'Prince Of Persia' Movie Trailer Gets LEGO Treatment
Posted 4/26/10 11:46 am ET by Russ Frushtick in Exclusives, Video
It's too early to say whether the forthcoming "Prince of Persia" movie will be another hide-your-head-in-shame video game movie or an actually enjoyable romp. At the very least, the film's trailers seem to imply that it'll remain true to the series, complete with wall-running, magic daggers and sand. Lots of sand.

Posted 4/26/10 11:34 am ET by Brian Warmoth in News, PC
New title development activity on the "Oddworld" front may be about as silent as the series' protagonist Abe right now, but anyone who really wants a Mudokon fix should be able to relive some past adventures on Steam by the end of the year. Previously, there had been rumblings that a new game might be in the works, but if there is, the series' creator Lorne Lanning says it's not something that's going to show up in the near future.

'Match Defense: Toy Soldiers' Starts War On Facebook
Posted 4/26/10 10:36 am ET by Nick Akerman in News, PC
Based on the recently released "Toy Soldiers" Xbox Live Arcade game, "Match Defense: Toy Soldiers" has landed on the hallowed shores of Facebook, ready to invade millions of casual gamers' free time across the globe.
The Xbox Live release has been hailed as one of the best tower defense games available in recent years, but may have put many off due to its emphasis on strategy and forward-thinking. Players were tasked with placing and taking control of an army's most powerful weaponry, aiming to eliminate the incoming threat before it overran their base. It certainly was difficult, and rewarded those who put the time in, so this Facebook release will be a pleasure to those who prefer things a little more casual.

Posted 4/23/10 5:01 pm ET by Brian Warmoth in News, PS3, Xbox 360

The studio posted an ad back in February announcing their search for a new lead artist, the report states. So you better believe Rocksteady is going to be hard at work with Batman for now while WB's new Montreal offices get set to tackle other DC Comics properties.
'Super Street Fighter 4' Character Guide - Adon
Posted 4/23/10 5:00 pm ET by Brad Nicholson in PS3, Previews, Xbox 360
In another life perhaps Adon would have been a poet who focused his beautiful words on large cats and sharp stabby things. Lucky for us this former "Street Fighter Alpha 3" combatant and new entrant in "Super Street Fighter 4" decided to hone his calves instead of sharpen his quill. We wouldn't have much to break down otherwise.
