Finally, something to do with your Avatar prop

Finally, something to do with your Avatar prop

All those zombie dolls, BBQ grills, floating spheres and other useless Avatar props might have some use afterall soon.  It’s not completely useful but at least you can see them in a setting beyond your Xbox Dashboard.  NinjaBee announced that the Keflings sequel, A World of Keflings, will become the first game to allow players [...]

Project Natal price rumor, may cost $150

Just when you thought your video game habit couldn’t get any more expensive, rumors about Project Natal’s price come floating by.  Edge got wind of a rumor that Project Natal on its own will cost you $149 and if you want it bundled in an Xbox 360, $299.  Never go full motion as Sgt.

Harmonix adds keyboard to Rock Band 3?

Harmonix adds keyboard to Rock Band 3?

Would you like a keyboard with that 15-note streak?  It looks like Harmonix is trying to reshape the music game genre with the addition of a keyboard in Rock Band 3.  You can find the image in the newly released demo for Green Day: Rock Band.  At some point I’d imagine we’ll be having a [...]

Monday, MacGruber, Sam, and Akrids

Another Monday is upon us folks. I had an interesting weekend that included seeing MacGruber, revisiting Sam Fisher and getting smoked by some huge Akrids.

Online Pass initiative begins, more pay to play online publishers

It has begun.  Remember the uproar about the EA Sports Online Pass which outlined their intent to make you pay to play their sports titles online if you buy the games used?  Well it seems like the entire industry collaborated behind closed doors to form a unified front against used game sales.  Ubisoft and now [...]

Showcase – Arte Venture

How did you come by the gamertag Arte Venture? Originally, my tag was “Artemis Artium.” That came across because of Artemis Gordon, from the show Wild Wild West, and “Artium” is rough latin for “invention.” I later switched to “Arte Venture” because “Arte” is what everyone calls me and I look at helping people as [...]

Back from LA and Medal of Honor

Back from LA and Medal of Honor

Before I begin let me just say that I had every intention of doing more “Live from LA” coverage but my G1 decided to remind me that it’s a piece of crap.  I had no battery life to record anything beyond that one video.  But at any rate, I’m back from EALA where we spent [...]

Live from Los Angeles!

Live from Los Angeles!

Hit F5 often as I’ll be broadcasting from time to time while I’m in Los Angeles for a top-secret event.  My mission is to infiltrate one of today’s top publishers for an exclusive look inside a highly anticipated shooter.  I can’t promise any footage of the game but I can promise some really pointless looks [...]
