'Mega Man 10' And Sheep Man Coming To WiiWare
Posted 12/11/09 9:00 am ET by Brian Warmoth in News, Wii
Capcom took significant risks when it launched "Mega Man 9" last year for WiiWare, but the warm reception that one of the hardest Mega Man games of all time received provided enough incentive to go the same route for the newly announced "Mega Man 10." The downloadable release, which is not to be confused with "Mega Man X," sounds like it will come with plenty of standard offerings and few innovations.
Sony Motion Controller Prototype Was Called 'Gem'
Posted 12/10/09 6:00 pm ET by Brian Warmoth in News, PS3
EA's CEO John Riccitiello may have spoken prematurely at UBS 37th Annual Global Media Conference in New York Wednesday when he proclaimed that "Natal and Gem, these are likely to bring new consumers into the marketplace." Though Microsoft has publicly attached the name Project Natal to its forthcoming motion control system, Sony has been somewhat cagier. In response to the reveal, however, the company has revealed the Gem may not be the final name given to its magic wand.
UPDATE: Next 'Borderlands' DLC Encourages 6-Hour Marathon Sessions
Posted 12/10/09 4:23 pm ET by Russ Frushtick in Interviews, PC, PS3, Xbox 360
Just completed a lightning round phone interview with Gearbox regarding the next DLC pack of "Borderlands," entitled "Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot." The initial press release mentioned a focus on arena-based play, and, based on the few arena quests that were in the original release, I didn't think that sounded tremendously interesting. Gearbox's Jon Hemingway, the designer on the next DLC pack, was happy to clarify just what we can expect.
'Mass Effect 2' Casts Martin Sheen, Seth Green And Tricia Helfer
Posted 12/10/09 2:00 pm ET by Brian Warmoth in News, PC, Xbox 360
Bioware may want "Mass Effect 2" to feel like "The Empire Strikes Back," but the game's casting choices pull from "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and "Battlestar Galactica." Former Klingon Michael Dorn and "BSG" stars Michael Hogan and Tricia Helfer will join big-name actors Martin Sheen and Seth Green in the sequel, rounding off an impressive lineup.
Gamestop Working With, Uh, Payless Shoes?
Posted 12/10/09 1:42 pm ET by Locke Webster in News, Uncategorized
We've seen our fair share of corporate tag teams -- the local Taco Bell/KFC is a standout example -- but there's something amok in your local Payless Shoe Source that you may not be privy to. Apparently Gamestop has somehow affiliated themselves with the discount shoe giant, and is actively trying to pursue the shoe shopper with a spare cache of video games as seen in this receipt after the jump.
'Borderlands' Second DLC Pack Officially Revealed
Posted 12/10/09 1:30 pm ET by Russ Frushtick in News, PC, PS3, Xbox 360
After rumors, speculation and an accidentally broken embargo by a site that shall not be named, the second DLC content pack for "Borderlands" has been revealed by 2K Games today. Titled "Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot," the next pack has takes previous Mad Max similarities and cranks them to 11.
'Pac-Man Championship Edition' Waga-Wagas Onto iPhone
Posted 12/10/09 11:03 am ET by Russ Frushtick in News, iPhone / iPad
One of the best revamps of a franchise was "Pac-Man Championship Edition" on XBLA. The release managed to revive interest in a property that had long been relegated to mere nostalgia enjoyment, revamping the graphics and gameplay for the 21st century. And now it's on iPhone.
"Halo 3: ODST" managed to become a fairly successful extension of "Halo 3," despite not starring Master Chief. In addition to the game's disc read error complaints, though, it caught some flack from critics for its price point and level design in some places. Bungie took that feedback on the chin, though, and explained what they would differently if given a second chance.

PS3 Trophies has stumbled upon what appears to be the unlockable trophy list for the next "Borderlands" DLC pack. Looking at the list, it seems like the next pack will be arena-centric. Here's the rundown:
Nintendo: 'GTA: Chinatown Wars' Frustrating Sales Due To Marketing (Or Lack Thereof)
Posted 12/9/09 3:01 pm ET by Russ Frushtick in 3DS / DS, Interviews, Video
So it's been 8 months since "Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars" released on the Nintendo DS, and, despite critical acclaim, the sales still haven't picked up. I spoke with Cammie Dunaway, the EVP of sales and marketing for Nintendo of America, about why she thought the game didn't come close to the numbers you'd expect from a "GTA" title. For her it's a simple case of marketing, and that not enough long-term marketing support was placed on the title. You can check out the clip from the interview above.
