As is typical of the internet, Hakan, the tenth and final (?) character to be added to the cast of Super Street Fighter IV, was debuted a couple days earlier than expected. IGN’s Daily Fix posted the debut trailer earlier this evening and all I can say is wow. I don’t think that now is the best time to get into what I think about Capcom’s design philosophy for this title, but I am interested to see what you folks think.
There will not be any spoilers in this post because there is nothing to spoil in a game. Last month, a month that has probably one of the biggest gaming has seen in a long time, the internet was abuzz in discussions filled with spoilers about Mass Effect 2 and Heavy Rain. These games contain as much story as any game possibly could. Yet, the story isn’t supposed to be the apex of video game discussion.
Any gamer could tell you the story to The Legend of Zelda. It’s about an eleven year old boy traveling the world and collecting things to defeat Ganon and save the princess. The most important part of this narrative, however, is not defeating Ganon. Past experience will already tell you that Link saves Zelda. Knowing that Ganondorf gets stabbed in the head at the end of the game doesn’t make me stop playing. Read more…
I woke up last Sunday morning feeling very thirsty… So thirsty, in fact, that I felt as though a mere mortal’s drink like water would not satisfy me. No, I required something stronger. Something GODLY. I called up Cory and Josh and soon afterward we were headed to our local 7-Eleven convenience store to obtain what I needed – a Blackberry Lime Kratos Slurpee. Read more…
Sega recently announced what many gamers have been hoping for years: a return to the 2D roots of the series. After years of failures in the 3D realm, Sega has made the move back to the fast paced 2D side scrollers that put them on the map as a console maker. Before you go getting too excited and all nostalgic, let me remind you that even this switch back to 1991 is going to suck. When is the last time that you dusted off your Genesis or hell even bought one the old titles on the current generation of consoles download services? Read more…
Dear Microsoft,
Games on Demand… it needs to be better. Stop wasting everybody’s time but releasing games that are more than a year old. Valve changed PC gaming with Steam and it is time you changed the entire gaming world with Games on Demand. Let me tell you how you can do it. Read more…
This is seriously amazing. My guess is that when Bungie said something earlier this week that they were going to drop a bomb next week, it was this footage. Fortunately for us, it got leaked and is available for our viewing pleasure. I don’t really want to say much about the video because it pretty much stands on its own but I think Bungie is really going to out-do themselves with this game JETPACKS!!!!
Alright, Im about 6 hours into Heavy Rain. Im loving it, Im hating it… Everything a good entertaining experience should be. However there is a sneaking suspicion that I cant get over that I’ve done this emotional roller coster before.
I wake up early in the morning, hit ^ to get out of bed, I turn around a few times not knowing how to walk properly and then finally get my short dumpy ass to the bathroom. I have some options. so I decided to press >. I turn on the water and wash my hands. Read more…
As you can tell from the title, our GolgoCast staff was significantly reduced, and we keep the podcast a bit more loose this time around. Listen to Josh, Cory, Rich, Molly, and Justin talk about video games, pop culture, and celebrities.
Seriously, we do talk about all that stuff, it’s not your normal GolgoCast!

Golgotron is the Internet's latest game related website, apart from the one that was created just now. And that one too.
Check out our sweet podcasts too. We have an actual radio program, Chatterbox Video Game Radio, and an awesome podcast called GolgoCast.
Just as American Idol attracts a subset of “singers” who have no business performing in public, Playboy is inundated with audition photos from women who simply shouldn’t be seen in public. Those are the girls Playboy puts in gaming shoots.
But there’s a more important question to be asked. Push yourself past the apparent fact that [...]
A month ago, when I was at PAX, I picked up a fun little book entitled Porn & Pong: How Grand Theft Auto, Tomb Raider and Other Sexy Games Changed Our Culture By Damon Brown. As the title suggests, it was about how the game industry intertwines with the Larry Flint and Hugh Hefner’s naked [...]
Gameinformer.com went live several days ago, and with it came a feature about tidbits in Rocksteady’s Batman: Arkham Asylum. The short feature talked about some of the smaller details about the game that are largely overlooked; like where the sound effect for the explosive gel came from. Out of all of these, one tidbit caught [...]
