If you like Super Mario or Ghostbusters, then you'll definitely feel the love gone into an instant classic on YouTube that has mashed up both of the two into a nostalgic pit of 1980's wonder.
The new Super Mario Busters 2 manages to shed light on the amazing concepts of both worlds, and somehow manages to merge them into something wonderful.
If Luigi's Mansion 3DS were to receive a follow up, the mashup by Farr is something I'd hope it to look like.
James Farr has become an internet sensation thanks to his plethora of videos on his channel that has managed to throw in some of this century's classic movies and games into a (sometimes mashed up) animated bundle of delights.
Farr has released Pac Man: The Movie, Transformer videos, and even his own mashup of Back to the Future and Doctor Who. It only makes sense that his next move was to cover the Super

An innocent looking photo of Borderlands 2 and Gearbox's PR man Steve Gibson taking a nap on a couch has revealed something that may get Borderlands 2 fans excited. Ironically, behind the peaceful looking image of the PR worker is a Borderlands 2 cardboard cutout with the words "Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep" on it.
This is the biggest leak you could get, as it comes right from the man whose job it is to make sure that content is shown to the public at the best time at the best time possible. Was this clever marketing ploy, or a silly mistake?
It's more than likely that the latter is the truth of the story, as after the picture was uploaded to twitter, it was taken back down again. Luckily, other sources managed to get it out to the rest of the internet before it disappeared.
Gearbox has since decided to reveal the details on the new DLC because of the leak, and has let everyone know that the game is set for release on June 25th and will cost $10 for

Xbox Infinity, Xbox 720, Xbox Durango, and now ... Xbox Fusion? Out of these names what sticks the most? It's a hard decision and will probably come down to a personal preference over a certain name. However, Microsoft's preference has yet to be revealed, and although the name, along with many other details are likely to be revealed by May 21st, us gamers can't help but wonder where Microsoft may be going with the name for this one.
Although popular rumors have helped to spread names like 720, Durango, and more recently Infinity, there hasn't really been any real evidence that the new Xbox will be called these things. However, a new name that has sparked interest over the past week is the name 'Fusion.'
Unlike the other names, Microsoft has already been busying themselves with new domains for the name fusion, and in fact the web pages Xboxfusion.com, Xboxfusion.info, Xboxfusion.biz, Xboxfusion.de and Xboxfusion.co.uk are now all owned by Microsoft and will lead

We've heard bits of info on Batman Arkham Origins here and there, but so far we haven't seen any in-game 'evidence' of the game. No screen shots and no videos have previously been shown. That is till now though, as Warner Brother's has just released some images on the upcoming title, and they are good enough to convince us that the third Arkham game may be the best one yet.
While we've discussed the strange combination of enemies found within Arkham Origins, there's no denying that the new screenshots really show how amazing the characters look. Villains like Deathstroke, Black Mask, and the slightly slimmer version of Penguin have been redesigned a little to better reflect the dark atmosphere in Arkham Origins and they fit right in. Of course, Batman is looking just as good as ever.
Are you looking forward to Arkham Origins? The game is releasing on October 25th for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U and the PC.

We've already talked about Rockstar's reveal on GTA 5's multi-protagonist story line, and have also talked about missions that involve two or more of the three main characters where players may switch between each character to get different benefits. Rockstar has now revealed three new trailers to show the three characters and their unique traits.
We can learn from the trailers that the first character, Michael, is a man who is going through his midlife crisis with his own family, but has also been brought into an action packed life of chaos and crime. He's pushed himself so far into the chaos that he's found himself addicted to it, and despite his huge fortune, he says he’s miserable and I’m sure his story will follow his choices between chaos or his family.
The second trailer shows Franklin, a character that has become trapped in gang violence and crime. His story will focus around cop chases, helicopters and the street life we've come to know from many popular Hollywood

After Capcom reported a loss in profit from their development and publishing team last year, Capcom has made a few 'business decisions' that will affect their current games and perhaps end development for some titles scheduled for release.
Capcom has blamed these decisions on "changes in the industry," and a "decline in quality of titles outsources to overseas developers."
These new business changes will mean that some titles currently being developed by overseas developers will now cease to exist, and Capcom will start throwing more DLC into their games to try and make up for their loss.
When you look at it in most ways it looks like a bad decision by Capcom, as games are now going to be flooded with even more unneeded DLC packs for costumes and non-game affecting content for their games, and even if they do manage to release some decent content that adds new playability to their games, I can't see how they can improve their profit as they've already created a bad

EVE Developer CCP Games has announced that DUST 514 will enter full release on May 14th, opening up the game to the public and allowing anybody with a PS3 to jump in and play. The game had previously been in Beta whilst CCP tweaked parts of the game, but now that the DUST 514 release date is seen just two weeks ago, it won't be long before all PS3 players can enjoy the experience.
DUST 514 was developed to be a free to play massive multiplayer online shooter that allowed players to fight over territory and make decisions that would directly impact the gameplay of CCP's other popular game, EVE Online.
EVE Online players can also get involved with DUST 514 players by sending orbital strikes and other equipment down to a planet that PS3 players may be playing on.

Details and footage of Quantic Dream's Beyond: Two Souls has been recently shown off at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 27th. Quantic Dream's director for the game, David Cage revealed details about the games overall length and average game experience for most players at the Film Festival, saying that Beyond: Two Souls will take players on average 10 hours to complete, giving it a similar completion time as David Cage's other well-known title, Heavy Rain.
The game does have multiple choices to make in the game that will affect the ending in some way, giving the player an incentive to play through the 10 hour storyline again to experience all of the possible story that Beyond: Two Souls carries.
Although the Tribeca Film Festival showed footage of Beyond: Two Souls, anyone that missed the event and is interested in watching what the game has to offer can watch the new trailer that has also been released alongside the Tribeca Film Festival reveal. The trailer shows

The wait has been ridiculously long, but it's finally here, Microsoft have announced that they will be revealing the next generation Xbox this year via a press release and similarly looking emails sent to Xbox Live subscribers.
The new Xbox, Xbox 720, Xbox Next, or whatever Microsoft decide to call it will be revealed on 21st May, which is a date that Microsoft has started sending out press invites to.
The event will take place at Microsoft's Xbox campus near Seattle just a month before E3 makes the headlines.
Microsoft have obviously planned this release to help build up hype for E3, where they have said that "At E3 we'll continue the conversation and showcase our full line-up of blockbuster games," in their press release.
Although Sony didn't reveal what the PlayStation 4 actually looked like at their press event, they did announce it to the world, and excitement has been rippling through the PlayStation community. However, if the Xbox want to get
