For those of you who can't wait for the June 3rd release of The Bourne Conspiracy (PS3, Xbox 360), you can wet your whistle today by hopping on Xbox Live and downloading the playable demo.
Prefer a PS3 demo? You'll have to wait until Thursday for your Bourne adventure.
I'm currently working on the Pigeons section, and will be adding to it all day. If anybody knows where to find the pigeon on the west side of East Borough Bridge, let me know in the comments as it's driving me crazy, crazy I tell you!
Head on over to the newly launched LEGO Indiana Jones website and take part in the treasure hunt to earn yourself Indy wallpapers, stickers, coloring pages, avatars, and ringtones (coming soon).
When you're done downloading, check out the screenshots, the trailer, the forums...oh, there's just so much LEGO Indy goodness, you're just going to have to see it for yourself!
The game is due to set all sorts of sales records and we are very excited to begin playing it in about an hour. We'll be updating the GTA 4 guide frequently, so check back often!
Per usual, you can check in on our growing guide as it's being written. It will eventually include all hidden items and secrets!
The first Silent Hill set to be released on the Xbox 360 and PS3 has both a name and a release month.
Silent Hill: Homecoming is the title chosen for the fifth installment of the creeptastic series, and September is the release month...in Europe. No other release dates have been provided for other regions. My money says those of us in North America will see the game appear mid to late October, just in time for Halloween.
For details of the game, and the poor fool who wanders into Silent Hill this time around, please go here.
The Chicago Transit Authority has chosen to pull Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto IV advertising campaign from the sides of its buses. According to the report from the Fox affiliate in Chicago, the decision came after a particularly violent weekend in the Windy City, where 15 people were shot, and six were killed, due to gang activity.
All I can say is, I hope the city is doing more to squelch the violence than removing these ads, which may be in bad taste, but certainly aren't causing anyone to kill.
In case you didn't know, Okami today makes its debut on the Nintendo Wii. In conjuction with the launch, Deviant Art is teaming up with Capcom to hold an Okami-inspired Art Contest.
I have little artistic skill yet this game is so stunning that all I want is to paint cherry trees all day. I'm thinking they'd make good wall murals, but I don't think Allison would be too pleased with that.
In case you missed Okami on the PS2 (as most of us did), you need only wait two more days to experience this awesome adventure on the Nintendo Wii.
Also, in case you were worried the Wii version lacks a little somethin' somethin' the PS2 version might have had, worry no more, as IGN's Okami review lets us know that the game is completely at home on the Wii.
It seems that there are few gamers who are hopping mad over EA's downloadable content strategy for Battlefield: Bad Company. You see, the standard game is $60, no shocker there. The "Gold Edition" is $70 and includes five weapons not available in the standard edition.
Those with the standard edition can purchase those weapons as downloadable content. EA claims that the weapons don't throw off the balance of power in multiplayer matches, which begs the question, why include them, and more importantly, why sell them?
Because of this rotten strategy, there are many gamers who are planning to boycott the game altogether. I say let's march on Washington! Or, the LA offices of EA! Yeah!
Sony has today announced that God of War 2 (PS2) has officially graduated to 'Greatest Hits' status.
Truth be told, the title met the 'Greatest Hits' criteria some time ago (at least 400,000 copies sold, 9 months on the market), so, the big news for you and me is that the title will now retail for US$19.99. WooHoo!
If you missed this game the first time around, now is the perfect time to pick it up, as it is a bloody good time! Oh, and we have a wonderful God of War 2 Walkthrough and Strategy Guide to help you through it!
It's no secret that we're not huge fans of Wedbush Morgan Securities analyst Michael Pachter. While we have nothing against the guy personally, his record for making accurate predictions regarding the direction of the video game industry has been less than impressive. Despite this, he seems to be the go to guy when it comes to the investment realm of video game analysis, which is why we go a little nuts when we hear him say things that don't seem thought out.
Today's Pachter crime comes via an interview on GameTrailer's Bonus Room, where he states that, if EA acquires Take-Two, EA will "have an economic incentive to delay [Grand Theft Auto IV]".
The suggestion is that EA would hold the title until the 4th quarter, when the video game industry makes most of its money. These are the kinds of Pachter-esque predictions that drive us nuts, as they fail to take into account certain unique variables.
If this were any other highly anticipated game, Pachter would have a case. But it's not. This is Grand Theft Auto 4. With its April 29th release date, it's expected to bring in over $360 million in retail sales in the first week. If it is successful, it will beat out Halo 3, which, with $300 million in sales, holds the record for the highest grossing opening day in entertainment history.
