Neverdead Brings the Oddball to Xbox and PS3

What is Neverdead?

It's a third person action game starring... Bryce Boltzman. I. Love. That. Name.

Anyway, the game looks pretty cool and feels like a DMC-ish romp with plentiful demon slaying and a slightly off kilter protagonist. Named Bryce Boltzman.

Xbox LIVE Update -- 'Undead, Bloody, and Haunted' Edition

Halloween flavored update this week on LIVE as we get couple of ghastly Arcade titles and Undead Nightmare for RDR. The Hot Pursuit demo is up too if cops and robbers is more your thing.

The Smurfs invade Farmville... Kinda.

Have you ever been playing Farmville and thought 'I wish there were a couple of Smurfs in here'? Well sit right back and enjoy friends because your day has arrived.

Capcom has been brewing up an iPhone/iPad game to go along with next summer's Smurfs live action movie and... wait... live acti...

Oh sorry, I had some technical difficulties there for a sec *ahem* The game doesn't really have anything to do with the movie from what I can see. It's pretty standard building, farming, and socializing stuff- just with a Smurfy flair. Nice cartoon look though.

Smurfs will be out next month on the App store for free.

PSP2 Details Continue to Leak Out

If this is true, it's going to be one hell of a little powerhouse.

Reportedly, the PSP2 will have superior processing power to the Xbox 360! And that's not all- Duel analog sticks (yay!) and a touch pad make for a very attractive package overall. What's not so great is that Sony is alledgedly continuing it's push towards download only titles.

That's right, according to a report by Kotaku, UMD is gone and there's nothing to replace it- PSN or bust for the future of the PSP is looking very likely at this point.

Personally, I can't stand it. I need physical disc's. Not to mention that you can forget about used games and buy 2 get 2 at your local store. Then there's also the fact that this puts the nail in the coffin of backwards compatibilty for the PSP line. Did the PSP Go really do that well to support the DLC only plan Sony was looking for?

The answer is 'no', so this really makes no sense. At all. I suppose Sony is thinking that the lure of a portable juggernaut will make people forget all of the downfalls of discless games. Nothing is even close to final so I guess we'll see...
