Anyone who listened to last week's Mass Effect 2 filled podcast knows how much one of my podcast cohorts, Arsen Nazaryan, loves scanning and gathering minerals in the game. This mundane activity in Mass Effect 2 normally makes me feel a need to put the TV tuner card in my PC to good use, but YouTube user Kabuto the Python took it as inspiration for a song. A pretty good one at that. Definitely wor... more.

Fable 2's co-op was very disappointing to me. The few times I did actually play the mode introduced in this sequel just proved to be a waste of time for the player who was entering the other's world since you couldn't join with your custom made character nor could you bring back any experience. Peter Molyneux, head of Lionhead Studios, intends to change this in Fable 3. On last week's 4 Guys... more.

After the surprising success of the 1 vs. 100 game show experiment, Aaron Greenburg  over at Microsoft has mentioned that similar types of programs are indeed being thought of throughout the year.  With such a large install base (23 million people), it wasn't hard for them to convince advertisers to come on board.

As you'll hear from our most recent podcast (where Jon, Matthew, and I vehemently show our support for the game), there's a ton of excitement over Mass Effect 2. Why is that?

As of lately there has been a slew of really well made fan film based on video games. Like in a previous post, I'm not one to put them up unless they are exceptional. So here's another fan film that I though was great.... more.

In an interview with Gamasutra, Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg made the prediction that the Xbox 360 exclusive Halo: Reach is sure to be 2010's biggest game of the year. When titles like the Playstation 3's Gran Turismo 5, God of War III and MAG were brought up, he was quite dismissive. Wait, isn't 2010 the year Final Fantasy XIII and Starcraft 2 come out as well? I know Halo's a pretty popular fr... more.

In 2010 an all-new Medal of Honor game will be introduced to the already popular franchise, but this time will take place in Afghanistan. The game will introduce the Tier 1 Operator "a relatively unknown entity directly under the National Command Authority who takes on missions no one else can handle."
