Taking music rhythm games in a new direction, Scratch: The Ultimate DJ promises to let you live out those spinning and scratching fantasies to the full when it drops later this year on PS3 and Xbox360. (more…)

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.

Adding another dimension to the merciless killings and horse heads in beds action, you’ll be able to wager currency clocked up in the solo mode against your online performance, as well as recruit other players to join the ranks of your crime family.

Set against the backdrop of the 1960’s organized crime world, you can see who’s the ultimate Don of Dons on April 7th when the game’s released. In the meantime, check out more info here.

E3 rages onward, and like any gaming expo, one of the main orders of the day is the sequel. Some people hate sequels, and rightfully so. A sequel done poorly is just a rehashing of the original game with new stuff added that either ruins what was fun about the original or just feels boring. Take Unreal Tournament for example. The 99′ edition was bitchin’. Every release after that, less so. They announced UT3 today and no one gives a shit because nothing feels fresh and all the old classic stuff that people loved has been squeezed out. (more…)

I don’t like to talk about how the XBOX360 is better then the PS3. I own a 360, but I’ve played the PS3 and I like it just fine. It’s a solid platform and the game I played on it (Ratchet and Clank) was quite fun. However, if you can’t read the writing on the wall that the PS3 is hurting, you’re either completely blind or hopelessly obsessed.

Yesterday at E3, Square Enix showed a trailer for the next game in their hyper-popular series, Final Fantasy. A series that was first a Nintendo property, and then at the turn of the console wars (when the N64 proved to be the weaker system) swore allegiance to the Playstation platform. Until now. The next game, Final Fantasy XIII (which looks, for all intents in purposes, gorgeous but pretty standard) will be available for both the 360 and the PS3.

Stuck at the office with nothing to do? Or maybe you had to mail your XBOX360 in for repairs and it’s raining? Or maybe you’re really hung over and the sun’s rays feel like stabbing needles.

The Last Stand & The Last Stand 2

Two great games to get us started here based around a familiar but important scenario: the coming (oh, it’s coming) zombie apocalypse. This clicking shooter has some fun RPG elements. It puts you in the character of a lone survivor, who must defend his barricade from the oncoming zombie hordes. (more…)

Summer’s here and that means it’s time to neglect that reading list and playing some goddamn video games. Unfortunately, your job painting houses at ‘College Kids F**k Your House Up,’ has neglected to return any income (“Dude, I totally have the cash but I keep forgetting”), so as usual, your broke.

No problem. Here’s five classic games that you should be able to find in the used/bargain bin section that’ll give you all the excuse you need to ignore other, less important things in your life. (more…)

The first day of summer has just come and gone, meaning you have an open schedule for 90 days to accomplish anything you would like until fall arrives and classes begin.

With hard work and dedication, all these things can be accomplished before September 21st.

September 25 can’t come quick enough for fans of the Halo franchise. Early reports on Halo 3, easily one of the most anticipated games of all time, have been more than favorable; but outside of the gaming elite nobody has seen concrete evidence.

The most recent clip puts all doubt out the door, with more emphasis on action than previous trailers. FPS fans shouldn’t worry any further, as Master Chief’s latest fragfest is gearing up to be a bonafide showstopper.

Watch the new teaser clip after the jump.
