VGChartz Infiltration

Forums - General Discussion - New Study: Bugs had feathers before dinosaurs


This sends biology back to the stone age! What a weird finding. As someone with an interest in dinosaurs, I can genuinely say this shocks me.

Forums - MMO Discussion - "Nerdles of Antweebian" F2P Game Release Schedule


Looks like they are rolling out the "Bogglewars - Swamplund" maps early, for beta testing, then letting the "Fire Mountain: Peak Patrol" be their main launch window add on. Any thoughts?

Forums - Mobile Discussion - "Peggle Wars: Plants Versus Zombots" incoming?


Popcap seems set to create the genre mashup of all mashups this Fall with 'Peggle Wars.' A tower defense cum puzzle-shooter, this looks to be pretty entertaining for fans of both Peggle and the Plants versus Zombies series.

Forums - Microsoft Discussion - "ShredFest" to stream live on Xbox One


The fourteenth annual ShredFest will be livestreamed to Xbox One owners on a special app that launches the week before the September 14th start of the venerated festival. Headliners "Crong King" and "Dillard Mixars" will be on hand to hand out special Xbox One units to a lucky few fans. I'm pretty pumped, though I think the Mixars latest album isn't as good as their fourth or fifth.

Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Halo B-Ball spinoff?


I have to  believe the rumors I read about a Halo Basketball spinoff are just rumors, but would something like that be cool? I have to wonder what Microsoft are thinking, if this is true!

Forums - Sony Discussion - "Sony Sandman" to be unveiled as new mascot


Sony (SCEE) has announced plans to unveil the company's new gaming mascot, 'Sony Sandman,' at Gamescom. "We're please with the amount of Sand this puppy has got packed into his crystals, let's just leave it at that," said the head Playstation PR man, Anthony Arwarding. 
The Sony representative hinted that this may have "something to do" with long-awaited game 'The Last Guardian.' "You'll just have to tune in to see!"

Forums - Sony Discussion - "Fire Duster" HD Remaster incoming?


People are kind of on the fence about these HD remasters but I think an update of the Fire Duster franchise could silence a lot of those wagging tongues. Throw in some online multiplayer modes, and I'm there!

Forums - Sony Discussion - DDR: Desert Heat


Konami has dropped a few hints that a PS4 exclusive DDR game centering around the Middle East is coming out. Do you think that's a bad idea, with this whole Palestine thing?

Forums - Gaming Discussion - "Shrek in VeggieTales: Fire for the Lord" for PC


I can't help but think this is a bad idea. How is DreamWorks letting them make this? Ugh I do not think this kind of game belongs on store shelves.

Forums - Gaming Discussion - What would you pay for Haptic Blowback Integration?


Companies are betting that the next big thing in gaming (after the upcoming VR craze dies down) is going to be 'haptic blowback.' Imagine getitng hit with a soccer ball and it hurts like hell. The only thing virtual about it is the visuals. So you could be shot to death in your own house and it only sort of is fake. Does this seem cool to you, and how much would you pay?

Forums - Gaming Discussion - New GTX 1080 to be announced


With over 5,000 different clockspeeds operating at once, and a power draw of only 24.9 watts, the new Nvidia graphics card is said to be 'first in class' and have a rectiliniar shader array that 'blows the pants off the competition.'

Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Diddy Kong Wrestling?


Rumor has it that Diddy is back with a brand new rap - will wrestling be added to his bag of tricks?

Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Super Princess Peach 2: Son of a Peach confirmed for 3DS


Launching next summer, Peach returns to the handheld screen in the sequel to her Nintendo DS outing. Anybody excited for this? That parasol got on my nerves but I think it could be fun if they do it right.
