We saw the last DC Universe Online Trailer way back during SDCC 2010 and it really blew our socks off.

This new one is also pretty crazy. You’ll recognize Lex Luthor right away, but that mysterious helper threw me for a loop. Future Luthor is an interesting character!

Any readers taken a dip into this new MMO? What do you think? Are you on PC or PS3?

Mass Effect 2 has three times the romance options of its predecessor, and some are very strange indeed. Powet.TV is here to take a look at each one.

We’re also trying something a little different this episode. Read on to find out more!

The best game ever is back with a new best game ever. Why is this version “DX?” Why is it great for new players as well as seasoned pros? Why am I wearing a hat?
Find out in the exciting video review of Pac Man Championship Edition DX! Then take my advice and download this game on your console of choice here:

I’ve been hearing about this game off and on, saw a video about the excellent Michael J. Fox soundalike, but now I’m totally sold — especially after watching the first movie again. Between references to Eric Stoltz’s short time in the role on Fringe to bona fide video outtakes in a new special by the filmmakers, I’ve had this movie on my brain a LOT lately. And seeing that they expect to make this 1) episodic, and 2) a monthly release for 2011 means I’m going to clear my calendar and have a much thinner wallet (well, credit card) come June.

Are you excite for this? Mad it’s not coming out for XBLA? Leave a comment and tell us what you think!

(Oh, did I mention the 25th Anniversary Blu-ray and DVD are out? Just in time for Christmas!)

Zac has a lot to say about the new Pac-Man game, and we wanted to give him the time to say it! Enjoy this supplemental, all about the new title that you can play RIGHT NOW! (While you’re listening to this podcast, for instance.)

Marvel’s video game panel at New York Comic Con had a few cool announcements about the future of Captain America in games, and some unexpected reveals for Marvel VS Capcom 3.

But for classic gamers, the big news is the return of the mammoth X-Men brawler from Konami. Originally released in 1992 with character designs pulled from the Pryde of the X-Men TV Pilot, this machine was different from similar Simpsons and TMNT brawlers in that it allowed up to 6 players instead of the usual 4. With so much action on screen, the cabinet was expanded to two side by side monitors. With the universal adoption of widescreen TVs in the last few years, its expected that not much of that will be lost in this new port.

Konami intends to keep 6 player support with online “drop in/drop out” co-op, just like the old quarter muncher.

The best news is the trailer features a classic spoken line from the game, courtesy of Magneto: “X-Men, Welcome to die!” which leads me to believe all the Engrish is intact. The Juggernaut will also retain his bazooka, even if that makes absolutely no sense.

No release date announce, its expected in 2011

 

Not much out this week aside from more PS3 move accessories, F1 and Civilization V. Let us know what you think of this week’s releases in the comments!

We got a weird animated teaser for Mega Man Universe a while ago, but that didn’t really tell us anything about the game.

Now the man who made that man Mega, Keiji Inafune is here to show us more. He’s released 3 trailers to 3 game sites, each with the same introduction, but different gameplay footage.

Watch them all here and let us know what you think of the game in action! [Read the rest of this entry…]
