Lara Croft for Nintendo Wii
Category: Nintendo, General, Nintendo Wii | 
Leave a Comment
Apparently Lara Croft is a gamer and, if these new renderings from Eidos are any indication, loving her Wii.
Now obviously these are designed to help promote her debut on the Nintendo Wii, but come on… somewhere there’s a Nintendo fanboy fantasizing about this.
Oh, and if the kind young woman over at Between the Sheets is […]

Category: Column: The Aberrant Gamer | Leave a Comment
[The Aberrant Gamer is a weekly, somewhat NSFW column by Leigh Alexander, dedicated to the kinks and quirks we gamers tend to keep under our hats – those predilections and peccadilloes less commonly discussed in conventional media.]

GameFly Just Got Better - East Coast Distribution
Category: Industry, News, Announcements | Leave a Comment
In the past I have tried many different rental services for games. When I last wrote up a bout between Blockbuster and GameFly, I still had enjoyed Blockbusters service, but a lazy part of me enjoyed GameFly.
There had previously been rumors of a facility opening in Texas, I am unsure if that had went […]

Activision sued over Guitar Hero’s mono sound issue
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
There’s something about rocking out with your cock out and lawsuits that seem to go hand in hand, whether it comes to the legality of mosh pits or whose song was whose first.

Crossposting Patrick Murphy’s recently Gamasutra-run ‘Road to the IGF’ feature, we talk to Invisible Handlebar’s Dylan Fitterer about the developer’s IGF 2008 Seumas McNally Grand Prize finalist Audiosurf.
The PC indie title was born from a fascination with merging music visualizers and gameplay to create an emotional response. Audiosurf is also a finalist in the […]

It’s fair to say that Sonic the Hedgehog fell on hard times when the industry moved out of the 16bit era. Despite a few glimmers of hope, the once-beloved mascot never truly coped with the evolution of videogames and has become, for all intents and purposes, one of the industry’s saddest jokes.
That said, the progression […]
