Browsing big sister site Gamasutra’s comments earlier, I came across a new comment on the (fairly recent) story ‘LucasArts President Ward Steps Down’, and it’s worth reprinting here.
Of course, we have no way of proving whether this anonymous commenter is at LucasArts. But he certainly seems to have some interesting (if cynical) insight into […]

Eric Walter has one hell of a job. He was tasked by Nintendo of America to plan and coordinate a nationwide pre-release tournament for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, one of the mostly hotly anticipated games of our generation, on one of the most hotly selling video game consoles of all time. That’s a lot of […]

Category: Xbox 360, News | Leave a Comment
For the full month of February, Call of Duty 4 has been owning the Top 10 games on Major Nelson’s “Live Activity” lists. Where everyone and their mother had predicted Halo 3 would be the “Gears of War Killer” on the list, which it was, no one could have seen the mammoth amount of […]

I know some people swear by Super Turrican, but to me, playing it for the first time as an adult, it feels like a very average shooter. Despite having great level design, and a few bells and whistles (there’s one part where you’re being blown backwards by the wind a la Lost Levels), the game […]

EIEIO 2008: It’s happening, it’s cold, and I can’t talk about any games
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
I’m currently in Austin, Texas, location of the headquarters of Gamecock Media Group, and site of EIEIO 2008. The event is currently taking place at Austin’s famous Stubb’s Bar-B-Q, which contains a pretty open concert space, and God damn is it cold out here. Weather.com is currently reporting 37 degrees (feels like 30!), with light […]

Polish gaming Web site Polygamia tells us that the Army of Two street date was broken over there, but that’s not the real news item. Our focus here is on a bit of history that Electronic Arts seems to have missed.

YTMND Thursday: Birdo is a hot girl/guy/monster thingy
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Not a bad week in YTMND land. Some of my picks are really cheesy, but overall, I really liked this batch. My favorites this week are the Birdo cosplay (only because I have an excuse to use the image on the front page) and Flava Mario. The into the Abyss fad has been picking up […]

<!–adsense–> The only problem with checking the gigantic GameSetLinks RSS list twice a week or so is that it takes until Wednesday or Thursday to unspool the links from the previous weekend - and then some of those are from two or three days before that.
Fortunately, most of the stuff we’re linking only ripens with […]
