Capcom is not wasting any time getting as much Mega Man 10 information out to the public as possible.  Last night they hosted a live video stream featuring the first video footage of game, and today they released the first official trailer.

It appears a virus has broken out causing all the robots to turn evil and begin taking over the world.  It’s up to Mega Man, with the help of Proto Man, to stop the out-of-control robots and save the day again.  The trailer shows off multiple levels from the game as well a quick glimpse at the new “Easy Mode”.

VGA Recap

VGAs 2009

For those, like myself, that found it far too painful to watch a “Hollywoodized” video game awards show, Gamer Limit is here to save you from the agony. Spike’s 2009 Video Game Awards had “world exclusive” trailers for the sequel to Batman: Arkham Asylum, UFC Undisputed 2010, Halo Reach, and much more. Oh, and some “awards” were won.

Hit the jump for a full recap. Read more… »

For wannabe attorneys that need a big screen for their courtroom antics, Ace Attorney Phoenix Wright is coming to WiiWare.  According to Nobuooo, “The first trilogy is due out in early 2010 in Japan.”

Check out the debut trailer for the game above, complete with a ridiculously over-the-top Japanese family enjoying the new Wii-exclusive motion controls.  According to the final frames, pricing appears to be set at 900 points.

I believe this is an update of the Nintendo DS games with new controls…?  (Sorry, my kanji translation is a little rusty.)  Whether it’s a remake or an original entry in the series, however, it’s sure to capture the fun and charm of its handheld brethren.

Time and time again I’ve harped on the fact that gamers are still waiting for a mesmerizing adaptation of a film spawning from a video game.  Wyck Godfrey, producer of the Gears of War film, took time out of his schedule to talk about his ideas.

While many still remain pessimistic that the film will butcher the video game, it is a bit comforting to see how the film will unfold.  For the video interview, please read on. Read more… »

1Are you disappointed with Modern Warfare 2′s multiplayer?  Don’t worry about it, the Germans have you covered. The modding team known as Blackmonkeys have spent the last year creating their own rendition of Modern Warfare, which has rightfully been named Galactic Warfare.

The mod is set in a galaxy far, far away on the planet Tatooine. The combat focuses on battles between the Rebel Alliance and the Empire, and believe me, this is one interstellar space war you don’t want to miss. So join me after the break for the teasers.  PEW PEW!

Contra Life 2
By: | November 25th, 2009

If there’s one thing I love, its creative mod-videos. Well, buckle up for one of the most popular level mods of all time (Little Big Planet especially): Contra’s first level.

In my opinion, 3D mods for 2D games put a whole new spin on retro titles: the creator has to interpret everything that isn’t viewable on a 2D plane, as well as figure out a way to incorporate the parent game’s mechanics as seamlessly as possible. Obviously Contra is perfectly suited for a parent game like Half Life 2.  If you enjoyed the video, the author, m0rtanius, also has Half-LifeVania and Super Half-Life Bros. for your viewing pleasure.

In the history of gaming, developing quality AI partners has always been a tremendous challenge.  While very few dev companies can pull off the miracle, many fail utterly.  And no matter how grand Valve’s latest title may seem, it suffers from incompetent AI as well.

Since Left 4 Dead 2 focuses on multiplayer, we can never get too upset toward dumb AI.  In fact, the only people to blame is yourself for playing single-player in the first place.  Nonetheless, this is quite hilarious and should be seen by everyone. Read more… »

Ode to Minions

Many of us have spent countless hours slaughtering the hordes of enemies in video games who get in our way.  We snuff them out of existence in a heart beat, yet all they were doing was performing a task someone else ordered them to do.  Those goombas and piranha plants are someone’s mother, father, son, daughter, brother, or maybe even sister, but we never stop to consider that.

Matthew Taranto, who writes the online comic Brawl in the Family, cares about all those dead enemies and their families.  To celebrate his 200th comic he’s actually written a song dedicated to them entitled “Ode to Minions.” It’s a heartfelt tune about all those hard working bad guys who are simply trying to work a 9-to-5 day job to put food on the table.

Come on inside to watch the “Ode to Minions” music video.  You’ll never look at bad guys the same way again. Read more… »

Ravensword screen

After the release of the CoD:WaW Zombies app yesterday for the ridiculous price of $9.99, you may wonder if it was the 3D graphics and the first-person gameplay driving up the price.

You’ll soon realize that’s not the case, as Ravensword: the Fallen King was just released today.  It’s an ambitious Elder Scrolls-style sandbox game, and it’s only $6.99.
