The Epic Games official forums have been attacked recently with disturbing, sad, and true news that the game cannot run, with a message prompting the player to reinstall the game.As of January 28th, the game's digital certificate has expired, so anyone playing close to the midnight of the 27th then your computer's internal clock clicking over to the 28th immediately exited out. Epic has "been notified of the issue and are working with Microsoft...

Remember what happened on the same day last year? Yeah, it happened again, except this time, without reas...

Awesome news for you Call of Duty: World at War online players out there, it's double EXP weekend throughout January 30th-which is TODAY!-to February 1st!

A game where you bounce on all the platforms and reach the finish with the most points possible. Sound like something that came out 27 years ago? Well, it's very damn similar. Artoon is like a revised version of Q*Bert, with slight twists. You are small bouncing ball and you must change the color of most of the platforms to finish.Let's start out with the features that make this game different. There are a multitude of different levels...

Bungie.net has released a(read: ONE) hi-res screenshot of the Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack map of Sandbox. From what sources our leading us to believe is that it seems that, if you look closely, every single object in the map is movable. Information leaked from that official Australian Xbox blog would also lead us to believe that the map pack will cost 800 Microsoft points and will be released on March 3rd. The blog also has leaked information...

Gridplane, a completely unknown design studio until now, recently released presumed mock-ups of previous designs of the NXE. All I can say is...it's really open. It's like a virtual plain in the 360.Thanks, [Xbox] Joystiq.NXE...

Excited for the new Friday the 13th movie? Me neither, BUT! There's a new reason to get excited for the little promotional campaign Epic and Microsoft has been using to entice some new Gears 2 players.

The two met each other while playing Halo 2. They are both gamers. They want to marry each other. The bride-yes, that's right. The BRIDE-comes up with the great idea of making the wedding Halo themed; her avatar was embroidered into her wedding dress, favors that look like plasma grenades contained in a little box that says,"Happily stuck together",organized a violin quartet to play "Unforgotten", the music that plays in the Halo 3 main...

That's right! Until today, Golden Lancers were only available by purchasing the limited edition copy of Gears of War 2.

Download it now so you don't have to think about whether or not it will stay that way.Click here to download the Golden Lancer onto your Xbox.P.S. If you are wondering about these...

The long awaited Resident Evil 5 demo has finally come out on Xbox Live Marketplace! Sadly, the PS3 will not be getting this demo for a while. The demo features 3 levels on two stages(if they are as long as RE4's chapters, that should equal to about 2 hours of gameplay, but it doesn't.); Assembly Place and Shanty Town(which was featured in E3 08', as shown in the video below), and allows for 2 PLAYER CO-OP with AI, local, or OVER XBOX LIVE. You can tell by the caps lock that it is very exciting news(although I already played...

The F.E.A.R. 2 Demo is available on both the PS3 and Xbox 360. No noticeable differences, really. Here are the impressions.The demo opens up what seems to be the opening cut-scene for the game which pretty much gives you a small hint as to the back-story of the original F.E.A.R.. The demo then puts you into the perspective of Michael Becket who is supposed to arrest president of Armacham Genevieve Aristide. The start of the demo takes place...

In a 4-freakin'-page interview with Gamasutra, Braid developer Jonathan Blow has awnsered questions about his feelings for the future. But one part of the interview shows that he has been working on an RPG.....and other things as well.[Gamasutra] So aside from the other versions of Braid, presumably you're working on another game?JB: I am. I don't really want to give much detail about it, though. And the reason is that I've had three or...

NOTE: This catch-up is full of SPOILER!s. and takes into account that you already know everybody and everything's names.The game starts out with a cutscene that shows Alma presumably taking control of Paxton Fettel and a group of telepathically controlled cloned supersoldiers. He then procedes to kill every single person in Armacham Technology Corp. (ATC) Headquarters. You then proceed to hear a phone call between ATC president Aristide...

Remember F.E.A.R.? Remember Alma, that creepy-@$$ B#%&$*? Well, get excited! You finally get to play a little part of all the crazy $hi-|- ALL over again in the new the sequel F.E.A.R. 2! Guess what? She's back!And from friends, I heard that it's has some creepy @$$ $hi-|-. Can't wait to play it and (maybe) post some impressions lat...

The Xbox Live community games seems to be a very largely ignored part of the new Xbox dashboard update. This game seems to show how creative these games could possibly be. Groov is a new addition to the Xbox Community Games that has a very interesting concept. As quoted from the description of the game given, "Every action in Groov has a musical interaction", this game integrates the omni-directional shooter features very similar to games...

