Play as the Devourer of Worldsin Ultimate MVC3
I always wished there was some way to play as the boss, seeing as they are the cheapest of the cheap and have all the cool abilities. Aside from the instance of playing as Apocalypse in X-men vs Street Fighter on the PS1, there really was no chance of you ever taking the reigns of the other bosses like Abyss in Marvel vs Capcom 2...until now.
Thanks tosome

London's Philharmonic Orchestra To Release An Album of Assorted Video Game Music Tracks
I love music, a various mix of them. However, I probably love video game music the most. Without epic music in video games that were conducted by such geniuses like Nobou Uematsu (the composer for most of Square-Enix's music) and Hans Zimmer (the composer famous for Modern Warfare 2's soundtrack), games wouldn't be the same. This past summer, I missed the opportunity of hearing Nobou Uematsu conduct with the BaltimoreSymphony Orchestra on their

Japanese Car SiteCliccar Roams the Streets of Tokyo in a Real Life Game of Mario Kart
Two writers from the Japanese car siteCliccar decided to get out of their usual business attire for a while and have some fun. How did they do that? Well how about getting two street legalX-Karts and roam the streets of Tokyo as both Mario and Luigi in a real life game of Super Mario Kart (minus the banana throwing and shell tossing).
These karts are priced at ¥ 379,800 (US$4,900) and are designed as "mini sports

People at iD Software Really Love Breaking Bad (but then again, who doesn't like Breaking Bad?)
So, if you're like me, when I take a break from PC and console gaming, I like watching some of my favorite shows on basic cable. In my past blogs, I've told you of my favorite shows like The Walking Dead, House, and Gilmore Girls, but I never did mention one of my favorite shows that I'm catching up on, Breaking Bad on AMC.
Well, if you're a fan of the intense crime drama, you'll

Controversy Over Similar Looking Logos Is Now Taken to Court
Electronic Arts, the video games publisher, is taking the fitness supplies company Energy Armor to court. The reason why? It's due to how Energy Armor's logo looks very similar to Electronic Arts' logo and also because their company advertises its products by using athletes (like Electronic Art's does with Madden and FIFA).
While I do believe the secondary reason for the court action lawsuit is absolutely ridiculous and should be thrown out (because if that was held true, Electronic Arts could

Method Man Raps For Upcoming Titles Featuring Sour Patch Kids
Method Man is known for a lot of things. He's a member of the Wu Tang clan, he loves video games (Def Jam Vendetta: FFNY was awesome), and has a sense of humor (despite we should ignore the "Method and Red" sitcom from years ago). However, I never expected the same man rapping about Sour Patch Kids. In this Youtube video called"World Gone Sour (The Lost Kids)" he raps about an incident involving missing sour-sweet candy pieces. This is

Hidden Gems for the PS2 like Godhand Are Coming the PSN
Kotaku gave us some great and unexpected news, as Sony has launched a campaign on the Playstation Network called "Only on PSN". This campaign will promote various genres of games like Move games, indie games, and rare PS2 games. When I heard about this, I was wondering what they deemed as "rare PS2 games". I mean are we talking about "great games on the PS2 that I'd have to pay out of nose to get a legit copy on eBay?" or we talking about "games that I can probably find at the

Chinese's Rip Off of Team Fortress 2 Surfaces Itself Again with More Plagiarism
Back in July,Kotaku reported about the Team Fortress 2 ripoff "Final Combat". Frankly, when the news got to me (the biggest TF2 fan in Arizona), my eyes began to twitch and I nearly blew a gasket due to the built up rage of hearing suchplagiarism. I was going to write a very wordy blog

Unfortunately, Sony has delayed the released of the portable gaming console by two weeks, December 17th. Which also could mean their European and North American releases could be delayed as well.

Sony's Rapping Dog Sensation Could Return in the Near Future
From those of you who don't know, before my days of laser sword dominating on Haloand lancer ripping in Gears of War 3 on my Xbox 360, I used to be a huge Playstation gamer. I loved that system and its assortment of games. One of my favorite games was the Parappa the Rappa series. But after Parappa the Rappa 2 on the PS2, we rarely heard from the rappin' dog, save
