Bungie has officially set the Halo Reach hype machine in motion with the first footage of the game being revealed during today's Spike Video Game Awards. Bungie have said the trailer was made using the actual Reach game engine, which is a great look since the footage shown in the trailer looked like a step up from the graphics seen in Halo 3 & ...

UFC Undisputed made a huge impact this year, it was an outstanding UFC title given the fact that there had not been a game out for years. Well here we have the next game, and yes it has the highly demanded Kimbo Slice. Kimbo himself introduced the trailer at the VGA's, and I am sure that he is currently the UFC's MVP. His appearance in the game is ...

I was always a huge fan of the True Crime series. It's all the fun you'd expect from a sandbox game, only from a cop's perspective instead of a criminal. In my opinion both True Crime game's were slept on, way better than what people gave them credit for. With that being said, it's great to see they're giving it another go in this generation of con...

Spike promised to reveal games that know one knew about and this reveal certainly delivered on that. Less than a year after the first Batman game Rocksteady have just announced they are working on a sequel. Sure it sounds a little early to announce the game but remember this is only a trailer telling you the game is in production there is no mentio...

With the 2009 Spike Video Game Awards in the books, we decided to post the award winners in each of their respective categories. Overall the show was disappointing, but it was still good to see some games get the praise they deserve. Feel free to post your comments below on whether or not you agree with their choices. Best Voice in a Video Game J...

If you thought Lupe's song "Solar Midnight" for the Twilight: New Moon soundtrack was a surprise in itself, then prepared to be floored. Mr. Lupe Fiasco is releasing a music video along with it. I'm pretty eclectic as far as music goes so I thought the song was pretty dope. It is better than most MCs' attempts at making a rock song at the very leas...

The games industry in the UK has suffered a huge upset, as it has been declined tax relief even despite the fact that it has contributed more money to the UK economy than the government aided move industry. This upset is bound to lead to a rapid decline in the industry, which is one hell of a disappointment. The UK gaming industry has never rea...

I'm writing this for my people who don't quite get the sales chart jargon thrown around the game industry. I had a discussion on game sales with a group of friends who had no idea what NPD numbers were, so I knew immediately there were a few of you who visited this site who kind of got lost in the sauce every time The Koalition posted them. Every m...

For the 10th installment of the Tony Hawk series, Activision and Tony Hawk decided to take a new approach at the game. Drop the controller and create a skateboard peripheral. With a whole new way to play, Tony Hawk and Activison surely thought this would re-inject some excitement to the franchise. Unfortunately for them, critics thought differently...

Buy 1 get 1 50% off on all video games at Toys 'R' Us (over 800 listed). Sounds like a good deal is going down for the holiday rush. They are also offering free shipping on pre orders made from the Toys 'R' Us game site. And also 20% off on all gaming storage accessories. I think they failed on the pre order offer but the 50% has peaked my interest...
