The Wii phenomenon is still picking up steam around the globe, so much so that Wii-related phrases, terms, and yes, even physical ailments are becoming part of our vernacular.
Witness two new additions to the Urban Dictionary:
Nintendonitis. n. A chronic painful condition that effects the muscles or joints in the hand, fingers and/or forearm after […]

In semi-final action, the Chimera pulled off a tremendous comeback, recovering from a series of losses and sticking it to the nearly invincible Counter-Strike team of the New York 3D, and […]

Nothing like a kick in the teeth to get an entire continent snarling with discontent. Microsoft has skill in that area, judging by the recent announcement that it’s showcase European even, X0, would be cancelled for 2007.
Citing a desire to promote big ticket games like Halo 3, Forza Motorsport 2, and Bioshock: mass Effect […]

If there’s one thing that gaming companies excel at in the business sphere of the industry, it’s shady dealings and shoddy paperwork. Looks like two more major players have fallen on the wrong side of various authorities.
Just like Activision, Atari has shown that it can’t (or won’t) keep proper books to satisfy NASDAQ, and […]

See it’s this kind of thing that pisses me off about the gaming industry hype machine.
