into a new realm of achievement when you start liking games you don't like. Make sense? Crackdown 2 is basically a shooter, but one with very open gameplay. You jump in as an Agent, trying to reclaim Pacific City from the effects of a virus that has turned much of the population into "Freaks," which is code for weird zombies. Unable to come out in the … [Read more...]

To start, it really is an amazingly simple game to jump into and get going. If you … [Read more...]

I have to confess to actually being a pretty big fan of those super simple games that come with the Wii. The boxing is not bad, and I've looked for a "bigger" version. For me, the full boxing games thus far are just a bit too serious. I don't actually have a lot of interest in having to really get good at a boxing game. Ready 2 Rumble Revolution looks like a pretty … [Read more...]
I'm not your guy for taking sides on politics (here), but now there's a screen, and I've seen everything. ISeeTech.com first got me onto this story, and you can check out more images in their article. One minute ago this MSNBC report on it was put up on YouTube.com Is Obama the new Coke?

Spore has finally hit the marketplace, and it looks like it is on the way to becoming just the sort of massive explosion predicted. Looking for a way to branch out from the Sims franchise, which has sucked people in for years, and never seems to stop releasing add-ons, EA has moved away from mere people and created something like a life-in-general sim. You start Spore as a mere cell thrust … [Read more...]
