Do you love the wastelands of 'Fallout'? Regularly waste hours killing necromancers in 'Elder Scrolls'? Can't wait to snipe baddies in 'Rage'? Your author, personally, says an emphatic "yes" to all, but that doesn't mean she's willing to birth a baby in Bethesda's honor. In support of the newest 'Elder Scrolls', dubbed 'Skyrim', anyone who has a child on its release date of 11/11/11 and names it ...

According to Joystiq, six Dutch gamers set a new Guinness World Record after playing 'Red Dead Redemption' last weekend for 50 hours straight. For their show of endurance, the men each received $1,300, a Twistdock connector for the PlayStation 3, their names etched in the Guinness Book and probably some slight bladder or kidney damage along with a dose of carpal-tunnel syndrome. The men began the ...

Last month, Sony released the first 3-D games for its Playstation 3 console. Now, according to Joystiq, a firmware update to be released in September will allow the PS3 to play 3-D Blu-ray movies. It should be stated, though, that for now the only 3-D Blu-ray title on the market is the kids' film 'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs,' and gamers probably won't be snatching those up. But, as more ...

Since we know it's nigh impossible to survive a summer without those charming hunks of steel that are the 'Transformers,' and since the next movie won't be released for a whole year, we're here to help by giving away one PlayStation 3 copy of the newly released 'Transformers: War for Cybertron.' This third-person shooter puts you on the side of either the Autobots or the Decepticons as they battle ...

Assaulted by a major sensory overload, we felt like we saw so much (and missed even more) at this year's E3. With everyone justly excited about 'Zelda' and 'Halo: Reach', a couple lesser hyped titles caught our eye as we perused the aisles. Here's a list of some hidden gems we unearthed, hopefully giving you a leg up on gameplay, before one of these might go on to win Game of the Year. ...

It's nearly impossible to exaggerate the supreme and unequivocal command that Nintendo holds over the ridiculous, abysmal and periodically awesome add-on market. The company's dominance began decades ago with 'Duck Hunt,' the Power Glove and the Roll & Rocker, and the Wii's motion controllers have only bolstered Nintendo's preeminent peripheral standing. Now that both Sony and Microsoft ...

Well, Microsoft already unveiled its motion game controller, Kinect, so now it's Sony's turn to show off the Move. And be warned, Xboxers, Playstation is looking to put serious pressure on the 'box. The Move will initially land on European store shelves on September 15th, and American shores just a few days later on September 19th. But better than the short wait time is the perfectly reasonable ...

For the first time ever, gamers will be able to stream live Major League Baseball (MLB) games on their Playstation 3 consoles.

Share Although still in the early stages, 2010 is already developing into a monumental year for video games.

New copies of those mega-hyped games will cost $50 to $60, though, so gamers may be ...

What's Going On? Share The geek meltdown that began last night continues unabated this evening as Sony plods through its PlayStation quagmire, largely due to 2010 being mislabeled as a leap year. The ordeal started when clocks rolled over to March 1st and older (non-PS3 Slim) PlayStation owners began experiencing a myriad of bizarre and unfixable problems, including blocked access to the ...

You might have seen our earlier report that, thanks to 2010 being mislabeled as a leap year in the code of some PlayStation 3s, some gamers were experiencing crashes and errors, and were unable to access the PlayStation Network. Well, things just got a lot more interesting -- and scary. The word, direct from Sony, is that owners of non-slim model PS3s should refrain from turning on their consoles ...

Ever wonder what 'The Graduate' would look like if Todd Solondz took a crack at remaking it? We sure have, and we think we found our answer in Oklahoma. After her 14-year-old son suddenly disappeared, an Oklahoma City mother was understandably worried. When he finally returned home, though, things got even weirder. That's because he came back with 43-year-old Annamay Alexander, who claimed to ...
