Sonic RPG Coming Down The Pipes

I’m not sure whether Sega realizes the amount of torment that die-hard Sonic fans have been through over the years. Flops, delays, cancellations and all around piss-poor franchise management has seen the once mighty hedgehog become the subject of rolling eyes and derision. That may be the reason that for the next installment […]

On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness

I don’t know if you’re aware, but the guys behind the immensely popular web comic Penny Arcade are more than a pretty face. When they’re not mouthing off about the problems of the industry, holding conferences geared for gamers, or raising oodles of cash for children’s hospitals, the comic’s creators are putting their […]

Skincare Coming To A DS Near You

Not a typo. Not a joke, I swear to you this is true. Nintendo, stalwart in its quest to come up with the weirdest game known to humankind, has decided that gamers are sadly lacking in proper skin care practices, and are stepping in to educate the masses. (Honestly, I’m not sure […]

12-Year Old Finds Hint Line/Sex Line Swap

Well I’ll be darned. Apparently the telephone hint lines that publishing companies sometimes put on the jackets of video games, now superseded largely by web-based applications, don’t have an infinitie lifespan.
Sony included one such number on the cover of games like Ratchet & Clank, and when 12-year old Ammon Bricker found himself stuck […]

IGE Faces Legal Challenge From WoW Gamer

In my youth and stupidity, I admit to working for an enterprise funded by a real money transfer outfit. Not surprisingly, the extremely promising project flopped, leaving me with a lingering bitterness towards the whole “secondary market” scene of MMORPG’s. In spite of that, I see the growth and eventual acceptance of these […]

Gratuitous Video Posting: CoD4 Gameplay

I can’t help it…the World War shooters, they get me every time. I’m like a sports game junkie, reviled, ostracised and loathed for my addiction, but unable to resist.
Here’s some intense gameplay footage from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, on a night map entitled “The Bog”.

Lego Madness: Indy Next?

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, what with the astounding cult success of the Lego Star Wars game, but I’m starting to get teeth-grindingly aggravated by the way that folks are jumping on every hot fad and neat thing to hit the gaming scene, and killing it until it’s dead with overuse and under-creativity.

Video Games Best The Music Biz?

A report from Pricewaterhouse Coopers indicates that video game consumerism in the U.S. may overtake sales of music, mirroring a wider, global trend. In its annual “Global Entertainment and Media Outlook” report, the firm outlines expected growth patterns for all types of entertainment and media for the years 2007-2011.
Led by climbing Asian numbers, the annual […]

Intel Says Wallhacks Be Gone!

Hate wall hacks? Think that aimbots are the lamest excuse for programming ever? Yeah, me too. I always wonder how people using cheats ever derive satisfaction from playing, when they know that their results are not because of their own talent.
Intel has something coming down the pipes that could help to swing […]

Star Craft II Multiplayer At BlizzCon

As if rabid Blizzard fans didn’t have enough reason to be excited about BlizzCon 2007, Blizzard Entertainment has confirmed Star Craft II as playable for attendees to the mammoth convention in August of this year.
The game itself has just barely squeezed from the realm of rumor to that of reality, but here Blizzard […]
