Namco: If There Is Tekken 6 DLC, It Will Most Likely Be Free

Tekken 6

Tekken 6 fans have a little bit extra to be thankful for today thanks to a recent PlayStation Europe Q&A in which Namco Bandai revealed they are strongly considering releasing downloadable content for their wacky brawler somewhere down the line. Best of all though, the DLC will be absolutely free when/if it’s finally available.

Granted, this doesn’t ensure the DLC will be substantial or even worth the hard-drive space, but at least price won’t be an issue when its finally released.

Just Cause 2 Release Date Announced

2 Comments Posted 2 hours 47 mins ago - By Stephen Johnson

Just Cause 2

Open-world action game Just Cause 2  will be available for purchase on March 23rd, 2010, in North America.

We've been holding our breath for a long time for Just Cause 2; originally, the game was announced for a Christmas 2008 release. Judging from what Square Enix says, it will be worth the added wait. Just Cause 2 features over 1000Km (400miles) of South East Asian island landscape in "one of the richest, most realistic game worlds ever seen." Terrain includes snow-capped mountains, beaches, dense jungle and arid deserts.

Now as long as there's a great game that takes place in all that open-world space, we're all set. I don't know about you, but I would rather play a game that takes place in a "linear world" but has an awesome story and exciting gameplay than play a game with minimal story but a huge map.

Of course, in a perfect game, a big, interesting map and exciting story co-exist in awesomeness-- Fallout 3  did it perfectly -- so let's hope Just Cause 2 can hit that sweet spot.

Check out this brand new gallery of pretty, pretty screenshots!

Just Cause did an ecellent job of really making you feel like a spec ops guy. It was a game that was cool to take seriuosly, and fun to use your imagination and just have fun. I hope the second builds on that.

Square Enix Doing Cinematics For Deus Ex 3

Square Enix Creating Cinematics For Deus Ex 3

Square Enix has announced that the first collaborative effort between the Final Fantasy publisher and the (fairly) recently purchased Eidos Interactive will in fact be Eidos Montreal’s next installment in the Deus Ex franchise.

As Square Enix general manager Stephane D’Astous told Edge Online, “Deus Ex 3 is going to be the first project which will be a concrete product of joint effort between Square Enix and Eidos. The cinematics—by which I mean any CGI pre-rendered cinematics — are going to be done in Tokyo by Square Enix, and that's going to be amazing."

D’Astous went on to say that the Square team is especially excited about the project since it will be their “first project…that’s a non-Final Fantasy title – they even want to work on Thief 4 too, so everyone is really excited.”

When I think of Deus Ex cinematics, the first thing that comes to mind if the opening of Deus Ex: Invisible War, because I can still remember being floored by it (When that goo melts down that guy's arm and goes on to consume all of futuristic Chicago? Come on!). So the thought of Square Enix creating “at least the trailer and the introduction cinematic” has me thoroughly intrigued.

I haven’t thought about Deus Ex: Invisible War in a long time, but I remember really digging it. Am I misremembering?

I think it's an interesting development, I'm still a little worried about a rumor I heard in regards to it being a tactical shooter...that scares me. I'm not going to bother getting my hopes up for the game, because I know how much people expected from Invisible War and how much they hate the game now.

I didn't follow the hype machine with Invisible War so I'm lucky enough to have enjoyed the game without being overly critical of some of its departures from the first game.

Tony Hawk Hints At Future Games Using Ride Peripheral

4 Comments Posted 4 hours 32 mins ago - By Stephen Johnson

Tony Hawk: Ride Feet-On Preview

In a recent interview with GameSpot UK, professional skateboarder Tony Hawk revealed that the unique skateboard peripheral that comes with Tony Hawk: Ride may be used in a future Tony Hawk game or even other kinds of games.

"As far as I'm concerned, it's all systems go with trying to make at least a sequel for this," Hawk said. "I feel like we've only just really tapped what's possible with this technology."

Of course, Hawk isn't the end-all decision-maker when it comes to what games Activision is going to make, but, for the record, Hawk would love to see the board peripheral used for a snowboarding or a surfing game. According to the vert-master, snowboarding "would lend itself [to the board] a little bit easier [than other genres], and beyond that I'd love to do a surfing game. I always thought that Kelly Slater's [Pro Surfer] was an underrated title for the PlayStation 2."

Wait, what about hoverboards?

Adon, Cody And Guy To Appear In Super Street Fighter IV

Adon, Cody And Guy To Appear In Super Street Fighter IV

Final Fight  and Street Fighter Alpha fans will be pleased to hear that Cody, Adon and Guy will all be appearing in Capcom’s expanded and improved Super Street Fighter IV. The news comes via some scans from Japanese gaming mag Famitsu (via Event Hubs), which also confirms that the characters are in full Street Fighter Alpha mode.

