Xbox Live 360.com. Games and Games.

Microsoft says the future media will be digital. Sony more or less agrees with this theory, as seen in the PSPGo. Obviously, the time is not right for a strictly digital system. But then again, it's not really fair to say that when there is no incentive other than ease of doing so. Does the Go have the same library as the PSP 1000 - 3000? No, it falls short (lesser known "must have" titles for

After Updating my PSP just now, I noticed 2 new pre-made folders. Initially I was sorting through the folders to fulfill my OCD when something crazy happened. During my organization process I unearthed more than I expected. Now what would I need a NEOGEO and PCEngnie folder for? PCengine, for those who don't know, is also known as Turbo Grafx 16.





Some of you may remember when I found the

My first foray into this soon to be epic section of our blog known as Renown Classics starts with what can only be described as mind numbing speed thrash. That is what the title should have been instead of Mohawk and Headphone Jack. Yes, one of the characters has a mohawk that covers his entire body for the majority of the game, and yes - the other character is wearing headphones. But the only

In 2008 I attended my first E3 event, and most people would say that it was one of the worst years in all of E3's history. To some degree it was; however, being as small as it was it left me opportunities to sit down and talk to some really big name people in the industry that at a normal E3 I would have never had the chance to have (ie. Alex Evans from Media Molecule and Ted Price from

This is MADNESS! 
NO! THIS, IS, MARIO BROTHERS!
Foreword:
I was a Nintendo kid growing up. I've played and completed lots of games. One of them that had eluded me was Super Mario Bros 2. The furthest I remember ever getting in this game is world 2-1. Not that I couldn't beat it, I was just into other games at the time, and since the game took such a dramatically different spin on Mario, I just

What is it about older games that makes them stand out? Why is it that many of the older titles seem to be held at a higher standard? These are just a few of the ponderings I hope to cover. *WARNING* Be prepared to hear way too much Final Fantasy love.

Final Fantasy IX was released on the PlayStation store a couple weeks back, and since then that is all I have been playing. I am once again

Summary: 
Blur is the latest entry from the team that brought us Project Gotham Racing. In short, Blur is PGR meets Mario Kart. High speed arcade style racing with power ups and weapons thrown in for good measure. The handling and atmosphere almost reminds me more of Midnight Club then PGR, but you can still tell this is a Bizarre Creations game.



Pros:
This game is beautiful. Graphically

So ends E3 2010 (well last week), and I'm here to see who was right about stuff. While I personally had a lot of predictions, as you heard on the predictions cast, not everyone did. Yet I still think it's a cool thing to go back and see if we got anything right. So let's begin, shall we...


-Travis-All Travis wanted was Killzone 3 and Uncharted 3. He only got Killzone though. He did mention

E3 is officially over, and for once in E3 history, I'm glad. The amount of work we put into cover this year's E3 while still holding our day jobs and social lives was ridiculous. I would personally like to thank anyone who has been following the blog and or podcasts this week, and hopefully if we are still doing this next year, we can actually go to the event! Time will tell, but for now...

$130 for Xbox Arcade system + $50 thanks to a fubar in Targets weekly AD?




While cruising through Target and checking out the new game setup, we noticed an AD correction sign. Target had claimed that the Arcade came with a headset, when in fact it does not. So in an effort to correct this matter, they are offering a price reduction and generous gift card of $50, ultimately making it $80. So

SONY>Nintendo>Microsoft

For those of you that live under a rock or just don't pay attention (like me), Super Mario Bros. Crossover is a new game that's gaining popularity on the internets as of late. And by "gaining popularity," I mean it's fucking awesome!

So what's this post for? Well, just to give you a run down on the game itself and some of it's features.



The first version

'Sup everyone? It's like 2am on Tuesday. Sorry for the delay; it's been a rough week with all the blog changes. Here's what to expect on itunes right now; I'll update the blog with listen links later.

see you tomorr..uh... later today...

Hello everyone, and welcome to another weekly edition of Notable Releases. This week I have something special to tell you about. How special you ask? Well... not that special, but it's still pretty cool. I mean, it's totally awesome and I'm on the fence about buying it. Really I am!

