You got your Depeche Mode in my 'Left 4 Dead 2!'

No, you got your Left 4 Dead 2 in my Depeche Mode! Etcetera.

It was reported at Comic-Con that Depeche Mode's likeness and music will be featured in Left 4 Dead 2. This is made evident in one image from the game in which a character is sporting a Depeche Mode T-shirt.


According to Chet Falizsek of Valve (the company that developed the game, donchaknow), they approached many labels and artists about using their music in the game, but Depeche Mode were apparently quite happy to lend their work to the game.

Please tell me that there will be credits with zombie Depeche Mode playing "People Are People." Please?

'Castle Crashers' coming to PS3

If you haven't played the Xbox 360 beat-em-up of 2008 Castle Crashers yet, you have very few excuses. One excuse, the "I only have a PS3" excuse, has been eliminated.



Behemoth, the developers behind the game have announced that the game will be coming to the PS3. That's all the news on it for the moment, but stay tuned. And while you're waiting, steal a friend's Xbox for a weekend and play Castle Crashers.

'Resident Evil 4' headed to your iPhone

I know that there are tons of games on the iPhone that were previously on other consoles, and that probably the most worthwhile games are original IPs (like Rolando). But come on, wasn't Resident Evil 4 such a fantastic game? Don't you just want to play it all the time? Like, say, when you're waiting in the doctor's office?


Well it's going to become a possibility sooner rather than later. The game is releasing in Japan by the end of the month, but Capcom said that the game will make an appearance in the rest of the world "soon after."

And now, I decide whether I'll spend my money on that or the Doom game for the iPhone. Decisions, decisions.

New Batman trailer puts it all together

There has been trailer after trailer of individual villains fighting Batman. We've seen the initial glances and some gameplay sequences. But here, we finally get a look at...well actually it's just more villains. Still, it's a neat trailer and includes some pretty ominous dialogue.

You can check out the video right here. In the meantime, here's an important clip from Batman lore to get you excited.

Sorry about the delay

Hey, readers! Sorry about the severe delay in posts - I was in the woods and without Internet there for a week. I meant to update and let you all know before I left, but alas, the Internet decided not to play nice. Anyhow, onward!
