North Pole to be Completely Melted by September
News is trickling out that scientists believe the North Pole will be completely ice-free (melted) by September… and not September 2050… or September 2020… they mean this freaking year.

Soulcalibur IV Screenshots… Soul BOOBS
Am I the only one that loves the fact that the majority of game developers out there are men… and men like to make fighting games… and men figure that while most men fight in full armor or turn-of-the-century Japanese garb, women prefer to fight half-nude in over-sexed outfits that could blow apart at the [...]

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames Screenshots
We covered Mercenaries 2: World in Flames almost a year ago with a demo movie from E3 that showed off the 1 things that the developers had as a design requirement since Day 1: “If you cannot blow it up, it shouldn’t be in the game”. The game got delayed quite a bit and is [...]
Leaked Shots of Upcoming PS3 2.4 Trophy Support
For those that don’t own a PS3 or don’t know about the drama, the PS3 has shipped, all the way up until this point, with no Achievement-like system, so there is not recognition for completing milestones in video games, etc. Also there has been no support for in-game cross-media-bar navigation, which completely rules out chatting [...]
