'Just Cause 2' Review - What 'Bionic Commando' Should Have Been
Posted 3/23/10 12:00 pm ET by Jason Cipriano in PC, PS3, Reviews, Xbox 360
Four years ago Eidos Interactive released a forgettable open-world, action game set on an island called "Just Cause." The game's hook was actually a hook; the main character, Rico Rodriguez, had a grappling hook and a never-ending supply of parachutes that helped you explore the tropical island of San Esperito. "Just Cause" returns with a sequel that doesn't suffer from the sophomore slump, and is actually a much more competent and enjoyable title than the original.

Posted 3/23/10 10:47 am ET by Russ Frushtick in 3DS / DS, News
As you probably already know, the Nintendo 3DS has been announced. What you may not know is that Nintendo 3DS is actually a temp name for the device and it may end up being called something entirely different.
Here's the official announcement from Nintendo:
Next 'Zelda' Game Could Use Wii Vitality Sensor
Posted 3/22/10 6:30 pm ET by Brian Warmoth in News, Wii
The use of Wii MotionPlus controls in Nintendo's new Zelda title won't surprise anyone, but the company's mysterious new Vitality Sensor could be a part of the picture as well. Nintendo hasn't gone on the record to say exactly what their mystery peripheral will do yet, but one of their biggest public faces teased the idea that it could be a part of their 2010 plans.
"Fable 3" will save a lot of Project Natal and co-op mode details for E3, but Lionhead Studios seems to be comfortable talking about their final deadline for the game. Scheduled for release by the end of 2010, "Fable 3" will be getting tweaked right up until the end with a final cutoff date for development set for the Thanksgiving holiday, even if its shipping date hasn't been set in stone just yet.
David Cage Rationalizes 'Heavy Rain' Sex Scene
Posted 3/22/10 4:42 pm ET by Russ Frushtick in Interviews, PS3, Video
If you're looking to avoid spoilers about "Heavy Rain," you may want to stop reading right here. For everyone else, you may recall that I had some issues with the game, which I laid out in my review. The story was often problematic, featuring characters that acted seemingly without reason or sense, and I felt that one scene in particular exemplified this better than most: The sex scene.
"Killzone 2" turned a a year old in February, and Sony has stayed officially quiet on a potential sequel -- at least until now. "Killzone 3" may not be scheduled to appear at any shows this summer, but it will exist, and Sony's confirmation comes on video from about as high up as it gets along with a promise that we'll all see it -- whether Guerrilla Games makes it next year or in 2014.

Posted 3/22/10 2:30 pm ET by Russ Frushtick in 3DS / DS, Stuff That Came
Next week will see the release of the Nintendo DSi XL, a device with the same functionality as the DSi but with screens that are 93% bigger. The shot above is a comparison of the two.
The increased size was clearly on the minds of Nintendo when they sent along the DSi XL with one of the largest sandwiches I've ever seen.
50th Anniversary Of Lasers! Our Favorite Lasers In Gaming
Posted 3/22/10 1:30 pm ET by John Constantine in Features
You have used them to fell your enemies, destroy sinister strongholds, and solve innumerable environmental puzzles. You have been baffled by their physically impossible visibility to the naked eye. You have been impressed by their versatility, at the sheer variety of things they disintegrate. They have consistently distinguished themselves from our guns, the bullets, the lightning shooters, and the gravity manipulators that have been our weapons of choice for years and years.
I speak, of course, of the lasers. Human beings have been using Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER. Get it?) in the name of science, security, pointing at stuff and awesomeness for fifty years (the patent was created on March 22nd, 1960), but we gamers have been using these potent beams of coherent light for a variety of destructive purposes for ages. Across time and space, in unknowable pasts and far-flung futures, we have taken up our lasers and smoked fools into oblivion. Celebrate a half a century of functional laser devices with these, the five sweetest lasers in gaming history.
