So quite a few of you would have noticed a Gears of War 2 patch waiting for you when you got home last night. But if you were hoping this patch was going to fix the overpowered chainsaw or smoke grenades then I am sorry to say you are going to be disappointed. What the patch did do was address …

No your eyes are not deceiving you, it is indeed a Pussycat dolls bundle. the bundle includes an Xbox 360 Arcade unit, SEGA Superstars Tennis, Lips, A Pussycat Dolls DVD and their Doll Domination album. The real question here is why? Isn’t SEGA Superstars Tennis and Lips enough. They are both decent titles so why involve the pussycat dolls? Can …

Super Stardust  Portable releases on the PSP on December 4th, which is awesome news. I loved Super Star Dust  HD and it would make an awesome portable game. The main question I have though is how do you port a dual stick shooter onto a portable with only one rather tiny and rather flat analogue stick? Also how on earth …

Honestly I had never heard of this show before until Unsafestcorpse pointed it out to me on the Xbox Live marketplace last night. If you want to check out more of the episodes shoot over too their Youtube page. I myself don’t find it that funny after watching a couple of them, they have their moments though. [ It’s quite …

SF2THDR... That's quite a combination of letters and numbers. The good news is that the new HD version of the classic Street Fighter 2 Turbo finally became available yesterday on Xbox Live Arcade and PSN. I posted up a video of the gameplay for anyone interested who wants to check out the new look but it is easy to see that it is still exactly the same game as it was before. Is that a bad thing? I really don't think so and the fact that they went through all of the effort to convert every frame and background into glorious HD is awesome to say the least. I wanted to download the demo but when I saw that the game clocked in at around 370MB I decided to take a raincheck (It's "end of the month salty crack snack" for my cap).

What is there to say about it really. If it is anything like RE4 then we know that it is going to be absolutely amazing. In fact, the idea of taking the gameplay and tone behind RE4 and adding Next-Gen visuals and Co-operative play is more than enough reason to get me very excited indeed. So here comes the great and not so great news. A report from IGN, which is based on a Famitsu translation, suggests that the demo is going to be available exclusively on the Xbox 360. Another purchase from Microsoft or is this a hint that the PS3 version is having a bit of trouble? I don't want to get into any of that at the moment. There is unfortunately one more catch to this whole deal. It seems as though the demo is only going to be made available in Japan. That is of course, not saying that a demo will not be made available to other regions at a later stage. This means that all of us will basically not be able to get our hands on it without having to read up on a few Japanese postal codes and possibly get a hold of a VPN. The demo will be available from December 5 and is going to include two levels that will be playable in single and online co-operative multiplayer. It looks as though the demo will only be available to Xbox Live Gold members though. Maybe if we are lucky, we may get the demo coming to the rest of the world as well, but for now there is only confirmation of a Japanese release. As mentioned above, there is no talk of a PS3 demo just yet but sit tight because that could change in the near future.

Ok, I know that this is quite a strange one and I was quite lost at how to really explain it but I found it rather interesting anyway. The people at Maxim magazine were able to get an interview with the man behind the Mortal Kombat voice, Hernan Sanchez. 1UP report that instead of boring the poor man with strange questions, they decided to have him read some absurd lines of text into a microphone instead. They then compiled it into this rather nifty little flash movie that allows you to click on the phrases and listen to them. So there you go, click on some of the buttons and giggle as you hear him say strange things like "tickle him" and "Obama Wins, Flawless Victory". It's quite a hoot.
