Also a Crackdown agent Recently Iron Galaxy and Microsoft Studios introduced a fan poll forKiller Instinct, and asked what potential characters they’d like to see in the future. It included innocuous options like skins or spins like “Shadow Orchid,” but also provided several interesting guest character choices. That includes aCrackdownagent, aHaloBrute, and Joanna Dark, ofPerfect Darkfame. Over timeKiller Instinctmight just morph into “Microsoft All-Stars” and I’m perfectly okay with that. The survey is already closed so you can’t vote anymore, but we now have an idea of what Iron Galaxy wants to introduce in future seasons!...

MLB 2K10 videos have baseball in them

After many years of research I have concluded that watching baseball is only enjoyable at the stadium, with friends, while consuming large amounts of beer and overpriced food. This is because you don’t have to pay attention to the game. For me, watching baseball on TV is about as fun as watching the TV while it’s off. So, you can imagine how unenthusiastic I am about the full nine minutes of videogame baseball above we have fromMLB 2K10....

NieR’s English teaser trailer is just a woman swearing

Okay, this is one of the strangest teaser videos I’ve ever seen. It contains no game footage. It actually contains no real video atall. It’s just the game’s logo, while a woman — the intersex quasi-demon girl known as Kane — repeatedly hurls abuse and swears at a book. Yeah … this is strange. The strength of the language is also something that is quite unbecoming of a Square Enix game, and not what I’d have expected from such a strongly Japanese game....
