The bonus of Yahtzee reviewing Dead Rising 2 this week is that he can’t really ruin the story as Capcom has already told us the entire plot in it’s preview trailers. I have a feeling they did that so that reviewers, and all of you, could simply stick the game in and get right into having fun instead of trying …
Rockstar games have released the official trailer for their upcoming Undead Nightmare DLC and this is honestly more like it. Previously I was a bit worried that the zombies were a gimmicky add on to an already awesome game and while that may still be the case it looks like Rockstar have nailed this gimmick perfectly.

Do not adjust your sets. This is not a drill. It’s not a joke either, although I am laughing quite a bit. Shock! Horror! According to the PlayStation blog the highly anticipated, perpetually delayed racing sim Gran Turismo 5 has been delayed yet again. Globally. There’s no real reason stated; presumably Polyphony Digital boss Yamauchi has decided on another feature …
Spec Ops: The Line hasn’t had much attention in the media, and heck if we didn’t see it for ourselves at E3 2010, we probably wouldn’t know much about it at all. While we aren’t sure if it has some true blockbuster potential just yet, we were pleasantly surprised to see a game that looked good, played well and had …
There are some who contest that arbitrary review scores don’t really matter, and that it’s the meat of the review that counts. I’m one of those people.

Following on the heels of the poorly ported and ill-received Sonic Adventure, classic frantic arcade and Dreamcast…taxi simulator Crazy Taxi will be released on the download services on November 24. The game will feature updated, 720p graphics and presented in …
Yesterday Karl reported that Raven Software had been hit with multiple layoffs, which whittled their staff down by forty people and relegated the company to producing DLC. Raven was acquired by Activision in the late nineties. It seems Activision’s march of doom is set to continue as the layoffs have now struck Robomodo, the developers behind the current peripheral-based Tony …
In what’s likely to be a blow against trolls and overzealous console fanboys, the NPD – who has routinely supplied monthly console hardware sales figures – have announced that they will no longer be doing so. How in the hell are fanboys supposed to anonymously point digital fingers and laugh over the internet, misguidedly pointing out that “Hurr durr …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!

Capcom's successor to its long-running survival-horror franchise is finally out, and if you've read our review then you know the game is a winner on multiple levels.
