Bionic Commandowas released back in May of this year, and it did not fare well, neither in sales nor was it a critical darling. While some of the smaller websites gave it a decent shake, the bigger sites were not so kind. Whether or not this says anything about me, the bigger sites were wrong and the smaller sites are in fact correct. Since I am a smaller site, really just a blog, I guess that

To all the football fans out there, today is your early Christmas as Madden NFL 10 is out in the wild ready to be bought. I don't play these games myself but I hear there have been some decent changes to this years version and there is already a load of DLC on the PSN/XBLM, so get to playing some ball.

I don't know why people lend so much credence to the way Gabe Newell feels about the PS3, and they always act like he has this great burden with it. Most news outlets are running it as he still hates the PS3. Sorry, got ahead of what the big deal is.Last night on GTTV, Geoff Keighley asked Gabe Newell if they had made any progress working with the PS3, and of course Gabe said that they have not.

It was a rough month for each of the console manufacturers in July, there is no disputing it, so don't bother trying. Though I don't know why anyone would want to seeing as how this is a clear signal that prices are about to fall hard, and it should be for every device on the market be it handheld or console.Everyone sustained a loss again this month, ranging from 20%-44%, the heaviest month over

EA has announced the release date for the(maybe) eagerly anticipated Army of Two sequel, The 40th Daym for A January 12nd release next year in the North America. The game will ship four days earlier for it Euro debut on January 8th. The sequel will see the ultimate two man wrecking crew/army stuck in Shanghai as things start to fall apart due to an unexpected attack on the city. They must work

I cannot stand it when people throw the PS3 under the bus for being hard to develop for. Personally I see it as a dev who can't code properly and since Microsoft made the X360 super easy to develop for, it always seems like someone needs to throw down the PS3. Yes, it is hard to develop for, so was the PS2 and the PSOne before it. If Sony didn't lay down these challenges then the videogame

EA has become to me what Capcom and Square Enix always were, one of the best publishers to get great games from. Though Squenix has slipped in the last few years from it's post EA has risen. They have released some of my favorite games this gen because they decided to focus on original IP instead of just rehashing sequel after sequel, something another company seems to love to do *cough* Bobby '

Spyborgs is one of those games I am looking forward to coming out for the Wii next month. There aren't too many Wii games that appeal to me as a gamer, core games aren't as hard to come by as they were but games that are sort of middle of the road are, and this is one of those games. It's a third person shooter, that seems to be in the vein of Bionic Commando. That's not to say that you will be

Kotaku seems to have dug up the image of an Xbox 360 Elite with the low, low price of $299 in a Meijer catalogue. This is could also indicate that the PS3 price cut is in fact coming soon, that and the sales of the system have slowed so they need to do a price drop.It doesn't neccessarily mean that the Pro model has been phased out either, it could very well be $249 once the price drop takes

I have always thought that Capcom aims to please the gamer, and it looks like they are doing so again. They will be combining three stellar titles in one handy package for the low price of $39.99. Dead Rising, Devil May Cry 4, and Lost Planet Extreme Condition Colonies Edition(added DLC), will go on sale September 8 of this year. For those of you who have yet to purchase these games, this would

I think EA may be set to revive a couple of dusty old franchises for current-gen use, as recent Trademark filing's for both Populous and Road Rash, amongst others, have been uncovered. Superannuation dug up recent trademark registrations for Populous, Theme Park, Wing Commander and Road Rash. Harvey Elliot recently told Kikizo that bringing back old franchises for a new coat of paint is something

For those of you who were on the fence about Fallout 3, or sold it like I did, you will be happy to know that a Game of the Year edition is set to drop in October with all of the DLC that has been released for the X360 version already and is scheduled to be released for the PS3 soon. I was so disgusted with the fact that the DLC probably wasn't going to come to the PS3 that I unloaded my copy

Ready to see some kick ass cover aret for the upcoming game Borderlands? Okay here you go.Pretty sweet if I do say so myself. Borderlands is an FPS/RPG set to release in a few months that offers an extremely deep system to hook gamers and never let them go. There is something like a million weapons combos and upgrade that can be created throughout the game ofering players an unprecedented amount

The Wii and its storage problems, something that has plagued its users since launch, well maybe more its core users. During E3 they update the system to launch things off of an SD card and increased the capacities excepted up 16gb(I think). Well when Guitar Hero 5 launches, Wii owners can now use a 32gb SD card and stream the DLC from it straight to the game, just like PS3 and 360 users. Right ow

I'd be pressed to say that Capcom isn't currently one of my favorite game companies. Most of everything they put out is gold in my eyes, and there are few games that have come from them that I dislike, Devil May Cry 2 may be the only one. It makes it even more exciting to know what they have coming down the pipeline and heading our way in the near future. There is a bit for everyone in the list

