Ah! I’ll buy it at a high price, stranger Oh, Capcom! The lovable scamps behind thoughtful gestures likesave files that can’t be accidentally deletedare back with yet another altruistic offering for the gaming community. Word on the street is that in an effort to promote multilingualism, the benevolent company only included English voiceovers on Japanese versions ofResident Evil 6and various other games. Alas, some Japanese gamers have a strong desire to hear Sherry Birkin wail in their native tongue....

“Carnage Accumulator mode” speaks for itself I don’t have a soft spot forCarmageddon, and I probably never will, but I’m weirdly into the idea of the gory racing series melding withWreckfest, a game with good bones. With a free Carmageddon Tournament update out today on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox,Wreckfestis adding Bleak City, Devil’s Canyon, and the Eagle R “special” car. Oh, and yeah — there are lots of gray-skinned ghouls and even cows to mercilessly plow into....

‘Konami said they wouldn’t let a ‘team like us’ handle the Silent Hill property’ As the Internet continues to blink with incredulity at Konami’s decision to spike one of the most exciting E3 teasers of all time,Silent Hills, here’sanotherhead-scratcher of a decision made by the Japanese developer/publisher. Renegade Kid’sDementium: The Wardhad originally been pitched as aSilent HillDS game — and Konami turned it down. “Little known fact: We pitched ‘The Ward‘ to Konami in 2007 as something that could have become aSilent HillDS game,” co-founded Jools Watsham said yesterday onTwitter....

Age of Triumph was basically it A few months agoDestinygot the update that veterans had been waiting over a year for — Age of Triumph. It made old raids relevant again with updated difficulty tweaks and new gear, giving hardcore players something to do after they had conquered Aksis’ hard challenge mode time and time again. But as Bungie hinted around the time of its release, that’s basically all she wrote for the originalDestiny....

It very much looks like an extremely Japanese version ofTransformers Devastation....

Now I knowNinja Gaiden 2wasn’t exactly met with the warmest reception ever, but the game had dogs with swords in their mouths. What more do you people want!? Sure, the camera was a bit on the annoying side, the last boss was a total dickface, and there was an apparent lack of polish. But even with those faults, it was worth the money (disclaimer: I bought it for $10). Now that the once-exclusive game is being released on the PlayStation 3 asNinja Gaiden Sigma 2, I’m jealous I don’t have the technology to erase my memory of playing the inferior version so I can playSigma 2on PS3 without getting bored....
