During Comic-Con International 2010, Capcom has been announcing new characters for its upcoming fighting game, Marvel vs Capcom 3. So far the roster has been pretty standard, with one major exception: there’s a big white wolf god on the list.

Wait, SEGA, what is this? Sonic and SEGA All-Stars Racing? It’s Sonic the Hedgehog, in a car, launching boxing gloves, doing flips off ramps, powersliding around turns and turbo boosting. This is, like, a totally fun kart racing game, from a company that makes some of the worst kart racing games known to man!

The mysterious Project Needlemouse has been teased for a while now, but today SEGA officially announced that the 2D Sonic game is going to be called Sonic the Hedgehog 4.

Apparently those half dozen 2D Sonic games on the Game Boy Advance, DS, and PSP don’t count.

Dante’s Inferno, Electronic Art’s dark hell-based action brawler comes out next week. EA has been showing off a lot of weird, freaky shit about it, but I got to see the physics engine at work in a very special way.

Realistic devil cock.

2009 wasn’t the best year for games. I blame the economy, and possibly Facebook and their shitty games. But it wasn’t a total bust. There were actually quite a few great games to play, so many in fact that I didn’t get to nearly all of them (I try to have a social life, however sad it may be). But of the ones I did play, Here are a few of the standout titles.

If you’re like me (and you’d better be!), the idea of a first person shooter with a sci-fi story starring Nathan Fillion, Adam Baldwin, Alan Tudyk, and Tricia Helfer is enough to pique your interest. Throw in Bungie as the developer and it’s shaping up to multiple levels of awesome. Really, the only thing that could ruin an experience like this would be a way too short story mode and a weak multiplayer. Oh wait, “Halo 3: ODST” has those too? Well, fuck.

Hey “The Beatles: Rock Band” is out. You don’t want to read 6,000 words telling you it’s fucking rad, so I’ll use less than 500. Because I’m a real goddamn journalist.

Look, I get it. You’re a hardcore gamer. You would never pull out Team Fortress 2 to stick in a game with Disney on the title. And for the most part, I understand. A lot of you probably got burned when you attempted to play “Bolt.” But you know, not all the games based on the movies you’re too old to like are terrible. In fact, some of them are downright decent.