 -Wii/DS/Xbox 360/PS3/PSP/PC-Yup that's right, it's Toy Story 3... The Game. ZOMG IT LOOKS MAZINGS! Ok, now that

So for those who read my post about Killzone 3, this is the same deal, but with Dead Space 2. Dead Space is such a detailed world that, in my opinion, sets the bar for future survival horrors. As some of you know, I am not much of a horror enthusiast. Thus, Dead Space is something truly unique. I will have two trailers for you to enjoy attached, so enjoy! But before that, let's re-cap on Dead

Lesson #1 - When a retail worker tells you that their store does NOT match their's, or other stores' online prices, count your losses and walk away. You know why? Hit the jump to find out.


The reason I say count your losses and walk away, is because of one simple fact. You whining and bitching about not getting what you want won't change my answer of no. Oh, if any of you reading this post are

If you're reading this, you are probably already aware that things are changing at The Retail Gamer, and chances are the next time you load the page... it might not even be The Retail Gamer anymore!

We will keep you posted, but in the mean time, please bear with us as the site may not operate correctly. Also, I am aware of the text being impossible to read after the jump; looking into that.

If you pause it during the flashes on the screen when Sonya tells Scorpion that Subzero is still alive you see this.
An interesting take on Subzero. I can only assume that they are going with the "Mr Freeze" route of him having to stay at a lower temperature. And the thing on his face feeds him cool air? I don't know, this hole thing is fucked up and crazy... but in a good way... sorta... I

So let's imagine you've worked in a retail setting for the past four years, and then all of a sudden... you're unemployed. What do you do? Well, I imagine look something like the picture above... because you stopped doing everything else and started playing all the games you haven't gotten to over the past four years. Yeah, welcome to my life of the past week. Consider this more or less... A

Kind of a longer podcast this week. If you think this podcast is too long, let us know by emailing us! We'll then look into making them shorter... However, if you don't email us, we assume you want 2+ hours! Woot for 6 hour podcastings! ^.^

Lately I have been roaming around the Internet browsing the newly released trailer, pictures, and the sparse videos posted about Killzone 3, and I am definitely excited.
First off, if you have not yet beaten Killzone 2 and you do not want to spoil the ending, stop reading now. Also, if you have not beaten Killzone 2, what have you been doing??? It's been out for a very long time. So stop HERE

Video Review! (beta)
Testing out video reviews, so the video quality is terrible.


Summary:
I have been eagerly awaiting the release of ModNation Races since it was first announced at last year's E3. The initial idea I had from seeing the footage of how quickly you can make a track and the racing left me with a thought "Wow, this is gonna be an awesome PSN title" ... wait. Actually, it's a full

If you are looking for a way to repair your Xbox 360 because you have the Xbox 360 3 red lights then this blog will help you do this and the best thing is you can actually do this without having to be a rocket scientist!

All you need is about an hour and to understand why these errors happen, the 3 red lights is caused by heat build up getting to the main chips on the system and if you stop this heat build up you will be able to play your games again.

Sounds simple, and this is because it is!

You only need to look at your PC - the big case, the fan going, and then think about a high end gaming machine like the Xbox 360 and you will quickly realize that it does not have sufficient cooling.

The thing is one you have the Xbox 360 3 red lights, then putting a simple fan on your console will not help you, you need to stop the heat, yes but you also need to stop the motherboard flexing!

OK, so what are my options?

Well if you need to fix the Xbox 360 3 red lights you can send it in and they will fix it for you, the only thing is that it can take about 4 weeks for the repair and then you may also have to pay out $140 to get it fixed which is not good!

Well there is some good news!

Xbox 360 3 Red Lights Fix

I mentioned a while back that I would be likely back at SGC this July, but I didn't provide many other details. Now that the preliminary schedule is up, I can say with some certainty that I will be back at SGC with a panel on July 3 (Saturday). While this year won't be another epic debate, it should still be a lot of fun. The session will be "The Law and Our Digital Life," and the focus is on you. After all, there are a lot of legal issues facing simple internet dwellers as well as those with aspirations to publish content, whether those be videos or games or other material.

If you're not going to be at SGC this year, don't lose all hope. To make this session as big and diverse as possible, I've also started a thread on the ScrewAttack forums asking for more input on what people want to hear about. My plan is to get through as much of that thread and as many of the audience questions as I can in the time I have. So if you've got a question and can't make it, be sure to head over to the ScrewAttack forums and get the question in the thread.

See you all at SGC!

In the latest LGJ, we take a look at the Online Pass and some potential unwanted consequences.
