Saw 3D Poster Revealed

And here it is (below the jump), the official Saw 3D poster art! One question, though... just what the heck would you build a skyscraper-sized Jigsaw statue out of anyway? The film is in theaters on October 29, by the way...

Capcom Announces Mega Man Legends 3 Project, New Resident Evil For 3DS

In one of the best "IT'S ABOUT FREAKIN" TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!" sequel announcements this year, Capcom has made me and a whole bunch of gamers pretty happy clams (well, mostly). A new Mega Man Legends game is on the way (yay!) for the 3DS (er, Yay?). While a new cross-platform game would have been even more fantastic (especially with HD remakes of the previous MML/Tron Bonne games), it looks as if Nintendo's upcoming must-have bank-breaking handheld wonder will be the lucky recipient of this latest installment.

Anyway, press release, logos and RE 3D screens below the jump. I'm going to go dance around the room a bit before crying as I check my bank account (and cry some more afterward).

3DS Dated for Japan (2010), US (2011), Specs Listed (Just Bring On The GAMES!)

Yeah, yeah. Here's a nifty Gamasutra article with the 3DS specs as well as another with Japanese launch info, but if you ask me, I could care less about the specs. I just want to see the darn thing and a bunch of games I can sit down play with at a Nintendo event before getting my grubby paws on one I can take home. Yes, I'm shameless, but hell, I don't spit out good reviews based on freebies and I'm certainly no celebrity who's going to pose and shill in public and not give a crap about the 3DS once the cameras shut off. As long as developers get to make the best games they can for the handheld, I'm a supporter. Once the crap shovelware hits (and it will - some folks will buy anything in 3D!), I'll stick around, but I'll be a meanie when I need to be.

Two Worlds II Delayed 'Til January 2011 (And Why I'm Not Worried One Bit)

Hmmmm... Southpeak says the game needs a tad more polish, so it's now headed your way in a few months rather than next week. TopWare says it's more than ready for its closeup, but thanks to a few similarly massive titles, wants players to have enough time to digest those large lunches before their big dinner. Ready... FIGHT!

Er, no (*DING!*)

I'd have to say BOTH are acceptable excuses. Read on for my cosmic rationale...

It's Not October Yet, But...

...Hell, those recent Splatterhouse screens inspired me even more than usual, so I actually whipped up a quickie banner a few days early. Hope you like it. I may do another next week. Then again, I'll be busy with a ton of stuff including getting ready for NYCC, so I may not run a new banner at all.

We shall see...

MySims SkyHeroes PS3 Demo Up And Flying

EA is keeping the MySims SkyHeroes fun in the air with a new PS3 demo that shows off some of the fun Sim-ified versions of popular franchise characters. Check it out below the jump. The game has officially launched today, so it's definitely worth a test flight if you're curious about what to expect in the retail version.

Gallery: Resident Evil Revelations

My first thought (given the Capcom press page has this listed as a regular DS game) was: Wait.... these are Nintendo DS screens? Of course, you'd be a bit confused too, especially if you also saw those similarly eye-popping screens for the upcoming 3DS RE Mercenaries title. Then I realized that it's going to be one of those 3DS titles that you don't need the "3D" effect on to enjoy. Still, for a handheld with FAR lower resolution than any current TV or monitor, what's here is pretty amazing stuff. Go Capcom!

Superstars V8 Racing Gets Release Date + Contest (Yes, You Should Enter!)

O-Games has indeed announced a release date for its upcoming download-only PS3 exclusive racer. If you're STILL somehow hesitant at spending a mere twenty bucks for a full-featured racer and you live in the good ol' U.S. of A., there's even a chance to get the game for FREE (cheapskate). Click below for the full scoop.

MySims SkyHeroes Dead Space Parody Trailer Is A Hoot

I'd never thought I'd ever say this, but EA has actually found a way to make the Dead Space universe look... cute. As in too darn cute beyond belief. Check it out and afterward, go try out the ridiculously fun demo for MySims SkyHeroes on Xbox Live Arcade while you're still smiling. MySims SkyHeroes launches (pun intended) on September 28 for the PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, PC and Nintendo DS. Demo info and more MSSH coolness below the jump.

AMC's The Walking Dead Gets NYCC Premiere

Yet another really cool thing about New York Comic Con is the chance to see upcoming film and TV promos complete with many of the fine folks who've helped create them. AMC's new zombie series based on the great Image comic hits cable on Halloween, but thanks to IGN, NYCC attendees will get the chance to see a bit of it earlier as well as toss a few questions at the cast and creative staff.

ArcaniA - Gothic 4 PC Demo Now Available

With ArcaniA - Gothic 4 set to hit retail on October 12, 2010, JoWooD, DreamCatcher and BVT have released a PC demo version of the game, currently available here and here. Details of what's in that demo below:

Gallery Update IV: Splatterhouse

The three screens I can run on this more family-friendly blog are below. As for the rest... well, you know where to find them, don't you? Only a few more weeks to go, ladies and germs! More gallery updates to come shortly, as Namco Bandai seems to be adding even more gorgeously gruesome screens as the game approaches its ship date.

Mastiff's Deer Drive Shoots Onto Nintendo DS

A hunting game on the go? Yes, indeed says Mastiff. The publisher has brought a portable version of its popular Wii simulation, Deer Drive to the Nintendo DS and it's now available at retailers across North America for a mere $19.99. Given that the Wii version moved around 400,000 copies, I'd say DS owners might make this one as much of a hit, if not more of one. Box art above, screens below with a bit of game info from the press release. Loyal hunting dog, Elmer Fudd cap and orange safety vest not included.

3D Dot Game Heroes Gets Updated... Now With Sackboy!

Atlus has released a great update to its excellent retro action RPG, 3D Dot Game Heroes. Players who already own the game as well as those new to the awesomeness will find a nice surprise in the form of over 50 new playable character models including Little Big Planet's popular Sackboy. Additionally, the game will feature a couple of fixes and tweaks... but you'll have to click below to read that part!

R.I.P.: Project Milo 2009-2010

According to reports, Lionhead Studios 'Project Milo' for Microsoft's upcoming Kinect peripheral has been canceled and some 19 staff members have been laid off from the developer. The innovative game (or at least an impressive working tech demo) was first shown at E3 2009 where many were floored by the lifelike interaction between the titular character and a Lionhead staffer. While it's clear that development on the project had obviously gone on after that showing, what's unclear is why such a high profile potential killer app was killed off before updated information or perhaps some sort of commercial demo could have been released.

No official completion or release date were ever announced for the project. Nevertheless the game was supposed to be a key future title in Microsoft's growing Kinect lineup. In fact, after the 2009 E3 showing, it was easy to poke around a few too many message boards and find many gamers interested in Kinect precisely for Milo. News reports state that Lionhead may end up using elements of the project in its upcoming RPG sequel, Fable III, but we'll have to wait for updated info on this before speculating any further.

Sega Launches Dreamcast Classics Over PSN, XBLA

Boom. That's all you need to know, folks.

OK, OK I'll toss in a few details...

Sonic Adventure NOW (and Crazy Taxi in November) available over PSN or Xbox Live are the first two games in Sega's re-master plan to capture the hearts and minds of gamers young and old while keeping that classic Sega flame alive and kicking amongst us hardcore Sega-philes out there. Sega is also promising even more titles are coming soon (yes!) and I'm definitely all for that. I'm gathering The new DC line will consist of Sega-produced titles only, so I'm hoping to see a few racers in the lineup (Daytona USA, Ferrari F355 Challenge) along with Sonic Adventure 2 and maybe even a RPG or two (Skies of Arcadia, anyone?)