As some keen-eyed observers have noticed, one of the scans features Guy defending himself against a kunai, which I know I don’t have to remind you is the weapon of choice of Street Fighter III’s Ibuki. While Ibuki isn’t mentioned, it’s a pretty good bet that she will also be making an appearance in the new game.

Are you particularly excited about any of these characters showing up in SSFFIV?

I think the price of the game should be switched to "i like turtles! Pee pee dumb". (that was translated for some of you) Because i have had absolutely nothing to do with the development of the game, nor do i have any idea how much work or money Capcom has spent on the game. Plus being the consumer i get to name the fair price that everything should be released at. and i will complain when they tell me how much they are going to charge for their game. (is that even allowed? they get to...

Black Friday Gaming Deals Round-Up

21 Comments Posted 5 hours 15 mins ago - By Jake Gaskill

Black Friday Video Game Deals Revealed

If there’s one thing gamers love it’s getting quality games on the cheap, and that’s why we’ve gone ahead and compiled the following list for you (with some help from TheBlackFriday.com, and Black-Friday.net), and highlighted some of the deals being offered at several major retailers on the upcoming Black Friday at the end of the week. I've whittled the lists down to what I felt were the most noteworthy, so expect to see plenty more deals than the ones listed if you decide to brave the crowds. Before I get to the full list though, I want to turn the spotlight on some of the deals that caught my eye, because the lists can kind of blend into one another after a while, and really, I'm just here to help.

By far, the best deal from any of the following retailers is Walmart’s “doorbuster” offer of a 120GB PlayStation 3 bundled with Infamous, Batman: Arkham Asylum, and The Dark Knight on Blu-ray for $299. Of course, if you have either game or the movie already, you probably won’t think it’s such a good deal, but as far as straight-up bang for your buck, this bundle wins. A close second would have to be Best Buy’s 120GB PS3 bundled with Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time and LittleBigPlanet Game of the Year Edition for $299.

The 120GB Xbox 360 Elite bundle being offered by Best Buy is impressive too, because it comes with LEGO Batman: The Video Game, Pure, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2, WALL-E, Sonic the Hedgehog and Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, all for $299.

Game wise, there are tons of great deals. Best Buy is offering Brutal Legend, Dragon Age: Origins, FIFA Soccer 10, Left 4 Dead 2, NBA Live 10, and Need for Speed: Shift for $34.99 each, Fallout 3 for $20 and BioShock on PC for $5. If for some reason you haven’t picked up Grand Theft Auto IV, head over to Walmart and grab it for $10. And while you’re there, definitely think about picking up Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 for Wii, NBA 2K10, or Madden NFL 10 for just $25 each.

As you can see, there tons of great deals out there, and all you have to do is read on to find out where you'll be spending your money this Friday. Savings ho!!!

Electronic Arts Committed To Pandemic Brand, Announces Mercs Inc

8 Comments Posted Today 12:17 PM - By Patrick Klepek

In the middle of writing up a story about superannuation discovering an early video for the currently unannounced follow-up to Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, Electronic Arts decided to make the whole situation official. Mercs Inc, which EA says is very much a working title for the project, is currently in the early stages of development at Pandemic's "new home" within EALA.

Mercs Inc will be the first Pandemic-branded game from EA following Pandemic's official dissolution. It will be produced internally at EA but carry the Pandemic branding.

EA released no details on Mercs Inc, but the leaked video suggested the next game would adopt a focus on cooperative and competitive multiplayer amongst more than two players.

It's currently unknown how many of the original Mercenaries team are on this project.

Far Cry 3 Confirmed And Looking "Pretty Exciting"

16 Comments Posted Today 12:16 PM - By Jake Gaskill

Far Cry 3 Confirmed And Looking To the shock and awe of no one, Ubisoft has revealed that it is currently working on a third installment in its acclaimed Far Cry series, CVG reports.

In an interview with the Official PlayStation Magazine, Far Cry 2 writer Kevin Shortt said that while he wasn’t personally working on Far Cry 3, "I know the team…and what I’ve seen looks pretty exciting."

While I wouldn’t expect anyone from Ubisoft to say the game looks amateurish and will surely establish residency in the heart of Suckberg, it’s good to hear the game is progressing nicely at this point. I contacted Ubisoft to see what they have to say about the game, so I’ll update if I hear anything.

