Not April Fools Ha, I’ve been trying to make it clear what is and isn’t actual news on this April Fools day, in the Year of our Luigi, but this one is so dull that you can probably figure it out for yourself. Sony has officially announced that they have changed their name from Sony Computer Entertainment to Sony Interactive Entertainment. This change will take place in America, Europe, and Asia....

Sure, why not? Coming exclusively to GameStop and Microsoft stores, Microsoft will be releasing a gold-colored chrome controller not unlike the ones seen in theStar WarsXbox 360 S bundle. Also, like all special edition controllers, this one will come with the transforming D-pad. There’s no firm release date on the controller, but it will be available some time in August for $54.99. It’s a pretty random announcement to make, releasing special edition controllers this late into the console’s life, but what the hell....

Gotham Knights is confirmed too The pieces are falling into place, all haphazard and chaotically. That’s exactly how Joker and his band of misfit criminals would want it. A detailed schedule for the upcoming DC FanDome has stolen some of the thunder fromRocksteady’s August 22 revealof its newSuicide Squadgame. Now we know that the game is officially titledSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. An unlikely subtitle, but one that makes Rocksteady’s next effort all the more intriguing....

The originalSuper Mario Bros.is a timeless classic that has been hacked to freaking death. Tons of different mods have been created to controlSuper Mario Bros.without using the original controller and this mod is no different. Players will use the theremin to control Mario and it kind of gives us a glimpse at what to expectfrom Natal. Youtuberconsquerearthexplains how this mod works: The sound from the theremin is split into its frequency and amplitude components in real time, which are then mapped to values in a linear scale representing the X and Y axis....

WillRock eats the red mushrooms I have been a part of the “real world” for a few years now, and I can say from experience that it certainly is not as glamorous as William “WillRock” Harby’s new albumWelcome to the Real World. We have previously seen a snippet of Harby’s work as a contributor for and compiler of9-bit Blitzkrieg, but this one is all his. It is described as an ’80s inspired nostalgia trip, and it incorporates elements of progressive rock, chiptunes, and a bit of cheesy vocals on one track....

It’s Warhammer Weekendover on Steamwhich means games likeSpace Marine,Dawn of War,Dawn of War II, and the obligatory expansions are 66% off. I’m not sure if that’s enough of a discount to grab those of you who have been holding out for so long, but I hope so. As a part of this promotion,Dawn of War II: Retribution‘s multiplayer is playable for free. Though I could never get into it on the same level as Last Stand mode or the campaigns, you can’t argue with the price....

Nyko White Modular Charge Station for PS4 Where do you put your controllers when you’re done with them? I tried one of those cloth- lined baskets, but I found that unless I laid them in there very carefully I’d accidentally hit buttons, turning all of my consoles on. And that would kill my controllers. Now I lay my controllers on top of their respective game systems; I connect the USB charging cables to them from there....

“Arc” has all but been confirmed to be the final name for Sony’s PlayStation 3 motion controller. You’ve heard the believable-soundingrumors already, and according to THQ CEO Brian Farrell, we had better get used to calling the device by that title. While speaking at THQ’s earnings report earlier today, Farrell referred to the motion controller as “Arc.”At this point, I don’t even care what the damned device is called — so long as Sony has an actual name for it....