Of course, the game's sales won't stop there. This will, most certainly, be the summer of GTA IV (and R.E.M., but that has nothing to do with anything). People will be playing it left and right. My dad, who buys, perhaps, one game every two years, will be playing it. Then, come the holidays, all of those people who haven't bought it, will buy it.
GTA games, particularly those that are supposed to be absolutely ground-breaking (and online), don't die for years (btw, our 2004 GTA: Vice City Game Guide remains one of our most popular). In other words, when it comes to the release of GTA titles, it's not a matter of how much money the company is going to make, it's a matter of when that company is going to begin taking in millions upon millions of dollars. EA likes money just as much as the next company, and they're not going to delay making money in the second quarter, as they'd still be racking it up in the 4th.
As a final note, we should remember that in June of last year, Pachter predicted a delay of GTA IV's original release date of October 16th, 2007. While Take-Two did delay the release, it was due to delays in development. Pachter predicted delays would be due to a desire to avoid competition with other 4th quarter titles. Rather contradictory to his current path of prediction, is it not?
After several delays, Pandemic Studios finally seems confident in providing a solid release date for the highly anticipated Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, as they stuck it at the end of a brand new trailer.
Look to guide your soldiers-for-hire through the jungles of South America on August 31st (Septermber 5th in the UK). These dates apply for all console (PS2,PS3, X360) and PC versions of the game.
On the heels of Pandemic's announcement came one from THQ, letting gamers know there will be another sandbox title to choose from, just days before the release of Mercs 2 (and just a few months after GTA IV. Look for Saints Row 2 (PS3, X360) to hit store shelves on August 26th. Oy.
Truth be told, the past couple of Saints trailers make me wonder if they're really going to be ready for an August release...as one is all audio, the other, a 15 second slide show. Lame.
Don't get me wrong here, because I am as excited as any other gamer for the release of GTA IV (after all, I'm not made of wood). But, is anyone else getting a little sick of seeing trailers that feature no real gameplay? Meh. Maybe it's just me.
Anyway, here's the latest and greatest, via Gamestop.
Let's move past the fact that The Bourne Conspiracy videogame will not feature Matt Damon and is based on Robert Ludlum's novels instead of the films. You past it? OK. Me too.
With that ugliness behind us, we can now all celebrate the announcement from Sierra Entertainment (via Vivendi) that the game will land in North America on June 3rd and in the UK on June 27th. So, get your PS3s and Xbox 360s ready, as Jason Bourne is about to take control!
Note, the above trailer is best enjoyed while playing Moby's "Extreme Ways" in the background.
With less than a month to the launch of what's sure to be this year's biggest game, the insert map for Grand Theft Auto 4 seems to have been leaked. While it's still getting the "rumor" treatment, for those of us living in Liberty City, well, it looks right to us.
You'll see that Lunabean HQ is located in a lovely part of town, on the east side, not far from the beach and in close proximity to Chuck E Cheese! However, the only dog park in the area, Tommy Vercetti Memorial Park, is all the way across town. Alas, don't feel bad. When you can drive 90 miles per hour and pedestrian deaths don't matter, it only takes about 5 minutes to get there.
GTA4 is released on April 29th and we'll start a walkthrough soon thereafter.
Update: For those who need Condemned 2 help beyond the current scope of the walkthrough, please post your questions in our Condemned 2: Bloodshot Help Thread in our forums.
Yes, it's been complete for awhile now, but, I just added the Screenshot Version, so I thought I should mention it.

The PS2 port and highly anticipated Okami has been pushed back from its previously announced March 25th release date to April 15th.
Gamespot, the breakers of this news, provides no reason for the delay, beyond a guess that the game's developers (Ready at Dawn) wanted to reallocate its resources to God of War: Chains of Olympus. My only problem with that theory is that GoW: CoO hits stores today. Ready at Dawn's work is done, right? Perhaps the team just wanted a well-deserved break.
No matter what the reason, there's not much difference between March 25th and April 15th, particularly when we'll all have Super Smash Brothers Brawl to entertain us in the interim.
For those who haven't seen the Wii version in play, this little video is worth a look:
The game is expected to be released in September, just four months (give or take) after LEGO Indiana Jones, which means it will be a HUGE year for LucasArts and traveller's tales. Oh, it will also be a HUGE year for the millions of gamers (myself included), who love the LEGO games.
For more LEGO Batman info, check out the latest article from MTV Multiplayer, which broke the news that we'll be able to play as both Batman hero and Batman villian. Mwahahahahaha!
