The surprise of E3 is often ruined for me.  One way or another I’m told of what is going to be there and what isn’t.  Most of the time these are merely rumors floating around on the internet, but sometimes these rumors come true.
E3.net has a list going of supposed games to be on display […]

    I received a reply from Harmonix today regarding the “Gouge Away” censorship on Dootlittle.  Here’s what they said:
“Hey Dominic,
A variety of factors go into decisions on censoring lyrics. Contexts for the words themselves vary from song to song, different bands and different labels have differing requirements when it comes to radio edits. Because we […]

The Street Fighter II HD Remix beta released this morning for those who purchased the full version of Commandos 3 on XBLA.  And I have to say that the only reason I bought Commandos 3 was because of the special beta opportunity.  C3 did peak my interest when originally announced but I probably would’ve passed […]

I don’t get it. Words like blunt, weed or marijuana are often censored on the radio. Yet songs such as Weezer’s “‘Hash Pipe” go unedited without a problem. Here again I find myself a little upset with the selective censorship, but this time it’s in my damn […]

Raiders of the Lost Limbo

Limbo of the Lost is one of those PC games you find while browsing through the game section at Wal-mart. You pick it up and wonder, “Who would ever buy this?” Then you put it down and never think of it again. Chances are you’ve never even heard […]

Guitar Hero Aersomith Set List Revealed

    I never really understood why Activision went with Aerosmith as their first band centric Guitar Hero.  They’ve got some pretty decent songs but I definitely couldn’t say that I’m a fan.  But who do you know that fits the Guitar Hero demographic that says Aerosmith is their favorite band?  When I think of Aerosmith […]

No Host Advantage in Gears 2

When Gears 2 was announced I was really excited. One of my favorite games of 2006 was getting a sequel! There were a few details released shortly after the announcement, but none mentioned a change to the host advantage. The excitement quickly died. If you’ve been lucky […]

Today marks the release of the full retail version of Spore’s Creature Creator.  A highly anticipated release for an even more anticipated game.  The free trial version with only 25% of the creature parts has been available since the 16th, but the full retail version is available for the fee of $9.95.
With the full verision […]

    As some Kotaku readers may already know, Norwegian band Turbonegro was the first band rumored to be featured on Harmonix’s upcoming Rock Band sequel (ya know, the sequel not officially announced but we all know is coming).  Rumors thickened as the band’s manager Rune Grønn signed  deals for Turbonegro to appear in Guitar Hero, […]