When Natal was shown at E3 this year a lot of people went gaga over it, and a lot of people just shrugged it off. Personally the application toward non-game uses is what intrigues me most with this little bit of hardware/software. They showed a range of games being played with Natal, most notably Burnout, and Codemasters isn't too sure about it either. Videogamer caught up with Codemasters Ralph

Gamasutra has a piece up about Bobby Kotick and Chris Deerings recent comments over the price of games on the market. Both think that premium games should be sold at a higher price, but I really need to ask what makes a game premium. If it's expected to be AAA does that autmatically make it a premium game? What if they think a game is premium and gamers tend to disagree, it would instantly make

The Playstation Blog Europe will be hosting an interview with the director of Heavy Rain Guillaume de Fondaumiere. Heavy Rain is set to be a groundbreaking title for the PS3, literally a game changer of sorts that looks(to me) to blend cinematics and videogames in such a way that the uncanny valley will seem that much closer to reality. If you have any questions that you have a burning desire to

There are a bevy of updates in this new update to the dashboard of Xbox Live. There are far too many to list here, the most notable of the bunch being the Netflix options that have been opened up. Here is what it says on Xbox.comNetflix*Now you can watch movies with your friends and find new movies to add to your Instant Queue without leaving your seat.Party Watch - Catch a show with your friends

Namco Bandai are knownfor a lot of different games these days, games that span multiple platforms and are generally well received. The 'Tales of' series and Tekken being the most notable, but Dragon Ball and many others fill out their large roster of games. Of the games that will be coming to Gamescom there will be "major exclusive game announcements" at their press conference on Weds August 19th

I know a lot of people don't like associating their credit card accounts with their Live(or PSN) accounts as storing that info can be a hassle and there is an inherent risk that it could be hacked and/or stolen. Well now Microsoft has made it easier and more convenient to purchase points.Currently you can link your PayPal account with your XBL account via Xbox.com. This is a big step into making

It's no secret that everyone wants a price cut from at least two of the big three console's. The PS3 has taken a beating since it's been on the market, and I mean that beating as coming from the internet more than sales. The Wii has been at the same price since launch and its sales have seen very sharp declines this year, especially in the last three months. The Xbox 360 has seen modest declines

Tony Hawk Ride will be skating its way into retailers on November 17th in the US, and three days later on November 20th in the UK and Germany. The price is still unknown at this point but most retailers have it pegged at $120 for the bundle. I imagine the price will be confirmed at Gamescom which begins Tuesday August 18th with Sony's massive presser, and pricing structure will then be passed on

So VG247(through Forbes) dug up the amount of money that Bobby Kotick, the CEO and mouthpiece of Activision Blizzard, and it is a hefty sum of money. All of his bonuses, salary, options and other compensation totals just under $15,000,000. That's millions to those who don't like to read zero's. Personally this makes me absolutely sick. I know the big bosses of companies just ooze money, but most

This week we'll see some decent releases spread throughout the week, but it's otherwise slim pickin'. Title's in gold text will be recieving reviews, and a click on each title will take you to the official site if it's available. The big game of the week is Madden 2010, I'm not a big sports fan but this is pretty much EA's bread and butter week.WiiAUGUST 11thActive Life Extreme ChallengeATV Quad

With different avenues to play games coming to our living rooms at a quicker pace than ever before it helps to be on the cutting edge of videogame technology. SCE showed off its 3D gaming capabilities at CES in Vegas earlier this year and now a new alliance has been formed to bring 3d to the masses.The Sterioscopic 3D Gaming Alliance, or S-3D Gaming Alliance, has been formed to set standards for

Apparently a Best Buy store in Utah is doint a little market test. In this market test they are selling new games for the price that the game would cost at Gamestop or another specialty shop like GameCrazy. This means that if a game is $30 dollars used at Gamestop, you could feasibly go to Best Buy and purchase the same game, brand new, at that same cost, regardless of what it cost at new at Best

I think most gamers would be hard pressed to say that they would not like to see cuts across the board on the consoles. Actually I think that the price of games could stand to be cut as well, most of us who game a lot, that crave new releases like crack, could stand a little more affordability in our gaming habits. Most of these needs is what will end up driving the adoption rate for digital

I don't know how many of you have played(or currently are) Final Fantasy XI, but I have not. Most of you probably won't think of that as very surprising since the game never generated a massive interest since it came out during a time when MMO's were still kind of only for PC players, and the PS2 was barely online capable. Add to that the fact that the Xbox 360 had just launched and most of those

I would just like to use my first post to welcome everyone to Sunrise Games! This blog was born out of an intense desire to share my passion of gaming with others who share that same passion. I want to keep this site as bias free as possible. I love all games, but I definitely lean towards the Playstation family of products, which has dominated my personal use for the last ten or so years. Most
