Gallery: The Saboteur

Did you ever find yourself walking home from a meeting, take a wrong turn down a dark alleyway (well, there WAS that ‘Detour’ sign with an arrow pointing right, so I detoured) and next thing you know, you wake up a short time later in a rumpled heap with a folder of screenshots in your hand and a hastily scrawled note that says: “éditez ces images, svp – des mercis, Devlin.” taped to your forehead?

No? Well, that happened to moi last night. I find out later that had I merely taken a left turn then three blocks to the subway and gone straight home, I could have picked up the same screens from one of EA’s helpfully handy PR folks and NOT get bonked on the head. Damn.

Need to find out who this “Devlin” guy is soon and give him the what-for, grrrrr

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles Ship Date, Awesome Pre-Order T-Shirt Revealed

Leave it to Capcom to go and cook up one of the coolest, craziest pre-order T-shirts I’ve ever seen (beating even that insanely groovy tie-dyed Raz T-shirt from Psychonauts) and they know it. Gamers who pre-order Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles for the Wii from GameStop will receive a ridiculously versatile T that, when pulled over the head, turns into an instant zombie disguise.

The T’s were first introduced at this year’s San Diego Comic-con and of course, the killer reaction from the crowds meant more gamers will get the chance to nab one of these goodies. It’s goofy… but really effective at first glance, as you’ll see below: Continue reading

Marker Man Adventures Looks to Draw In Gamers at Retail

One of the cooler portable games I’ve been keeping an eyeball on this year has finally made its way to retail. Majesco’s latest Nintendo DS game, Marker Man Adventures, developed by Glyphic Entertainment, is now in stores at a more than reasonable $19.99. Now don’t go confusing this up as some sort of quickie, slapped together Scribblenauts cash-in, folks. The game is a pretty nifty physics-based platformer/puzzle game, as you’ll see in the bit of the press release below the jump… Continue reading

Batman: Arkham Asylum Drops Into Stores

Of course… some of you lucky folks reading this have it already, thanks to a few game shops slipping copies into your hot little hands this past weekend. While I was being creeped out by the frightening brilliance of Cursed Mountain, baffled by the board gaminess of Hurry Up Hedgehog! (review coming shortly) and going through a few other titles, YOU were being the Caped Crusader, that Dark Knight Detecting and Dishing out Deadly Damage against Denizens of that Dank, Disturbing Domicile known as Arkham. Yeah, I grew up watching that campy Batman TV show, so sue me. Continue reading

Big Ol’ Update On the Way…

OK, folks – I’m starting to FINALLY get to writing more about the games on my loooooong Post-E3 list to the left. Fear not, all you searchers and researchers (and thanks to Lijit for their awesome map feature!), soon you’ll be able to click on a game you’re looking for and it’ll be here in some form or another.

Expect a few updates this week and next and onward as I post galleries and more previews. Some of this stuff will be post-dated, as I started a bunch of articles a while ago, but they’ll all get put up once I make time to edit and get more images. Stick around…
