Well, we already did one of these on GSW, but my co-workers have been laboring so hard to cover Austin GDC this week (and my other co-workers laboring to run the show!), that I thought it fair to pick the highlights of their comprehensive coverage of the rest of Thursday and Friday.
Some of the […]

Second Life gets even creepier: Sex with unicorns anyone?
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | 
Leave a Comment
Every time I write a post about how terrifyingly Caligulan Second Life has become I swear on a copy of Jane Eyre that I will never draw more attention to that digital Sodom, but then, some virtual Guccione manages to push the boundaries of e-taste a few more creepy, poorly lubed centimeters and I’m forced […]

Ever remember the days when you would sit next to Grandma’s rocking chair and intently gaze at her needlework with the hope that she would somehow render you a plethora of Bubble Bobble and Pac Man characters made purely from thread, sweat, and prune juice? Yeah, neither do I.
Luckily, there exists a very talented […]

As promised, the first of seven new episodes of the fantastic Street Fighter: The Later Years was released today. It sucks knowing that the series will be over soon, but until then, we’re just going to have to enjoy it while we can. And what better way to bring back the series by having Chun-Li […]

The Scottish game development scene, home of companies such as Crackdown creator Real Time Worlds, is in relatively bonnie health, and Brian Baglow, who runs ScottishGames.biz, kindly pinged GSW to note: “I’m the Screening Director for the Edinburgh Interactive Festival. For last month’s bash I was asked to do something for the industry […]

The DOJO!! week started off less than great. Sure, we got to see Pit racing to help the Smash crew, but they could have done a little more than just what we saw in the video. On Tuesday, we got to see Diddy Kong’s special moves set. For his standard attack, he has a gun […]

Gallery for posterity: The complete Lair Reviewer’s Guide

You’ve read the crap Lair reviews. You’ve rubbernecked through the peculiar string of fatal car crashes that resembles the Factor 5’s feedback about those dirty little playtime diaries. You’re probably as curious as we were when we heard about the 21-page "reviewer’s guide" that popped up today, so we’ve put the whiskey down for a […]

YTMND Thursday: Yes, I’m late but YTMND got hacked or something … edition
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
I’m not exactly sure what happened (as I was extremely busy over the last couple of days) but I’m going to guess that Disney pulled a Sega and contacted YTMND to take down any Disney Princesses related YTMNDs. Whatever the case, it was pretty hilarious to open up YTMND and see Jasmine, Snow White and […]

We just told you about Sony’s PR head Dave Karraker leaving the games industry to get back to the booze business (who wouldn’t want to do that?), and now that today is his last day, Next-Gen.biz has a sort of exit interview with him.
In his interview, he talks about the challenges of heading up public […]
