Some of the time leading up to a game’s release has nothing to do with development. It goes gold, the marketing cycle begins, copies start printing and then much later it’s opening day at the box office. You can’t keep designers and coders on the payroll if they aren’t doing anything, so studios throwing them [...]

Christian Slater. Elton John. Jake “The Snake” Roberts. What do they have in common? They have nothing to do with this topic. I just needed an introduction for my article.

Friend of the Red show, Jeff Hanna, and the Technical Art Director on Red Faction: Guerilla, spiffed us a bunch of free codes for RF:G DLC!  Enough to hook 4 members of the community up with all three current downloads.
So here’s the gist.  We want you to break something.  Specifically a game you don’t mind [...]

At first glance, BioWare’s launch DLC for Dragon Age: Origins seems like an evil scheme to charge consumers for content that could have been included on the disc. That’s the conclusion I jumped to anyway. Good thing I read the press release in its entirety, rather than rushing to WordPress to post a spirited reaction.

SGC member PikminGuts92 and I had an INTERNET ARGUMENT last night. Well, nay, it was a minor disagreement on Twitter. As we’re both big players of Guitar Hero and Rock Band, it was totally about those games. And how Rock Band is doing it better.
Well, in my eyes anyway. In terms of DLC. You get [...]

Brightly hued button pummeling news now, with Brian Hayes, a producer on Fight Night Round 4, teasing (via interview) that face button controls could be coming to the rollickingly realistic slugfest simulator. All the details can be found in a rather handy compartment, located after the jump.

Last month we heard the news that Fallout 3 was releasing cross-platform DLC outside of Microsoft, allowing PS3 owners to play the previously MS-exclusive downloadable content for themselves on the Sony console. This DLC was previously touted as never coming to the PS3.
Yesterday, Sony announced that Final Fantasy XIV would appear “exclusively” on PlayStation 3. [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve written an outright rant, but today I woke up to the news that Fallout 3’s DLC will be coming to the PS3 and it just hit me wrong.  No, not the fact that the DLC is coming to the PS3; a lot of people figured it probably would.  What [...]

Murgo doesn’t ask for much. In fact, most of the items in his vibrantly hued caravan are reasonably priced. Well, that is if you don’t care much for serenity, perkiness, good health, clarity or praise. You see, the ingorant old charlatan, once more, is unaware of the true value of his goods. In the same [...]

Every music game fan has a list of songs that would be perfect for Rock Band and Guitar Hero. I am no different. However, for me, two tunes stand above the rest: Megadeth’s “Peace Sells” and Styx’s “Renegade.”
Last year, Harmonix made me happier than a fat kid in a bakery when the company revealed that [...]
