APB Gets A Release Window, May Be Coming This Year
With the news that Medal of Honor might be making its way to gamers this summer, we also learned that APB, the new MMO from EA, is scheduled to arrive within the same time period. EA's Q2 2011 fiscal quarter places the game between July and September of 2010, which means we could be seeing it around the same time that Medal of Honor is poised to drop (barring any delays, of course). The game has been in closed beta for a few months now, so it sounds like it is indeed very closed to the polishing...
EA Announces New Games From BioWare, Epic, And More
In the latest conference call EA held, a lot of nice tidbits dropped. We already heard about Medal of Honor possibly enjoying a Summer 2010 release, but new games have been announced, as well. Unsurprisingly, a new Dragon Age title is in the works. BioWare has always talked about how they are excited to go forward with the successful new IP, so hearing this was just a matter of time.
One thing that did surprise us, though, is that EA is working with Epic on a new shooter. There's also an "Act...
Medal Of Honor Coming A Lot Sooner Than We Thought
It was only just recently (around the Spike TV Video Game Awards show) that EA announced Medal of Honor was in the works. Since then, we've learned some significant details, but nothing major. The latest word comes in through an EA conference call that the game will be released in Quarter 2 of their 2011 fiscal year, which is from July to September 2010. It's crazy to think that we could be seeing this game just after E3, but don't hold your breath because the September date more than likely wi...
Spike TV Making A God of War 3 Reality TV Competition
So it seems like the God of War 3 marketing is starting to kick in now. Spike TV is now casting God of War fans into a competition where they will bring Kratos physical power, knack for solving puzzles, and awesome finishing moves and bring it to real-life. Filming starts March 1st in Las Vegas and LA. Do you think your hardcore enough to handle this type of competition, check out the details on how to enter.
Spike TV is looking for Hard Core Gamers and fans of God of War to compete in a HUGE T...
Confirmed: Nintendo Working On New Hardware, Says Miyamoto
Miyamoto recently confirmed the rumors that Nintendo were indeed working on new hardware. We first heard of reports of new hardware a few days ago, when an industry insider close to VideoGamer.com disclosed some information regarding a revelation at this year's Game Developer's Conference. Japanese gaming reporter site Andriasang attended the Annual Japan Media Arts Festival, where Nintendo boss Shigeru Miyamoto confirmed that they were indeed working on something new.
While we know it's not ...
New Metro 2033 Trailer Makes Post-Apocalyptic World Look Attractive
This is one game in particular that not many people seem to be checking up on. Metro 2033 is a post-apocalyptic shooter, survival horror, and RPG game set in Moscow, where players are taken through the story based on the similarly-named novel by Dmitry Glukhovsk, a russian author. It looks pretty interesting, but go ahead and check out this trailer to come up with your own conclusion. The game is scheduled to release March 16th, 2010 for the Xbox 360 and PC platforms.

Alpha Protocol Delayed Again To The Summer
Is this game ever coming out? Delayed once again, Alpha Protocol is expected to covertly enter your homes this summer. With an original release date of October 2009, Sega pushed it up to Spring 2010 for some polishing. Apparently the game isn't shiny enough, so its been pushed up to Summer 2010 for more polishing. MTV tried out the game last week at an event and felt the
“graphics remain pretty raw and there seem to be AI issues still to be worked out”
If that's the case, the delay is welc...
Iron Man 2 Trailer Has A Fetish For Metal
Sega promised us that Iron Man 2 would be a lot better than the original game (based on the movie, which is subsequently based on the comic). While this trailer doesn't do much to prove that Sega is on their way to making that happen, it does look somewhat promising. We still need to see a lot more, though, before passing any judgment. In any case, just enjoy this trailer as Tony Starks prepares to make his return to consoles (and as he also wishes he'd never built himself the iron suit to begin...
Tweetalert: Modern Warfare 2 Receives A Long-Awaited Care Package Of Bug Fixes
Having one of the biggest games (as far as online activity goes) doesn't always spell happy days. The more people that play your game, the more people will find and exploit game-breaking bugs that ruin the experience for everyone else. Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 2 has been plagued by bugs since the game's launch, and new glitches are popping up each and every day. At least we know Infinity Ward isn't sleeping, though, as Robert Bowling recently confirmed to Game Informer that the [Xbox 360] ...
