Update 2: Niero: As you know, EA had the nuts to charge $20 on payperview for a video game demonstration of Madden 2007. Apparently a “leaked version” of it just became available on the web but you can’t hear the audio and its otherwise a very frustrating experience, but you can see some of the game anyway. Now. We all you use YouTube on a regular basis and rarely do I ever come across footage this poor, even with guys recording DS games as they hold the camera with their mouths....

Your memory skills are pathetic The latest entry in Nintendo’s line of brain training software,Brain Age: Concentration Training, released to practically no fanfare whatsoever back on February 10. I think it’s safe to say that the “brain age” craze has long since died. Besides,$30? The original was a sensible $20, which I’d consider the max price if you want those impulse purchases. But my God, does it look like it will kick your ass....

Sorry, ‘Rig-based’ Overwatchwas far from the first game to use the “class-based” setup, but it sure is popularizing it. With the advent of franchises likeQuakeandGears of Waradopting it, it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. As it turns out, Activision announced at the Call of Duty XP event this weekend that the upcomingCall of Duty: Infinite Warfarewould be the next title to follow suit. As “meh” as that sounds, I got the chance to playInfinite Warfare‘s multiplayer for the first time ever, and I have to say, it’s good thing....

The Last of Us would’ve been a good name for a battle royale Hey, we’ve almost made it to the end of E3! Wait, what? E3 hasn’t even begun yet? This should be illegal. But we’ve almost made it to the end of Monday night! It has been quite the long day. The biggest name has yet to take the stage, though. In a mere 30 minutes, PlayStation has the attention of the gaming world....

The writing’s on the wall Hey folks. Welcome to yet another edition of Comments of the Week from your resident cave dweller ooktar. It’s week 23 and 23 is a pretty mysterious number. Did you know that there are 23 chromosomes in the human sex cell or that Julius Caesar was stabbed 23 times? How about that Max Headroom first aired on Network 23 or the Dude from The Big Lebowski always bowls at lane 23....

Enter the new Xenoverse Ever since my early years, theDragon Ballfranchise has taken a significant part of my life, including its video games. Becoming a huge fan of the series, I played classics such as theSuper Butodengames andDragon Ball Z: The Legend, and haven’t missed aDragon Ballrelease since then. We encountered many disappointments, especially after having one of the bestDBZtitles in the last decade,Budokai Tenkaichi 3, but thenXenoverseemerged, pushing the series back on the right track, andXenoverse 2so far has proven to have the potential to push that even further....

My condolences to the mod team With all ofthe controversysurroundingStar Wars Battlefront II, you think the last thing EA would want to do is open its mouth.Their responseto one particular Reddit thread has become the most downvoted comment in the history of the website, so how can they put out the fire? Apparently by holding an AMA (Ask Me Anything) for all comers. If you’re keen to get your voice heard and want to ask EA what the decision making process for microtransactions was, then set your alarm clocks for tomorrow (November 15) at 12:30 pm EST/9:30 am PST....

‘Coming soon’ to Apple Arcade Enter the Gungeondidn’t inflict enough pain on this world, apparently. Game developer Dodge Roll wants us to surviveanotherbullet-hell gauntlet. Its next venture,Exit the Gungeon, is a spin-off with the same manic vibe but a slightly different format: rather than a dungeon crawler, it’s a “dungeon climber.” “Armed with an ever-changing weapon, an insatiable need to loot, and the trusty dodge roll, each of our heroes must ascend and escape via their own unique route of increasingly perilous elevators,” noted publisher Devolver Digital....
