The DOJO began the week in a horrible way with Friends Codes. Just hearing those words brings a shiver down my spine. Anyway, you need to enter your friend’s Code once and it’s stored in the system. You can also have little status messages that only your friends can see. So call them a sh*t […]

Category: | Leave a Comment
Gonna cross-post this one briefly from Gamasutra, not least because I owe a debt of gratitude to new GameSetWatch columnist Chris Dahlen for discussing Weisman’s new venture with me and therefore helping me stumble across this rather unpublicized announcement. Also - really looking forward to see what these smart folks cook up:

Not the classic RPG type? Maybe some […]

Gee, thanks Nintendo: No Brawl in Europe until at least July
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
You know, it seems like only yesterday that I’d finally been given hope that Nintendo had decided not to keep screwing people over in the European territories. Well, looks like the Big N isn’t quite finished stomping on the Eurotrash and giving us a nice, hard kick in the teeth. If you were hoping for […]

The fight looks like Parlament is going to win with his knife and cake but then Kingg With A K unleashes the […]

Sorry loyal YTMND lovers, I had to cut YTMND Thursday short this week. The year is nearing to a close and it’s time for me to go through every single YTMND Thursday I have ever done this year and do the annual YTMND best of. YTMND Thursday will be taking a break next week as […]

Now that consumers can access the Playstation Store without even touching a PS3, Sony has decided to take the next logical step and cut the computer out of the picture. Sony is also working on an iTunes like syncing funtionality for the PSP and Mac support will be forthcoming.
