I received a tip from a 1PStart reader that Microsoft put together a video showing off what we should expect in the upcoming Xbox 360 Spring dashboard update. The number of changes are numerous but some of the most impressive are being able to see people on your MSN messenger buddy list on your […]

Chris Remo over at Shacknews brings us word of an impending slice of drama that has made me giggle like a school girl with a vibrator for the last couple minutes. It seems that the just-released S.T.A.L.K.E.R.:Shadow of Chernobyl might just contain some in-game assets originally created by id and Valve for Doom 3 […]

Richard Stallman hates consoles, being mistaken for Zombie Orson Welles
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Richard Stallman is a large man. A large man with a beard that could easily hide a family of poor, migrant workers from La Migra for days on end. Am I claiming that Mr. Stallman is guilty of hiding illegal immigrants in his beard for fun and profit? No, I'm claiming that he hates video […]

Gametap has such a soft spot for the retro gamer. I remember the first time I logged in, I spent the first 20 minutes salivating on my keyboard at the range of classic titles they offered (Infocom has it's own CATEGORY?? ROCK). You never know though — a subscription service has to remain worthwhile, […]

*knock knock* No thanks man, I don’t want a REAL challenge. You see, video games are an escape from reality to me. A way to unwind and have fun. I don’t want to really shoot people and get shot at. I want to shoot NPCs or other players over the internet, […]

So, there’s a new issue of Way Of The Rodent out, where-in the charmingly ramshackle UK online mag wanders through a number of random PS3 launch-related topics. But also in there is ‘This Gaming Life’, by Mr. Nath - which I like.
In this NGJ-y picture/caption piece, the protagonist wanders through pieces of game hardware […]

With the new price cut on the PSP, and the success of the DS, I was thinking about going portable. I had a PSP when it first came out I loved it, but there were no games and the memory sticks were outrageous. So when some pixels burned out I just got my money back. […]

A PS3 vs. your girlfriend: it’s like Sophie’s Choice, only more dramatic
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Forget the scary crying baby and exploding Rubik’s cube, this should have been the PS3’s marketing campaign from the start. Maybe things would have turned out better.
Comparing girlfriends with technology is always fun (and surprisingly effective). Just the other day I bought an iPod because I realized that, it’s true, girlfriends can’t play the […]
