Ahmed Farooq, a gentleman who we believe in explicitly, just e-mailed the Robotipophone (yes, I'm making up new terms for it every day) to let us know that Wowhead, one of the preeminent World of Warcraft information sites, has been purchased for a cool one million bones by a group known as Affinity Media.
If that's […]

Sony patches PSP processor potential; perplexed patrons ponder prior pertinence
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
(Editor's Note: Five bones to the first one of you who provides me with a proper synonym for 'Sony' that begins with a 'P'. Otherwise it's suicide for me, yet again. — Nex)
In the terribly one-sided handheld race, no one has ever claimed that the PSP was a "gimped" machine, and yet, apparently it was.

The game is Onimusha: The Game: The Movie: The Game: Starring Jean Reno, and it's got more badass French people than you can shake a goddamned stick at. Says tazarth:

According to 1UP, David Jaffe and Incognito Entertainment head Scott Campbell are forming a new, independent studio to be based out of sunny Utah.

Gamers: the best play about elves and dragons since Hamlet
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
There have been alot of shows, random videos, and shorts lately based on or inspired by videogames, so it was with a weary and reluctant heart that I watched Gamers, a freaking play of all things (Eww! Gross! Culture!). But this little one-man show had something all too many of the others don't. It […]

Capcom has posted an animated image of Chun-Li's continue screen from the upcoming Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network title, Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, and a crying, battered woman has never looked better.

So, I’ve been trying out Backbone and Konami’s Brooktown High for PSP, even though it really hasn’t been getting good reviews at all. [GameSpy’s 1.5 out of 5 stars is the lowest, but the GameRankings average is a slightly awful 53%. And it’s pretty clear, from the small amount of GameFAQs discussions - and […]

New Lumines Live! content coming, benefits a good cause
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
I like Lumines Live quite a bit, but I wasn't such a big fan of the nickel and dime add-ons I (reluctantly) ended up buying. I was, however, a big fan of the free "Heavenly Star" DLC that was offered up a few months ago. Here's the middle ground — DLC that costs money, benefits […]
