Feel the effects of all that chrome If you’ve ever wanted to experience cyberpsychosis inside the world ofCyberpunk 2077, now there’s a mod for that.

Dance Central DLC is only gonna break break your heart

Now listen to me baby, oh oh-oh! There’s new songs forDance Central, oh oh-oh! They’re out to-morrow, oh oh-oh! You might not really care much, oh oh-oh! Here’s what’s on offer: Apparently there was an original version of that Taio Cruz song, who knew! I only ever listened to theDarren Styles remixbecause of the oontz. Planet Rock and Break Your Heart seem like fitting songs forDance Central, with a mix of old and new for different audiences, but I’ll be damned if I’ll ever have something named “Trey Songz feat....

Watch Saturday Morning Hangover every weekend on Dtoid TV! This week onSaturday Morning Hangover, I took Jordan and the lovely Katrina on a journey back to my childhood and shared with them one of my favorite competitive games ever,Dashin’ Desperadoesfor the Sega Genesis.

Enslaved getting DLC starring sidekick Pigsy

Enslaved: Odyssey to the Westisn’t on store shelves yet, but Namco Bandai is publishing it, so obviously there’s downloadable content on the way. The first DLC sidestory has been revealed, and it’ll star sidekick character Pigsy. Pigsy is a “comical porcine character” (it’s not me) who Monkey and Trip meet during their adventure. That’s really all we know about the content so far. I’m never a fan of DLC that’s been developed while the main game still hasn’t released, but at least Namco isn’t charging for extra costumes and experience points, as it is so often wont to do....

EVE Online adds Twitch integration

Stream yourself dying in space Joining the ever-growing ranks of games that support Twitch,EVE Onlinejust added in streaming support. Pilots can now activate Twitch streaming right from the Neocom panel by logging into their Twitch account. This functionality is really basic, but CCP are considering adding overlay support and the ability to delay the stream, if people like it and use the streaming feature. Right now I would advise against using it if you are flying in a ship that you can’t afford to replace, because you can guarantee that people will be watching streams to see where easy targets are hiding out....

Finally, a proper gameplay trailer for Binding of Isaac prequel The Legend of Bum-bo

Bum-bo want coin, Brett want Bum-bo We’ve known about Edmund McMillan and James Id’sThe Legend of Bum-bofor a good long while now, but we’ve never actually known much about it. Bum-bo is a companion inThe Binding of Isaac, and this game has been billed as a prequel to Isaac’s macabre downward journey. Also, it’s some sort of hybrid randomly-generated, spell-casting, match-4, turn-based puzzle RPG. It’s a lot to process, especially from the limited teases we’ve seen....

First OC ReMix album of 2012 shows love to unsung RPGs

OverClocked ReMix has officially rung in the new year with it’s first album of 2012. TitledUnsung Heroes, it is a celebration of many classic RPGs that, though beloved, are rarely sourced for fan-made musical tributes. The appearance of this album is a bit ironic, however, considering thatOCR’s previous releasewas based on a game that likewise never got brought up in arrangement discussions prior. No matter. Variety is the word once again, as 14 artists take on 15 solid but often overlooked RPGs via an array of musical styles....

First screens of Top Spin 3 on the DS

I don’t own a DS. But as far as I’m aware, there aren’t that many sports sims, let alone sportsgames, on it. So it’s good to see that some game companies are paying attention to the handheld. 2K Sports has been working onTop Spin 3for a while now, and so far, we’ve only seenimages of the HD (i.e., PS3/360) versions of the game. As for video footage, they showed off the Wii version of the game last month at the2008 Sony Ericsson Open....

Hands-on: Homefront single-player

Last month, I was fortunate to be in THQ’s brand new (and massive) new development studio, THQ Montreal. It’s a beautiful place, with all sorts of snazzy offerings for the future Quebecois employees. However, while that’s all grand and good, THQ actually had something they wanted to show off: the single player forHomefront, their upcoming first person shooter due next spring. Hamza checked out themultiplayerlast month, but you’ll want to hear how the single player pans out....
