You know, not too many people liked the Nintendo GameCube. I’m not entirely sure why. I loved the GameCube. I will admit freely that I liked Super Mario Sunshine. I still play the ‘cube from time to time just for Rogue Squadron 2. Either way, I was among the few people on the planet that […]

November was a great month for hardware sales, but it was even better for software, with sales up 62 percent to an incredible $1.3 billion. These days, it’s in high fashion to "claim" titles in NPD’s top ten chart as victories for the related consoles. In days past, this was only done with exclusives, but […]

[This has been a good few months in the making, but we’re delighted to launch GameSetApparel, which is GameSetWatch doing something fun with custom, game-themed T-shirts. If you like GSW itself and the T-shirt designs, I hope you’ll help support it by picking up a stylish shirt or pre-ordering the full set. Yay.]
GameSetApparel is the […]

Even though the monthly NPD data is used by all game companies to gauge sales and successes, we have to be mindful of how those numbers are presented. This highly competitive industry has quickly learned how to take something negative and make it sound amazing, and likewise, they’ve become skilled at making an enemies’ victories […]

The latest installment of Street Fighter: The Later Years continues right where the cliffhanger ending of episode 6 left off. Best of all, we finally get to see E. Honda — well, his fat anyway.
As the fighters gear up and prepare themselves for the tournament, it’s revealed that fake Ryu (E. Honda) and Blanka are […]

When Harmonix finally came out about word that Activision had been blocking attempts to allow the PS3 Guitar Hero III peripheral to work with Rock Band, we knew it wouldn’t be long before Activision were ready to comment. (They didn’t respond to our initial contact regarding the rumor.)
According to Activision, there are always two sides […]

The Podcastle episode two: The big three doth quake
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Episode two of The Podcastle has arrived on the fair shores of Blighty and what a show we have for you. By that, I simply mean we have a show, with no guarantee of quality. Atheistium is sadly missing from this second episode since her dog ate her headset, but we managed to replace her […]

The Behemoth has opened its online store today, and the Castle Crashers figures we featured a few months ago are available to anyone who might have missed the opportunity to snatch them up at this year’s Penny Arcade Expo. There are only about 50 of […]

Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
You can’t always be "on," right? Everyone has to take a break sometime, and this week it seems that the people at the PlayStation Network Content Making Headquarters (or whatever it’s called) have their feet up on their desks, eating Cheez-its and watching YouTube clips.
We’re kind of jazzed about Burnout Paradise (764mb), but it sucks […]

Rumor: Activision already testing Guitar Hero IV, making room for all that cash

Activision have already been very clear that they intend to exploit the Guitar Hero franchise (along with Tony Hawk and Call of Duty) every damned year until humans evolve to the point where we no longer have ears. So it’s no surprise that Guitar Hero IV is in the works — that was already a […]
