Sure, you could get Assassin's Creed 2 for the PC, assuming you can actually play it (Ubisoft are *already* having troubles keeping their DRM servers up). You could get BlazBlue Portable if you have a PSP. PS3 owners get Mega Man 10 and Yakuza 3 (minus certain parts of the ...
I would personally consider 2009 a fairly sub-par year for Nintendo, in which the company seemed to rest on its laurels and let Sony and Microsoft make (or lay the groundwork for) major advances on Nintendo's market share.. Fortunately, as Nintendo's new roadmap for early 2010 demonstrates, they are bringing ...
I've had July 16, 2010 circled on my calendar for many months now. Because Toy Story 3 is going to be my daughters first movie seen in the theatre. And myself, I'm a huge fan of everything Pixar does, starting with the original Toy Story. With the original cast back ...

It’s a fairly light week of new content on the PSN, with the biggest arrival being the Capcom’s new/retro Mega Man 10. But you know what excites me the most? Free new costumes for MAG.

It’s yet another exciting edition of On Tap. Apparently, there’s a pretty big game coming out this week. We won’t give it away, but let’s just call it F Fantasy. No, wait, that’s too obvious. We’ll call it Final F. Even an RPG newb like Jeff is interested in this one. Plus, get your tin foil hats out, cause there’s no way that Ubisoft could be messing up their new DRM this badly without some sort of sinister ulterior motive, right? On Tap. By Jeff Peeters featuring Akon.

Our heroes Jeff and Greg break down the nominations for the 2009 Spike Video Game Awards. We’re not exactly sure why they decided to do this, probably so they can talk about how great Brutal Legend was, but that won’t stop us from enjoying the hilarity that is bound to ensue. Enjoy!
Volume 2 of the Roundtable see our heroes tackle games they’re waiting for, retro remakes, alternative control schemes, and more. Plus, Tim Schafer vs. Chuck Norris: who would win, and would we survive?
The first GamerPops roundtable. It’s a lot of Batman talk, a little “getting to know you”, and Jeff’s contempt for “All Tim Schafer, All the Time”.
