More more more! Sequels need more! But not just more of what you already liked, NEW things! New things that are DIFFERENT and look good on the back of the box! Or maybe they don’t.

How do we know it's coming to PS3? BECAUSE IT ALWAYS HAS! And we think we know when... 

Splinter Cell: CONVICTION, StarCraft CORRUPTION, Halo 2 CREMATION, and several other C-words make up this week’s podcast...

If you haven’t figured it out by now, Battlefield Bad Company 2 isn’t designed for solo Rambos to dominated groups of players. Those that work for the team also work for themselves. Follow our 10 easy steps to de-program those “other shooter” behaviors and march amongst your comrades to victory!

We love horses. But we’re not sure if we love them enough to pay $25 so our WoW Priest can have a new in-game mount to ride. Yesterday, two new in-game pets for World of Warcraft were recently added to Blizzard’s online Pet Store. Currently, the most popular item of the two seems to be the Celestial Steed. According to the official product description, the Celestial Steed lets you “travel in style astride wings of pure elemental stardust” and allows players to travel at “310% speed.” In case you don’t play WoW, this means that this is a very fast mount.

It didn’t take long before wow.com starting diving into the numbers. Based on the price and the amount of players queued up to download the digital pet, the site estimated that Blizzard raked in $2 million just four hours after the Celestial Steed went on sale. The popularity and profitability of Blizzard’s recent sale has once again sparked the debate over DLC, with pet-loving collectors on one side and the anti-DLC crowd on the other…

Parents like to claim that videogames are destroying our nation's youth, but that doesn't stop them using the Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3 as surrogate babysitters so they can continue having unprotected sex and squirting out more little toads that they won't look after properly.

Since YouTube enabled video uploaders to add annotations to their clips, we’ve been seeing more and more great fan-made “video” videogames surface on the site.

The great thing about iPhone is that it's been reviving old genres in new and exciting ways. Star Cannon from Jagex is a straight-up top-down shooter, controlled with a single finger.

The craft follows your finger as you drag it around the screen, firing automatically as long as you're touching its surface. There are three upgradeable weapons types, a slow-motion bonus mode and massive bombs to be collected and fired.

Every single movie made since 1981 has had a videogame tie in. It’s in the contract studio heads make with Satan when they’re hired: (quoting) “Thou must marketize every product unto its synergistic utmost or be pierced through thine hearte by a thousand shards of glass ad eterneum.” But a few among us know that the history of cinema goes back even further than that of the home gaming console, back even to the days before electricity. As far back as the 1800s, Neolithic man was projecting crude images onto cave walls using nothing more than...

Sometimes being a horse who loves videogames has its advantages. Because I’ve been an avid gamer all my life, I’ve been able to form many treasured friendships with non-horse geeks. My horse heart may be three times as large as the average human’s, but it feels joy and pain just the same. Like so many JRPG fans, I too remember tearing up when Aerith died – and I hate shopping at GameStop just as much as the next guy. Still, as a proud member of the Equidae family, I am reminded on a daily basis that there are some things I’ll never understand about the human species, which brings us to today’s game music of the day and the topic at hand.
