Today 2kSports release the cover art for NBA 2k11 featuring Michael Jordan on the cover. Gotta say it looks awesome and I can't wait to pick this up. They were smart, all of the MJ collectors will pick this up without even owning a console....

I'm not a purchaser of used games, but, all the same I don't fault people for choosing to buy games used. If you buy 10 used games, you'll essentially get 1 of those copies free simply from the $50 you saved on those 10 games. Most people don't pay $250 for games though. Recently EA has...

Quit posting everything in console game discussions. Games which are available on PC also count as PC games and should be posted in this section.

I used the "when I was a kid" story today as Max finished playing Lego Indiana Jones. I pulled up the video below and told him that was all we had at his age. Even at 4 he was stunned by the boredom. :D LPkUvfL8T1I

Hypersonic Football League Positions and Rosters There are 10 players per team on the field on every play. Each team roster has 10 players + 4 benchriders, if desired. There won’t be any injuries, but benchriders will practice, build attributes and replace one of the ten depending on...

Gamestop is offering Buy One Get One Free of equal or lesser value on their used games. Offer only available online. Use the code UBOGO at checkout. Good luck getting it to work. I had a bunch of used games in my cart for the Wii, doesn't appear to work with many titles (ie. any titles worth...

I've had about a week now of work at my new rotation with, uh, no internet connection and therefore very little work. All I have is excel and paint basically. :D So I got pretty far into creating two games that can be played via the board... I need six people who want in and can spend about a...

The basic idea of this thread is to have reviews of games which are based on one concept, one theme, but otherwise, games that are too small to be compared to say a game like Heavy Rain, Metal Gear Solid, etc. There's nothing wrong with the games, they're absolutely great, but there's just not...

Something about this has me scared... Has anyone else ever seen this error?

For some time over the last 15 years the Software industry has instituted bigger and more restricting methods of protecting their game, all in the name of retaining sales figures. Of course, as we all know, more people buy the games than download/pirate them, thus rendering much of the argument in...

This is the Speed Demos Archive. These guys don't just beat games, they beat them fast. Watching these often makes me say "How the hell?" or makes me cringe at watching how they do things. The only issue I might take is with "TAS" (Tool Assisted) runs, because I feel that the moment you start...

That's okay, Steam, I didn't want to play Football Manager an hour ago anyway. :grumble: :stupidupdates:

Just an idea for a top 5 (or top 10 if you can't settle on 5) games you'd like to see made. A list of the games is all that's needed but if you want to provide descriptions that's good too. My top 6: 6. The Great Old Ones (MMO or single player RPG) The basics behind thi sgame idea is to...

A lot of the times when we say the word "horror" in reference to video games, you might think of using a chainsaw on the locust foot soldiers, cutting limbs off of necromorphs, and shooting mutants in the latest resident evil. But when it comes down to it, they're pretty much a far cry from...

Trailer I have to say, from what I'm seeing, it does look like it's going to be a really good game. Kind of looks like Uncharted only without the narrative of Nathan Drake looking for artifacts and treasure. For this kind of insanity, I'd actually consider getting this game.

It's pretty obvious that in this day and age, developers are trying to start a market share of their gaming franchises via free handouts and other offers. The following is a list of deals for various outlets that are free. I'm not gonna talk about indie games or demos, but instead games that are...

Nice article on this guy's battle with Gaming Addiction. http://kotaku.com/5384643/i-kept-playing--the-costs-of-my-gaming-addiction

In the past I've posted videos, comments, and even some quotes about how I feel about casual gamers. It's pretty obvious I've always had a problem with them on some depth. I also recognize this rant will have all of 0.00% impact on the game industry's continued path, but still... I was not...

As the name implies, place ideas that you have always wanted to see put into a game engine. New and innovative, old and no longer used, whatever the case it's all good. Ideas yet to be done: -Dynamic water (waves, ripples, etc) -Photon mapping Ideas that have been done but rarely:...

If you didn't know, E3 is here. You can watch live streams of the event over at e3expo, so make sure to go take a look. Microsoft was yesterday, today is Sony and Ubisoft, tomorrow is Nintendo.

Rage is an upcoming game by id Software, which like Fuel is going to be a post-apocalyptic racing game, but unlike Fuel is also going to be a first-person shooter. The game has been described as a "Mad Max" style game which takes inspiration from Motorstorm and games like it. Rage is built upon...

Source page: Here So recently I had wanted to begin a new Star Wars-based project. And so part of the project had me considering that, I can't do the game in units of measurement equal to those of Earth, because it's Star Wars. This is possibly one of the most well-researched papers on the...

It seems like everything is all about making everything real-time now. What would be nice is to see some more turn-based games, more specifically turn-based strategy and maybe turn-based role playing. Like if we could get the flexibility of Neverwinter Nights combined with the order of Final...

So, uh, Freak, do you know how to use in-game messaging on the PS3?

2N1TJP1cxmo A first-person action/adventure game, which is arguably one of the most realistic looking simulations yet. Look at the way that goes, you're jumping from rooftop to rooftop, climbing buildings in real-time. Game will be for PC, Xbox 360, and Playstation 3. If they had named...
