Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Sorry, I’m a little late. Okay, really late. But a game like Advance Wars: Days of Ruin takes some time to cozy up to. It’s an Advance Wars game, baby — you gotta light some candles, get comfortable, kick back on a plush couch and/or armchair of your choosing and wait for the right moment. […]

Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
While I don’t watch professional wrestling anymore, there was once a time when WWE was the pinnacle of my televisual week. One of my favorite wrestlers of all time was Christian, now known as Christian Cage in TNA, and I’ve just been given a reason to love him all over again — he’s become a […]

Some more GameSetLinks, then, and some of the notable new links include an excellent interview with Jamie Fristrom (co-creator of XNA-developed title Schizoid), as well as a Wall Street Journal piece on art-game The Passage.
The WSJ piece seems notable to me because it shows the value of games such as this in broadening the […]

Hal Halpin lends a hand in the Fox News pressure
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
With Cooper Lawrence having retracted the statements she made on Fox News‘ reckless Mass Effect sex "scandal," the channel has some egg to wipe from its metaphorical face, but so far has remained tight lipped and arrogantly unapologetic. EA’s request for a retraction has been ignored, and it is now the turn of Hal Halpin, […]

You know how it works! With the help of each other, try to figure out all of the disguised game covers. They all share a common theme that, once solved, can help you figure out the harder ones. This week’s theme is annoying easy, but some of the hard teasers may prove too difficult for […]

EA and Marvel no longer BFFs, dissolve relationship
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
If the super hero fighting action in the above video looks like your cup of tea, too freakin’ bad. GameTap is reporting that Electronic Arts and Marvel have "jointly agreed to discontinue development of the Marvel titles under the EA Games Label."
This news isn’t too surprising, revealed not long after EA sent everyone who worked […]

The Podcastle 5 records tomorrow: Legislation nation
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
It’s that gruesome time once again, as yet another trip to the dank and damp Podcastle is approaching. Atheistium is polishing the ramparts, yours truly has set the banquet table, and Wardrox has been let out of the dungeon for a bit. I’m pretending we live in an actual castle, you see, because it makes […]
