Another day, another teaser trailer for the Games Workshop-inspired sports gameBlood Bowl. So far we’ve seen greenskins, dwarves, humans and Chaos. Today we get a little taste of Lizardmen and Skaven.This game has serious potential, but so far we’ve only really seen pre-rendered footage. It’s hard to get a football game wrong, but studios are capable of anything, so I’m still keeping my fingers crossed. Something along the lines ofMario Strikers, but with more bipedal rats, should be perfect....

Ah, the Game Developers Conference. As press covering the event, we make it look somewhat exciting (maybe) with our stories, but it’s really just lectures, panels, and roundtables. We pull the interesting stuff out of that. We’re interested to hear what Nintendo President Satoru Iwata will have to say at his keynote presentation at GDC 2009, set to take place March 23-27 in San Francisco. It won’t all be boring tech talk, we’re guessing....

Goodbye, ‘Jack’ and ‘Brave’ SometimesSmashleaks are wild. Like when someone tells you The Grinch is going to be included in the roster or your friend tells you that his uncle who works at Nintendo said that Geno is definitely going to make it in at launch. In other cases, they’re officially recognized by the company in question. While I’m always careful when it comes to leaks, this is an interesting story in its own right even if nothing comes of it....

For some reason,Devil May Cry 4on PC is only now about to be offered through digital distribution outlets. As they say over onCapcom Unity, it’s “better late than never.” December 22 is the day this will go down, in case you missed out on the latest installment of this series.

A listing onNintendo’s websitenoted a Thursday, November 9 launch date for this latest version, which developer Young Horses hassince confirmed. It’ll cost $15, just like it does on other platforms. I imagineOctodadwill do well for itself on Switch even this late after the original release.

Well, the patch should be rolling out as we speak, and because it’s a pretty significant one this time around, there are quite a number of new things being implemented.

It looks like one surprise of the show may have leaked early. From the looks of it, the Wii U controller has gone through a few changessince last year.

Dressed for Excess Once you get past the dildo bats, space rockets, and tiger Cadillacs, one thing that theSaints Rowfranchise is renown for is its wild wardrobe of ker-azy customization.
