Kaboom! This last weekend was full of disasters: earthquakes, tsunamis, and PSN colapsing on itself causing millions of pre-pubescent PS3 players to scream out in agony, demanding retribution upon Sony.

I just heard the good news! No, wonderful news! StraCraft II closed beta has finally started, which means the release date is just a little closer, and that makes me happy in the pants. Don’t think this is great news? Fine, go fornicate yourself with a gigantic Ultralisk! Seriously though, this is killer, so I log into my battle.net account like an excited Charlie opening a Wonka Bar “HOPING” for a golden ticket, errr closed beta access… Read the rest of this entry »

Hell yeah! Dethklok and Amon Amarth are coming to guitar hero! Okay it’s only 1 song each *cry* but it’s still awesome! The two songs won’t be available till January 21st. Really trippy that they’ve decided to put in a fictional band into the game, there must be some nerdy metalheads at work here, hehe.

All the track packs will be sold for $5.49 on PS3, 550 Wii Points, or 440 puntos microsoft on Xbox 360. The songs will also be available individually for $1.99, 200 Wii Points, or 160 puntos microsoft. A bit expensive for 3 or 1 song for my taste but that’s Activision-Blizzard’s blood sucking marketing for ya. Read the rest of this entry »

Alright, I ran into this on a couple of blogs (joystiq, toid) and just had to post it here. This is exactly what it looks like, a guitar in the form of a Koopa Troopa from Mario Bros. How awesome is that?! It probably isn’t Gibson quality or anything and it looks like it could be cumbersome to play, either way I’m very envious and would love to have one of these just because it is pure awesome… in turtle/guitar form!

Word has gotten out of the voice actors that Mass Effect 2 will feature, every day the line between video games and movies/series is becoming thinner, and I’m loving it! Bioware truly delivers games so narratively intriguing that you find yourself in awe not only of the gameplay but the storyline as well.

Apparently a Chinese MMO known as “King of the World” has recently implemented a webcam test to check if their players are actually female or not. Besides being a ridiculously easy-to-bypass measure it’s uncalled for and was probably only installed to satiate the revenge of some E-horny CEO that got fudged over. Read the rest of this entry »

Deng Senshan

We’ve already heard plenty of reports of gamers that have gotten themselves killed but now it seems they’re being killed too.

It isn’t known for sure if Deng Senshan (in the picture) was a gamer, but considering his age and the fact that most of those sent to Chinese Internet addiction camps are there for obsessive play of online games, he probably was. Read the rest of this entry »

I bet Sony is cursing youtube and the internet in general by now. Leaked fotos and videos have revealed that Sony’s new handheld system is the “PSP Go” and will be showcased during the E3 this week. One of it’s key features is that it will no longer use the failed UMD system but will rely on flash memory instead. Read the rest of this entry »
