The Planes of Telara are overrun in this gameplay from GamesCom 2010 in Germany!
Zur Detail-Ansicht...Allow gamers to take up the mantle of the Taliban in your game and you're bound to receive some ire. EA is learning all about that with Medal of Honor, as the mainstream media and the British government have vocalized concerns. British Defence Secretary Liam Fox has actually called for a countrywide ban of the game outright, stating that it's "shocking that someone would think it acceptable to recreate the acts of the Taliban against British soldiers," even though you don't actually kill any British troops in the game. Still, EA Games president Frank Gibeau isn't sweating the bad press....

Pre-ordering Vanquish from GameStop will grant access to a set of three exclusive weapons: the Boost Machine Gun, the Anti-Armor Pistol, and the Laser Cannon. If, for some reason, you're not entirely sold on the idea of free extra stuff with your game, you can see all three weapons in action after the break.
Though we can't imagine what would dissuade you. Even the staunchest GameStop detractor must agree that Vanquish plus Laser Cannon is a much more attractive proposition than Vanquish minus Laser Cannon.Continue reading Vanquish's pre-order Tri-Weapon Pack highlighted in new...
Zur Detail-Ansicht...When THQ's Metro 2033 was patched to support the "Ranger Pack" DLC something went wrong with the game's Achievements. The problem was first acknowledged on August 3 and noted as potentially an issue on Microsoft's end as of August 5. A couple weeks back the publisher told Joystiq it was still "investigating."
THQ has sent us over an updated statement on the issue:
"We understand some people are still experiencing issues with achievements unlocking in the Metro 2033 Ranger Pack DLC. We are currently working with Microsoft to ascertain whether this is due to a code related issue with...

Financially troubled developer Realtime Worlds revealed a raft of new statistics today, offering a glimpse into the current state of APB (via Gamesindustry.biz).
According to a new report, the sandbox MMO currently has 130,000 registered users, with the average user playing for approximately four hours a day. The number of active users was not disclosed.
"These are healthy numbers and reflect positively on APB as a ongoing concern," said administrator Paul Dounis. "They prove this is a very enjoyable game, which is shown by the average player daily playtime and an ARPPU...
Zur Detail-Ansicht...In Halo: Reach you're Noble Six, the new guy -- the sixth man in an elite team of Spartans. So what's it like playing Halo alongside five other AI-controlled super soldiers? The truth is you aren't always flanked by a full team of the illest killers humanity has ever engineered. That would just be unfair.
Instead, Reach often pairs you with just one of your new pals at a time. Such is the case in "Nightfall" and "Tip of the Spear," the fourth and fifth missions of the campaign, respectively, which showcase what executive producer Joe Tung calls the game's "breadth of experience."...
Zur Detail-Ansicht...Technophiles have no doubt been anxious to traverse that final frontier of Xbox 360 S technology: the shared CPU/GPU, dubbed Vejle after the city in Denmark. This 45nm system-on-chip (SoC) trims much of the fat of its predecessor, slimming down to 372 million transistors (it is summer -- gotta look your best out there!), requiring a mere 40 percent of the power and less than 50 percent of the die space used by the original Xbox 360 chipset.
It's actually the first desktop-class processor to combine a CPU, GPU, memory and I/O logic onto a single slice of silicon, which cuts down...
Zur Detail-Ansicht...When we first wrote about the PSJailbreak tool - the latest in a series of purported hacks intended to circumvent the PlayStation 3's robust security precautions - we suggested that it might be a hoax. Notably, the screens shown to illustrate the tool at work were straight from a debug PlayStation 3; the same kind of PS3 that's designed to run un-signed code off of things like hard drives and the like. It turns out we were partially correct. The always excellent Digital Foundry has weighed in on the topic and the takeaway is simple: "the PlayStation 3's much vaunted security has finally...

The way that Yoshinori Kitase refers to The 3rd Birthday as a "new series" at the start of our chat in Cologne, Germany, is interesting to me -- and I make it a point to have him explain how he views it in relation to the Parasite Eve series as a whole. While he's quick to state that Square Enix doesn't have anything officially in the works beyond The 3rd Birthday just yet, he could very well see the Parasite Eve series continuing on the PS3 and Xbox 360 in the future -- in fact, you get the sense that he very much assumes it will. But for now, all of his attention is on Aya's...

