Bank Run combines an online interactive movie with iPhone gaming
One of the most difficult and time consuming activites that a website editor does on a daily basis is tackle the press release beast. I, for example, receive dozens of very similar-sounding games and gaming accessory pitches in my inbox, with one being barely distinguishable from the next. Bank Run is not one of those [...]
Pac-Man tattoo makes for interesting visuals
The last thing that I want to wake up to is a photo of a rear end in my email with a Pacman level tattooed on it. Why? It is visually mind boggling. I mean, what if he pops the cherry? Or maybe he’s got to jump the Grand Canyon to get to the other side? The concept is sure cool and a decent amount of symmetrical work went into this, but this otherwise makes me a Sad 2D Panda. But who knows: jeans/pants may come out with this on the rear instead of saying, “Juicy.” I’m curious as to what others think though.

Realview V-Screen turns 2D PSP games to 3D
Though it’s been out since January, it’s worth it to note that Realview’s V-Screen can turn all your 2D PSP games into a 3D experience. It works by enhancing perceived depth of field in the graphics to give you something that will pop out more as opposed to looking flat. This sounds similar to how modern day cinematography works in that your foreground can be more in focus and your background and mid-ground be out of focus and therefore a bit harder to see. However, I haven’t actually seen a demo of the product in action. They recommend it especially for racing games when you’re on the track and trying to tear it up. 2D NSFW content with this screen may be really something to check out.
SEGA begins to unveil the mystery that is Project Needlemouse
Longtime Sonic fans who have been consistently abused by the hedgehog’s post 16-bit adventures have flocked to Project Needlemouse as the series’ savior. The famous trailer that dropped last year hyped the series’ return to classic 2D gameplay, and was seen as the great vindicator for over a decade of subpar Sonic offerings (despite any [...]
CES 2010: Hands-On with Mega Man 10
CES 2010, as mentioned in our preview post, proved to be a very solid showcase for video game related news. Although there were pockets of games and accessories on the LVCC’s floor, a significant (and impressive) chunk of it was located inside of Capcom’s Planet Hollywood suite. There the company allowed me to get down [...]

The clip showcases how events from the present affect the past…or is it how events from [...]
Battle Beat merges music and tower defense on your Xbox 360
Outside of innovative titles such as Rez, few music games have attempted to be more than simple “press the button when the icon is in the right position” rhythm games. That formula was the basis of Parappa the Rapper, Guitar Hero, and Rock Band, and has proved highly successful with wannabe music mavens. Fortunately, developer [...]
