Does anybody remember Infinium Labs? You know, the folks that hyped their uber-awesome home console to end all home consoles, the Phantom, hyped since 2002, destined to never actually be released, only to be replaced by the equally awesome (so too awesome for words, right?) Phantom Lapboard? Yeah, that's the Infinium Labs I'm talking about. [...]

He may be old enough to be your grandpa, but Bernie Stolar knows games (most of the time), and his resume over the decades leaves most in awe. President of Atari during their glory days? Bernie. First president of the SCEA? Bernie, again. The President largely responsible for the Dreamcast's successful launch (who was mysteriously [...]

Psyonix Studios dropped the news this morning that Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle Cars, their PSN-exclusive vehicular sports game, has gone gold.

Burnout Paradise, that is. Today, Criterion's oft-updated opus hit PlayStation Network for $29.99 -- the same price you'd pay for a brand-new Greatest Hits copy at retail. While the 3.24GB download will not include any of Criterion's spectacular DLC upon delivery, the game will apparently self-update to bring you new cars, motorcycles, weather, Freeburn challenges, [...]

EA may have their own digital distribution mechanism, but that won't stop Steam users from spectacularly splattering alien guts all over North Korea's top-secret island military installations. Through a partnership between Crytek and Valve, Crysis and its expansion pack-cum-sequel Crysis Warhead are now available for preorder on Steam at $40 and $30 respectively. The full [...]
