Category: PC, General, News, Announcements, Sales Figures | 
Leave a Comment
The latest NPD results are in for PC gaming during the whole of 2007, and they show two distinct things: PC gaming revenue is down overall, at least in terms of over the counter retail sales; the same old faces are topping the charts for sales, with add-ons, expansion packs and alternate versions of existing […]

Ah, yes, the latest GameSetLinks - those fine fragments of the Internet which transmit gaming goodness from the writers, through me, to you. And there’s various neatness here.
In particular, I like GameTap Read’s (pictured) look at Sunnyvale Golfland, which is promised to be the first in a series looking at the state of the […]

Weekend Destructainment: Hyper Parsnip Bitches!
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
You all know that I am a huge Paul Robertson fan. So it’s always great to come across new films by him. Hyper Parsnip Bitches is actually an old film of his from 2001 that I’ve never seen before. This film is similar to Pirate Baby’s Cabana Battle Street Fight 2006 with the side […]

[Two key Wii titles in Japan are the just-launched No More Heroes and the about-to-launch Super Smash Bros Melee, and Japanmanship’s JC Barnett kindly let us and Gamasutra edit and reprint a recent post of his that looks at the reception for the former and how it maps to the latter - is SSBM […]

If you’re not interested in No More Heroes, you probably don’t have a Wii. Suda 51’s nonlinear, pop-otaku, lightsaber ultraviolence epic has been highly anticipated by both action junkies hankering for something more mature to play on their Wiis, and diehard fans of Suda 51 himself. No More Heroes seeks to integrate motion-controlled lightsaber combat […]

First sighting: Japanese Smash Bros Brawl Demo spotted in the wild
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Reporting on any Non-Nintendo sanctioned Smash Bros Brawl info has been like reporting on UFO or Bigfoot sightings. For literally years now, "Is this footage real?", and "Can I confirm the source?" are the first things that go through any game bloggers mind when deciding on whether or not to post Brawl related news. Well, […]

Patapon demo includes exclusive item, foul-mouthed creatures
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
I’ve only had about three chances to play Patapon at industry events over the past few months, and all three of those times I’ve found myself totally entranced by the game. I think my fascination has something to do with the foul mouths of the Patapon tribe. They insult everything, insult each other, and even […]

Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Do not adjust your set, you really did read that Cooper Lawrence, the psychologist who appeared in Fox’s unfair and unfounded slander against Mass Effect, has admitted that she "misspoke" about the game and has actually done the right thing in retracting her comments. Having now actually done what she should have done and watched […]

Indie Spotlight: Barkley Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden (Tales of Game’s Studios)
Category: | Leave a Comment
[TimW originally wrote this over at the IndieGames Blog, but this is such a wonderfully obtuse game that it’s worth highlighting over here as well. Riffing off the old Charles Barkley console game and using the DIY-styled RPG Maker software to spoof the RPG genre, the game is so ironic, it hurts. But it also […]
