Okay, so it’s not really news but this is just too good not to share. SNK released their 2D fighter Garou: Mark of the Wolves onto Xbox Live Arcade this weekend and while bringing nostalgic play it also brings with it some ludicrously nonsensical wording. Heading to the Marketplace and selecting the title will present you with the summary/description and, for your reading pleasure, is prese... more.

Vigil Games is a very new developer on the block and Darksiders will be their debut game later this year. From the looks of the trailer it appears that Vigil is starting out strong. In Darksiders we’ll get to play out the end of times as one of the four horseman of the apocalypse who have been stripped of their powers. The setting is a post-apocalyptic world where now heaven and hell ar... more.

We’ve been salivating over developer Frozenbyte’s side-scrolling platformer Trine for the better part of 2009, and hopefully we should be able to get our hands on the game in a couple of weeks or so. But we also hope that in the meantime, the game can clear up its pricing issues. Shacknews reports that while the PS3 version of Trine will sell for $20, PC gamers would have to cough up ... more.

We’ve been waiting and waiting for the sequel to one of Blizzard’s hottest titles of all time and waiting patiently as we know great things come with time. But if you have been waiting and assuming that LAN functionality would be a part of StarCraft II now is the time to stop waiting. That’s because according to Rob Pardo, Blizzard’s VP of Game Design, they “don̵... more.

Sony are adamant that, despite coming in a distant third, the PlayStation 3 is a serious contender and one that in a year or so will dominate gaming with its raw, over-priced horsepower. Sales of their exclusive titles, a key driver to unit sales, tell a different story. Sony’s only exclusive may actually be hubris if these figures are anything to go by. GameSetWatch’s bean counter Ma... more.

It’s going to be one the biggest releases of the year due to its heritage and fevering fan base but that doesn’t mean Halo 3: ODST is going to rest on its laurels. Instead of just giving Halo 3 a new lick of paint and calling it a new game Bungie are going to mix-up the formula to include some non-linear open-world elements. Speaking to The Seattle Times, creative director and writer ... more.

The Fourth of July in America is a time to celebrate freedom and independence. For America it was freedom from oppressors, for LittleBigPlanet it’s freedom from high prices. The people at Media Molecule will be offering The Sacktue of Liberty costume for free on PSN on July 2 for a limited time. Notice how the crown, dress and torch are clearly made from cardboard. It may not be as sturdy a... more.

Test Drive Unlimited 2 is in development, did you know? I sure as hell didn’t. Makes you wonder how in the world something you enjoyed immensely and wanted a sequel for gets a confirmation of one without you knowing absolutely nothing about it. And apparently no one else on the TVGB crew heard nothing about it either. Weirdness at its finest ladies and gents. Apparently the confirmation hap... more.

Countdowns. We’re torn between two camps here at TVGB. Part of us loves the anticipation of a good tease and the wild speculation that goes along with it, while the other half screams “stop messing with us and just announce the damn game, fools!” The reason for this renewed internal anguish is that both Capcom and Square Enix have opened up (and since updated) countdown/tease si... more.

A couple days ago we found out about Xbox 360 beta testing and could only guess about what it was for. Well now we have the answer: The beta testing is being used to test an avatar award program prior to its official release. According to Joystiq, when an in-game goal is achieved the player may be rewarded with avatar customization apparel (ie: clothes for your mini-me to wear). While I’m s... more.
