I have read on forums and experienced some issues myself in receiving the Skylanders’ achievement entitled: “Gotta Buy Them All”. There are several youtube clips showing some trickery for swapping your save files which I have not yet tried. I contacted Activision explaining the situation: I have maxed out the abilities on several Skylanders that [...]

Didn’t Sony learn anything from fellow Japanese, corporate giant Toyota?  You can’t hide behind vague language or impose a media blackout when you have a potentially serious issue (like a sticking accelerator pedal or a massive leak of your subscription base’s personal information) because you are afraid of the PR hit you’ll take.  As Toyota [...]

Your console of choice just got a whole lot sweeter!  Now available on Netflix’ Instant Queue is the full series of the re-imagined SyFy original, Battlestar Galactica, possibly the greatest TV drama ever.  When my obsession first hit a year and a half ago, I would have killed another human being to have the entirety [...]

Ah, the Wii.  Barely utilizes enough bandwidth to properly run as it does is now seeking a TV Channel to stream television content on to–get this–your TV through the Wii!

This may or may not be the full and final setlist, but RockBandAide has decoded the small, blurry text from a now removed YouTube video in which a Harmonix employee was scrolling through the setlist on a Rock Band 3 demo station.

Studio Ghibli is responsible for some of my favorite all-time animated features and they are collaborating with Level-5 to make a Nintendo DS and PS3 game called Ni no Kuni.

XBLA’s deal of the week delivers a bounty of Mega-awesomeness this week. Mega Man 10 for 50% off (meaning it will cost you a fiver). There are some other deals too, but they can’t possibly compare to the awesomeness of retro, Mega gaming glory. Links: XBLA Deal of the Week Major Nelson’s deal of the [...]

DC Universe Online…the game that might bring me into MMOs?  Could a console gamer make that jump, is it possible?  If only the subscription cost were to disappear, perhaps because said console gamer was a subscriber to the platform’s internet service?  PSN+, that would absorb the cost of a monthly subscription to such an anticipated [...]

As this post’s title suggests, there is new media out courtesy of the game’s Japanese Web site, stoking the flames of excitement towards Metroid: Other M’s upcoming release.

DC Universe Online, also known as “the reason I bought a PS3″,  has been given a release date of November 2010.  The only MMO I’ve ever considered playing and I have some pretty lofty expectations for it.  I’m eagerly awaiting E3 to hear further details, like whether or not there will be a subscription fee [...]

EA Sports announced their plans for what they call “Online Pass” last month, saying that they would first implement it in Tiger Woods 11.  What Online Pass does is only grant access to online play if you are the first person to activate it on your copy of the game.  In other words, if you have [...]

Reading magazines and books on the toilet is about to take a a backseat to leg-numbing amounts of RPG gaming.  Dragon Quest IX for the Nintendo DS, which has sold upwards of 3 billion copies in Japan, is heading to the States on July 11, 2010, according to Nintendo.com. Pre-orders are being taken, though it [...]

I’ve seen a story floating around the interwebs about a patch BioWare has released for Mass Effect 2 in regards to the mineral collection mini-game.  Now featured: a larger, faster reticule allowing for more efficient resource scavenging.
