Majesco Games has announced it is to publish the videogame version of Aeon Flux, the sci-fi film starring Oscar starlet and all-round beauty Charlize Theron that is itself based on the quirky Liquid Television cartoon of the same name.
While the original cartoon (that aired on the Liquid Television MTV line-up alongside Beavis & Butthead) featured a busty, scantily clad, scarily gun-happy monster of a woman, the film - and as such the game - will feature a much subtler character, better
Freedom of speech? Bah! Who wants that? Games are clearly rotting humanity’s collective eternal soul and must be banned accordingly. The following collection of violent, titillating titles have offended censors all over the world. Some have been beaten to death by the banning bat for their gory deaths, others for displaying acts of girl-on-girl action, while one was even banned for having a two-headed cow. Really, just what is this
It's no secret that the US Army uses videogames as part of its training process. And why wouldn't they? Games are becoming more realistic and, in terms of practicality, offer a more time-efficient way of teaching tactical thought and rudimentary practice than the traditional process of getting booted up for walks in the woods.
Along with THQ's Full Spectrum Warrior, America's Army Rise of a Soldier has a more complex and less mainstream counterpart lurking within the realms of the US Army's
In the old days, US Army recruitment meant a patriotic poster of a top-hatted man with an accusingly pointing finger.
Now, in the digital age, something a little more subtle is required. Something is needed to teach the young of the US why mottled brown with splashes of red really is this season's new look.
Unlike , which was designed to train already signed-up soldiers, America's Army was aimed at enticing the amateur into trying their hand at a little realtime fighting.

Shenmue creator Yu Suzuki told Gamasutra the current incarnation of the Shenmue series, a microtransaction-based social game called Shenmue Gai (sometimes called Shenmue City, but Suzuki claims to be partial to the equally valid translation Shenmue Town) is more than likely heading to smartphones.
An overwhelming majority of gamers are male, so it makes perfect sense for every marketing team in the world to target their software at young guys. And what do all men ages 18 to one zillion love? Girls, gore and big loud machines. If they could make a game about a firefighting bikini squad that hunts down zombies in a decked-out sex/fire truck, world peace would be declared. But until that day, we have to settle with regular old T & A.
Developers are well aware of this, so occasionally
Featuring the vocal talents of David "Mulder" Duchovny and Marilyn "what a strange looking woman" Manson, and boasting the monster-creating talents of Stan Winston Studios, the time and budget is really starting to pay off for Area 51, which is shaping up to be one of the best shooting games this year.
Which is why we're bringing you a further six actual in-game shots (not the HUD-free, 'posed' images normally sent out), showing just how well this game is coming along.

Beowulf
Beowulf: The Film will be out in November, and will be sharing a publicity budget with a Game of the same name. The film is produced by Robert Zemeckis (this isnt the last Zemeckis reference in this weeks Trailer Trash - youve been warned), and features an all star cast including Angelina Jolie, John Malkovitch, Anthony Hopkins, Crispin Glover, and others. This trailer for the game, however, stars a sword falling into a puddle over and over while some repetitive-looking
After being blown away by DeviantArt user BossLogic’s Street Fighter IV characters remixed to look like they just stepped out of TRON, we took it upon ourselves to do our own. Seriously, EVERY game should have a TRON filter! Picture-Proof inside...
John McAllister started a game of Asteroids on Saturday. He finished playing yesterday with a score of 41,338,740, just eclipsing Scott Safran's 1982 record of 41,336,440. McAllister just beat the longest-standing record in videogame history...