I'm STILL! Trying to get Mile High Club on Veteran....with an astonishing disappointment. I reach the end of the level, I reach the ONE SHOT TO RULE THEM ALL!!!!...and I accidentally cap the VIP in the face.A minute of grieving, 15 more minutes of trying, then I stop.In PS3 Trophy related news, I got my first two gold trophies; Packrat (Find all 30 bags, EASY!), and Pro Runner (Beat the Game on Hard...I'd say it's Easy to Medium, a few...

Remember Halo? Specifically Halo 3? Good times, right? We all understand that the game has already lost it's sparkle, and games that have come out more recently have been shining like the sun. What can give old games their sparkle back? With a little bit of integration....Ladies and Gents, I present to you, V.A.T.S.(Vault-Tec Automated Targeting System), in Halo...

and I came with the conclusion that this is the only good one because it's pretty close to clean while allowing for some features. I'm going to look at other website servers and see if I can get some better layou...

I AM SO HONORED RIGHT NOW!CANT WAIT TO LISTEN TO EPISODE 1...

Very coincidental that I got exactly 2 hours with both games. And now, here are my thoughts:Mirror's Edge(PS3):I'm liking it so far. It's getting a little obvious that they made runner-vision to make people look at things they would've never looked at before(in a bad way though). Unlike Portal which gave subtle hints as what you were supposed to do, Mirror's Edge seems to outright point it out. The only reason I have ever really only gotten pissed off was the enemies, but probably because I'm trying to beat it without shooting...

Just to let you know, I had to color on loose leaf. You know, the one with the blue lines running through it? Yeah, that was f...

Kaillif finds it wierd that for a game company that puts so much design to their weapons (Squeenix) that it's not a FPS? Go here to see why I say th...

I'm am officially hooked on Fallout 3 now. Nothing precisely got me hooked, probably just the fact that I am finally leveling up a character that doesn't seem to be broken. Because I'm having no problems in choosing skills and perks anymore like my other characters.I didn't know I would be spending this much time exploring and not getting bor...

There have been a lot of people on the interwebz saying that the RPG layout for Oblivion works so much better in Fallout 3, but I have to disagree. By this time, I was hooked to Oblivion, but right now, I'm kinda getting....ooo, I really don't want to say tired, but I have to. I'm desperately looking through the wasteland looking for something to do, somewhere to go. But I think that...I never thought I'd say this...Fallout 3 is TOO big. There's so much nothing and too little everything. There are only two real cities, and all...

Note: Just before I explain, I just want to explain the post the other day. I just got a little hyped up because I heard they were doing some interesting things. Such as showing an "Actual 12 Year Old Girl"'s Level made by Boku, Microsoft's Free Littlebigplanet. Except you make games, not levels.Anyway, to the topic.This is my basic layout of 2009. It's kinda clear that 2009 isn't going to be a 2008 or 2007, where the biggest and awesome-est...

There's some awesome crap I wish I had the time to post to sh...

I really would like to go into this thing called "PC Gaming". I heard it's a very interesting community. Less kids, more innovating things, although not really innovative, just new. Steam seems like the best place ever! They are selling all the games I ever wanted but never had this thing called "Money" for! Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People, Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress 2, Audiosurf, Fallout 3, Warhammer Online (I'm serious),...

Thanks to whoever is clicking on the ads, and thank you for supporting my si...

i dont have much time, but i have recently found another educated super mutant who has given me a huge amount of information. nothing revealing or extraordinary, but just a few leads, but very interesting leads. ill talk more about them after i find the G.E.C...

wow. what a surprise. forget all the other ones i've told you, this one is crazy. i have to find a way to enter vault 87, but the entrance is so irradiated, you'll die in about 10 seconds. so i had to go into a cavern called Little Lamplight. it seemed like a normal cavern, except that I could hear galaxy news radio blasting a loud echo throughout the cave. it didn't take me a whole while to find out where it was coming from, as i saw a metal gate blocking my way. now this is where it got weird. i saw the patrol going up to...

i recently came to a raider camp at evergreen mills while heading to vault 112 to find my dad. i saw a couple of slaves and i figured, hell, i should rescue them. this was probably the largest camp i have found yet. what stood in the middle of the camp scared the f*** out of me though. there was a super mutant behemoth! i have only seen two, but these things are huge hulks, and they are a forced to be reckoned with. luckily, it was trapped in a electrified cage, but i saw the generator sitting right next to it. so after i cleaned...

so i was out heading for a place called Minefield, this woman is having me do some awkward chores to help her out with her "wasteland survival book". i came across a strange sight, a super mutant fighting two other super mutants. i did not find it strange at the time, but when i got closer to the fight, i noticed the my pip-boy was not displaying the first super mutant as deadly. so after the fight ended, i decided to make contact with the super mutant. i was amazed! it was a friendly super mutant! he told me his name was Uncle...
