Sure, we don't know anything else about the game, but that won't stop us from getting excited.
We all knew it was coming, but it’s still hard not to get excited about the prospect of another Grand Theft Auto game. Rockstar has officially announced via their website that Grand Theft Auto V is indeed on its way and that we can expect a trailer on November 2, 2011.
It was going to be Kirby's Return to Dreamland.
Why is this week's Monday Night PlayBit delayed? Because the game to be featured in the PlayBit is nowhere to be found! After a pretty complete search of area stores, Kirby's Return to Dreamland isn't in any of them. It seems despite the October 24th release date, the game will not be in stores until tomorrow. Given this, expect there to be a "PlayBit Tonight" on Wednesday, beginning at 7:30 PM instead. I hope to see you then!
Jeff Gamon discussed the possibility of a Syndicate remake.
Jeff Gamon, EA Partners executive producer, told Eurogamer that he believes "There is scope to remake [Syndicate]." However, it would be for mobile phones, tablets and PC, not for the consoles. "I would love to see Syndicate as a true franchise again, bringing it back and expanding it out onto whatever platforms it's suitable for," Gamon said. "There's loads of potential. We're not limited at all. But that's purely speculative at this point."
Eager fans can get a double dose of Sonic before sinking their teeth into the upcoming Generations.
Steam is well known for offering some pretty sweet deals and this latest may be hard for fans of the speedy blue hedgehog to pass up. Those that pre-purchase Sonic Generations will get copies of Sonic 3D Blast and Sonic 3 and Knuckles absolutely free.
This review is 100% Hudson catch-phrase free.
The end of a video game system’s life is always an interesting one. While game developers, publishers, and fans are looking ahead to the new, shiny machine on the block, the older hardware has the benefit of years of development lessons learned. Consider that Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy IX, and God of War all came out as their respective systems were waning, and each of those games are considered classics in their own right. Enter Aliens: Infestation, a game developed by WayForward for the aging Nintendo DS system. Is this a game that will go down in history as one of the best additions to the DS library, or is it a case of too little, too late?
A bright, wholesome, and delightful experience from front to back that won't disappoint.
I was one of the very few people I know who did not grow up watching Sesame Street. As such, I never fully understood the dedication and nostalgia that people who did grow up watching it had for the not-for-profit, educational television show. Never fully understood, until having my own child, I should say. Although my son, Nicholas, is only ten months old, his smile widens and his eyes brighten every morning at 10AM when Sesame Street comes on the air. As I've watched and enjoyed the program for the last few months, I've come to understand why it has been loved by generations. Armed with my new found love for, and expertise on the series, I was genuinely excited to try out Double Fine's newest game based on the beloved TV show, Once Upon a Monster. From beginning to end, the game is a joyous experience full of color and endearing characters that was clearly not just created to be a fun game, but one that is designed to encourage families to play together.
Does Treasure's beat 'em up still have its edge?
When the 32 bit wars began, I was firmly entrenched in the Sony PlayStation camp. I believed then, as I do now, that the overall library of games on the PSX was far superior to that of the Sega Saturn. That shouldn’t imply, however, that there weren’t games on the Saturn that could make even the staunchest PlayStation supporter green with envy. The Saturn was capable of pumping out impressive sets of 2D sprites, and in this the PlayStation was a distant second. Games like Astal, X-Men vs. Street Fighter, and Albert Odyssey made me desperately want the beefy Sega console, and as soon as I was able to, I plunked down my hard-earned cash for a Saturn. The main reason for this purchase was, of course, Guardian Heroes. I had missed out on many of Treasure’s other games, since I had also sided against Sega in the 16 bit days. Even so, I knew just what kinds of incredible things the quirky Japanese developer was doing with animation and sprite work, and for me, Guardian Heroes was a system seller. Now, 15 years later, Guardian Heroes returns for XBLA with an HD upgrade. Does the game hold up after all these years, and is it worth the 800 MS point asking price? Read on, brave warriors, read on.
WoW Annual Pass holders to get a digital copy of Blizzard's next major release free, plus other goodies.

Temples, Volcanos, and Cubes. Oh My!
Nintendo keeps adding fuel to the fire with these three trailers. The first trailer shows Link going through the Earth Temple, rolling across a lava pool, fighting lizard guards and dodging fireballs. The next shows Link literally dropping into Elden Volcano, rolling bombs and dowsing. The last trailer shows off the Goddess Cubes. Check them out below and get ready for Link's latest adventure in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword for the Nintendo Wii on November 20, 2011.
It's official! Our favorite Renaissance era assassin will be playable in SoulCalibur V.
The SoulCalibur series is no stranger to the concept of the cross game cameo. Previous installments have seen Spawn, Yoda, Darth Vader, Heihachi and even Nintendo’s pointy eared Hylian, Link show up as bonus characters, so it only makes sense that the upcoming fifth game in the series will uphold this fine tradition.
