No doubt you’ve heard Icrontic talk about Pandemic Studios’ upcoming stealth action game The Saboteur, which is set during the 1940s in beautiful Nazi-occupied Paris, France. You play as professional Irish race car driver Sean Devlin as he joins the French resistance to fight against the Nazi threat from behind enemy lines. The game is […]

Pandemic Studios have released a trailer for their upcoming WW2 stealth sandbox The Saboteur. The Saboteur trailer 720p from Icrontic.com on Vimeo. Icrontic will have a hands-on exclusive at E3. After seeing what I’ve seen already, and watching the trailer, I can’t wait to play this game. It looks awesome!

Taking a cue from some other game, EA announced today that there will be a “Community Challenge” in their upcoming Battlefield 1943: When 43 million kills are racked up globally, a new map called Coral Sea will become unlocked for everyone. This brings up an interesting mechanic that I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of; […]

No, not the ground up green horseradish paste. That’s already here. Gametech, based in Japan, are bringing their brand of Japanese-styled peripherals to America starting with a showing at E3 next week. Normally, I don’t give a second glance as these emails from these small companies come in (and trust me, dear readers, we get […]

Nothing that Valve has done with TF2 has caused as much controversy as the change last night; unlockables are randomly found and are no longer based on skill or achievements. What do you think?

To celebrate, Valve will be offering TF2 for free in one of their “Free Weekend” deals so that new players can experience the awesomeness that is Team Fortress 2 over the long weekend. The […]

The Razorback. A back shield with a car battery and a 10,000 volt shock. As a spy, this worries me. I know for a fact that I will feel the bite of the razorback far too often for my liking. I can hear Prag’s gleeful titter as he casually lines up his shots to pick […]

Looks like there’s a new game mode in the pipeline for Day 2 of the Sniper Update. Heh. The new game mode is Payload Race—Where each team has to push a cart up a hill (and it will slide back down if not pushed), while trying to stop the other team from doing the same. […]

Alright fine, I went for the sensational headline that probably isn’t true; I can’t say that G.R.R.M actually stopped writing to work on games, but the dude will find ANY excuse to postpone the next book. Call me a sensationalistic journalist, that’s fine. This may come as a huge shock to fans; but our pal […]

Let’s have a go at it! The first sniper update has been announced: The Huntsman The Huntsman is a bow that will be an instant crit for headshots, stick foes to the wall, and leave an arrow embedded in them. One full ammo load is 18 arrows, and the bow has a 1 second charge […]

This time, the little girl in your life will get requests for make up creations tied to certain events and outfits, mostly centered around going on dates with boys (as opposed to getting […]

If you’ve been even remotely familiar with Nintendo over the years, you are familiar with Animal Crossing. Some call it a kids’ game, some find it a fun and casual way to while away a few idle hours, and at least one calls it a vessel for memories from his departed mother. The original was […]

Say it ain’t so! After 12 years of development — which may or may not have outlived humanity — it seems 3D Realms is shuttering, and Duke Nukem Forever is going with it.
