Manhunt 2 Banned in the UK

VoodooExtreme reports that the BBFC has banned the sale of Manhunt 2 in the UK… the last time this happened was in 1997 when Carmageddon was banned (then later overturned). VE asks if Rockstar has gotten ahead of themselves with the whole “violence is awesome” card, and I have to agree. There are all sorts of [...]

Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles Co-Op?

  Kotaku reports that there are rumors the new RE: UC may include co-op. Kotaku says “nay” to the rumor of the co-op, and I would normally agree except the game has already been shown to be a “rails” game… meaning you don’t control movement. So I see no reason you couldn’t have a co-op experience with [...]

The GameSpot crew got some time to play the new Resident Evil on the Wii, and what they found out is that it’s a “on rails” (meaning you don’t control movement, like from the old Sega arcade-shooter games and you progress by killing baddies but the camera will swing you towards the action and make [...]

Earlier this week Circuit City ran a circular with a garuntee on it that if Super Paper Mario wasn’t in stock and available to them by 2:30pm on release date when they came to pick it up, they would get a $20 gift card. That is how the ad was worded. Little did anyone know, down [...]

Wii: Godfather, the Bitchslap Edition

Dang. Looks like they are reworking Godfather for the Wii, where the remotes will fully map to your hands so you can reload a revolver by flipping it to the side, backhand someone in the face by “slapping” your wiimote in the air, choking, punching, elbowing in the face, etc.

Oh my god I think my dreams just came true… it seems a company called Nibris is working on an intense horror game, called Sadness, that is for the 21-and-older crowd with “strong nerves and no weak heart” and is working it up to be a real shocker type of game for the Wii by [...]
