At one point we thought that Final Fantasy XIII would be lonely on our Spring 2010 calendar, but with so many delays it looks like Square Enix’s large RPG franchise has some hefty competition. Good thing for Square Enix, then, that the publisher employs an army of expert designers with the ability to wow us with screens of the upcoming game’s adventure.
GAME Watch has a handful of screenshots, including the three bundled above, showcasing the game’s beautiful art style and reminding us of how far away 2010 really …

On September 20, Pearl Jam will release its latest record Backspacer, the band’s ninth album.

Not too long ago we told you about F.E.A.R. 2: Reborn DLC headed our way, but this day we have the full details on its release as well as some new information on a demo.

Sure, it looks good enough on paper, but how does the new G60Vx gaming laptop from ASUS stack up in the real world? The children at Bit-Tech have got their hands on this guy and have been cool enough to let us in on their findings. According to the review, the machine “acquits itself pretty well,” with the 2.53GHz Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM and Blu-Ray drive all holding up their end of the bargain — aside from the “stuttery” and “dramatically low” framerates encountered while playing Crysis (well, it …

One of the most highly anticipated games of the year so far hit shelves today and I just had to review one. Before I begin let me just state that I actually did play the older versions of this game and the release of this game is in commemoration of their 15th anniversary in the gaming world. They’ve done an totally extraordinary job advertising and marketing the game, as you can see through the widget I have in my Sidebar >>, and it all serves a purpose to advertise a …

Yesterday, EA Sports confirmed the first three fighters for its upcoming mixed martial arts videogame, tentatively titled EA Sports MMA. Headlining the game’s roster will be current WAMMA heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko, the Russian big man who’s considered one of the best fighters in the sport. Joining him will be Gegard Mousasi (Dream) and Renato Sobral (StrikeForce).
Signing Emelianenko would seem to be a major coup for EA, since recent rumors had him pegged to announce a deal with the UFC on Friday, and because he’s a major name in MMA. …

The Gadget: Garmin Nuvi 1350T, a reasonably affordable, full-featured, ad-supported portable navigator from Garmin—possibly the last PND we’ll ever review.
The Cost: $350 list; $310 on the web
The Verdict: Portable navigators are great, but they’ve reached equilibrium: Prices have never been better for the functionality you get, but if the 1350T proves anything, it’s that there’s nowhere they have the ability to go from here.

I hope you recognize that’s not a complaint: Forget all those frilly features like voice command and Bluetooth, stuff that you love for a short while but …

Sony Photos wants to bring Cole MacGrath to the huge screen, with THR.com reporting that inFamous has already been drafted into a screenplay by Sheldon Turner. Ideal known for his work on The Longest Yard remake and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, Turner managed to pique the interest of Hollywood hotshots Avi and Ari Arad, who will both produce the new film. It’s not exactly a stretch, considering the two are also working on the Uncharted movie.
InFamous makes for good film fodder, if we may say so. There’s …

If you’ve been keeping up with these motion comics for Wolfenstein, then you’ve likely come into this post prepared. There’s plenty of cheese to be had here, as we’ve got not one new comic, but two. We’ll just say this: These comics make any Command & Conquer FMV scene look like Citizen Kane.
You can find the other video … *dramatic pause* … past the break.

Thanks to the sharp-eyed folks at Shacknews, we’ve a bit of light news to share with all of the modders, level designers, and curious types in the audience. ACE Team released the software development kit for Zeno Clash earlier this day, which you can download and read more about over here.
I looked around the wiki for a few minutes, but everything went way over my head. Playing videogames I can do. Figuring out what makes them tick? Not so much. Zeno Clash is already about as odd as they come, …
