New Fallout 3: New Vegas screens; this game just keeps on getting better, and better

Yup, GamesThirst is providing us with a whole plethora of new screenshots for Fallout 3: New Vegas, and as is to be expected, the game looks a lot like it’s predecessor. A lot of it is recycled graphics, but honestly I can put that all aside because of one simple fact: It’s mother-fucking Fallout 3: New Vegas.

The game is coming out this fall, and the hype machine is starting to work, as people are claiming it to be either number 1 or number 2 for their game of the year in 2010. I’m gonna have to lend my helping hand in the hype, as I’m saying it’s number 1 on my list.

Now that’s a cupcake I’d play my games with

Cupcakes are delicious, as I’m sure everybody knows. Well now that the can’t get more delicious, people have to step up their cupcake design game, and this one definitely “takes the cake”, if you know what I mean.

This one was found on clevercupcakes’ flickr page, and created by Cupcakes Take the Cake which, after looking at all of those cupcakes, I’m drooling all over my laptop. I blame Microsoft.

New Nintendo patent suggests a DS cartridge redesign, I say that cartridge looks damn ugly

Look above: that’s a picture of the new patent that Nintendo has filed for a new cartridge design, in what seems like a DS (some say it’s the successor, I doubt it).

You can click the link over to SiliconEra and see more pictures of the thing, but it’s pretty much an extended cartridge with an uplifted portion at the top. Now I guess this could be used for games that need more memory, processing power, I don’t know. Oh how the big N keeps us speculating…

Nintendo Power Reveals that Scribblenauts 2 will be due out this Fall

Scribblenauts was a pretty big hit on the DS. With tons of words that you could choose from and summon, and some really cool levels and cool ways to get through those levels. It had it’s faults here and there, but it really was a revolutionary game.

Well, as you can see above, the latest issue of Nintendo Power has Scribblenauts’ main character, Maxwell, gracing the cover. We learn that the game will add more than 10,000 words, over 120 new levels, a level editing system, a hint system, and some improved controls for those of you that docked the original for that.

Wait, that’s not enough? Okay: it’s due out this fall.

DPrime Preview: Monster Hunter Tri

Online games don’t fare well on the Wii. Friend codes and a lack of a real online community really hurt the system’s online potential. But Capcom plans on giving Wii owners a title with a real online component with Monster Hunter Tri, a hack and slash title. While you may not have heard of the Monster Hunter series, it has been very successful in Japan. Most of the titles have made it to Europe and North America, but the sales of the series has been less than stellar in these regions. Monster Hunter Tri, the third major installment in the series, will be hitting North America and Europe next month. The demo is available now at Gamestop for free, but many locations are requiring a pre-order to get the demo. Of course, if they are giving you a hard time, you can always just pre-order it and then come back at a later date and cancel it.

New Crysis 2 PC scans looks like….something that looks really damn beautiful

There have been lots of Crysis 2 scans and screens for the PS3 and such so far. Well now it looks like Games Thirst is bringing us some new scans from PC Gamer Magazine. Just look at them, soak them in for a second.

Has your brain exploded from all of the awesome?

Well if it has, then you probably have a high-end graphics card capable of playing this game at full options. For most of us though, we’re stuck playing the game at mediocre to low-end graphics. But then again, isn’t that the beauty of PC gaming?

No.

Get your lawyer on with these beautiful objection earrings

Phoenix Wright’s famous “Objection” quote has earned it’s place in video game history. It has people yelling it in class when somebody says something that they don’t agree with, plus, look at the style in which it’s shown in the game.

For this reason, RedFlare on etsy has created a earrings of said “objection”, and they look pretty snazzy. I don’t know what I’d rather pay for though, getting the actual thing, or seeing somebody in public wearing them.

You decide.

Valve Officially Confirms Portal 2; It’s coming to the 360 and PC

Through the cover of GameInformer, which you can see above, Valve has officially confirmed that Portal 2 is real. GameInformer has told us that the game is a “full-fledged, standalone sequel”, and it has “gameplay mechanics, storyline, and some surprising new twists.” Sounds way, way too awesome.

Not only that, but Valve’s own Doug Lombardi told EuroGamer that the game will be hitting the PC and 360, and will be coming this holiday season.

I don’t know about you guys, but since 2007, it’s been a long wait for a Portal 2, and after playing through the game countless times and doing all of the challenge puzzles, I’m ready for more. Do you guys think that a sequel can top the original?

Rumor: Is that a special edition of Monkey Island 2 I smell?

The Monkey Island special edition that Lucasarts did was pretty damn awesome. People loved it, it sold a good amount, and now Kotaku is feeding us rumors of Lucasarts doing a special edition of Monkey Island 2. They say that the game might be announced at GDC, it will be completely redone with graphics and audio like it’s predecessor, and might even come out on PlayStation Network, which the first one didn’t.
