Super Stardust HD Getting Trophies, More

Housemarque have just completed their upcoming Super Stardust HD expansion pack. The "Solo Pack" will lead into the "Team Pack", including "a split screen Versus Match and Co-Op, ship editor, a true 5.1 orchestral soundtrack, and trophies."

They even say that they are looking into more. "We have been experimenting with a game mode we call "Twin gun" mode (not disclosing specifics at the moment, maybe you can guess?) and how to make music generated levels, etc." Makes me think a bit of Everyday Shooter. You never know.

Grand Theft Auto IV Makes Comedy Central's The Daily Show

The latest episode of The Daily Show on Comedy Central features none other than Grand Theft Auto IV. Jon is one funny guy, thanking us for watching when we could be playing Grand Theft Auto IV. Oh yeah Jon? What if I was doing both? Exactly. Enjoy!

Grand Theft Auto IV Multiplayer Back Online

If you didn't know, Grand Theft Auto IV on the PlayStation 3 has been having some online issues. We are happy to say the game is back online and can now be played in multiplayer matches. What are you waiting for, get off onAXIS and go play on of the fourteen multiplayer modes. Yes, fourteen.

Although I got to say, now that I'm finally online I am a bit disappointed with the character creation. There is so little choice (roughly 4 choice to select for each piece of body wear and face). I'm not that far in, but do you unlock more for your online character as you progress through the game?

The Grand Theft Auto IV Niko Bellic Munny

Winston Acosta, who has done many other fantastic Munny designs before, comes back today with a Munny of Niko Bellic, from the recently released Grand Theft Auto IV. Mr. Bellic comes with his gun and cell-phone, just like in the game, and all we know is we want one. Too bad we cannot get one though.

New Site May Most Likely Launch This Weekend, Second Thoughts on Name

(to the left: More teasers!) We are probably finally opening the new site this weekend. We are almost fresh out of space on Blogger with 12MB remaining, so don't expect too many screenshot posts until the new site opens.

We are still having second thoughts on the new name we chose however. We admire site names such as Kotaku, JoyStiq, and Ripten. They are all original names that sound well. The name we chose (which we cannot reveal) is a name like that, but we are not sure whether it is the right name for the new site. So go on, toss your best original names at us, and if all go's bad, then we might have to make up a word (or you can do that for us).
