We've seen a slew of deals lately for Xbox Live Gold membership cards for around $30, all the while the official price from Microsoft has remained $60. Now all that has changed, at least temporarily, as Silver Members upgrading to Gold via the dashboard can pay the low price of $4 a month - or $48 a year.
Whenever I'm around an arcade, I will gladly forfeit a few quarters to blast some Zombies in the face with any of the House of the Dead games. Since arcades are getting harder to find, I was excited to see the Wii's light gun like capabilities put to good use with the House of the Dead 2&3 combo pack. Even more recently I was excited to see the new Wii exclusive story based House of the Dead: Overkill.
Get ready for a plausible rumor with a less plausible source.
Have you ever done something completely amazing in a game, and wanted to show someone, or keep it to relive the moment? Halo 3 had some temporary videos, saved as replays for a short time on your Xbox 360, and both Halo 3 and Gears of War allow you to take screen shots, but we've never seen the full ability to record and upload a video without expensive equipment.
Console bundles are not hard to come by. Classic consoles almost always had a decent game packaged with them, and with three hot competitors, manufacturers are constantly trying to find ways to lure consumers into spending hard-earned cash on their product.
Shield your eyebrows because Guitar Hero Metallica is going to melt your face to 11 - or something like that. I mean...look at the FLAMES!!!
I was pretty surprised last night when I signed onto Xbox Live and joined a party of folks playing Crackdown. Three separate co-op groups were playing and I wondered if I missed some memo. How did this impromptu session of one of the most fun co-op games start? They said it only took one person playing before the rest wanted to join in, that just shows the longevity and great co-op fun that game has. They wanted more!
Yesterday we told you about the console version of HAWX being available, though some members of our site had a hard time finding it. In the post we mentioned that the PC version of the game was set to be released next week, but it looks like that's not the case anymore.
The epic battle of a band of space marines against seemingly insurmountable odds, Dawn of War 2 is a unique combination of an RTS and an RPG. We dig deep into the game's two player co-op campaign to find out just who will be the last race standing. Our review is right ahead.
In case you've been living under a rock, there's this little comic book movie coming out this week: Watchmen. It just happens to be the greatest story ever told in comic book format, and the hype for the movie's release has been through the roof. The inevitable movie tie-in game bucks the usual trend, releasing on XBLA and PSN instead of retail. The first of a series of episodic content, Watchmen: The End Is Nigh will set you back $20. (Seems high to me! Who do they think we are, Ozymandias?)
We really, really, really wish we'd gotten a hold of IGN's question list for their latest interview with Terminal Reality's Brendan Goss before it went live. A two-page article chock full of interesting new Ghostbusters: The Video Game details, the interview unfortunately almost fails at getting new co-op info.
While a lot of folks are stale on the whole World War II genre of game, plenty of developers are trying to mix things up with alternate history scenarios. Codename Panzers: Cold War, the third in the series, is doing just that on the PC. Players take control of squads in this RTS game in a history where Soviet and US forces collide in an epic battle.
