Leave a Comment
If the number of Dubyoo-Dubyoo-Eye-Eye-centric video games are any indication, America has a strong thirst for simulated jerry killin'. Between the History Channel's twenty-four hour a day coverage of a war that ended more than sixty years back and the innumerable games placing you squarely in the shoes of Corporal Joe Sixpack or Praporshchik Ivan […]

One of the cool things about the relative accessibility of Sony’s PSP and Nintendo’s DS is that you get some pretty sophisticated ‘homebrew’ programming for them, and even indie developers and publishers can make and release games.
But one of the issues with that low-budget ‘clones’ can quickly spring up, and European publisher Xider just […]

First screens of Contra 4 on the Nintendo DS will make you hate polygons
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Being a fan of pretty much everything retro, I could not be happier with this batch of first screens from the upcoming Contra 4 (not IV?) for the Nintendo DS (check them all out in the gallery below).

Trailer for DS horror shooter Dementium: The Ward online
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Long-term readers may have noticed by now that I've developed rather a thing for Gamecock as a publisher.

HGS 07: Clive Barker on fat people, Jericho, and why video games kick ass
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Clive Barker is sort of a love him or hate him type of guy. For instance, I love his books, hate his movies. And by "his" movies, I of course mean the Hollywood bastardization of his works. But listening to this man speak was interesting, highly entertaining, and surprisingly empowering as a gamer. It was […]

HGS 07: Head honchos of LucasArts and EA talk game movies and Wii lightsabers
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
This session of the event is pretty technical, so here's a trailer of LucasArt's Fracture to keep you entertained while you listen. The talk of a lightsaber experience on the Wii, the possibilities of a Fracture feature film, and how Jim Ward thinks Indiana Jones could pwn Lara Croft (yeah right, bewbs > wrinkles) are […]

HGS 07: Masters of the MMO (alternatively: How is SOE still in business?)
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Moderated by Corey Bridges, Executive Producer for the Multiverse Network (who gets an A for Effort and an S for STFUALRPS), this event was really about hoping that the guy who made World of Warcraft would publicly ridicule the guy who made such digital clusterf*cks as Star Wars Galaxies and The Matrix Online. Hit the […]
