Don't Mess With Me, Pork Chop

by Rainier on April 10, 2010 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under MOTD

The Konami Gamers Day on Thursday was interesting. There was a sneak peek of the new Silent Hill game, which was nothing more than a teaser that promised more detail would come at E3. Guess we'll have to wait until then. We did, however, get to sit down with the Castlevania people and managed to get an interesting interview, so keep an eye out for that sometime next week.

This weekend will be spent eating and watching TV, two of our favorite pastimes. Today we have a late lunch/early dinner engagement with some friends/co-workers we haven't seen in a long time, and on Sunday, we have a birthday celebration, so more eating is involved. Luckily, neither occasion involves us strapping on the apron, so we're quite happy about that.

'Gears Of War 3' (X360) Confirmed By Leaked Ad

by Rainier on April 9, 2010 @ 3:52 p.m. PDT | Filed under News

Microsoft has inadvertently leaked the existence of Gears Of War 3 by prematurely running a Gears of War 3 ad on Xbox Live. What was probably supposed to coincide with Epic's Cliff Bleszinski's announcement during the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, which was postponed last minute until next week, the Gears of War 3 existence is not really much of a surprise. According to the advert, the next installment in Epic Games' action series is currently scheduled for release in April 2011.
