Leave a Comment
I thought the holiday season was supposed to be the most murderous, time-sucking part of the year, but I was wrong. What was once a traditionally lazy span of months before the spring blitz has, in 2008, become a thing of nightmares, with great games coming at me from every angle. And with many of […]

The gang at 1Up snagged some footage of the game giving Street Fighter fanatics a really good look at how all the revealed Street Fighter IV look like in action. The above video is a […]

Category: | Leave a Comment
Wow, you know - GDC is coming up really soon now, and we’re all scrambling to get ready here. In the meantime, some wonderful GameSetLinks, including Jason Scott on King Of Kong (one final time!), and a Forbes article on the future of gaming that may or may not be well-informed.
I also enjoyed Cliffski’s […]

IndieCade: Night Journey, Braid, and the importance of indie games
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
The signs of growing independent game development are all around us: Everyday Shooter is but the latest in a long string of indie games to be published on a large scale, Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden is taking the gameosphere by storm, and festivals like IGF and Slamdance are bigger than ever.
However, indie games […]

Ah, this is refreshing. I don’t say that as a fanboy of any particular console, but more as the person who digs through the NPD data every month. It’s nice to see something different!
The PlayStation 3 has a good start this year with 269,000 units sold, beating out Microsoft’s number of 230,000. I’m glad to […]

PlayStation Network Update: LittleBig… oh, it’s just a video
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Damn it, where’s my LittleBigPlanet? Sony, you guys better have some good news for us next week at GDC 2008.
Sadly, there’s no consolation prize this week. There’s only one PS3 demo this week, and it’s for MLB 08 The Show. If baseball is your thing, you’ll want to grab this 1.01 GB download.
You’re actually a […]

[Just wanted to reprint this release in full, because it’s a pretty big deal for game awards in general - and the IGF and Choice Awards in particular. This is the first time that an indie game awards or the Choice Awards have been televised (though they have been streamed in previous years), and […]

WoC will contain new content for the single-player campaign and the multiplayer […]
