Do you want to know every detail ever on BioShock2? You’ll have to play the game. However, if you’re willing to simply find out some new stuff about the game than GameSpot’s exclusive 12 minute video should do the trick.
In it, 2K Marin developers discuss the game’s story and other cool features, though it’s pretty clear they don’t want to give away more then we already know. There doesn’t even seem to be any new footage in it. I also suggest not reading on if you want to keep …

Van Halen is a rock band. Guitar Hero is a game that has rock bands in it. The two can thus go together, and when two things can go together and make money, Activision is there. Guitar Hero: Van Halen hasn’t really been a well kept secret, but it hasn’t been officially announced yet either.
That’s where the always early ratings boards come in it seems. This time it’s a German one revealing that the game does indeed exist and has been filed. The Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle (USK) is reporting that …

If that all-black DualShock 3 controller has just grown stale, and you’re not about to drop any coinage to have Colorware liven things up, GameStop has a fantastic solution — so long as you’re a fan of silver, that’s. As of this day, the firm’s website has a clear listing for a satin silver version of the wireless SIXAXIS, and anyone familiar with the silver PS2 controller will no doubt notice the striking similarities. Just so you know, this one’s been available in the Japanese market for eight centuries now, …

It’s been a while since we’ve heard more about the iPhone Nano, and even though it’s hasn’t shown its face yet it already has its own clone: The HiPhone Nano.
From the same people who brought you the Chinese iPhone-wannabe, the HiPhone, the HiPhone Nano is currently being sold in China for $125, which is an immediate discount from its $400 price tag. However, calling it a clone would be a misnomer as it doesn’t use the same user interface as the OS. With a 2.4-inch screen, the Tri-band HiPhone Nano …

Let’s play the word association game with Volition’s Red Faction Guerrilla. I’ll start. Fire, ostrich, crumble, break, topple, catastrophic … story? That’s right folks, you heard it here first. Red Faction Guerrilla has a story. The only reason I know this — I didn’t read Nick’s undoubtedly awesome preview — is because of Volition’s latest developer diary for the game discusses it. (Psst: knowledge is power.)
You can view the diary after the break. The game’s writer, Drew Holmes, narrates it. Apparently, the Guerilla takes place fifty years after the original …

Joining them wil be Hautewerk, which … what do you mean it doesn’t have a Wikipedia page?! Is that possible?

I need a new Star Trek motion picture about as bad as I need a fist in my eye. J.J. Abram’s upcoming take on the venerable franchise looks like a cross between Muppet Babies and Beverly Hills 90210 in space. Some fans would argue that this fusion is a good thing. Those fans probably like fists in their eyes.
Anyway, Paramount Photos and Sony have teamed up to pump the dumb movie in PlayStation Home. Surprisingly, the promotional clothing doesn’t look all that bad. On April 23, players in Home will …

Finally, a few whispers straight from the horse’s mouth.

Borderlands — that shooter from Gearbox that went from 0 to 100 on the hype scale in the span of a day — has had its dramatic art style explained in detail for those who still liken it to cel-shading. Gearbox is keen to point out that this is a new graphical technique, and considering how beautiful the character models now look, they have every right to differentiate.
“The new technique uses hand-drawn textures,” explains Gearbox, “scanned in and colored in Photoshop, combined with software that draws graphic novel-style outlines …
