Among the slew of titles Electronic Arts decided to show the press at yesterday’s showcase was Boogie Superstar for the Wii, the upcoming girl-centric follow up to last year’s Boogie. The game features dancing, singing, and — let’s be reasonable — is not exactly our demographic. 
So it’s a good thing we snuck in with our […]

Ah, pictures on the internet. You can’t really trust them, can you? Sometimes wishful thinking (and a bit of Photoshop) can get the best of our imaginations. We could hope this picture (below the jump) is real. Unfortunately I don’t think it is.

Take a guess how many expansion packs there have been since Electronic Arts released The Sims 2 some four years ago? Go on, guess. I’ll wait. 
Answer: seven. There have been seven expansion packs available at retail for The Sims 2. EA is a huge fan of even numbers, and will be releasing the eighth and […]

By now, I’m sure you’ve seen just about every character and celebrity under the sun in Soulcalibur 4 form, thanks to their robust character creation system. Hell, you’ve even seen their panties already. But this video collection was too good to pass on.
Japanese game blog gamedunga (kickass name!) points us to this awesome lineup of […]

I hadn’t heard of THQ’s upcoming Nintendo DS battle/puzzler Dropcast until the screens and fact sheet just landed in our mail box, but I’m definitely intrigued. The game features a maladjusted little girl who brings her imaginary stuff animal friends to life, teaching them devastating magic spells. 
OK, so this closely mirrors my childhood, which would […]

This isn’t the first we’re hearing about Devo tracks coming to Rock Band, but here’s a good confirmation: next week’s DLC will include two Devo songs, both re-recorded by the band for the game. "Girl U Want" and "Through Being Cool" will be available for 160 MS Points ($1.99 a piece) next Tuesday on Xbox […]
