Dead Space 3 may exist.
South African retailer BT Games is working overtime today. We learned earlier that they are taking pre-porders for the next Need for Speed as well as for Dead Space 3.
As this supposed-game is only in its rumor stage, we can’t tell you when it will come out, what it will be like, who’s making it, what consoles it’s on or even whether it actually exists. Although, there is a lot of smoke that points to a fire. Examples:

Conan O’Brian and Andy Richter have been confirmed as voice actors in Halo 4, so if you thought the recording session from Halo 4 shown on last night’s show was a big joke, nope. It’s all true.
Microsoft’s PR person Joe Dimiero confirmed the news for us this morning, saying, "Conan and Andy will indeed lend their voices to the world of Halo 4. We’ll have more announcements on the rest of our voice cast in the coming months."
I really hope the lines from...

Making a mess all over, SpikySnail Games and Microsoft Game Studios have launched a fun little game called The Splatters straight from the Xbox Live Arcade and onto your television screen. The Splatters is a title having a very simple design that makes great use of primary colors in a paint-like effort to splash innovation onto each game environment. The Splatters are basically gooey little critters that have a stickiness to them which helps them stick to walls, or to each other. Made from liquid,...

The James Bond film franchise celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2012 and Activision is getting in on the celebration with the just-announced Eurocom-developed first-person shooter, 007 Legends. Releasing in connection with the latest Bond film, Skyfall (out November 9), Legends tells a story that ties together six of the classic Bond films. The press release doesn’t say anything about which ones, or if the story will ultimately link up with the events of Skyfall.
Eurocom also developed the...

Starting on April 19, 2012, Microsoft will kick off its Entertainment Unlocked promotion, giving all Xbox Live users — even those without a Gold subscription — access to a variety of entertainment-oriented apps. The promotion will run from Thursday, April 19 through Monday April 23.
Normally, you would need a Gold subscription to enjoy the full suite of entertainment apps that Xbox Live offers. The weekend promotion will remove that restriction, but it’s not a full-on free weekend...

Following the November 6 release date reveal, Halo 4 made its much-publicized appearance on Conan O’Brien’s TBS talk show Conan in a nine-minute sketch which may or may not confirm that the show’s host and his longtime creative partner Andy Richter will be lending their voices to the game. One thing is certain though: there’s a few seconds of multiplayer footage near the end.
Watch the video and you’ll see why it’s not clear if O’Brien and Richter really...

New Halo 4 footage appeared on Conan tonight. It came on the tail end of a rather lengthy comedy bit featuring 343 Industries’ Frank O’Connor and Kiki Wolfkill alongside Conan O’Brien and Andy Richter.
There isn’t much to see, but we do get a look at the battle rifle doing serious damage to some Spartan sucker’s face on the Wraparound map. If you’re really hardcore, you’ll notice that the scope view looks quite different, more rectangular.
In addition,...
