Dead Nation's expansion gets an expansion today with 'Arcade'
Dead Nation's expansion pack, "Road of Devastation," is about to get a bit less devastating with the addition of the "Arcade" game mode. As the "Road of Devastation" was about surviving against impossible, zombie-filled odds, "Arcade" is about modifying those odds in your favor. That plays out ...
NYC's oldest arcade re-opened as 'a cross between a Dave & Busters and a Chuck E. Cheese'
When Chinatown Fair suddenly closed early last year, the prospects for a re-opening were slim. A variety of owners of the arcade weren't able to agree to a lease negotiation with the property's owner, and the doors to Chinatown Fair in its original form closed for good in late February 2011.

Report: NYC arcade Chinatown Fair reopening

The Japanese console release of Arc System Works' Persona 4-based fighting game is due this summer, but you'll be able to play the game sooner ... if you happen to be near a Japanese arcade or an American arcade that really keeps up. Persona 4: The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena will hit Japanese ...
This is your Tekken Tag Tournament 2 on drugs, any questions?
It's good to know that Tekken Tag Tournament 2 will continue the Tekken series' tradition of being completely and uncontrollably bonkers. Winged wrestlers? Fancy-dress kangaroos? Dragon Ball nimbus clouds? Yup, this is Tekken all right. See if you can spot the homage to Blazblue's Noel Vermillion. ...
Square Enix releasing transforming arcade game 'Gyrozetter,' anime and 3DS title to follow
Let's imagine, for a moment, that we're all 10 years old again. (If you're actually 10 years old, good work.) Can you think of anything even remotely as cool as an arcade game about cars that transform into robots, where the arcade cabinet transforms too? Damn right you can't, because it's the ...
Namco Bandai announces Tekken Tag Tournament 2 field tests in US arcades
"But wait," we hear you say from the other side of the Internet. "Isn't the American arcade scene dead? Haven't coin-op establishments gone the way of the dodo? What kind of fool do you take me for? Hey I'm talkin' to you!" Chill, friend! It's true that the American arcade is not as prolific ...
