StarCraft II’s minigame has been revealed, and it’s none other than Blizzard’s original game, The Lost Vikings, albeit with a new theme.
StarCraft II arrived yesterday, and if you didn’t already know, it’s subtitled “Wings of Liberty” and focuses on the Terran campaigns, with two expansion packs planned that will focus on the Zerg and Protoss, respectively.
Don’t worry parents, the federal government and video games will take it from here. It was recently announced that the federal government is funding a project that will help teenage girls resist peer pressure to have sex before they’re ready. The project comes in the form of a social simulator, and will place players in the shoes of an average teenage girl at a mall, movie theater, and other popular teen hangouts, resisting an onslaught of boys out to steal their innocence.
Well, maybe that’s not entirely fair. But you get the idea…
Well, that isn’t something you every day. Ninja Theory co-founder Tameem Antoniades has said that he feels story is more important than gameplay. Furthermore, he said, “if you get it right, both story and gameplay can be elevated.”
Alan Wake’s The Signal DLC is available today. Yeah, this is a news bulletin for everyone who isn’t buying and playing StarCraft II.
So if you haven’t heard, StarCraft II releases today. It only took 12 years, but the big game is here, finally, and you can just hear the weight of South Korea shifting as millions shuffle to gaming stores to begin losing their lives in Blizzard’s beautifully-crafted, RTS world.
It’s been a long time coming, and the Korean’s aren’t the only people who are truly excited about the game’s release today – no, from Brisbane to Moscow to Paris to California, fans are lining up in sheer joy. Check out some of these images below, courtesy of Kotaku, that show just how excited people really are for StarCraft II’s release today.
This is a BIG, BIG rumor and should be taken as such, but the rumor is, Grand Theft Auto V is going to be set in Hollywood. Yes, the Hollywood. As in tinseltown. As in movie stars.

LIMBO tells the story of a young boy who is trying to find his sister in a dark, danger-fraught world. It is primarily a puzzle adventure above all else, and it is beautifully designed, gorgeously executed, and incredibly rewarding.
DarksStar One: Broken Alliance is a game that’s tailor-made for gamers who grew up playing PC games. It features a complex universe with a trade system, and excellent space combat, but it will push the patience of the majority of console gamers with its slow pacing and economy-based gameplay.
I might not watch football much these days, but I’m still a fan of the Madden NFL series. There’s just nothing quite like the feeling of being down six points with ten seconds left on the clock and bombing the ball eighty yards down field in a last ditch hail Mary to win the game. But if there’s one thing that bothered me about the franchise as a whole, it’s that the developers always feel the need to minimze your achievements, as if it wasn’t impressive to get a shutout Superbowl win after an undefeated season on All Madden difficulty. It’s as if the game was saying “Nice job winning the Superbowl. Here’s a packet of confetti. Sprinkle it on yourself and go home.” This is one issue that seems to have been addressed in Madden NFL 11.
Throughout history, two fighting fighting series have stood head and shoulders above the rest. Street Fighter, when it was released back in the 80s, took the world by storm, popularizing a relatively new genre. The game went unrivaled until almost a decade later, when Tekken exploded onto the world scene. Ever since, fans of the two series have been at each others’ throats, locked in a battle to decide which franchise was better. Unfortunately, neither fan base has had the chance to win a clear-cut victory over the other…until now.
There’s no contest. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was, without a doubt, the best title released on the N64. It may just be the greatest adventure title to date. There are even people who argue that it’s the best game ever. With the game having enjoyed such monstrous success, it’s only natural that gamers worldwide should be excited for the title’s 3D makeover, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D.
You would have thought that the newest installment in the Medal of Honor series was being developed by Digital Illusions Creative Entertainment (DICE), right? It only seems natural, what with all of the credit being paid to them and the fact that anybody who bought either of the company’s latest titles, Battlefield 1943 or Battlefield Bad Company 2, got access to the game’s beta when they pre-ordered the game. Apparently that’s not the case.

Microsoft’s Kinect is, without a doubt, the most innovative motion control peripheral in development, with some industry professionals even going so far as to say that the Wii and Playstation’s Move are the same thing. But despite the massive hype that Kinect is building, it appears that many gamers just aren’t interested in motion control. A recent poll conducted by NowGamer shows some disturbing information for Microsoft.

A video posted earlier this morning, which can be seen below, fired up rumors that Activision was, indeed, going to begin using a subscription plan for Call of Duty. The video shows a user trying to sign into a game with his friends when a menu for a subscription plan surfaced on the screen. Suspicious? Definitley. But, Activision has vehemently denied that a subscription plan is coming to Call of Duty.
