Obviously, I haven't been making huge tweaks to the blogs after the recent change of some enormity, but today I did add one tweak that's been on my mind for a bit: a bar along the top of the page so that it's easy to return to your own profile if you visit a friend's blog. It's something some of you had asked about, as well.

Another change I may implement today is a change to add replies to the "Friends" page, so that it's easier to see discussions friends might be having that you aren't necessarily aware exist. It's likely I'll put that change in place today, perhaps even in the next few minutes. It'll make it easier for more people to join interesting discussions.

This section of the site is obviously still a work in progress. I hope that you're enjoying the streamlined design as much as I am. Thanks for continuing to frequent the site and for posting in your blogs when you have something to share.

The Darkness II is now available in stores throughout North America, for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms. A PC version is also available and can be activated only with a Steam account. International versions will be available starting on February 10th.

Certainly, you’ll see a large number of recycled goons, but the variety is still impressive considering the game’s era. There are pot-bellied businessmen, women with afros, ninja warriors, ghosts and lanky janitors, among others. New stages always have a new threat or two, and even familiar adversaries will mix things up by bringing weapons to the brawl. You can do the same thing yourself.

Today, Good Old Games announced that the classic titles are making a return. No, they're not getting new installments. Instead, they're getting fresh releases so that you can run them on newer computers, rather than digging up old hardware to experience the PC gaming classics of yesteryear.

Nippon Ichi Software today released a bundle of new screenshots for its upcoming PlayStation 3 RPG release, Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2. The game is planned for release in North America on February 28th, but you can check out a number of screenshots right now.

Like Mario in Donkey Kong the hero can leap only a short distance, so a lot of pulling is necessary if he’s going to scale some of the larger puzzles. It starts to feel almost like you’re building your own platformer as you go, which could easily become frustrating except that you can undo the last 15 seconds or so of play by holding the L button to rewind your actions, as in a Prince of Persia title.

Capcom announced today that Street Fighter X Tekken, the upcoming mash-up between two of the industry's most beloved fighting franchises, will feature two unexpected guests: Mega Man and Pac-Man. The industry icons will brawl exclusively on the PlayStation 3 and Vita platforms.

Capcom has yet to officially announce Resident Evil 6, but the upcoming game has become one of the industry's worst kept secrets. Specific details about the gameplay and characters, as well as the apparent design philosophy, are now available. There's also a tentative and very credible release date of November 20, 2012 making the rounds.

Unstoppable Gorg is a tower defense game with a twist. That’s a claim that any PR person might make about any new offering within the genre. In this case, though, it’s an especially apt description because the twist is this: you twist things.

Almost 20 years have passed since the release of the PC classic, Syndicate. Electronic Arts recently announced that Starbreeze is developing a sequel for release sometime later this year, so perhaps it shouldn't have come as a surprise when Good Old Games today announced the addition of the original version to its ever-expanding retro catalog.

GamesRadar shared some awesome videos that Nintendo has made available for Super Mario 3D Land, one of the biggest releases of the past holiday season (despite its pint-sized casing). Whether you're struggling to complete a first run through the game or you've cleared the title multiple times, the videos are recommended viewing for any Mario fanatic.
