“No need to import,” the ‘SonyPlayStation’ Twitter account reports. “3D Dot Game Heroes for PS3 is DEFINITELY coming to NA! Spread the word, more to come.” And here we are, spreading the word.From Software’s gorgeous, retro-inspired action-RPG will be released in Japan in November, but until now, we’ve heard nothing about localization. And as Zelda fans and (shameful) Spelunker fans …

Welcome to Bobby Kotick’s nightmare, a world in which Guitar Hero controllers could be rendered useless, a world in which video games can be played by monitoring muscle actions. A brave new air guitar future! In reality, this technical demonstration of muscle-computer interfaces, as shown at the ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology, looks far less precise, far more finger straining than playing with traditional plastic

Much to my delight, we’ve seen a lot of games in recent times delve into the subject matter of life in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. What we haven’t really seen, however, is such a theme taking place in Russia.Enough with the same old “everything blew up, so therefore everything looks utterly brown” scenario for just a minute, guys. 4A Games upcoming PC and Xbox 360 title Metro 2033 has mutated beings and a world covered in snow (trailer here)

Ghostwire, A Different Game’s DSi-only title that uses the camera to fill players’ real surroundings with virtual ghosts, looked quite promising when it was unveiled. The only problem: without a publisher, it was nothing but an apparition of a game. Today, Majesco announced that it is publishing the augmented reality title (which was originally intended for Nokia phones) with a projected late 2010 release date, under the title Ghostwire: Link to the Paranormal.Using the mic and camera on the —- link GamePad: The Best Video Gaming Blog Posts The Best Video Gaming Blog Posts From Arond The Web.

Earlier today, GamerBytes found a document from the Ontario Media Development Corporation that detailed a title from Capybara Games (the folks who brought you Critter Crunch on PlayStation Network and iPhone) called Zombie Tactics.Although a few months old, the document was revealing, detailing Zombie Tactics as “a mixture of strategy gameplay elements into the horror genre, dropping players into the heart of a devastating zombie apocalypse with nothing but their wits to get —- link GamePad: The Best Video Gaming Blog Posts The Best Video Gaming Blog Posts From Arond The Web.

Despite being released in retail form for PC, Wii and DS as Line Rider 2, the Flash version of the original Line Rider is still being tweaked by developer Sparkworkz to provide the most casual and simply obsessed of players with the optimal “drawing stuff, then dropping a sled on it” experience. The company just released beta 3 of the Flash game, which adds … a second rider.Players can now choose the “Dual Rider” mode and set a starting point for a second rider

Yeah, it’s called the HAWPcast now. “Hey Ash, Whatcha Podcastin’” is so three-to-six weeks ago.In this episode, Ash and I talk about nonlinear plot and characterization in videogames (the dialogue in Left 4 Dead, for instance), the death of the “hangout movie,” and, subsequently, Quentin Tarantino’s entire filmography.There’s a bit at the very end of the podcast where I yell “wait” before getting cut off by Ashly’s cruelly indifferent decision to hang up —- link GamePad: The Best Video Gaming Blog Posts

We weren’t surprised when the first of three episodes in the Assassin’s Creed: Lineage miniseries, created by Hybride Studios, exceeded our expectations. These folks did the effects for 300 and Sin City — so of course we knew it would look great. Our surprise simply came from the fact that Lineage is a promotional, game-based short film; and nearly all of the words in that phrase seem contrary to high quality

Possible SPOILERS, first of all.Secondly: what you see above may be a leaked gameplay video from Modern Warfare 2. We’re currently awaiting comment from both Infinity Ward’s PR guys and the community manager, Robert Bowling.

When Forza 2 hit store shelves back in early 2007, it was a surprise success. No one had ever taken on Gran Tursimo before and held their own, but the developers at Turn 10 had clearly pulled it off. Combining great simulation gameplay with a selection of more than 300 cars and some insanely detailed custom design options, Forza 2 was the talk of the season. It was even enough to push Microsoft’s other racing franchise, PGR, out of the limelight later that year.But I was a PGR fan through —- link GamePad: The Best Video Gaming Blog Posts

The MIDI protocol was designed to allow for two-way communication between devices. Thanks to this forward thinking (the protocol was designed in ‘82), musicians can now daisy chain an ass-ton of devices and have them all communicate with each other. But what does this have to do with chiptunes? The Game Boy only has a standard audio output (or a patch cable output if you get a Pro Sound mod), so it can’t communicate with MIDI instruments, right?
