A girl with guns and a sword, new trailer for Wet
We’re trying hard to temper any excitement for Wet with the cold reality that, despite looking like a lot of fun to play, the upcoming action fest is still sans a publisher to call its own. Even so, that hasn’t stopped developer A2M from releasing gameplay showing off the game’s high-flying antics, which look to [...]
Burnout Paradise teases ‘Cops and Robbers’
We’re not exactly sure what they stole, but judging by the teaser trailer for Burnout Paradise’s looming Cops and Robbers mode, criminals will have their jobs cut out for them outrunning the Paradise City fuzz.

Okay, so maybe we were a little harsh on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (the game) when it was announced back in February, but can you really blame us? First off, it’s a movie tie-in. Secondly, Activision’s video game treatment of the first Michael Bay Tranformers flick was awful. Having now seen what [...]

Rumor: Beatles Rock Band supports multiple mics, harmonies
From the pages of Game Informer, according to Destructoid, comes a rumor that the upcoming The Beatles: Rock Band will support multiple microphones so that players can harmonize on vocal tracks. Apart from making sense, given the wide use of harmonies in Beatles music, the rumor raises a question: Where are we going to keep [...]
See Bane in Batman: Arkham Asylum clip
We sure hope that Eidos is saving a few surprises for those who actually play through Batman: Arkham Asylum, because the above clip of Bane (who once broke the Dark Knight’s back) seems like it could have been a good one. As would be expected, Bane looks totally huge and totally scary.
Though we’re starting to [...]
