Here’s another quick look I’m trying to think of the last time I’ve been this excited for aMonster Huntergame. Don’t get me wrong! It was a blast waiting forWorld, to see how Capcom brought the series into the current generation.ButRisefeels different. It feels like an evolution in some ways, especially with the varied terrain and the addition of the Palamute dog companion; but it’s also the simplicity of it being on one platform (which makes it super easy to team up with people, since everyone is on the same page)....

Arecent studyhas been filtering through the Blogocube which suggests that violent games dramatically affect the heart rate and sleep patterns of children. The study charges kids — aged between 12 and 15 — with playing a non-violent game and a violent game. They are the studied using science, which provides bounty. The violent game is said to increase heart rate significantly when compared to the non-violent one. I would consider this a no-brainer, since violent games tend to be a bit more exciting....

Alright, what’s going on here? First we told you of a rumor, apparently started by Enterbrain/Famitsu’s Hirokazu Hamamura, that anew Nintendo DS redesignmay show up at this year’s E3. Then, a few days later,Nintendo PR denied the rumor. Now Hamamura claims that he never said anything of the sort! It all started last week when Bloomberg Japan reported on a seminar hosted by Hamamura. They reported that it was possible that Nintendo would announce a new version of the DS hardware at E3 2008....

Ignore the first minute. Although cool, the first section of this trailer for upcoming Nintendo DS gameCastlevania: Order of Ecclesiais just random, gothic images flashing over a dramatic score.

So, I’m one of those people who considers Nine Inch Nails to be one of their favorite artists of all time. To take that a step further as a musician, Trent Reznor is one of the most inspiring people in the world to me. It looks likeInverse Phasewould agree, as he’s just released his Kickstarted project that was funded last year (before it was cool),Pretty Eight Machine. Recorded on eight 8-bit systems configured to the sound bytes of games and consoles (like theMetal Gear 2andCastlevania 3cartridges, for example),Pretty Eight Machineis a complete re-imagining of Nine Inch Nails’ first full-length LP,Pretty Hate Machine....

The only way to make Bowser more badass is to make him out of leather. Megan did just that and he has never looked cooler. It’s like the exact opposite of the Mario cartoon version of Bowser.
