Not sure whether this was directly inspired by GSW’s recent post about EA_Spouse and the new Game Developer magazine, but the ‘Inner Bits’ blog, written by an anonymous game developer, has posted three detailed posts on the state of overtime in today’s game business.
The first Inner Bits post takes a perhaps overly bleak, but […]

Bargain Bin Laden #17: Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
There's a particular point in this week's BBL that I'm going to say now, because I'll invariably get kicked in the face for saying so — let's get the face-kickin' out of the way as quick as possible. I hold firm the belief that this week's selection, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, is the best […]

The UK has too many broken 360s for one country to handle
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
The Xbox 360 seems to be suffering from inverse karma of late. On the one hand, it's a damn fine machine with a vast library of worthwhile games and a great online service. On the other hand, death seems to eagerly shadow its every footstep.
A couple of weeks ago we brought you news of a […]

Weekend Reading: Pen and paper versus console RPGs, part 2
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Last week, I talked about the difference in storytelling and feeling between pen and paper RPGs and console RPGs. This week, I'm going to be talking about system mechanics and gameplay for the two.

Japanator's intrepid reporter, Zac Bentz, brings us word that the Devil May Cry anime has been licensed by ADV Films. This is a surprising announcement, considering the fact that it's only two episodes into the series, and there have been lackluster reviews about the show. None the less, it looks like we're going to be […]

UK petitions new Prime Minister over Manhunt 2 ban
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Slowly but surely, the wheels of dissent are beginning to turn in the UK. Earlier in the week, ELSPA's former leader let rip a volley of disapproval at the BBFC for its unfair and potentially industry-damaging treatment of Manhunt 2. Now the good citizens of the misty island of castles and unicorns are following […]

Destructoid Network: This week’s finest 07/01/07
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Here's this week's top stories from around the network. The ESRB and European officials continue their crusade against the videogaming culture. Then again, how can you blame them when over zealous fanboys make really stupid Youtube videos. Over on Japanator, we covered the Anime Expo in full glory. Jtor writer WestCabaretDrive along with CheapyD go […]

GameSetLinks: July 1st, 2007

Advance warning - you may find GSW slowing down a little bit next week, starting around Wednesday, since I’m off on holiday to my native England and then Finland/Estonia (and no, I’m not going to see Remedy, we’re just going there for fun to hang with the Moomins.) In the mean time, here’s a […]

Bethesda Softwork’s bloody mess: Fallout 3 … the cake
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
The highlight of Bethesda Softwork's post-Fallout 3 press event party (which took place in the hip, downtown Washington D.C. lounge, Chloe) was not the free booze. I wouldn't even say it was the crowd of highly intoxicated videogame journalists as a result of said free booze. Even the 80s hair metal cover band that rocked […]
