Games Cheats and Reviews

The Penguins in the Desert Productions team, the same team behind The Zelda Marathon, will soon host another gaming marathon to support Big Brothers Big Sisters St. Catharines – Thorold & District. This fundraising effort will support mentorship programs, future fundraisers and making successful matches for children in the program.

The "mystery" behind the marathon is that supporters will get to vote which games will be played. The team has put together a list of 50 games to choose from. Games voted into the top 20 will be entered in a lottery. The Penguins team will play whichever games are drawn for 125 consecutive hours.

Last November’s Zelda marathon raised nearly $3,000 for the charity, and this time around the team aims for a $5,000 goal. Donations can be made during the event via widget that will be available on their website.

You can catch all the action as The Mystery Marathon broadcasts live on the team’s website from Big Brothers Big Sisters St. Catharines location on April 30 at 6 p.m. ET.

Also, check out the short films the Penguins team put together to promote the event below:

Speaking to ITN Productions’ Game On programme, Simmons confirmed that he was involved.

OnLive’s pricing and launch date has been announced for the US, while it is exciting news it could also bring failure to this pipe dream.

Speaking to IncGamers in an exclusive interview, CEO of Splash Damage, Paul Wedgwood, said that the developer had "set out from the very beginning wanting to design the game that worked well for all three platforms."

"One element of Sony’s Move that was not clarified during Sony’s stage demo has now been confirmed from on-floor testing: it vibrates, and quite intensely."

Scorched Angel Writes: Final Fantasy. When most people think of it they think of spiky haired protagonists, airships, characters named Cid, evil villains trying to take over the world, and a brand new world to explore. Well, not much has changed since the original. Final Fantasy XIII is the latest entry in one of the longest running series in gaming. Square Enix has taken some bold new directions with this particular entry and in my opinion, it is for the best. They have really made a quality, streamlined game that shines in almost every way, but with just a few bumps along the way.

It looks like owners of the Xbox 360 will soon be able to do what so many others have struggled to do. According to a source close to Microsoft’s Entertainment and Devices Division, the house that Seamus [Blackley] built is looking to add Hulu to the Xbox 360 via a channel similar to last.fm.

Cryptic Studios has released some brand new images of the upcoming Champions Online expansion, Revelation.

The third episode of VGRT is a spirited one, as Jonah insists that Sony’s new game next week should be called "God of CRAP III" and gives an unassailable reason why, while Filippo says he’ll rip on Heavy Rain in his review, and Richard rips on Filippo’s review of Heavy Rain.
