Actually, this started out as a GameSetWatch-specific story, but as I dug further, it ended up being interesting and mainstream industry relevant-enough enough that we ran it on Gamasutra this morning. Nonetheless, we’ll reprint it here and then I’ll give you some bonus commentary, how’s that?
“On the eve of Guitar Hero III’s launch, Gamasutra […]

Category: | 
Leave a Comment
Continuing to round up ‘things I did on my winter holiday’ at Kotaku, I decided to poll some of the high-profile game developers on the Advisory Committee for the Game Developers Choice Awards, and ask what games really influenced and inspired them, early in their life/career.
There were some pretty interesting choices from the respondents, […]

I thought I would wrap up the Destructoid Network this week by highlight all the promoted stories that the Community members that did an excellent job on. You all were amazing and it was great working with all of you. Don’t be too surprised to see another promotion week coming up in a couple of […]

New Releases: Week of November 25th, 2007

Wow, this week, a pretty short release list, so short I got bored and pulled up a picture for the box of each game! I am guessing the week after Black Friday is meant for everyone to pick up games already out, games like Link’s Crossbow Training, Mass Effect, Uncharted, Rock Band, Assassins […]

Let me make one thing perfectly clear right now: I am a huge BioWare fanboy. Baldur’s Gate, Baldur’s Gate II, Neverwinter Nights, Jade Empire and Knights of the Old Republic still populate my games collection and I go back to them regularly. So, when I heard that BioWare was working on an entirely original IP […]

RetroforceGO! recording episode 25 tonight: Chiptunes & a chat with Bit Shifter
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
We receive many emails every week here at RFGO, and most of them are filled with questions. "What is it with Chad and dolphins? Is Chad single? When are you making Chad Concelmo action figures? Can I meet Chad? Can I have him? Can I tie Chad up in my basement?"
Possibly the most frequently asked […]

Destructoid’s games of the week for 11/25/2007: Is this a cop out edition?
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
It’s a video. Watch it.
Why?
First, because I’m utterly fascinated with both foreign girls AND spunky indie girls; Superbus lead Jennifer Ayache is the epitome of everything I love about women, and as soon as I’m done with this Cherry Coke, I’m going to make her my wife.
Second, that video proves why Guitar Hero III trumps […]

As if gold farming couldn’t get any worse, now it funds pederasty

As an amateur Internet historian and a professional whatever-I-do-here, most of my skills are completely underwhelming. As often as I tell women in bars that I’m really very hilarious (on the Internet), few seem to offer me immediate sex or money, at least until I mention that I’m also a certified brain surgeon … which […]

COLUMN: ‘Game Mag Weaseling’: Mag Roundup 11/24/07
Category: Column: Game Mag Weaseling | Leave a Comment
A couple of developments in PC game mags occurred recently that’re more related than you’d expect at first glance. First, Imagine Publishing’s Total PC Gaming debuted on British newsstands this month with a print run of 40,000, becoming the first computer games magazine to launch over there in many, many years (over a decade, maybe?).

Subotron seeks electronic culture artists for Viennese salon, adoring groupies

Every once in a while, in between the e-mails demonstrating all the inventive ways in which women conceal their naughty bits behind gaming appliances, and pictures of Brian Crecente’s head pasted on a centuar, we receive missives that are of real importance. With gaming quickly becoming the latest de facto iteration of the world’s youth […]
