It’s unusual for comedians to talk about video games — they talk about movies, music and everything else, but video games kinda seem to get lost there. Not for British comedian Dana O’Brien, who, as he says, loves video games, and loves to crack jokes about them.

He touches up on familiar games like Grand Theft Auto 4 and Metal Gear Solid 4, and of course, he can’t help it but to take a swing at the Wii.

Blizzard has been around for quite some time and just about every single one of their titles has seen critical acclaim. Not only do they have the immensely popular StarCraft and Diablo franchises but then they have World of Warcraft. Currently, World of Warcraft is the biggest MMORPG in the world with the most recent expansion, Cataclysm, only adding more wood to the fire.

However,its long been rumored that Blizzard is working on a next generation MMORPG commonly known as Titan but we’ve  received no official confirmation from the studio regarding this rumor. Luckily, Rank Pearce, World of Warcraft producer, came forth recently to give the following statement:

“The media is not supposed to know anything about [Titan]. It’s our next-gen MMO, and we’ve only started talking about it in a limited fashion because we wanna leverage the fact that we’re working on something like that for the purpose of recruiting, getting some of the best talent in the industry on that project.”

So, what exactly is this new projector going to be? Will they utilize the steam behind Warcraft and create World of Warcraft 2 or perhaps they will utilize another franchise like the above mentioned StarCraft or Diablo. Only time will tell.

The Nintendo Wii has long been known to be one of the fastest selling consoles on the market thanks to its innovative controls that allow anyone to pick up and play. However, now that both Microsoft and Sony have released the Xbox 360 Kinect and PlayStation Move, respectively, the Wii has seen its sales drop dramatically. In order to remedy this, EA CEO John Riccitiello has an idea for Nintendo.

According to him, Nintendo should drop the price tag of their console to $99 at which point sales will surge and the Wii will once again be on top. I can’t say I disagree with him considering $99 is cheap enough for just about everyone to buy – especially when compared to the high price tags of the Xbox 360 and PS3.

Of course, this is just a suggestion and by no means implies that Nintendo plans to do it. Even if they should.

Epic Games new IP, Bulletstorm, a new FPS set for release next year, is pretty much like Gears of War, only an FPS instead of third person.

Epic Games, which co-develops the game with People Can Fly, have announced an “Epic Edition” of the game, which will include 25,000 bonus experience points, new boots and armor, and an exclusive “Peace Maker Carbine” rifle. In addition to including access to the Gears of War 3 multiplayer beta. How much would this run you? The standard $60, but it’s a limited edition, so you’ll most likely have to pre-order it, when available.

Take Two today announced a great 2010 fiscal year with revenues of $1.1 billion and a $42.6 million profit, compared to $140 million in losses last year. Not a bad turnaround.

The reason for the increased revenue? Red Read Redemption, which Take Two said has shipped 8 million units so far, and while sales most likely aren’t at 8 million, they’re bound to be very close. That translates to roughly 480 million in revenue from Red Dead Redemption, which is approaching Halo Reach and Call of Duty Black Ops levels. Not to mention all the DLC that has been sold so far.

Remember the faceplates on the old Xbox 360? Yeah, we barely remember them as well. Microsoft initially offered a variety of colorful and artistic faceplates for the white Xbox 360, thinking people would like to customize their Xbox 360. But apparently nobody was interested, as Microsoft Microsoft’s Albert Penello said:

“The idea wasn’t bad … people used to put faceplates on their cell phones. Rewind five years, faceplates were what everybody wanted to do. Turned out nobody bought it. So [we stopped] making them. We killed that one pretty quickly.”

Yeah, we were always wondering how faceplates were gone within the first 12 months of the launch of the Xbox 360. Not that we were every interested in zebra stripes on our 36.

We just told you that WoW: WotLK owners would be able to access a free 10-day Cataclysm trial but before you go ahead with that, heed this warning. World of Warcraft is highly addictive and has been known to suck the life out of many players. This isn’t because Blizzard is administering its players any drugs but because the game is so highly entertaining that sitting down for a 1 hour session could see the entire day go out the window.

Don’t believe me? Well, it seems that one player recently did the amazing feat of logging a full 149 hours in one week. For math majors out there, that means he played for literally over 6 days straight. Now that’s dedication!

I wonder if he reached the level cap with that session.

If you’ve been paying attention to the buzz you’ll probably know that Sony Ericsson is hard at work on an unannounced gaming device commonly known as the PlayStation Phone. However, what you might not have known is the fact that Sony plans to release an Official PlayStation App for the iOS and Android platforms.

Unfortunately, it seems that this app won’t effectively turn your device into a PSP, as we had hoped, as no downloadable games seem to have fallen into this version. Instead, this free mobile application will allow iOS and Android users to check their trophies, friends lists, the PS blog and more.

Sounds pretty boring but it’s definitely a step in the direction of that fabled PlayStation phone we all love to hear about. According to our sources, individuals with iOS 4 or Android 1.6 and above will be able to get down on the phone.

We’ll let you know when more information is made known.

Brace yourself for some bad news: Deus Ex: Human Revolution has been delayed until second quarter 2011, meaning it won’t be out until at least April. The Eidos Montréal developed action game was originally scheduled for a February release, but has now been pushed into the 2011 fiscal year for Square Enix, which begins in April. According to Square Enix, the delay of a few months will give Eidos Montréal more time to polish the game. We sure hope so — we pre-ordered the game long time ago.
