While we’re not exactly sure just how many people out there are still interested in such a thing, Codemasters, the GRiD developers, are holding a contest for its players to design a livery (skin) for the above pictured car. The rules are real easy and you don’t need to be an art whiz or anything. Basically, download the picture package from here, and do your ideal to create an official “Codemasters Racing Team” livery incorporating the Codemasters logo into the design.
Going a step further, Codemasters artists will …

Okay, so maybe we’re not getting a 360 version of Diablo 3 (or maybe we are), but that doesn’t mean we can’t get our dungeon crawling fix. Of course, there is Too Human coming in August. Too Human is sci-fi though. What about strict fantasy fans? For them, we’ve Sacred 2. In development for quite some time now — we first saw it at GDC 07 — Sacred 2 looks to give fans of dungeon crawling something to smile about. We were impressed …

It’s a holiday weekend where we’re sure most of you will be out and about, enjoying the sunshine and warm Summer weather. But not all of you’ll. We know there’s a choose few (okay, about 76% of you) who will want to stay indoors and maybe rent a new motion picture release off the Video Marketplace. And really, that’s not that bad of an idea. It’s such a reasonable idea, that we’ve compiled a list of all the past week’s new U.S. XBVM movie releases although …

We swear that that’s from the actual, official, box art from this incredibly, improbably, weird game. Apparently Oxygen games thought that this title did well enough on PS2 and Wii, and are looking to port this piece of weirdness to a real next-gen console. Leaving aside most of the obvious ripping we could give this thing (its lack of potential for profitability notwithstanding), we really do think that a title like this does have a place somewhere in the 360’s library. It’s just not on the shelves next …

Going back to their traditional roots of only awarding one Artist of the Month (darn you Might and your four award honors!), Xbox.com has given July’s prestigious monthly artist honors to the latin rockers Circo. Solely based on the band picture above and not hearing a lyric or note from their album, we think they’re pretty okay fine. Anyone who has a cranium tattoo is semi-cool in our book. So, as with all AotM announcements, you can grab a few Circo music video downloads off the …

Okay, okay, maybe we jumped the gun a bit with our prediction that last week would see the release of both Soulcalibur and Schizoid. But we think Microsoft just figured out the pattern and decided to mess with us for the sake of it. We kid. Though we do think the idea still has merit, so in the spirit of infotainment, we bring you news of the latest Xbox.com page: Golf: Tee It Up!
Still, given that last week only saw one game released to XBLA …

We recently stumbled across some very interesting Bungie related news over on the NeoGAF forums that we’ve A) never heard about and B) feel ashamed for not not having heard about it previously. It’s news that (allegedly) pertains to Bungie’s next super secret project and the possibility that they’ve been dropping subtle hints these past few months. Odd and confusing hints that all point to the little janitor-looking “Superintendent” character you see above.
As the story goes, way back in May of this year, this mysterious (and adorable) Superintendent …

You already know about Cold Storage, the remake of a classic Halo: Combat Evolved map for Halo 3. You already know about Bungie Day, which is this Monday, July 7. Hell, you even already even know that Cold Storage will be free on Bungie Day (and forever after). But, we know you still crave knowledge regarding the latest Halo 3 content. Lucky for you, a few Bungie employees banded together to create a new VIDoc, aptly named “On the Seven7th Day,” to showcase Cold …

Mercenaries 2 news has been lacking a bit lately, so we were rather excited to see a new trailer pop up on the old Gametrailers.com. Actually, it’s a developer walk-through video with the game’s lead designer Scott Warner who shows actual level gameplay but played three different ways with all three Mercenaries 2 personalities. There’s plenty of tactical, covert and overkill gameplay to view complete with head butts, helicopter hijacking, button mashing sequences and explosive goodness that really doesn’t look too bad. Both visually and gameplay wise, …

Update: Descending upon the footage with ninja swiftness (we assume) the video leak of EndWar has been pulled. With the beta ending in a few days we recommend that anyone attempting to do it again just let bygones be bygones and wait for some new, non-NDA footage. Or at least don’t mention us ‘cuz we think you’re crazy!
A few weeks ago we reported an EndWar beta tester leaked footage of the upcoming Tom Clancy RTS title — non-disclosure agreement be damned. While reactions to our report of …