Second Downloadable Resident Evil 5 Episode To Be Called "Desperate Escape"

Capcom Reveals Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition, Slate Of Downloadable Content

Capcom may not have publicly announced what the second Resident Evil 5 downloadable episode will be called, but the publisher had to tell others -- and Internet sleuths followed the trail. According to Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition's breakdown at the British Board of Film Classification, the second downloadable episode for Resident Evil 5 will be called Desperate Escape.

Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition collects all the downloadable content into one retail package. That bundle will be released on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in March, but the downloadable content itself will be rolled out in waves before that. The content is not planned for the PC right now.

Of course, the name Desperate Escape doesn't include "important" details that explain what exactly players will be doing during Desperate Escape...but hey, it's a start.

All this talk of Resident Evil 5 is just reminding me I never finished the damn game.

The latest installment in the LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues series of parody videos finds the game's blocky cast intercut with the high intensity tank sequence from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. If you thought Nazis falling off cliffs was adorable before, wait until you see it in LEGO form.

Assassin's Creed II Currently Outselling Original

14 Comments Posted Today 9:00 AM - By Jake Gaskill

Assassin's Creed II Outselling Original

Ubisoft has announced that its critically acclaimed sequel Assassin’s Creed II outsold its predecessor by 32 percent in its first week of sale, moving 1.6 million units since it was released on Nov. 17.

You might have forgotten this, but Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed made ridiculous amounts of the mean green when it was released back in 2007, and in fact, it’s still the fastest selling new game IP ever. Now we’ll have to see if Ezio will be able to maintain the momentum and end up passing the 8 million-plus sales mark set by Altair.

Anyone out there picked up ACII despite skipping the first game?

Responding To Your Counter-Arguments To My "No Russian" Criticisms

66 Comments Posted Yesterday 5:25 PM - By Patrick Klepek

I knew there would be a heated response to my argument last Friday that Infinity Ward and publisher Activision did not provide enough of a detailed warning about the "No Russian" sequence in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Even though I stated multiple times the sequence represents an important milestone for the medium, many readers disagreed with my criticism that players should have been allowed the option to better learn what was potentially "disturbing" and "offensive."

I wanted to highlight some of the counter-arguments readers made and respond to them today.

Please g4, fire this individual so that I do not have to sift through such trash to get real news. Never before have I seen such an allowance for personal whining. This writer felt insulted because readers showed him he was wrong and they did not care for his opinion. Instead of taking this to heart and learning, he whines.

To the writer: Your whole, entire argument is invalid. The option at the beginning of the game was not to skip or play the mission. The option was: "Would you...

Borderlands Gets Zombified DLC Tomorrow

Borderlands DLC Zombie Island of Dr. Ned Launch Trailer »


If you’re one of the zero people who has nothing left to do in Gearbox Software’s RPG-shooter Borderlands, then you’ll be pleased to know that the first batch of downloadable content for the game will be released tomorrow.

“The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned” DLC tells the tale of a zombie outbreak in Jakobs Cove that players must attempt to quell by finding a cure (you know, other than lead to the brain). Dr. Ned is of course behind the outbreak, but the level of his involvement isn’t exactly clear as of yet. Guess you’ll just have to pick up the DLC pack when it goes on sale tomorrow for PlayStation 3 ($9.99) and Xbox 360 (800 Microsoft Points) to find out.

Anyone planning on buying this zombie-tastic DLC?

Family Games for Thanksgiving

Okonoko
10 Comments Posted Yesterday 1:53 PM - By Andrew Pfister

Family Games for Thanksgiving

If you're packing for your trip home later this week for Thanksgiving, or if you're hosting the familial festivities yourself, perhaps the thought of group video gaming has crossed your mind. But what's good for your eclectic menagerie of friends and endearingly dysfunctional family members to play together on Thursday? Dad will probably prefer to watch the Lions lose to Green Bay than play as them in Madden, and Mom's probably going to be wondering more about your shaggy haircut than your Modern Warfare 2 ranking, so it'd be worth it to change your approach. To help you out, here are a few suggestions for Turkey Day. (Save Left 4 Dead 2 for when everyone else out battling the Mall Horde on Black Friday.)

Appetite Enhancers

While Mom's in the kitchen preparing the feast (and really, Dad should be in there too helping out), use these motion-intensive games to work up an appetite…you're going to need it. These small-bite games are good for people on rotating kitchen duty: bowl a turkey, stuff a turkey!

Wii Sports Resort (Wii) -- Wii bowling has made itself an annual tradition for many, and fencing can be used to resolve any simmering sibling rivalries. The problem might be acquiring enough MotionPlus gadgets, but most events will let you pass the controller.
