'Fanboy' is not a word I like to just throw around like water, idly affixing the label to everyone I meet. Online, the term fanboy, very much like emo, has become far too easily applied to people who truly don't deserve to be deemed as such. Rather, I feel the term should only be applied […]

While most of the musical tracks for id Software's Doom were blatant rip-offs of late-80s and early 90s metal, it's hard to argue that (at least at the time) it didn't kick a whole bunch of ass. There's really nothing like ripping apart a cacodemon with a chainsaw to the soothing sounds of a […]

The Nintendo Wii was made to bring people together to have fun, not just gamers, everyone. Cooking Mama is the perfect game for a system like this because everyone has cooked something in their lifetime. In Cooking Mama you not only cook the food you prepare everything too. So that includes cutting […]

[“Might Have Been” is a kinda bi-weekly column by Todd Ciolek that explores the ways in which promising games, characters, and concepts failed. This week’s edition looks at Beam Software’s Nightshade, released for the NES in 1992.]
Nightshade is a strange one. At first impression, it’s very much like The Secret of Monkey Island, Leisure Suit […]

Our sister-site ThinkComputers got a chance to take a look at the Logitech-X-540 5.1 speaker system in their latest review. It looks like a great system for your PC, Xbox 360, or PS3.

Making successful games is more than just putting together a skilled team of programmers, artists, and writers — it's about synergism and reasonable expectations. Most […]

Hey look, it's Twisted Imp harassing some poor folks on the Vent again! Actually, it's not, it's someone far worse … and funnier. If you don't know what Ventrilo is, go get educated first. Now that you know, you should get a good laugh out of this video. Some person comes into a groups Vent […]

*yawn*
I'll level with you — there's nothing going on today. Granted, it's Saturday, and the industry news bear generally hibernates. For whatever reason, though, today is exceptionally slow.
Truth be told, this guide (found over at wikiHow) on how to make a PlayStation 2 memory card holder out of LEGOs probably wouldn't have made it […]

I've played a few RPGs in my day, but I certainly don't read fan fiction, attend conferences or masturbate to absurdist yaoi depictions of Cloud banging Party of Five's Scott Wolf. As such, it's hard for me to get really intensely excited about anything not beginning with the letter 'F' and ending with […]

Having just posted about Western dating games, there was a comment on that post, from Kevin Cancienne (now at Area/Code) that was notable enough that it’s worth its own GSW post - particularly because it reveals a free Flash game that takes cues from the Japanese norm. Kevin writes:
