A *real* Spider-Man trailer: “Web of Shadows”
So we were teasing earlier today, when we blogged about the new Spider-Man 4 movie trailer. But check out the trailer for the upcoming Web of Shadows Spidey video game, which debuts later this month. We watch this and wish that Spider-Man 3 was half as good as this trailer suggests WoS will be.

Cool new “Tekken 6″ trailer makes us wanna FIGHT!
Dig this sweet trailer for Tekken 6, which will arrive on the PS3 and XBox 360 consoles next fall. Sure, that’s a long time to wait for such pit-fighting badassery, but this vid makes us think our patience will pay off.
Watch closely and you’ll see some surreal competitors, including kangaroos, chubby men (we can identify) [...]
“Bayonetta” game footage arouses … our curiosity
Oh, brother — we’ve seen the lastest trailer/game footage from Sega’s upcoming Bayonetta, and we’ve totally regressed to pre-teen boy drool mode. And trust us: it ain’t entirely because of the graphics and spectacular-looking game play.
Devil May Cry director Hideki Kamiya is helming this project, and it looks a lot like Devil (which is totally [...]
Upcoming game “PowerUp Forever” is never-ending awesomeness
Oh wow. This looks really frickin’ cool.
The name of the game is PowerUp Forever, and according to the good folks over at Kotaku, it’s a “never ending , bullet-hell shoot-em up” in which “you play your way through procedurally generated environments trying to take on bosses bigger than you to evolve. As you grow, so [...]

“Punch-Out!” comes to the Wii, and we say “wheee!”
Not too long ago, we were overwhelmed by 8-bit NEStalgia and wondered what the cast for a Punch-Out! movie would look like. Thankfully, Nintendo announced a far better way for us to celebrate the awesomest boxing game evar: Punch-Out is coming to the Wii platform!
Dig this game footage below. (RSS readers, click here.) Watch as [...]
Rock Band 2’s “merch girls” dig girls, confirms game writer
My dear friend (and gamer extraordinaire) Rachael Webster recently discovered what she thought was a glitch in Rock Band 2. She plays a girl rocker in the blockbuster game, and became groovy enough to earn a “merch girl” — a zealous band staffer who helps sells swag at shows.
According to the game, a merch girl [...]

The strange story of the leopard and the baboon
This video is five minutes long — a bit of a haul for you guys with short attention spans — but we think it’s an incredible story, worth every pixelated second.
It’s the peculiar tale of a leopard on the hunt, stalking her most elusive prey: an adult baboon. Baboons travel in “troops” of around 50 [...]
“Little Big Planet” Level 1 footage spotted in the wild
Sigh. We’ve done everything we can to NOT add to the Little Big Planet hype — we’ve ignored story after story about the video game and its disgustingly cute (and omnipresent!) hackysack-headed hero. But even we LBP haters had to break our chilly vow of silence when actual game footage was released.
Fourteen minutes of gameplay [...]

Grand Theft Auto debuts on Intellivision system!
I remember commercials like this from my ill-spent, early ’80s youth.
Like the game it promotes, this commercial isn’t for kids. Rated M for Mature.

Activision (thankfully) rejects “Guitar Hero” movie concept; WTF, Brett Ratner?
Brett Ratner, the blockbuster director behind the Rush Hour movies, Red Dragon and X-Men: The Last Stand, may very well have lost his mind. Thankfully, video game company Activision is providing some much-needed sanity for the filmmaker. We hope.
For months, Ratner has jonesed to make a Guitar Hero movie, and has been pretty gabby about [...]
Screw Wii Fit — dig WoW Fit
Run, run, run, run. Any World of Warcraft veteran will tell you that traveling in that mystical realm requires a lot of running. But have you ever wondered what it would be like to run that same speed and distance … in real life? Behold an experiment created by two WoW players, complete with treadmills [...]

Become A Myxer Friend!
Very cool. Now I know what influenced Katey Segal's bad ass biker mom style. 
Excuse me if I do not get a gushy about a game that celebrates killing more brown folks. 
That was pretty cool. I even retraced several times going back and forth from one picture to the other and ...
