While we were in the midst of reporting on CES 2012, Amazon released two lists for their 10 best selling games in 2011. It happened last Friday, but we figured the list was interesting enough to wrangle up and share with you. The rankings are, for the most part, unsurprising as titles like Modern Warfare

Saturday night brought gamers, and anyone watching one specific cable television network, the Spike Video Game Awards for 2011. Awards were given out for the best of the best across a ton of categories. The nominations were picked by a committee of gaming industry critic veterans. They were then voted upon by the gaming community,

The Last of Us, the brand new, upcoming PlayStation 3 exclusive, got the full trailer reveal you see above over the weekend. It was announced that this project is being developed by Naughty Dog, which explains the recently found easter egg for the game in Uncharted 3‘s campaign. Beyond the trailer, we didn’t have too

What you see above is a clip from the beginning of Uncharted 3. iWaggle3D.com, which came to us by way of VG247, spotted a newspaper laying in the game’s environment with the headline “Scientists are still struggling to understand deadly fungus.” That is, supposedly, a nod to an upcoming PlayStation 3 title. This past Monday,

Welcome, welcome, welcome to a weekend of sales that are more than likely guaranteed to bleed your back accounts completely dry. Gamers take heed: there have been what can only be described as an epic butt load of new games to discover throughout the course of 2010 and 2011. These have been years of both

Remember getting a game, opening the case and finding an awesomely thick, well-colored and beautifully rendered instruction booklet within. What’s that you say, “barely?” Yeah, that’s my point. Instruction booklets are becoming a thing of the past in the world of video games, and it is one of the silent deaths in this medium that

For gamers, the holiday season is a glorious time of year. 2011 is especially strong, as gamers have new portables to look forward to and a giant roster of top-tier software to enjoy. There are so many great games on the market this holiday that it’s actually scary. We’ll be playing them well into the fall of next year.

For the shopper, be warned, buying games without any knowledge of the market is a tricky business. Make sure you figure out what your intended recipient likes, wants or already has before heading out to the shop. Nothing burns quite like opening a wonderfully wrapped game and finding Barbie’s Horse Adventures within.

Welcome to this brand-spankin’-new TechnoBuffalo feature we’re going to try and run once every week. We’ve got ourselves an outstanding, talkative community and we’re looking to harness that and spur it along with a weekly debate topic. So, every Friday, I’ll toss up a debatable challenge, you folks will vote and discuss. I’ll also be

This contest is really only related to Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception in both name and theme; beyond that, well, it’s one of the most awesomely absurd plays we’ve seen in a long time. As Kevin Butler intros in the video you see above, those that want to win some cash need to reach out as if

Spike just sent out a press blast that fell directly into our inboxes here at TechnoBuffalo. In it was some information regarding both several upcoming games and a few of their awards night’s nominees. The Spike Video Game Awards will air live on December 10th at 8:00pm EST. Part of the show will be the

It would be safe to label this video as a road map for the inexperienced, novice Uncharted multiplayer combatant. Robert Cogburn, Game Designer at Naughty Dog, leads viewers through “The Way of the Iron Fist” as he details the minutiae of running, gunning, climbing, stealth and melee in Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception‘s multiplayer component. Throughout the entire month

We have two uniquely outstanding video clips from the world of Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception to show you this morning, and both of them came to us by way of one of Joystiq‘s stories. We thank them for sliding these great clips out into the open, especially the Japanese Harrison Ford TV spot you’ll find below.

Much like Rockstar’s Pass, Sony has announced that they will be offering gamers their own way to save money on post-launch content for Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception. Today, on the PlayStation Blog, Mick Perona, Associate Product Marketing Manager for Sony Computer Entertainment of America, announced the Uncharted 3 Fortune Hunter’s Club. Basically, the Fortune Hunter’s Club is something

Naughty Dog pushed the PlayStation 3 as hard as they could with Uncharted 2. The graphical jump between Drake’s Fortune and Among Thieves is massive, and that was a simple fact as soon as the media and fans saw Naughty Dog’s sequel in motion several E3s ago. However, in speaking with Spong, Uncharted 3 Game Director Justin Richmond

Uncharted 3 is Naughty Dog‘s, wait for it, third entry in one of this generation’s most beloved new franchises. This PlayStation 3 exclusive is looking like it’s ready to set the gaming world ablaze, and all the public needs to do is wait a little more than two weeks. We love this series, and the developers

And with that, our lunch plans for today have been made. Sure, it feels a little weird to actually be excited about promotional content in games, but at least the advertising was done with a full head of steam for this program. Basically, Subway has paired with Naughty Dog and Sony to give gamers a

The holiday season of 2011 is officially upon us. The last few months have been scary slow as far as gaming releases have been concerned. But now? Publishers are gearing up to vanquish our savings accounts as they deliver a storm of outstanding content. We at TechnoBuffalo decided to assemble two separate lists for this

Sony bought up some ad space during the first NFL regular season game of the 2011-12 season in order to bring the world the glory of Nathan Drake’s next adventure. Saints and Packers fans had reasons to watch, but those among us not in the NFL mood  may have skipped out all together. Sony’s got

Go ahead, take a wild guess at which system Sony will be heavily championing at the Tokyo Game Show come the middle of this September. No, no, it’s cool, we’ll give you a second. Okay. Pencils down. It’s the PS Vita, folks. Sony will be showing off a confirmed total of 31 PS Vita titles

Sony and the PlayStation.Blog have gotten together with Naughty Dog and the voice of Nathan Drake, Nolan North, to unbox the Collector’s Edition of Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception. Three minutes of video delivers the details of the package and a healthy heap of Nolan North’s uncanny sense of humor. Plus, it feels like it’s being

Okay, seriously, will you be buying a PlayStation 3 now? Sony just announced during its Gamescom presser in Cologne, Germany that, starting today, the PlayStation 3′s base model is dropping in price by $50. The 160GB model is moving from $299 to $249, and the 320GB model will now cost $299. Also announced in the

While a massive chunk of the gaming world would probably like it just fine if Naughty Dog stuck to cranking out fantastic entries in the Uncharted storyline from now until eternity, there are gamers out there (myself included) that would like to see the team return to Jak and Daxter. The Jak and Daxter franchise

In honoring story and character development over fan service and franchise staples, Naughty Dog spoke about their willingness to kill main characters off if the narrative of their games dictates the need. This came out when Naughty Dog Co-President Evan Wells was discussing the presence and involvement of the main females Chloe and Elena in

Naughty Dog, the studio behind the Uncharted franchise, has created some of the greatest adventures with the best cast of characters over the last several years. Where Uncharted is concerned, most fans would have assumed the target number of main console games for the series was three. Three, strap on your rocket scientist cap, would

Uncharted 3 is set to be one of the largest games this year, riding on an unprecedented wave of critical anticipation. Because the title is a PlayStation exclusive, Sony has played an important role in marketing the game, ensuring its success. To do this, the game played a central role in the company’s media briefing at E3.
