Bond is back! This time with a brand new original story written by Bruce Feurstein, the same guy who brought you such master pieces as GoldenEye and Tomorrow Never Dies. Add voice acting from true 007 stars Daniel Craig and Judy Dench, and Blood Stone feel more like a movie than a video game.

Dogged by development issues and mired in controversy, EA’s reboot of its once illustrious Medal of Honor franchise is looking to take on Call of Duty and Halo, the twin titans of online shooters, in this Fall’s gaming charts. Can it possibly hope to succeed?

Over the years, I’ve come to expect a lot from 2K Sports. Their games are always top-notch, ultra-realistic and super-connected to the actual sports the games emulate. So it was no surprise when I strolled into 2K’s offices this morning to find the most realistic looking video game I’ve ever seen: NBA 2K10.

Not just the minx from Charmed, Alyssa Milano has now added video game voice-over acting to her resume by agreeing to play the role of Dr Ilyssa Selwyn in the upcoming Ghostbusters video game release.

Bad Brando impressions at the ready: Godfather II, out on PC, PS3 and Xbox360, will come with an all new multi-player mode allowing up to 16 wannabe Mafia bosses to “think like a Don” – which presumably means coming up with devious and blood-splattering ways to dispose of your fellow Mafiosi.

This morning, I had a chance to get some hands-on time with the latest from 2K Sports: Major League Baseball 2K9. And I have to say, I’m impressed. Like NBA 2K9, the game is a visual powerhouse, with graphics so realistic, out of the corner of your eye, you’d think you were watching a live game. Add in amped-up sound effects, real-time crowd noise a new broadcast team made up of pros…

Okay, so a monk walks into a Best Buy. This isn’t a joke.

He buys three CDs, eight movies, two computer games, Adobe Illustrator CS3, the entire X-Files series, Microsoft Office Professional, and Rosetta Stone v3, so he can learn Swahili to communicate with his half-sister. The cost of all that? Easily over $2,500. Two weeks ago he bought Autodesk Maya… Click to read more

This is for all those crotchety musicians that hate on Guitar Hero players ’cause, like, they should all learn real instruments and stuff.
