Scribblenauts 2 announced as I buy a new stylus

My all time favorite game for the DS is just about to get a new installment. Scribblenauts was one of the few games that ate up more than three or four hours on my DS and actually caused a bit of ire between my wife and I as we made desperate run/jumps for it after the kids went to bed.

Hellion shows off a bunch of in game shots.  Looks very pretty, in a manly, gaming kind of way.

I've been following Hellion's development for a little while now. I'm much more interested in this game then I was in Dante's Inferno. This is shaping up to be more of an experience and less of a God of War clone. I like that.

Age of Zombies = time travel, shooting zombies in the head and retro cuteness

There, I said it. "Cute". Not normally a word I associate with violent death, undead hunger and head shots. Age of Zombies features protagonist Barry Steakfries as he hops through time destroying undead brains, battling what looks like giant robots and there's something about a zombie T-Rex too.

EA brings Hell to the superbowl.  Also makes a nice montage video.

Looks like EA is ready for some football. They've purchased a spot during the Superbowl to highlight their newest franchise - Dante's Inferno. Over the weekend they also dropped this nice (up to 720p) video montage of what hell may be like if you carry a fantastically large penis scythe.

Green Man Games to allow you to resell your digital game downloads?

"Green Man Gaming today revealed a new digital games retail platform that monetises the digital pre-owned market." That is straight from their very limited press release and roughly translates into "We'll give you cash or cash-equivalent for your legally downloaded games." Uh. . . wow? That's a new twist on the used game market for sure and could mean I can finally get rid of my older Steam catalog, right?

EA and Del Ray and Dante team up to go to Hell

In what I can only describe as a slight blow to literature everywhere but an interesting opportunity for literate gamers, Dante’s Inferno is being republished.  In book form.  By Electronic Arts.  Oh, with Del Ray (ne Ballantine ne Random House) doing the bulk of the dead tree work. Don’t worry though, the fine folks who brought [...]

Tron: Evolution screenshots and video of the newest Tron based video game

Here are the first few screens and a trailer video from Disney's up and coming Tron movie based video game. Tron: Evolution. Looks neat but I don't know if it would ever replace the stand-up console Tron game I played back in the 80's. At least for nostalgia.

Dragon’s Lair for the iPod touch/iPhone video.  This looks awesome!

I have very distinct memories of burning quarters at the arcade on a new kind of video game which featured not computer graphics but gosh darned actual animation.  Dragon’s Lair made a huge splash at my local arcade and people lined up to jam that joystick to the left, the left! The LEFT DAMMIT! Now I [...]
