Good luck finding Wii Fit if you haven’t pre-ordered. With news that the exercise and fitness “game” from Nintendo is practically walking off the shelves in the UK as fast as they can be stocked (90 units per minute at Woolworths despite a hefty £70 price tag), North American gamers eager to get a shot […]

This has got to me some sort of new low, or manifestation of further neuroses for Jack Thompson. He’s taken his crusade against “murder simulator” GTA IV to a whole new level by writing a scathing, critical letter…to Rockstar head honcho Strauss Zelnick’s mom. Apparently Thompson is under the impression that everyone is […]

It was only a few days ago that I mentioned a fire caused by an Xbox 360, but now there’s another one. And this one could’ve easily had tragic results.
A couple of strangers noticed smoke coming out of a house.
Inside were the woman and her father, who had rushed to the scene inresponse to […]

You’re a game publisher. You launch a multiplayer setup for a game, say that game was Battlefield: Bad Company, and say, that despite the overkill of the both the franchise and the genre in general you actually had people interested in playing it.
Now put yourself into the shoes of a seasoned FPS multiplayer hero. You’re […]

A joint study between the University of Bolton in the UK, and Whitman College in Washington State have found that the more addicted characteristics displayed by a gamer, the more likely they were to display “negative personality traits”. Highly addicted gamers showed increased incidence of neuroticism, lack of extraversion (social withdrawal), and lack of agreeableness.

Normally I would have less to do with Tyra Banks than I would a cockroach (I think she’s an overly opinionated prima donna), but I was guiltily scanning news on b5’s America’s Next Top Model blog TopModelGossip.com , and shortly found myself wandering over to the Tyra Banks Show website where I noticed […]

I love my new shiny aluminum iMac with a fervour that just might creep out the majority of people but one thing that I haven’t been doing a lot of on it, is gaming. It’s kind of like having a new toy that’s missing a screw and so doesn’t quite do all that you’d like […]

Well thank *@$%) for that!
In what had to be one of the stupidest design inclusions in the history of multiplayer gaming, the upcoming Turok game for the 360 and PS3 had an achievement/accomplishment with the following description:
Grab Bag Acheivement: kill at least 1 creature, 1 enemy, 1 teammate, and yourself in a single online […]

In absentia anyway. Nintendo seems to finally be struck with the inventory bug that afflicted both the 360 and the PS3 before it. Word on the street is that demand is so strong for the little console that could, that Nintendo is struggling to provide enough systems to keep consumers handy. Even producing almost two […]

Wow, I honestly don’t know of a company with a ban-bat quite this long.
Two Xbox Live! gamers wiggled their way into Halo 3’s latest phase, code-named Epsilon, for a little bit of fun and a sneak peek at the most anticipated game of the year. Little did SCAR and dak think that their poking […]
