Gears of War 2 looks even better than the original

So you don’t have a 360. That’s too bad because Gears of War is going to have a sequel. We’ve shown you a teaser recently announcing this, but what you haven’t seen is how sweet part two is going to look. Good news: there’s a tech demo available, and you can watch it here:

Xbox 360 fans commend MS customer service, but are fine with console unreliability

I love the games in the Xbox 360. What’s not to love? You’ve got the best shooters like Bioshock, Gears of War, Halo 3 (despite my dislike of the previous installations, I actually like the latest one), The Orange Box, GRAW2, and I’m not even talking about the other genres yet.
What I don’t like about […]

Clive Barker’s Jericho review

If Clive Barker’s Jericho is capable of moving your bowels, then you may consider the game as art. However, the horror author’s second foray into video games is more reminiscent of a glossy Hollywood film—big on production value and budget, but rather shallow in depth.

How the real Big Daddy and Little Sister would look in your kitchen

Sigh. The things kids do for their parents. Sometimes, you wonder who the adult is. This video is a very good example:

Yes, it’s silly, it’s funny, but it’s also endearing.
Happy Halloween!

NBA’s Gilbert Arenas cheats at Halo 3

Don’t get cute, Agent Zero. It looks like Gilbert Arenas, guard and outspoken (yet unofficial) mascot of the Washington Wizards, has been busted for cheating at Halo 3 in Xbox Live.

The geeks at the Halo 3 forum revealed that Gilbert racks up his rank by joining up with a friend, then have his other […]

Master Chief does Mario in Super Halo Brothers

Yes, the video is indeed fascinating. What’s surprising is that someone took the time to make it.

Like you don’t know: Gears of War for the PC is coming next month

Here’s a short interview about Gears of War for the PC with Cliffy B. Yes, the game brings tears to my eyes when it came out last year. Today, I cry a river because Epic has finally given us PC gamers real love.

The best part? You won’t need a PC built for Crysis to play […]

Microsoft should be paying me for this: more Halo 3 ads

Yes, the Halo 3 onslaught continues. Here are a couple more Halo 3 ads. Thankfully, Master Chief didn’t have to fight huge lizards for these clips.

This one’s pretty good. I love the way the Spiker looked, and when the veteran picked it up, the weapon seemed really heavy. Have I mentioned that the video had […]

The best Halo case mod evar

Halo 3 is just a day away, and a lot of hardcore fans in North America seem to be lining up for the game. At least, those who didn’t preorder anyway. After all, lining up for a game is the best way to show everyone you’re hardcore, right?
