Whiskey for my men… At PAX West this year,I made it a pointto say “Beer for My Horses” as often as I could. I wasn’t sure what the context was. I guess it’s like how they say “Roll Tide” in the south. “You ready for that exam tomorrow?” “Roll Tide.” “Johnny, I want you to mow the lawn!” “Roll Tide.” But, I ran into something of a roadblock when folks had never heard “Beer for My Horses....

He who controls the dice, controls history Metal Gear Solidis the gift that keeps on giving. Having redefined a genre – and in many ways an industry – when released for PlayStation back in 1998, Hideo Kojima’s stealth classic refuses to die, repeatedly popping up in re-releases, memes, fan-projects, concerts and other such entities. Now, the tale of Solid Snake, Liquid, Meryl and Shadow Moses is ready to return once more, as IDW Games has partnered with Konami to adapt one of the greatest video games of all-time as a board game for you – and your friends you tricked into coming over – to enjoy together....
A pleasant surprise The world is big and monsters are big (usually), butMonster Hunter: Worldisn’t necessarily very big. At least the file size, that is. WithMonster Hunter: Worldreleasing later this month on January 26, reports are surface about the game’s base install. According to this photo thatPlayStation Universefound, the Japanese PS4 version ofMonster Hunter: Worldis 16GB. That’s in line with the Xbox version whichthe Microsoft Store lists as 13.62GB. Pretty small, right?...

PS3 firmware update 3.70is now available, and while I’d usually makemany sarcastic referencesto the frequency of updates and the shittiness of the PS3’s download capabilities, I’ve instead got something better to do — bitch about the fact that Sony is expecting people topayin order to have their console finished. This is the modern videogame industry, folks — where gamers need to pay a subscription fee to get a console’s features working properly....
Continuing tonight’s theme ofvideos about ninjas, we bring you the brand-new trailer for the upcoming PS3 title:Ninja Gaiden Sigma.Ryu Hayabusa has always been the epitome of ninja chic. From hisearly dayson the original NES, to that time he made out withmy girlfriendat that Metric concert, he has always been the man to look up to if you had aspirations of one day running along a wall, stabbing three guys in the face, doing a backflip and making a tremendouslysexist quip, all in one swift motion....

Iwata just held a press conference in Japan tonight and detailed what his plan of attack is to turn the company around....
Seriously though, Seaman on 3DS would be perfect I had given up on theprospect ofSeamanever gracing 3DS with its particular brand of weirdness, but perhaps I’m just too quick to give up hope.Siliconerahas discovered trademarks that may tie into previous rumblings about the potential handheld port, orSeamanmore generally. Nintendo has registered trademarks forMysterious Pet: Legend of the Fish With A Human FaceandMysterious Partner: Legend of the Fish With A Human Face....
They’ll constantly curate the Arcade If there was one series that dominated BlizzCon, it wasOverwatch. Even during press testing sessions, journalists and video personalities alike flocked to try out Sombra, and on the showfloor, it consistently had the longest lines and most action. It’s that big. So when I asked Scott Mercer, principle designer forOverwatchand Rachel Day, effects artist, if anyone predicted this level of success, they were excited to share their thoughts....
‘Maestro Challenge’ Blizzard is getting ready to launch a newOverwatchmusic collection with “Cities and Countries” album, and who better to usher in that initiative than Sigma: the musically inclined hero. Billed as a soundtrack “featuring the themes fromOverwatchmaps and missions,” it’ll be available to both purchase and stream. Given that the score is one of the best parts of the game, I wholeheartedly approve. Another facet of the promotion involves something “tangible” in-game as well: the Sigma Maestro Challenge, which kicks off tomorrow....
Planet of the Discounts, Games Under $15, and Add-On Deals are running through July 21 PlayStation Store sale season is in full effect right now with three major PS4 and PS5 game sales running through June 04, 2025.

I want this to be real, even for a moment Nintendo Wire is giving us another demake mockup, and once again, I wish it was real. In case you forgot, thePokemon Snapseries (it’s a series now!) allows players to take photos of creatures, facilitated by an on-rails mechanic. Your job is to capture as many Pokemon characters as you’re able to on film, sometimes in different poses or situations. This mockup shows us a full stage (Beach Course 1-1), from the start to the final assessment from Professor Oak, where you get scored on your photos and choose which one to use to put your best foot forward....
