Intel is providing FarCry 2 gamers with 3 free hours of additional content exclusively from their Game On website. The missions are nothing extraordinary but certainly bring additional depth to the plot, and what the hell: they’re free.

And pretty much nails it. I can’t tell you how disappointed my son was with Spore. He goofed around with the Creature Creator back during IC LAN 2008, and absolutely fell in love with it. We agreed back in September that Spore was to be his reward if he got on the honor roll. He […] Add comment

Depth of Peril has a lot of great, even innovative, ideas behind it. The genre combination it represents are the types of revolutions that potentially define new genres, and turn others on their ears. As a student of game theory and design, I find this a fascinating experiment. It’s too bad that it’s so awful […] Add comment

Today TechwareLabs takes a look a microtransations in the context of gaming. Specifically, they look at how some companies have gotten in right and others have screwed the pooch. One of the companies they call out as Doin it Rong is Microsoft with their MS Points system. I can agree to an extent – when […] Add comment
No seriously. Okay, so they absolutely ripped off people, criminally so, and took investors’ cash at the beginning of the 21st century to make the “Phantom Game Console,” a product which completely and utterly failed to materialize. Then, a few years back they announced they were changing their name from Infinium Labs to Phantom Entertainment, […] Add comment

I would review Playstation Home, but why bother? Basically what you need to know about Playstation Home is this: Boring. Tycho tells it better than I ever could. Add comment
I remember vividly when the Nintendo Game Boy came out. I was 12 years old, and the kids down the street got one. I was so jealous. Dreams of Tetris and Super Mario Land haunted me. I schemed ways to buy my own Game Boy or at least get down to my friends’ house at […] Add comment
Spoiler alert! Over at the Capcom-Unity blog, they showcased a piece of fan art that serves a purpose: Notice one important detail: It shows each boss’s weakness. That’s awesome fan art. CyberMoonStudios has a few more up on their DeviantArt page. Add comment
Nothing has brought the Icrontic community closer together than Team Fortress 2 in the last year. Seriously, if you don’t own this game yet, you are missing out on one hell of a great time. For $10 this is an ASTOUNDING value, because Valve keeps adding content for free. Just yesterday, they released some upgrades […] Add comment
Oh my, that was unexpected. Suddenly the TF2 official blog is updated, and I noticed my Steam update icon working just now, and found an update for TF2 downloading. I tracked down the update notes and found, to my delight, some very special info. Major updates to Engie and a major nerf to Demoman: The […] Add comment
Just last week we talked excitedly about Dragon Quest IX being dual-platform released for both Nintendo DS and Wii. Well skip all that, because Giant Bomb is reporting that a low-key press event in Tokyo (translation) revealed that Dragon Quest X has been announced as a Wii exclusive. At a press event that took place […] Add comment
Most of this week’s releases are ports, so there isn’t much to discuss. The biggest releases are Sonic Unleashed for the PS3 (Came to the XBox360 two weeks ago), Prince of Persia for the PC (Released for PS3 and XBox360 last week) and Rock Band 2 for the PS2 (released a couple of months ago […] Add comment

The casual of the day is the beta version of Mirror’s Edge 2D. The 2D Flash version of the EA hit was made by Brad Borne and is currently in beta. Brad Borne is the developer behind Fancy Pants World, another great Flash game. Apparently the minds behind Mirror’s Edge were sufficiently impressed with Brad’s […] Add comment
There is so much stuff being given away for free on the web lately. I would love to see an Icrontian win something. First up we have EA’s “Show us your Dead Space scaredy face” contest – take a pic of your most “frightened” look and win. Prizes include a stand-up of the lead character, […] Add comment
Sometimes you get bored, and while flipping through the Xbox Live Arcade, you see something that, against your better judgment, you decide to try out.
