Experience Half-Life 2 with the Novint Falcon

Want to see something fascinating/weird? Alix over at That Video Game Blog was able to get her hands on the Novint Falcon, one of the most atypical machines this side of game controllers. Don’t let its strangeness fool you—the device is nothing short of innovative, as you’ll see in the video.

Proof of auto-aim in Halo 2 for the PC

You may have heard this one before: Xbox 360 gamepad users get an unfair advantage in Halo 2 for the PC, thanks to auto-aim. Jeff Gerstmann told us all about it when he was still at GameSpot, but I’ve never seen it for myself since I don’t use Windows Vista—the only operating system that can […]

Bad Company’s Conquest mode arrives today

Do you still remember what made Battlefield games special? Any self-respecting FPS fan is likely to have experienced his or her share of Conquest, the multiplayer mode that placed developer Digital Illusions CE on the who’s who of first-person shooting. As you may have heard, Battlefield: Bad Company didn’t come with the gametype when it […]

New Wolfenstein gets supernatural in QuakeCon trailer

More from 2008’s QuakeCon—this time, it’s the new Wolfenstein. What does those bright energy beams remind you of? If you say Ghostbusters, you deserve a lollipop. Wolfenstein seems a lot darker this time around, thanks to the new next-gen current-gen technology.

Finish Portal’s 14th chamber in 4 seconds

Remember test chamber 14 in Portal? Yes, the tricky one with all those long corridors that eats up a lot of time as you move the companion cubes. That chamber. Well, a gamer named KingpinSYD just posted a YouTube video of someone (he claims he did it) going through the chamber in four seconds.

See Gears of War action figures in all their plastic glory

Remember the Gears of War action figures that are due in stores in late spring? You get to see them again in all their plastic glory, from Comic-Con no doubt. The detail in these toys is amazing. Like I complained earlier, just don’t expect them to survive a good ass-whooping.

Quake Live gets in on the hype

Quake Live will be available in your browsers soon. Problem is–there’s hardly any buzz surrounding the game, which is why the video clip above is a welcome sight. Sure, it may just be Quake III all over again, except that you can play it for free. But if you’ve played your share of […]

So Max Payne can dance

Our resident retro gaming nerd Joel recently showed us a hilarious video that just begs to be shared. It’s a clip of Max Payne from Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne. It’s actually a good idea to use the second Max Payne because Finnish writer Sami Järvi’s lookalike has this permanent constipated look […]

Resistance 2 boss may be one of the biggest there is

The new Resistance 2 gameplay video from GameVideos’ E3 coverage gives new meaning to the term “stage boss.” It’s is one of the biggest enemies I’ve ever seen, rivaling even those of Painkiller’s (see image).
According to the some details leaked online, the biggest boss in Resistance 2 is about 300 feet tall. The game is […]

Call of Duty 4 multiplayer tips for surviving Bog and Bloc

Remember the first video tutorial for Call of Duty 4: Modern Combat that I showed? Well, we have the second part right here. This time, the maps tackled are Bog and Bloc. I don’t think this batch is as good as the first one, but it still provides good insight on the levels nonetheless.

Fallout 3’s Bloody Mess perk is a bloody mess

I love Fallout. I played the first two games with gusto, and I’m looking forward to the third part. Others gamers worry that Fallout 3 would just be “Oblivion with guns” because it’s also being developed by Bethesda so perhaps the video would change your minds.
However, I do have a new concern with Fallout 3.
