H.A.W.X. 2: The 8-Bit Game puts afterburners on our love

Posted by Kyle Gaddo On September - 2 - 2010

It’s so simple and so damn charming and I can’t help but keep playing and playing, because it’s really, really fun.

In promotion of Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. 2, there’s an 8-bit game you can play right on the official site.

Lots of fun, rockin’ music and most important, you can take more than one hit before your ship explodes in a fiery blaze! In addition, you can unlock extra content for the PS3 or 360 versions of H.A.W.X. 2 by playing the 8-bit flash game. Check it out!

Random Awesomeness: HUGE Gundam model made from leftovers

Posted by Kyle Gaddo On September - 1 - 2010

Title’s pretty self-explanatory. It’s a 10-foot Gundam model made out of Gundam model leftovers. You know the little plastic left over from the model parts which held the parts in place? Yeah, it’s made entirely out of those. And it’s awesome.

It’s not incredibly badass, life-sized and lights up at night, but damn impressive at the very least.

Check out the images after the cut.

Sonic Adventure for XBLA on September 15th

Posted by Kyle Gaddo On September - 1 - 2010

Holy smokes! Another Dreamcast game arriving through the tubes to the Xbox Live Arcade! Saturn games might be just around the corner! Sonic Adventure will join the ranks of Ikaruga and other popular titles as another Dreamcast release on the digital arcade scene.

Major Nelson’s latest schedule confirmed it for the 15th at 800 MSP ($10).

Now we wait with bated breath for a date on the confirmed Crazy Taxi, and hopefully this means games like Shenmue will make appearances on the service.

New Goldeneye 007 reimagined trailer drops jaws

Posted by Kyle Gaddo On September - 1 - 2010

Okay, seriously. My jaw literally dropped when I saw what they were doing with this. New Goldeneye game is going to be incredibly amazing. Two things of note, however: First, the game will feature Daniel Craig and not Pierce Brosnan. Second, it is not a remake of the N64 classic, but a brand new Goldeneye experience.

Check out the video over on Joystiq. Like right now! I’d embed it, but it hates me

Random Awesomeness: Creepy Pokémon hack

Posted by Kyle Gaddo On August - 23 - 2010

Thanks to Tiny Cartridge, I’ve stumbled upon some really cool Pokémon-related items, but I find this to be the best of the lot. I’m not sure if this cartridge exists anymore, or even if it ever existed, but the bootleg game/art-hack makes for an interesting tale at the very least. Sounds like something that would originate on 4chan, but who can say for sure? The internet is full of great storytellers.

Destruction Derby – The Emulator Review With Jason Heine

Posted by Jason Heine On August - 11 - 2010

Hello friends. Today I am attending a class where I will be making a speech! However, I made a little mistake as I made a wrong turn and ended up in a class dedicated in helping reckless drivers drive safely!

I don’t know why everyone has a problem with crashing, I learned how to drive early on by playing Destruction Derby for PlayStation 1! I got all my crashing out of the way early with this game.

Enjoy the review!

Rumour: Duke Nukem Forever taken under Gearbox’s wing

Posted by Kyle Gaddo On August - 11 - 2010

You like a good cigar?  Well, how about a bad woman?  Does it look like it’s TIME TO KILL?

Hell yeah!  Gearbox may even give you all that you need to kick ass and chew bubblegum (although, last I heard, they were out of gum).  What does all this mean?  Rumor has it that Gearbox, developers behind immensely successful co-op RPG/FPS game Borderlands, have taken up development of the infamous Duke Nukem Forever.

Review: Hydro Thunder Hurricane (360)

Posted by Michael O'Connor On July - 26 - 2010

Review: Hydro Thunder Hurricane (360)

Genre: Arcade Racer | Developer: Vector Unit | Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios
Platform: Xbox Live Arcade | Players: (Offline) 1-4 (Online (1-6) | Rating: PEGI 12

Back in the late 90s, at a time when arcades were still being populated with people, Hydro Thunder was a well liked but by no means stand-out arcade title, and the franchise held enough weight to see it ported over to the popular consoles of the time.

10 years later, with the arcades of yore little more than a memory for most of us, Microsoft Game Studios and Vector Unit are attempting to bring those fondly remembered arcade experiences into the sitting room. Much to our surprise, this well meaning endeavour doesn’t turn out to be an entirely futile effort.
