Last night, we talked aboutWipEout HD‘s latest patch, which included a few nasty surprises for those wanting to play the new “Fury” content. In-game ads had been smuggled onto the game, which ordinarily wouldn’t be a problem — that is, until it came to light that the ads were increasing loading times, forcing the game to slow down so that paying customers could be marketed to. While a few people claimed this wasn’t the case and that I was just a dirty biased liar with all the fat bias making biased mountains out of biased molehills, it seems that one entity agrees with me that these ads were not acceptable — Sony itself....

Basketball Parry is back on deck Breaking noses, chucking Hadokens, and staring at a dancing array of tweety birds is all well and good, but what is a World Warrior to do on their downtime? Capcom’sStreet Fighter 6aims to answer that question, offering aselection of mini-gamesto enjoy while your shoulder resets. As glimpsed duringlast week’s pre-order trailer,Street Fighter 6‘s single-player World Tour mode will see the player’s custom character wandering theStreet Fighteruniverse — training with Luke, chowing down with Honda, and asking Juri if you can get together for a quality nail-painting session....

Updated: August 02, 2025 We checked for new codes! Everyone loves a good villain. Fictitious ones, obviously. Real ones are landlords and grandmas who don’t let you enter the bus. Y’know, the ones without aura. If you want to become one with aura, you’ll needSuper Villain Tycooncodes. Super Villain Tycooncodes will give you freebies that will help you unlock as many super villain suits as you can. I can’t choose between Venom and Vegeta, so why not get both?...

It’s calledKamenin Merchant, and will be accessible via the DS Download Play feature of the Wii, sending it directly to your DS.

Even though there were only two games that ever used it and it was expensive as hell, I really loved theSteel Battalioncontroller. I love mechs so much and I always figured that controller was the closest I would ever get to piloting a mech in real life. By some stroke of luck, Capcom decided that they would revisit the series and the team saw the Kinect as the best means of bringing that simulation mech combat action to gamers....

Double Fine’s adventure game is iOS bound this summer Ron Gilbert’s only game with Double Fine,The Cave, is bound for iOS devices this summer.Touchgen have had some hands-on timewith port being handled by SEGA and say the touch-screen controls work pretty well. Pointing on the screen to move your character seems like a much more appropriate solution to movement rather than using virtual buttons or joysticks. I’d be interested to see how the platforming is handled on the iOS version as that’s somethingConrad raised in his review as a problem with the original console and PC versions....

You play against the figures, not as them Even more details out of Nintendo’sSuper Smash Bros.roundtable this evening. When you use one of thenew amiibo toysfor the game, the character will appear as a figure player (FP) that’s controlled by the AI — you won’t actually directly control it. Instead, you’ll fight against FPs to level them up, potentially far beyond the strength of a level 9 computer player (CP). InSmash, figure players can rank up all the way to level 50....

Cheaters seem to be trying their hardest to hack inBattlefield6, using what appear to be highly sophisticated pieces of software (and probably even hardware) to inject various nefarious stuff into the game. However, EA’s intrusive measures are proving effective, as over 330,000 cheaters got banned in two days. According to EA’s SPEAR anti-cheat team, the Secure Boot requirement is proving quite effective at combating cheaters, given that the system allows EA to recognize anything that seems to be “off....

[Dtoid community blogger Voltech gives us a top 10 list of cool video game ladies that eschews the usual suspects in favor of some lesser known but equally deserving women.

Okay for streaming but not necessarily human ears Last year, Twitch rolled out anaudio-recognition systemthat scans archived broadcasts for copyrighted music and mutes the offending segments. Now, the game-streaming site is offering broadcasters a library of500+ songs(with more to come) that have been pre-cleared for use on Twitch and won’t be flagged by The Man. That’s one way to sidestep copyright concerns. The song library is built from “established and burgeoning labels, including Mad Decent, Dim Mak, Spinnin’ Records, OWSLA, Monstercat, Fool’s Gold, and many more....
