Earlier today, we were sent aUSA Today articleabout Rock Band (viaKombo) that contained an alarming snippet of info regardingRock Band 2for the Wii. “Unfortunately, as with the firstRock Band,” USA Today’s Marc Saltzman wrote, “the Nintendo Wii and Sony PlayStation 2 versions ofRock Band 2do not offer any Internet connectivity for multiplayer gaming or downloadable music.” Before the Internet exploded with the anger of a million Wii owners, we went straight to the source....

Dynasty Warriors Berserk was just fully confirmed

Here’s a NSFW teaser Well, the site teasing this past weekseemingly gave it away! Koei Tecmo has confirmed today at E3 that the nextWarriorsgame is indeedBerserk Mosuo. Here is a short, no-gameplay clip that’shighlynot safe for work. Without spoiling anything, this clearly deals with the event “The Eclipse” in the series, which is pretty hardcore both thematically and from a gore perspective. I really hope they go all out and don’t hold back for this....

Everything from Ubisoft’s 2015 E3 press conference

Aisha tried her best Um, yeah. So Ubisoft’s event wasn’t as bad as it could have been. I mean, we’ve seen way, way worse, with giant enemy crabs,Wii Musicdemonstrations gone wrong, Joel Mchale, and Mr. Caffeine (those last two were also Ubisoft by the way), but the actual conference was fairly lackluster. I think Aisha Tyler did a great job for what it’s worth. She came off as excited without acting like she just wanted a paycheck, and the transitions between reveals were fairly smooth....

Funcom announces ‘Conan Exiles,’ with yes, that Conan

PC Early Access this summer Funcom has been busy! In addition to maintainingThe Secret World, experimenting with games likeThe Park, and even dabbling intoLEGOa bit, they’re taking another crack at theConanlicense. They’ve announcedConan Exilesfor PC and consoles, which is coming by way of Early Access on PC “this summer,” and consoles “to follow.” With Arnold’s newConanmovie just finishing up the screenwriting process, it’s insane to me that we’ll see this big of a resurgence for the first time in over three decades (the 2011 film doesn’t count)....

Games time forgot: Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail

As far as Google image search or Wikipedia are concerned, this week’s forgotten game doesn’t really exist — at least, legitimate videos or images of its gameplay don’t (the above is from the game, certainly, but — ironically — it’s just a clip from the film delivered via rebus). I’m bummed, to be honest, but the absence of such media also serves to underline just how forgotten this hilarious, if absurdly illogical and difficult, really is....

Hideo Kojima not keen on remaking his previous games

Considering most of theMetal Gear Solidgames have been re-released in various fashions over the years, it’s surprising that Hideo Kojima isn’t too keen on remaking his older games. When asked at Konami’sMetal Gear Solid Vevent today in Germany, Kojima said that if he had to remake one of his older games, it would be the originalMetal Gear Solid. Still, he said that if a remake were to happen, it would be more like the recentPlanet of the Apesfilms, most definitely not a straightforward remake....
