Congrats to Mr Squish for winning the main prize of the T-shirt, keychain, packet of field rations and a copy ofRed Faction: Guerrillain ourhammer of destruction contest. He smashedup his own handwithketchup and Photoshopa hammer which to me means thatthe game itself is the true hammer of destruction here seeing as it drove Mr Squish to smash up his own hand. The runner up prizes of the shirt, keychain and field ration go toYorkehandGorilla Redfor their drawings and Magnalon for hisvery appropriatephoto submission....

If you didn’t get a chance to try outAudiosurfwhen it was in open beta a few weeks ago, allow me to sum it up in one word: Wow. This forthcoming PC title allows you to “ride” your own music, creating a gameplay experience on the fly that not only makes sense, but is extremely fun and incredibly addictive. The game is a unique combination of the music/rhythm, puzzle, and racing genre’s, and its unique and innovative concept has garnered it the front-runner position for the upcoming Independent Games Festival....

6:00 PM PT on June 13 Sony is like clockwork with this. The first night of E3, they have their conference. It’s usually one of the biggest events of the week, and given that it’s at night and not when a lot of people are at work, it’s one of the most-watched. They’re chasing that strategy yet again this year with a June 13 conference at 6PM PT at the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall....

Sick of those silly walls deciding your path and fate inPac-Man? Well, you don’t have to take it anymore! Namco Bandai has announced some new downloadable content forTouch My Katamarifor the Playstation Vita. Among other fun things is aPac-Manlevel full of nostalgic music, ghosts, and of course, Pac-man himself.

But seriously, it looks great Several days agoit was confirmed that Zoddwill be making his way intoBerserk Musouas a playable character (in both his humanoid in Apostle forms), but all we had to go off of was a few old screens of a boss fight and a very low quality scan. Now, thanks to new screens released by Koei Tecmo, we can get a good look at the big lug, and he’s looking pretty fine....

I’m your prom date A story chronicling the roller coaster ride that has been theDevil May Cryseries would make one hell of a book. Kicking off with a stellar first entry that was born out of theResident Evilseries, famed director/producer Hideki Kamiya knocked it out of the park. The blame for the disastrous second entry, one that many fans disavow, was placed on Hideaki Itsuno (who was installed later in development, replacing a mystery initial director), but that incident was the fuel that fed the fire to createDevil May Cry 3: one of the gold standards of the action genre....

I’ve never made a secret of my distaste for memes. They are just below puns on the Idle-Brooks Official Scale of Humor, and with more repetition they only become more annoying. As they are almost exclusively the realm of fourteen year olds whose definition of the term “irony” actually hotlinks back to a video of Tay Zonday with the caption “I Can Haz e-Stardom?”, you can see how they’d strike me as a bit repellant....

I’m into both Spyromight not be the most consistent series, but I’m looking forward to maxing and relaxing with theReignited Trilogylater this year. It helps thatSpyroas a whole has a really chill soundtrack from Stewart Copeland — member of the famous groupThe Police. Copeland, and some of you might not know this, actually worked on the original trilogy and is returning to create a new theme song forReignited. It’s wild, I know, and you’ll be able to enjoy the original music in the remastered trilogy by way of a toggle button....

You won’t need a 32GB download Often times when a game comes to Switch physically, publishers have the option to cheap out on cart storage sizes and deliver solutions that are too small to actually fit the game. Instead, we’re tasked with downloading massive file sizes that take up precious storage space: something Switch owners are generally trying to avoid when buying physical (by comparison, PS4 and Xbox One require you to download the game to your HDD even with a disc)....

Indie developer Two Tribes has decided to try and get the sequel to their rather clever action/puzzle game,Toki Tori, on to Nintendo’s next console through WiiWare. In a post on theToki Tori 2development blog, Two Tribes states that recent information released by Nintendo regarding their online strategy has given the developer the confidence to pursue publishing on the platform. They also seem to have some great ideas for execution, offering up a potential control scheme which should work quite nicely on the Wii U controller....

MotorStormon the PlayStation 3 is actually really good, and I regret that I haven’t played it more than I have. Perhaps now is a good time to start — on theirofficial blog, Sony has announced that a new server Update 3.0 patch will be available today. The patch adds support for the DUALSHOCK 3 controlller you don’t have, as well as adds some other minor tweaks for online play. New in-game content will be available for download today, as well....
