Nyko To Upgrade Perfect Shot
This new version of the Nyko perfect shot seems to provide exactly what I have wanted. Resident Evil 4 Wii sucked only because you have to press and hold the A button in order to shoot. The wack part is that the “A” button is on top of the Wii remote and its takes away from the “gun” feeling. This solves that with the ability to remap the “A” button to pistol gr...[Read More]
UGO Aquires 1UP, EGM Magazine Killed Off
The rumors that EGM Magazine would be shut down that proliferated before and continued after the exit of former EGM Editor-In-Chief Dan (I saw that coming) Hsu have been realized with the announcement of the UGO buyout of the 1UP web network from Ziff Davis Media. There are reports that 30 or so people from the 1UP, Gamevideos and EGM staff were laid off as a result of the sale and word is that th...[Read More]

Killzone 2 Screens
Hot damn. Killzone 2 is looking gorgeous, and not in a cute way but in a bad ass I needs that way. I am very much looking forward to this sci-fi first-person shooter for the PlayStation 3. Check these screens…

Wii Kiosk In Mall Right Near Bootleg NES Kiosk
In a mall a bit outside of Chicago a few days ago I stumbled on this pretty swanky Wii Kiosk. They had a bunch of Wii game stations where you could play Wii Sports, Mario Kart, Smash Bros. Brawl, and Wario Land Shake. The line was short and it seemed pretty cool. The funny thing about this is that right around the corner literally a few feet away there was a kiosk that was selling Bootleg NES game...[Read More]
Mortal Kombat vs DC Owned By 1UP Staff
While we are still on the subject of 1UP and EGM, I was just watching today’s 1Up show video and during the review coverage of Mortal Kombat vs DC Heroes I noticed that Shane Bettenhousen was wearing a Street Fighter IV hat. Now that is a genuinely funny subliminal I can appreciate. Even funnier than the hat thing is the consensus in the show that Mortal Kombat vs DC is not a serious fightin...[Read More]
EGM May Be Shut Down, 1UP Lives On
According to the New York Times, Ziff Davis CEO Jason Young contends that EGM may soon go the way of the old typewriter, and by that I mean that the print publication known as EGM may be replaced by its all digital counterpart 1up.com. This news makes the current EGM cover almost prophetic. The article states that Ziff Davis is considering taking EGM online only (via 1up.com) but that no decision ...[Read More]
Capcom Wins Dead Rising Lawsuit, Sony Looses $18 Million, Activision Dodges
I figured I would wrap up all the legal related stories on one tight neat post. Capcom recently won their case against the Producer of George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead who sued Capcom claiming that Dead Rising ripped the Dawn of the Dead film. I guess this is likely to mean that we will see the rumored Dead Rising 2 in the future at some point. Sony recently lost a patent lawsuit to Agere...[Read More]
Valve vs Half Life 2 Hacker Detailed
Wired has this pretty cool article on Valve’s attempts to catch a German hacker who hacked into the Valve systems and posted Half Life 2 source code on the internet. A very intriguing story with fake job interviews, Feds, and arrests. Sounds like a real life “Catch Me If You Can.” OK, well not quite but an interesting read nonetheless. LINK: Valve Tried to Trick Half Life 2 Hacke...[Read More]
AS PREDICTED: Golden Axe Beast Rider Hits Clearance… In Record Time
Less than one full month after release Sega’s Golden Axe Beast Rider has begun its inevitable trip to clearance status. I spotted this sad sight earlier today at a local Target store and chuckled because as soon as Golden Axe Beast Rider was announced many months ago as a single player game with a muddy disposition I knew the game would tank hard and fast. Oh, Sega…
