Oh sure, you can get an achievement or trophy for uncovering enough of a map, but it seems that's detracted from the simpler joy of just finding what you can find.A new web project, "Traveling Without Moving

Harmonix: 'No immediate plans' to put Jukebox Mode back into Rock Band 2 2008-09-17 06:46:00 We were admittedly pretty bummed when our copy of Rock Band 2 was lacking a Jukebox

MMO features that haven't made it into Warhammer Online 2008-09-04 07:38:00 Among the legions of fortunate Warhammer
Online fans that have played through beta and the preview weekend is Syp from the Waaagh! blog. He's always entertaining and it's clear he's passionate about Warhammer Online. So when he writes about features

The Daily Grind: From MMO to TV Show? 2008-09-04 07:33:00 So we've talked before about TV shows that you'd like to see as MMOs, and numerous times in our ongoing dialogue the connection between television and MMOs have been made.

Fighter IV producer Yoshinori Ono: How's it going to play online

3D Realms: 'Several hours' of Duke Nukem Forever sort of done 2008-08-28 05:08:00 Is that the sound of Satan sharpening his skates? According to a new interview with Team Xbox, 3D Realms boss George Broussard implies that – dare we say? – development of Duke Nukem Forever

Kojima: Metal Gear Acid for PSN 'possible' 2008-08-23 10:44:00 As our stack of thick, leather bound binders filled from end to end with valuable Pokémon cards will attest, we're suckers for collectible card games. You could probably also tell from our proclivity to creep around the local Wal-Mart with a black bandana crudely wrapped around our greasy mullets that we're also diehard fans of stealth action. As such, it would seem logical to assume we're big su Read more:Metal

Akuma smacking evil back into Street Fighter IV 2008-08-18 08:01:00 We're not exactly sure if it was supposed to be a secret, considering we've seen his ginger likeness in media for the game before, but Capcom recently revealed a few Street
Fighter IV screenshots featuring the series' crimson-haired big bad, Akuma. Apparently, he only rears his nefarious head when an arcade player is doing a little too good, and hasn't fed the machine any precious quarters in a wh
Final Fantasy XIII Demo Will Last Two Hours 2008-08-18 07:58:00 Playable demos are nothing new, but usually they last no more than about a half hour -- just enough to give you a taste and leave you wanting more.

July NPD: Nintendo Still On Top, NCAA Scores Big 2008-08-15 15:00:00 Another month, another round of NPD sales data. Starting with a look at the hardware numbers, you may notice that something seems strangely familiar. The order of consoles from most sold to least is the exact same for July as it was in June.

Metareview - Pure 2008-09-24 12:57:00 We're been excited for Pure since E3, when we first got our hands on the ATV racer. Built by Blackrock Studios (formerly known as Climax Racing) Pure is gorgeous, with a Burnout-esque structure and a "why has no one thought of this" boosting risk/reward system that's just brilliant. Here's what the rest of the internet thought:GameDaily (90/100): "When it comes right down to it, though, Pure has s
