Yes, we like our new logo too.

We now look markedly different than we did earlier today and theres only one thing can explain that phenomena. The site crashed…again. Who knew upgrading to the latest WordPress could have such an affect? Thankfully, our redesign should be up by the end of this week, so you won’t have to endure this “transitional” theme much longer.

Please bear with our growing pains. Thanks for stopping by VGTribune!

30% off of games seems to be the sweet spot for some people since it looks like a third of the games have flown off the shelves. It’s looking very likely we’ll see 40% off of games next week! We’ll keep you guys and gals posted!

During one of the few times I emerge from the Bat Cave, similar but legally distinct to THE Batman’s cave, I happened to spot the Spore Galactic Edition on clearance, dare I say, for $49.99 right next to the regular edition for the same price. Now we must ask ourselves what bright, discerning shopper would go for the regular edition rather than the Galactic Edition sitting right next to it.

We thought we would let you guys know of this deal just in case any of you were still holding out on buying Spore, but couldn’t resist a deal this good.
Admittedly, it still isn’t a good enough deal for me to ignore it’s tepid reviews. Sorry Will.

I’ll start by admitting, which if you listen to the podcasts you will know, that i am not a big fan of the ps3. It’s for no other reason then the waste of hardware inside it compared to the quality of its games. The other problem is especially  its lack of exclusives that can justify its price range. But… This game intrigues me. Killzone 2 is the only game other then Little Big Planet that i have kept looking at news on so i thought now that it is starting to get some amazing reviews that I’d share some of the scores it has been getting with you.

Megamers: 9.9/10 aka 99/100

Playstation: The Official Magazine (US): 5/5 aka 100/100

Official PlayStation Magazine (UK): 9/10 aka 99/100

Now this may only be so far but as reviews go these are great. The comments about it are saying it is possible the game of the year for 2009 already.

I can honestly say that this game may, at some point, make me buy a PS3. It all depends on an upcoming VGTribune review once i convince Alexis to buy the game.

Hello everyone. I’m here posting fresh off a game of Left 4 Dead, one of the best games of last year and a great game overall that advanced the way we play games. Why am I mentioning this you ask? Because in the next few years we are not going to be seeing things as quality as a game like Left 4 Dead. Due to the economic struggle, game budgets will be postponed. Now, 2009 will not be affected as much as 2010-2012.

Come baaaaaaack! *Cries* Will this new content be enough to drag you back to your old lover Final Fantasy XI playing days, like it might us? Or, did you never go for that 2 timin’ gal Final Fantasy XI in the first place? Let us know in the comments!
