He might be all out of bubblegum, but Duke Nukem is – finally – back. After a lifetime in development hell following his early 32-bit era escapades in Duke Nukem 3D and its various expansion packs (not to mention a few trips to console platforms of yesteryear) the man himself is set to return to PC and make a formal arrival on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 with Duke Nukem Forever.
You might recall Duke as a babe-lovin’, cigar-smoking, beer-chugging and ass-kicking kind of guy and he’s back in 2011 – 15 years after his last major appearance – as he saves the Earth and

Custom gaming gear is always bonus for anyone particularly keen on a certain game. PC users can splash out on game-specific keyboard and mouse combis, while console gamers get special controllers, like guitars, wands and something that looks like it was crowbarred off an arcade game cabinet.
Originally announced at PAC, the Special Edition Chun Li Fightsticks were intended to be the most limited collector’s edition aimed at Street Fighter fans, and with a production run of just 2000 units these controllers are ideal for for both collectors and players.

If you use a PC and a games console you have probably noticed how much more comfortable gaming is with a controller than with a keyboard and mouse. PlayStation 3 consoles in particular have custom designed controllers that have been conceived and developed for PS3 owners to get the most out of games without putting too much strain on their hands and arms. Given that many games are also available for PC, it would make sense for a standard PC game controller to be developed.
While this has yet to occur, it is nevertheless possible to use an Xbox 360 controller with your Windows 7

How many times have you missed appointments, nights out and even dates because you were enjoying a game of Halo just that little bit too much?

Sucker Punch’s sequel to one of the best Playstation 3 titles, Infamous 2, is looking better than ever. Very few gameplay videos have been shown but it is very impressive to say the least.
The video that we have, is similar to one that has already been seen. The protagonist, Cole, is running through the city which is being attacked by winged demons. There are definitely some similarities, but there are some differences as well.
Powerlines light up, indicating that you can ride them Graphics have improved There’s a bat battle at the beginning Buildings were destroyed

Sony has made it now official that it will be indeed launching a Move machine gun that should give you a more realistic shooting experience with its intuitive and balanced control. The Machine Gun will be a part of the move bundle and while we would have loved to play around with it by Christmas, it seems that the wait will have to continue for a bit longer. While Sony has made the official announcement, you can get your hands on the gun by February next year.
Of course, that is just a couple of months away and this should really excite everyone who is hooked on to the shooter

According to the latest issue of Official Playstation Magazine. We’ve seen crossovers in fighting games before(Link/Heihachi/Spawn in Soul Calibur 2, Vader/Yoda in Soul Calibur 4, Marvel vs Capcom series etc…) and this is looking to be a great one.
Kratos will appear on the Playstation 3 version of the game and will have his own set of moves, fatalities, and even a God of War themed level for everyone to beat each other senseless on. Kratos will not be selectable in the story mode, but being that he’s not apart of the original cast, that makes sense.
