This is not a test.  This is not a trick.  And this is most definitely not Guitar Hero 5.  Seriously, this is not Guitar Hero 5.  It is Band Hero, a new entry into Activision’s crowded Guitar Hero franchise.  I suppose only until now though will gamers be able to call themselves a true band because [...]

There’s nothing like a little hunt is there?  What’s even better is if that hunt has a significant (or at least a worthwhile) treasure at the end.  EA is teasing about a new section to the RAGE site that has an exclusive video for anyone who can find the password to unlock it.  (hint: the [...]

We’re in rough times folks and retails stores are pulling out all the stops to win your consumer dollars.  GameStop took the cape off of their pre-order plans for Batman: Arkham Asylum today.  North American customers who pre-order Batman: Arkham Asylum will receive access to an exclusive Challenge Map.  The “Dem Bones” Challenge Map pits Batman against Scarecrow’s army of [...]

Comic-Con invades San Diego again this week (July 23 – 26).  It’s an annual event that brings out all the cosplay fans you’ve ever seen in one place.  There’s even one in Dallas which is like a tiny piece of dust in comparison but hey, at least we have one.  The 4-day event will highlight [...]

I was always one of the people who really wanted to see the old school styles of the Transformers in the movie (and game).  I was also one of the people who were a bit disappointed at the number of Autobots and Decepticons included in the game.  I wanted my old school Starscream and I [...]

Project Natal made what many consider the biggest splash at E3 this year.  Kudo, Microsoft and all the Natal heads were definitely in a groove as they put their latest “creation” on display.  With a mixture of paint and moving body parts, Project Natal descended upon the crowd to usher in a new era of [...]
