Starting next year, Gamestop is going to cater to DLC lovers. How you may ask, they are going to sell DLC... IN THEIR STORES. Ok, so something called Downloadable content, which can be DOWNLOADED in the comfort of your own home, is going to be sold in store? I honestly want to know who came up with this idea. I can't see consumers making a trip just to get something they can download anywhere. All... more.

Frontier has announced the sequel to LostWinds titled "LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias." I was very happy to hear this because I was a huge fan of the original LostWinds. LostWinds is definitely my favorite game on WiiWare so this is great news. The big change in Winter of the Melodias is the fact that you can switch between seasons, summer and winter. Seeing that the game has a large emphasis o... more.

Now, even though they ... more.

With all these rumors and talks about Video Games becoming movies, it produces a lot of hype and excitement. As a gamer however, I have a different outlook on it. The Story I have found that some of the best stories are not found in books or movies, but rather Video Games.  The fact that you are essentially the character, only adds to the story. With games like Fallout 3, the player makes the... more.

I recently read a posting on how Sony is giving away Guitar Hero: Van Halen for free . Let me explain before I continue. Basically, you buy Guitar Hero 5 and get the Van Halen edition theme for "free". In all reality though, you still have to pay for something. This is still a good deal considering how many editions of Guitar Hero that are put out each year. Maybe Sony is realizing that people don... more.

When I first heard that Best Buy was to start testing out kiosks that allow you to trade-in DVD's, games etc., I was ecstatic. I thought of the potential and the fact that we may soon have a better option then Gamestop. Basically the way the kiosks work is, you take games and then the kiosk determines how much credit you get. It then gives you a gift card which you can use in their store. I am ver... more.

At it's press conference this morning Nintendo, who had previously stated that new installments of it's title properties where in development, made good on that promise, showing the trailer for Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Wii owners may finally have a legitimate reason to have internet access. In an exclusive unveiling IGN premiered an upcoming 4 player co-op monster shooter called The Grinder.

The game is being developed by High ... more.
