Call of Duty 4 Pre-Alpha Gameplay
Thursday, June 21st, 2007GameVideos.com has a new vid up showing some pre-alpha gameplay for Call of Duty 4. The game has a new modern setting, which I must say I’m excited for. I got pretty burned out on all the World War II shooters that have been coming down the pike in the last few years. And, yeah, [...]
PS3 Causes a Casualty

Soul Calibur IV Gets a Boob Job
Thursday, June 14th, 2007Games Radar noticed that the women of Soul Calibur have been changed a bit since the last game installment. It would seem that the developers over at Namco have decided bigger is better when it comes to boobs. And why not? With high definition gaming on the rise, boobs have never looked better flopping around [...]
Soul Calibur 4 Teased
Wednesday, June 13th, 2007Earlier today 1up posted the first teaser trailer for Soul Calibur 4. I gotta say, it looks pretty slick, except for the fact that there’s not really any animation in it, at least as far as the actual characters go. But maybe that’s a good thing, considering Ivy’s, um, assets. This REALLY gives the word [...]

All-Pro Football 2K8: Legendary?
Thursday, June 7th, 2007IGN has some screenshots of the latest 2K Sports attempt to dethrone Madden. All-Pro Football 2K8 is filled with legends of the game. (By the way, how short-sighted was the idea to name your Franchise after a terrible millenium abbreviation? 2K8? Is this a year, or R2D2′s cousin with a bad motivator?) Anyway, it looks [...]
Sony Bribes Gamestop Managers To Sell PS3′s
Thursday, June 7th, 2007I practically cringe whenever I walk up to the counter of a Gamestop store when buying something. I know in a few seconds I am going to be accosted by a sales clerk to buy a scratch protection plan on my game disc, or some other bullshit warranty I don’t want. After this latest story, [...]
Sony’s President: PS3 Price Cut Possible
Wednesday, June 6th, 2007In what would seem like possibly the most obvious statement of the year, Sony’s president Ryoji Chubachi was quoted in Tokyo Daily as saying “[Sony] does not rule out the possibility of lowering the price” of the PS3. Well, glad to hear they haven’t ruled it out – seeing as how every company eventually drops [...]
Blue-ray Price Drop – PS3 Next?
Tuesday, June 5th, 2007You can now buy a Blue-ray player for cheaper than a PS3, which Sony is crediting to “production efficiencies” and cheaper components. Sony recently slashed $100 off the price of their Blue-ray player, bringing the price down to a cool $499. Of course, the next logical assumption is that if components have dropped in price, [...]
Haze vs Crysis – Ready … Fight!
Wednesday, May 30th, 2007Sony made some big claims about the Cell processor back during the pre-launch phase of the PS3. According to Sony, their new processor could do almost anything, just short of curing cancer. Now that the PS3 has been out for a few months, we’re all still waiting to see what the PS3 is really capable [...]
