Game Arts, developers of the classic RPG, Lunar, once cooked up a robot shooter game back in the day. Some of our veteran readers out there may be familiar with it, but for the rest who never got to play the game, Square Enix may be reviving this old game and giving it a fresh PS3, PSP look so that gamers of the new age can enjoy an old classic.

Gotta love the Prototype vids. Let's face it - Alex Mercer is just bad-ass, and being in a bad-ass-looking game definitely scores high on the sick-o-meter. Job well done, Sierra Entertainment. This vid lives up to the standard, and the best part is: this vid has gameplay footages, so it's the closest you can come to enjoying the blood n' brutality if you haven't gotten Prototype for the PS3, Xbox 360, or PC. It's out now so this vid might make a good sales pitch.

While I still haven't gotten over the bad-ass Prototype (PS3, Xbox 360, PC) opening vid from the other day, Alex Mercer is back with a few screenshots, showing yet again how unrelentingly bad-ass he is.

While lots of people want multiplayer modes for their games, sometimes having only single-player has its benefits. For Prototype's developers, they get to promise you one heck on an experience with Alex Mercer's crazy mutant powers. One of the things to look forward to: getting to slam enemies onto a helicopter's rotors. Bzzzzzzt!

Look, up in the sky! Is it a bird, a plane, or a geek wearing his underwear over his tights? Nope, it's a purple dinosaur dragon! Yes, Spyro looks like he's going to follow down Cloud Strife and Claire Redfield's footsteps: from video games straight to their own CGI movie. Today, a teaser poster for The Legend of Spyro 3D movie has been revealed. Check out the full article for the poster and some more info.

Prototype sure is rolling along quite well now. The wait for the sandbox action game isn't a long one either. Today, we hear via press release that Alex Mercer's retail debut has finally been confirmed. Coupled with this announcement, the dev team's kind enough to give us a bit of a teaser too. In the full article, you'll find the first half of the intro cinematic used in the game. Amazing freaky stuff going on. And of course, lots of explosive shockwaves and the kickass Alex.

Zombies running through the city. Huge military dispatches trampling through the streets. And buildings turning into bio-terror hives? (Not to mention lots of missiles, gunfire, explosions, decapitations, crashing helicopters, and cars flying through the air!) Prototype sure looks like it's going to kick some serious ass in the free-roaming open-world destruction fest arena. And from what it looks like, inFamous' Cole McGrath has his match in Alex Mercer!

Ok. Here's the deal. Prototype may have been delayed from 2008 to this year, and for the most part, it's been pretty low-key on the radar. But man, it's definitely worth the wait! Want proof? Check out the trailer in the full article to see wanton destruction. Alex Mercer sure is a bit too emo for a lead character, but dammit, I'll let it pass. He's a one-man army to himself! Heck, he can even run people over with tanks if he wants to! Gotta love the carnage, baby! Yeah!

Some people may wish it wasn't so, but It looks like Swordfish Studios' 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3) has gotten a new lease on life. Details after the jump.

Another week of On Shelves, and the major consoles are apparently missing in action. That doesn't mean, however, that there won't be any fun to be had in this week's slew of game releases. Final Fantasy IV will finally be getting its turn in the DS spotlight, for one, and there are several other sports and adventure titles to keep you busy through the summer lull.
