Xbox 360 says Sayounara in Japan

Although Microsoft will never admit it, (and believe me sources have tried) the Xbox 360 has finally been laid to rest in Japan. An article by EDGE magazine has recently reported that a huge electronics retailer known as Yamada Denki has not only "removed hardware and software from a majority of it's stores nationwide, they've also sold the majority of their stock at a ginormous discount."

Personally, I can't fault Microsoft for their efforts. If games like Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball, Rumble Roses and Onichambara Bikini Zombie Slayers can't move Xbox's in Japan then I don't think it was ever possible. 

Batman Arkham City: Review

As many gamers know the dark knight has had a less than stellar career in the video game market. Thank goodness that didn’t deter Rocksteady Studios from taking on the caped crusader. Having made the unquestioned best Batman game ever, fans where left hungry for Batman’s return. Recent reports around the globe indicate that Bats has been spotted on consoles across the globe. Time to find out if the return to Gotham is worth all the expectations or if Bruce Wayne should hang up the cowl once and for all in our Batman Arkham City review...

The Dark Knight to Rise at Midnight

In case you've been locked away in Arkham itself, you probably already know that Rocksteady games made THE best Batman game EVER (look it up, its true). The follow up to their huge success, Batman Arkham City, will release at retailers at midnight tonight or for the less Arkham enthused, tomorrow morning. According to Metacritic, Game Informer has already given Bats a 10/10 score, but if you needed more motivation to get your crime fight on, have these pretty sweet trailers. Enjoy.

New Game Releases for Tuesday August 16th ‘11

Video games and duckface don't really have anything in common. However, this chick is kind of cute in a strange way, almost the same way today's video game releases are. However beautiful and complex she may be, El Shaddai and No More Heroes easily beat this chick out ten fold in terms of depth. I mean seriously, this image came up twice under "awkward gamer" search. Three words people, double you tee eff.

Deus Ex: HUman Revolution and why you should care

Not a lot has been mentioned about the newest title coming up from the house of Square Enix. However stealthy it may appear, DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION will emerge on August 23^rd  and will be rated M for mature. To say people have big expectations of this game would be a colossal understatement. Keep reading to find out if this sneaky cyberthriller is just what you've been waiting for...

Gears of War by Body Count?!?

We all know I love Gears of War. I also think Ice-T is the man, and I 100% rep Body Count. The new Body Count track aptly entitled "Gears of War" I cannot stand behind. In fact, if the song and I were walking down the street and we got jumped for our gold chains, I'd probably shove the song to the ground and run the other way...

....don't look at me that way... I'm not ashamed.

Regardless, have a listen for yourself via G4.

The 3DS is scheduled for a serious price drop

I can't say I didn't see this one coming. Nintendo of America has just announced that it will be dropping the price of it’s newest handheld from $249.99 to $169.99. The new price will take effect on August 12 in retailers Across America. According to President of Nintendo of America Reggie Films-Aim, the $80.00 price reduction is being marketed as an excellent reason to pick one up this holiday. “For anyone who was on the fence about buying a Nintendo 3DS, this is a huge motivation to buy now, we are giving shoppers every incentive to pick up a Nintendo 3DS, from an amazing new price, to a rapid-fire succession of great games.” Rapid-fire succession huh? Sadly to say, the Nintendo 3DS has been plagued by moderate success in the United States. Hopefully this new price point is what the system needs to get flying off the shelves.

Regardless, if you were interested in picking up a 3DS, $169.99 does help sweeten the deal between your wallet and a fancy new piece of tech. However, now you have a good reason to hold out a little longer. I mean seriously, you’ve waited this long, another three weeks won’t kill you…right?
