If you thought I was done relating uncomfortable anecdotes from San Diego Comic-Con, you would be wrong.
Sometime after my humiliation at the LucasArts booth (to which I subjected myself for the Cause), I found myself strolling down one of the more peaceful aisles on the showroom floor. At a black-draped booth was a dignified older […]

Wait. Wait. I know you’ve played this game. In fact, I hope you’ve played this game. I hope you’ve played both Earthworm Jim games, and you love them to death.
I also hope, however, that you don’t realize just how original, unusual, and cross-genre the sequel to Earthworm Jim really was. If you can truly fathom […]

Regular GSW readers may recall that smallish portable developer WayForward, the folks behind Shantae and the upcoming Contra IV, are particularly appreciated by us for their nimble, smartly drawn, intelligent takes on classic gaming. So it’s cool that MTV News’ Stephen Totilo chatted to WayForward creative director Matt Bozon last week, touching on a […]

I found the above video on BoingBoing a few moments ago and while no one seems to know whether these kids are actually trying to harm each other, this is some pre-planned show, or if this is how Tetriminoes mate, in the end does it really matter?

I did everything there was to do at PAX. I visited various panels, walked the show floor, hung out with the community, witnessed a poor hobo get solicited for sex (no joke) and hit up a few parties. I did everything except pay attention to the Omegathon competition. The last thing I wanted to do […]

D3 Publisher’s flagship demo at this year’s Penny Arcade Expo was the third-person shooter, Dark Sector. They walked us through this next-generation title, showing off heaping helpings of glorious limb slicing and head decapitation.
Players take the role of Hayden Tenno, a agent sent on an assassination mission only to find himself attacked and infected with […]

Survey says that casual games are bringing families together

Can a Wii fix your broken family? Are casual games good for everyone?
In a recent survey polling 7,500 casual gaming adults, about a third had children or grandchildren who played casual games in their home, and 80 percent of them play the games along with these children. Gamespot says that 92 percent of these people […]

The obvious big release for this week is Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. From what I saw and from what Topher described to me in regards to the controls when he was trying it out on the PAX show floor, it looked great.
Aside from that, Dynasty Warriors: Gundam is looking hawt to me thanks to Sterling […]

Hey, Valve likes Electronic Arts, so what’s your problem? In an interview with Eurogamer, Valve’s Gabe Newell wonders the same thing.
"Everybody always tells us what a horrible monster EA is supposed to be," he said, "and we keep waiting for the hair to sprout out and the fangs to grow."
Newell and the folks at Valve […]

There’s no denying that electronics giant Sony has the art of branding down pat. They’re still using the name Walkman for various products after almost 30 years, and we still know what it means (for the most part). Now it looks like they may be using one of their most popular brand names for cellular […]
