[Sometimes you don't have $60 to drop on the latest big-budget AAA game.  Luckily, Gamer Limit is here to show you the best of the wide world of freeware.  Remember: you don't always get what you pay for.  Sometimes you get much, much more.]

The Experimental Gameplay Project brings together all the indie dudes in the house, gives them a topic, and says, “Go.  Make a game.”  March’s topic: “10 seconds.”  So what did Paolo Pedericini do?  He condensed the holy gospel into ten seconds with Run, Jesus Run! a.k.a. The 10 Second Gospel.

Blasphemy?  Pssh.  When the instructions are “Move with arrow keys.  Space: Do Jesus Things,” you know you’re about to witness… something.  And something it is.

Do I really need to say more than that? Not only does it look like it breaks up the entire pacing of the game, but I cringe every time the player attempts to jump with his minecart, and falls short due to some invisible wall.

Why SEGA felt the need to lift Loco Rocco, and put Sonic into yet another zany overly complicated contraption, I have no idea. Are you still going to pick this one up despite the above video? Read more… »

Remember Punch-Out!!, the Wii-exclusive, old-school update that released last June?  Imagine that game, but you play as a gladiator instead of a boxer, and you can’t duck, but you can jump.  Then stick it on WiiWare, add a few RPG elements, and only charge $10 for it.  Taa-daa!  You’ve got Rage of the Gladiator.

That’s pretty much my review in a nutshell, although, if you never played the obvious source material, I’ll delve into it for you.

Since it seems that every game and their grandmothers have midnight release bonanzas these days, I thought it best to share with you a few tips. You might laugh and say that none of these things are particularly vital to getting that prime midnight release real estate, but you’ll still print out 87 copies of this web page, just in case.

Head inside to learn some nifty tips for a midnight launch! Read more… »

Plenty has happened in the gaming world since last we met, including God of War III giving boys another chance to quicktime their way to sexual manhood while screaming “BEWBS!” at their television screens.

Kratos has finally finished his happy funtimes decapitating diseased Olympians (don’t tell me you didn’t do the same), and I must say that GoW3 is right up there alongside Mass Effect 2 for best game of 2010 so far.

Today a few details hit the Web about Activision’s new Spider-Man title that is set to arrive during “back half of the year.” Dubbed Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, the new title is slated to arrive on the Xbox 360 and Ps3 sometime in September of this year.

The web-slinging brawler is being developed by Beenox (Bee Movie, Monsters vs. Aliens). The main draw of this new Spider-Man iteration is that Spidey travels to alternate dimensions, represented by different art styles. So far only two art styles have been shown: “Noir” and the classic “Amazing.” Read more… »

Join Chase Cook, Paul Clark, Shawn Evans and myself as we stroll through the dining halls of gaming culture in search of sweeter sustenance. Despite our pastry related diversions this week, we manage to dissect our thoughts on Poke’mon, God of War 3, Final Fantasy XIII and Bad Company 2.

Later in the show we share our thoughts on the Nintendo DS’ proposed successor, the so-called “3DS”. Hit the jump to have a listen and leave us a comment.

If you are a huge Metroid fan like I am, you’ve probably been waiting impatiently for Nintendo to release some new gameplay footage of the latest installment in the series: Metroid: Other M.  Well wait no longer, because a brand new trailer has just been released which includes over two minutes of never before seen footage from the game.

I will be the first to admit that I have my doubts about the new direction Team Ninja is taking the franchise.  However, after watching this incredible video, I think I’m willing to hold off my criticisms until the final product arrives in my hand.  To check out the trailer, and get your Metroid fix, hit the jump.

If you walked into your local store, you’d he hard pressed to find HDMI cables on the cheap. To me, the gut-wrenching feeling of having to get an HDMI cable for my new PS3 was like realizing I had to buy a memory stick for my PSP. Your best defense against $50+ cables is to order them online, but even then you can’t be sure that particular model would fully support 1080p, be fully compatible with your system, or worse, if that particular merchant is a scam.

Thanks to a tip, we were able to get into contact with a new merchant, simply named PS3HDMI, and test a six foot cable. We’re proud to say that there were absolutely no problems, and the cable works great! Sometimes, it’s just nice to know there’s a legitimate, cheaper alternative to your local big box store.

Who says you need to be a million-seller (or even good) to justify a sequel?  Not Nintendo, that’s who.  They just officially announced The Conduit 2, sequel to the much-maligned Wii-exclusive FPS released last year.

Luckily, it looks like they’re trying to fix all the problems from the first (and boy were there a lot).  Hit the jump for details.

To be honest, I really haven’t the slightest idea what you are meant to do in 4FOURTHS. From the trailer, it looks like a chaotic mess of weirdness. Yet it somehow takes the ‘best trailer I’ve seen in a long time‘ award.

See for yourself after the jump.

Over the weekend word got out that the upcoming DLC for Left 4 Dead 2, dubbed ‘The Passing,’ will not make its original release date of “late March.”

While this is disappointing news, gamers will be pleased to know that the DLC will only cost 560 Microsoft Points ($7) on the Xbox 360. Not a bad price considering the content the expansion adds: a golf club for melee, an M60 machine gun, multiple new game modes, a new ‘Fallen Survivor’ special infected and a ‘Witch Bride.’ Read more… »
