The gaming industry has definitely changed over the years.  The music in games has become an integral part of the game itself and in some cases, the best part about it.  If there’s a banging soundtrack, I can usually get lost in the music and find a good experience in a bad game.  And when [...]

It’s time to control everyone’s favorite little gremlins minions once again.  Are you ready to plunder, pillage and raid again?  Codemasters released a demo for Overlord II yesterday so head out to the Xbox LIVE Marketplace and grab it.  Here’s the queue link for the people stuck behind a computer right now.  It’s exclusive right now to [...]

Fans of the 2K Sports franchise, NBA 2K, won’t have to wait until tonight’s NBA Finals game to find out who will be on the cover of NBA 2K10.  Kobe Bryant of the New York Knicks Los Angeles Lakers will dominate the cover this year.  Film director, Spike Lee, produced a TV spot that will [...]
