Upon going back and listening to nine weeks worth of Mushroom Singdoms, I came to the conclusion that I was relying too heavily on my classic "guy and guitar" mold. Since that’s only a fraction of the kind of stuff I do, I decided to break out the instruments and diversify. Sure, I only have […]

Janco analyst Mike Hickey has insight on business and the gaming industry. He’s also a talented sorcerer, capable of not only predicting the future, but also turning animals into stone. I’ve seen it with my own two eyes, and it was mind blowing.
In his latest report on Take-Two, Hickey predicts that the publisher will soon […]

Valve uncertain about the future of episodic gaming
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Valve might be dropping the whole concept of episodic gaming once Half-Life 2: Episode 3 finally sees the light of day. While that release may seem like a distant prospect with Episode 2 still awaiting its delayed release, Gabe Newell has admitted that the conclusion of the trilogy is going to be a time for […]

I knew Halo 3 was going to be popular, but this is just re-damn-diculous. According to recently released sales figures, Halo 3 has sold 1.8 million copies in it’s first eight hours. To break that down for you all: That’s 3,750 units sold a minute, every minute, for eight hours.

If this trend continues, Microsoft […]

With the huge lines at Level 5’s Tokyo Game Show booth, I was certain that people were lining up to play the upcoming PS3 RPG Shirokishi Monogatari (White Knight Story), but it turns out that they just wanted the free DS cartridge. I was much more interested in getting my hands on White Knight Story […]

Devil Kings was utter garbage, so here’s some Devil Kings 2 info

As the obsessive Dynasty Warriors fan I am, I make it a point to check out each and every game that copies Koei’s formula, to see if anybody does what Koei doesn’t and actually improves the idea of the ‘beat-em-all’ gameplay style. So far, the results have been disappointing — Drakengard and Spartan: Total Warrior […]

Very much like Florian "Has won a powerful enemy" Eckhardt, it seems that 7-11 is both made of fail and due an almighty smack upside the head. Although the store chain is far from known for its sale of videogames, the biggest launch of the year in Halo 3 was just too much for the […]

Space Time Play Crazy Academic World
Category: | Leave a Comment
We just got sent a honest-to-gosh paper copy of this book, so it’s good timing that Jesper Juul has also pointed out that “…Space Time Play is a new anthology on video games edited by Friedrich von Borries, Steffen P. Walz and Matthias Böttger” - and out this month.
Now, it does have to be […]

Some new tips drop into my in-box like a shiny big dollop of liquid gold. From the day the Wii was announced, FPS on the machine has been at the forefront of my mind, and I’ve had a vaguely realized image of a perfect example of the genre steadily gestating in my big old brain […]

Sex Pistols re-record ‘Anarchy in the UK’ for Guitar Hero III
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Aaah, the Sex Pistols. One of the biggest exponents of being able to make money from babbling incoherently into a microphone, they were the crowning pinnacle of the 70’s Punk Rock movement. Now you can relive the glory days of illogical political ideals and unwarranted rudeness with the inclusion of Anarchy in the UK in […]
