Rockstar Dates GTA IV DLC, Says Nothing Else
We’d be justified in writing just that headline, throwing up a GTA IV logo for a header and signing off, given the pittance of information released through USA Today (of all places!) around one o’clock this morning about “The Lost and the Damned”, the first GTA IV downloadable content coming to Xbox 360 in February. [...]
Halo 3 Recon Details Hit, Set New Mombasa on Fire
As we all learned back in late September, Halo 3 Recon is on its way, bringing with it a new 3-to-5 hour adventure starring not Master Chief but an unnamed ODST instead (Orbital Drop Shock Troopers for the laymen in the crowd).

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher and 2008 World Series MVP Cole Hamels paid a visit to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare developer Infinity Ward last week. Community Manager (and hilarious smack talker) Robert “IAMfourzerotwo” Bowling took time out of his schedule to show the Philadelphia gentleman around, talk motion capture and take some photos. Apparently Mr. [...]
Fable 2 [Review]
From the moment Fable 2 loads in your 360, it’s graphics will overwhelm you in a good way. The color palette seemed to bleed out of my HDTV into my living room like a pointillist painting spilling off the canvas onto the frame — Albion just a moment away down the right path. It’s a [...]
A Prez That Played Pong
So it’s November 5th and we’re looking at 70+ days until Mr. Obama takes up his rightful position in the Oval Office. However, given that we’re Geekadelphia and we (I, more accurately) spend entirely too much time reading/writing about the videogame industry, figure today’s as good a time as any to look into the president-elect’s [...]
