Uncle Sam Doesn't know Jack

Sorry about the late post but I was busy being American today. However, if you'd like to test your knowledge of all things commercial... er... American, then don't forget to pop in your copy of You Don't Know Jack to unlock the Turncoat achievement. Because you know, nothing say's un-American like sitting on your couch staring at the boob tube.

Oh Gears, Original Gangster.

It's no secret by now to anyone that the legendary rapper Ice-T has been at the forefront of the celebrity hype train for Gears of War 3. It's not even big news that he's actually going to be in the game itself as a stranded named Aaron Griffin. What is news, is this video showing exactly how how Ice-T runs things on Serra. Hmmm... apparently Ice-T lied to us when he told us he wasn't a Superhero in '91. Enjoy.  

Gears of war 3 Horde Mode 2.0 is a gross understatement.

Many a time you'll pick up a sequel to one of your favorite gaming franchises and expect that the designers tweak the game enough to make it feel fresh and new while still retaining the charm that got you into that relationship to begin with. I'd love to tell you that the folks over at Epic games did just that for Gears of War's upgraded Horde mode...but I'd be lying. What they've actually done is given you a reason to fall in love with Gears of War all over again. Read past the break to find out about all the wonderful ways you'll be able to rip Locust hearts out...

According to Majesco and Wayforward studios that's exactly what some of us will be drinking down this summer when the Nazi killing vampire vixen known as Bloodrayne makes her Next-Gen debut on the Playstation network and XBOX Live Arcade with Bloodrayne Betrayal.

Video games contributing to the Medical Field?

Recently, an article in the July issue of OXM (Official Xbox Magazine) states that those crafty Canadians are using the Kinect sensor to perform surgeries in Sunnybrook hospital in Toronto. According to the article in the Winnington Free Press, a Doctor by the name of Calvin Law spearheaded the implementation process. With his aid surgeons have succeeded using Kinect to call up medical documents mid surgery, thus cutting out the need to leave the operating room or scrub in after reviewing a patients medical records. This new method is said to even be cutting down the time in surgery by an hour in most cases.  I don't know about you guys but personally I'm proud that video gaming has been able to contributed to something as profound as surgery. Now, if Dr. Law could only help me figure out if the plural form is pronounced moose or meese.

The Call of Duty: Black Ops money train just keeps on rollin'

Ok guys I wouldn't even be writing this article if it weren't for the fact that there's an apparent division within the gaming community over the next batch of Call of Duty: Black Ops DLC. Apparently Treyarch and Activision are releasing one last multiplayer map pack to capitalize on the Black Ops money train before the monumental release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 finally puts the game to rest.

Top 10 Video Game Ninjas

Ninjas and video games go together like milk and cereal, like rap music and jail time, like Xbox 360's and red rings (ok, maybe now that well.) Ninjas were video game zombies before developers realized the walking dead made for an endless supply of bad guys. In celebration of everything ninjas have done for video games throughout the years, I've complied a top 10 list of the very best the ninja arts have to offer. Follow me into the shadows to see more...

Remember Kinect, me neither but Child of Eden does.

Almost one full year ago the Kinect hype train was going full speed, titles like Star Wars Kinect and Codename D had everyone a buzz with excitement. It seemed that gaming as a whole was on the cusp of emerging into something both exciting and new, but somewhere along it's path the evolutionary controller lost momentum and slowed to an almost dead crawl. After almost 7 months, we are getting our first glimpse of a solid new IP since the launch titles debuted, Child of Eden.
