How to tell other people's stories.
A plodding prelude to an opus.
Sweet, sweet destruction.
Nintendo recently admitted that it has zero plans to enter the nausea-inducing world of Facebook gaming -- which is nice, because if current Facebook gaming is any indication, Nintendo's saved my news feed from being polluted with menial updates every time one of my friends finds a mushroom or kills a Goomba. Yes, Facebook games have finally surpassed Carlos Mencia's Twitter account as the bane of all social networking. But for the unfamiliar the true import behind all those inconsequential farm- and mafia-related notifications that sprawl across your monitor every morning may be equally baffling. So to help, here's a handy translation guide to what your Facebook friends are really doing with their lives these days. Read More »
Rebellion's Aliens vs. Predator is about to get its first round of downloadable content.

It'll be costing you 560 Microsoft Points or $6.99. Read More »
According to a recent set of tweets from Ubi, its DRM servers were still under fire from faceless attackers as of 16 hours ago, but then at 1AM Central European Time, word came in that the login servers were just peachy once more. But for how long? Read More »
After yesterday's news that Valve Software is bringing its digital distribution platform Steam to Apple's Mac OS X this year, the publisher's Left 4 Dead blog spurs on the celebrations by revealing that both PC and Mac Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 players will be able to team up together.

In exactly one week from today Sony's highly anticipated God of War III will be unleashed on PlayStation 3 owners around the world. It's easily one of the best-looking games ever made, but will Kratos' third (fourth if you count the PSP game) outing be his most triumphant yet? Let's review: 1080p, blazing frame rate, insane violence and gore, cheeky bedroom antics... How can it possibly fail? Tune in for our final verdict soon. See More »
EA's last-gen shooter Black was often touted as being "gun porn." Whether or not that's a bad thing is a matter of personal taste, but the game's lead designer Stuart Black is now onboard with Codemasters in the UK and is spearheading his new FPS project -- Bodycount. We've snagged the first couple of the official shots, and we're expecting to see great things emerge in the future. Will it be excessively violent? Here's hoping... See More »
Sony Online Entertainment is diving into the growing social gaming pool with its first Facebook title, PoxNora, a game that SOE promises will be the first of many titles for the social network. Read More »
We've been curious about ModNation Racers since it debuted at E3 last year -- we all love kart racers -- but we were unsure about how it would play, and how well the much-touted level creation system would work. Yesterday the devs stopped by our office for a long-awaited demo. We enjoyed a demo of the level creator -- which looks incredible, allowing players to create levels, characters, and cars with the same tools the developer used -- but what we really wanted was to try out the racing for ourselves. Several swear-inducing, four-player split-screen races later, here are our thoughts... Read More »
It's nudie magazine day at 2K Games. The developer announced today it has inked a deal with Playboy to integrate more than 50 of the magazine's vintage covers and centerfolds into its long-in-development mobster epic Mafia II. Don your smoking jacket and silk pajamas after the jump. Read More »
Electronic Arts billed DICE's Battlefield: Bad Company 2 as a worthy challenger to Activision's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. But after its first week on the shelves, it appears EA had no idea just how popular Bad Company 2 would become, as droves of gamers flocked to the game and wreaked havoc on EA's ill-prepared servers all weekend long.

My recent preview tried to emphasize how much the new Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands was a return to the Sands of Time days, but I think the new dev diary really gets the point across. If you're skeptical after the last PoP game, I highly encourage you to check out this film, because despite all the people who worked on the game telling you how awesome their game is, there's also a lot of footage that shows the new Prince in action. Check it out. See More »
Valve was a busy crowbar-wielding bee on Friday, officially announcing Portal 2 while simultaneously launching a cleverly coded, online viral marketing campaign that had fans of the franchise swooning. But the Bellevue, Washington developer was just getting started. A number of Mac/gaming websites also received images from Valve hinting that PC digital distribution system Steam will soon be available on Mac OS X. And today, Valve made it official, Steam is coming to Mac in April. Read More »
If you haven't noticed, there's a huge surge at the box office for stereoscopic 3D movies these days. Gone are the days of migraine-inducing blue-and-red 3D glasses. Instead, movie goers are enjoying the likes of James Cameron's Avatar in spectacular, realistic-looking 3D. Sony's prepping a free firmware update to enable 3D processing on the PlayStation 3, which according to PCWorld will be made available in the near future. Read More »
Warner Bros. Interactive and 5th Cell are making another Scribblenauts game. You remember Scribblenauts, right? It won our E3 Best in Show last year. So it's with some excitement that Maxwell and his word-based antics are coming back to the DS later this fall. The game will feature a whole host of new features including the use of adjectives to solve puzzles, reach goals, and snag those all-important Starites. Read More »
Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to... not being able to play Assassin's Creed II on the PC? It would seem as though Ubisoft's recently released PC version of the well-received console action adventure has fallen foul of the publishers' new "extreme" DRM server authentication. According to a massive thread on Ubi's European forums, the Uplay service has been overloaded and unable to authenticate new game sessions of AC2 since yesterday. Read More »
Citing recent defilement of his iconic text, the rotting, angry corpse of the deceased Italian poet created a hauntingly rhythmic couplet of a new kind in the form of a furious button-mashing death rattle from beyond the afterlife. Can you hear that, EA?
