Not much in the news today, but there is this little video we think you should see, so click the image below: “So man created the rocket jump, and it was leet.” Freddiew makes a lot of fun movies with rather good special effects. Look at the rest [here].

The creators of the Sam & Max, Tales of Monkey Island and Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People series of episodic games are hard at work on an episodic series of titles based on the beloved Back to the Future trilogy (they’re also working on a little something based on Jurassic Park, in case you’re interested). They’ve [...]

Batman: Arkham Asylum was one of the best games of last year. I don’t need to tell you this, you know it already, because you’ve played it. Right? Well, here are some screenshots of the sequel – Batman: Arkham City – which will apparently have multiplayer, but there’s no word on if it’ll be just a [...]

Been wondering how well StarCraft II has been selling in the month that has passed since its release? We all know that the game sold over a million copies within 24 hours of it hitting store shelves, making it the fastest-selling PC game of 2010 from day one.

A movie based on StarCraft, however, is not happening. Not unless someone like Avatar-boy James Cameron happened to come along and woo [...]

Have you gotten tired of your plain old white Wii just sitting there, looking painfully boring and boasting a distinct lack of Disney’s flagship character? Then this ought to put a smile on your face. Game-industry legend Warren Spector’s newest baby, Epic Mickey, is getting a nifty collector’s edition if this Toys ‘R Us product listing is to be believed. [...]

It’s amazing how little has really changed in 30 years, if you watch this Activision Corporate Commercial (1981). Sure, the graphics have gotten better, but the underlying thinking, the blatant corporate double-speak and PR bull-manure, is just as bad then as it still is now. Activision: We’ve taken Frogger, replaced the frog with a chicken, and [...]

Could a big-screen adaptation of Rockstar’s epic Red Dead Redemption be in the works? If the rumour mills over at ShowbizSpy are to be believed, then there is, and Brad Pitt has first refusal for the role of John Marston. ShowbizSpy’s sources apparently had this to say: “This is an exciting project with a great character [...]
