Having just debuted his Independent Games Summit lecture video, I had a chance to go check out Jonathan Blow’s blog, and there-in he has a very interesting post on Space Giraffe, dealing with the minor critical dust-up currently going on over whether Jeff Minter’s new XBLA game is, uhh, any good or not - […]

When Brad Rice approached me about starting a new feature, I immediately grabbed my wacom pen and chased him around the office making stabby motions. I have enough to do without him dumping more on my plate, and this time he’d gone too far. I pursued our helpless Features Editor through the long halls of […]

Like Nex, I ventured to our meeting with Destineer with a bit of trepidation. A game about stock car racing? That’s more or less the human equivalent of running in a hamster wheel, isn’t it? As someone who thinks that Forza Motorsport’s most important contribution is antiquated racism, I’m not exactly a good candidate to […]

Is the NZXT Lexa Blackline PC Case for you? Our sister-site ThinkComputers thinks so! The case received their Editor’s Choice Award. From the review, “Menacing. That’s the word NZXT uses to describe its Lexa Blackline performance gaming chassis. The massive beast, black skinned and glowing red, is a quiet monstrosity perfect for […]

Best. Trailer. Ever! If playing the demo for Electronic Arts’ The Simpsons wasn’t enough to make me want to buy it, then this trailer sealed the deal. Making fun of other World War II games, the newest Simpsons game trailer takes scenes from their "Medal of Homer" level, and recreates those sappy fallen war heroes […]

COLUMN: ‘Game Mag Weaseling’: All About Amiga Game Zone
Category: Column: Game Mag Weaseling | Leave a Comment
On Ebay the other day I got a complete collection of Amiga Game Zone, the United States’ first, last and only magazine devoted entirely to Amiga games. A complete collection’s only three issues, yes, but it was still a major feat in my book — after all, publisher/editor Geoff Miller states in his page on […]

Weekend Destructainment: Massive penetration edition

The Internet has spawned many musicians and weirdos who like to cover the legendary original Mario Bros theme song. While most are good, I’m surprised that its taken this long for someone to finally fuse them all together like this. I loved how the Mario Twins were thrown in at the end. [Spotted on kwaselow’s […]

Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
While not as cool as the BioShock easter egg we told you about earlier, the flight simulator hidden in Google Earth is unexpected and kind of fun.
TechCrunch tells us about the flight sim stashed away in Google’s world map software, which takes advantage of the tons of satelite imagery Google Earth uses. I wonder what […]
