Klei Entertainment and EA have released a new gameplay video for Shank that shows off the game's co-op play.
Shank is one of the games that just make you smile when you watch it. With its over-the-top action and awesome visual art style, this 2D scroller should be a huge hit when it comes out. The newest gameplay video to be released shows off Shank's co-op play and it looks really cool. It takes me back to the hours and hours spent playing through Contra with a friend. Let's hope it is able to capture that same feeling and if the videos are any indication it has and then some.
Shank is making its way to PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and the PC. It is going to be released on PSN on August 24th and it will be arrive on XBLA the following day. No release date has been given for the PC version yet. Check out the new gameplay video after the break.Read more...
Leaked documents from a alleged meeting between Sony and Sega reveal that all PS2 games could be coming to the PlayStation 3.
Take this story with a huge grain of salt but there are supposed leaked documents of a meeting between Sony and Sega that reveal Sony wants to bring every PS2 game to the PlayStation 3. The alleged meeting took place on August 5th and sheds some light on Sony's possible future plans for all of their platforms. Originally posted on a French site and then thrown up on NeoGaf, the document lays out some really huge plans from Sony. The biggest news from the leaked document shows that Sony wants to bring the whole PS2 catalog to the PSN in the future. Was this the real reason why Sony cut backwards compatibility? It does make a lot of sense but it will also piss off a lot of people if it's true. The document also states that Sony's motion controller will be released in March 2010 in Japan and then Spring for the rest of us. Another huge announcement that a lot of people would be excited for is that Sony hopes to bring original Dreamcast games to the PSN as well as Japanese imports.
As I said before, take this story with a huge grain of salt because any one of these announcements would be huge news, let alone all of them coming true. We will have to see how this plays out but let's hope that at least some of these come true. Check out the full leaked document after the break.Read more...

Super Stardust HD was a huge hit for the developer and they are looking to follow that up with Dead Nation, an awesome new zombie killing action game. Dead Nation looks amazing with its cool lighting and explosions. It also looks to be action-packed and a lot of fun.

Dead Nation will also feature hundreds of zombies on screen at once which I'm sure with add help add to the hectic action.