We've all long since stopped bemoaning the death of the side-scrolling beat-em-up, I think. The torch was passed to 3D spiritual successors like Devil May Cry and God of War, and outside of oddities like Castle Crashers and a crapload of flash games, the genre hasn't really shown its head in a while (and barely moved forward when it did). Then Shank comes along and reminds us all that hey, these things could have continued evolving down a completely different branch of the great cladistic tree of videogames, to become something completely new and every bit as kickass.
Shank is...
Zur Detail-Ansicht...You've probably noticed that critics often employ flowery language when they're trying to describe hyper-violence, whether it's a "bullet ballet" or a "symphony of destruction." Never one to use my evolved human intellect to mask primal urges, I'm going to try to explain the appeal of Klei's side-scrolling kill-'em-up Shank in the most basic, honest terms possible. If the game's not employing the slightest bit of nuance, I don't see why I should have to.
Shank is a lot of fun because it lets you murder a lot of different people in a lot of different ways, and I think you should...

Zur Detail-Ansicht...Seemingly at peace with the fact that it may never escape the "Resident Evil 5 is racist" flap the game stirred up last year, Capcom USA is speaking openly about measures it is taking to ensure it can offer a non-Japanese perspective on future titles. Talking with Gamasutra, the senior PR rep for the publisher's North American operation, Melody Pfeiffer, confirmed that, "Since the RE5 controversy, we have become much more aware of how important it is that we are part of the asset creation process early on so that we are able to have a say in the end product."

Zur Detail-Ansicht...Treyarch is planning to do a little "official" modding of the PC version of Call of Duty: Black Ops, adding tools to enable user modding after launch. Treyarch's Cesar "PCDev" Stastny said on the game's forum, "We do not know yet to what extent you will be able to mod the game," citing some technical issues that have yet to be dealt with. "Right now we are completely focused on finishing the game."
Infinity Ward teased mod tools for the PC version of Modern Warfare 2, but that didn't end up happening. The good news is that if these Black Ops mod tools pan out, you can make all the...

There's an easy solution to that: check out YouTube user Kitty0706's "The Jacknife Chronicles," a twelve-minute, remarkably violent revenge story created entirely within Garry's Mod for Half-Life 2. We anticipate that it will it satisfy your action cravings in a fairly efficient manner.

After a decade of creating low-profile products, subsidiary Nd Cube is now wholly owned by Nintendo. And along with the company, the platform holder now employs several key members of the Mario Party development team.
Founded as a joint venture between Nintendo and the advertising agency Dentsu, Nd Cube developed titled including F-Zero: Maximum Velocity and Tube Slider. A recent Iwata Asks revealed that Nintendo now holds a 96 percent stake in the company (via Siliconera).
In a roundabout way, Nintendo now employs several members of the former Mario Party team as well. The...

Second, the first Kinect peripherals from PDP aren't the kind you might expect. Rather than offering up plastic tennis rackets or lightsabers, PDP has announced a line of products (first glimpsed at E3) to help consumers mount their new Kinect in various situations.

Zur Detail-Ansicht...Much like the mafioso antics of Mafia 2's Vito Scaletta and co., review scores for the game are all over the place. 2K Games probably wants people to fuhgedabout those on the lower end, but we've collected a sampling of the whole gamut for you below. And hey, if you haven't read our review yet, you should read it first -- capisce?

Fans who have been calling for Square Enix to bring Parasite Eve to PSN may finally get their wish (via Siliconera).
"Before The 3rd Birthday I'd like to do something for the numerous requests for the archives [version] of 1st and 2nd," Nomura tweeted.
Square Enix has already ported its PlayStation Final Fantasy titles, Legend of Mana and even Threads of Fate, but not Parasite Eve. By all appearances though, Square Enix has been holding off so they can promote The 3rd Birthday.

Zur Detail-Ansicht...It's a great week for Xbox 360 owners who possess a great deal of pent-up aggression, as the two-week PSN exclusivity of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World comes to a halt this Wednesday, August 25. The highly stylized, chiptune-enhanced beat 'em up will run you 800 Microsoft Points ($10), which is roughly equivalent to the price of a Scott Pilgrim movie ticket -- an item apparently covered in some kind of fatal, diffusive poison.
If you're looking for a beat-'em-up with more ... well, stabbing, you'll also be able to pick up Klei Entertainment's Shank for 1200 Microsoft Points ($15). That's...
Zur Detail-Ansicht...CVG reports it has a "cast iron source" claiming This is Vegas has finally been buried out in the desert somewhere. The title was under development at Surreal Software for Midway before the publisher folded. The property was then scooped up by Warner Bros. Interactive, but apparently met its (inevitable) conclusion when the developer was quietly shut down in June.
The site's source estimates Midway spent around $43 million on the project before it was sold to WB, elaborating, "The title was on the schedule for release late last year - but still needed another eight months to a year to...
Zur Detail-Ansicht...Bungie's proclivity for advertising its seminal Halo franchise with classy, live-action advertisements was exhibited earlier today by the release of a new vignette titled "Remember," which launched alongside the official site for Halo: Reach. The trailer, posted after the jump, features footage both old and new, blended together to tell the stories of a handful of Reach inhabitants who are struggling with the decision between "fight" and "flight" in the month preceding the events of the game.
