If you're a gamer, you owe it to yourself to see Disney's Wreck it Ralph; if only for a shot in the arm of nostalgia. The movie is filled with game references from the 80s and 90s, with little Easter Eggs scattered throughout the movie (such as the Metal Gear "!" at one point). Even though the film has Sonic and other Nintendo characters such as Bowser in it; it was missing Mario. Well, thankfully... more.

I've been pretty honest that I wasn't overly excited about Nintendo's new console. Like the Wii before it, the Wii U is really an underpowered piece of hardware facing off against two more powerful HD consoles with even newer consoles from Sony and Microsoft less than two years away. So even at the time of its launch, the Wii U doesn't perform as well as systems that have been out for more than si... more.

If standing in line Sunday morning to pay $350 for an outdated piece of hardware that lacks the horsepower to even correctly run a year-old PS3/Xbox port (Batman looks like shit on it) wasn't harsh enough, you also stand the chance of bricking your brand new obsolete console! Joystiq roun... more.

Disney previous said that they were working with all the major game publishers to get their characters in... more.

This holiday season's big Disney animated movie will be a tribute to the games we grew up with in a similar way to how Who Framed Roger Rabbit? used classic cartoon characters. The main character, Ralph, is a Donkey Kong-style villain who doesn't want to be a villain anymore. Disney worked with all of the major game makers to get their characters to appear in the movie, and it's already confirmed ... more.

Earlier this week, rumors came out that UbiSoft was working on some kind of Avengers game subtitled "Battle for Earth". Today, Marvel revealed that the game would release this fall for the Xbox 360 with Kinect and Nintendo's upcoming Wii U. As the console announcements make it sound, the game is motion control... more.

If Nintendo wants to do something awesome for the Wii U launch, they'd make this. Nintendo and Sega games have crossed over, so mixing Mario with Doctor Who wouldn't be completely out of the question. ... more.

Why does Fall have to be so far away? Gearbox's long-in-gestation Aliens FPS finally has a launch window, and to announce the Fall 2012 date they've released a cinematic trailer. IGN posted the trailer, which you can find below. It shows a squad of Marines fighting off hordes of xenomorphs as acid keeps dripping down more and more levels of a colony...all the way down to a queen. What's interes... more.

After yesterday's bombshell on WIRED's game blog that sensationally claimed the Miyamoto is retiring, Nintendo has come out swinging. Apparently he's not, but that didn't stop the story on the WIRED blog from causing Nintendo's stock to fall. Miyamoto retiring would be a massive blow to the company, and the released a statement to more.
