This is just too cool. I just finished Castlevania: Lords of Shadow the other day, too.

Awesome!  

The new WoW expansion is Mists of Pandaria because of course it is.    

We watched a fair bit of Game Center CX on the weekend, and if you have even a passing interest in video games and don’t mind subtitles too much, you HAVE to check it out. A number of the full episodes have been fan-subbed on YouTube.

Hi everyone! We’re back from Orlando safe and sound… and tanned, my arms almost match colours now! We arrived home around 10:30pm last night after a lengthy drive from New York City, which was preceeded by a flight from Orlando to La Guardia airport. We had a great time and managed to see and do [...]

As it turns out, The National are fans of Valve’s games. So much so that they wrote this song just for Portal 2. The song was hidden in the game as a little bit of an easter egg. Now, they’re holding a contest for people to make a music video for the song, and whoever [...]

This is a cool little short film about the war between old school 2d gaming and modern 3d gaming. I recommend watching it full-screen and in a higher resolution if you can.

As many do, I quite enjoy sandbox-style games. I had my eye on Minecraft awhile back, but never really could give it a try until now. Currently, the site (and therefore the authentication server for clients) is sort of borked by all the traffic from Penny Arcade, due to their Minecraft comic series they started [...]

It’s alive! From Kotaku: “2K Games has made it official. Duke Nukem Forever is alive and, well, in the hands of developer Gearbox Software, confirming our earlier reports that the Borderlands studio was helping to complete the game’s absurdly long development cycle. The publisher announced this morning in advance of PAX 2010 that Gearbox Software [...]

This is coming soon to WiiWare and possibly other consoles (not sure about that yet). I especially like the references to TMNT and Bionic Commando on the NES.

This looks fun!
