A little-read NeoGAF thread from a couple of days ago (via Ferricide, thanks!) has uncovered a pretty spectacular piece of oddness, and we’re delighted to pass it on to you:
“So a friend of mine that worked on this game just sent this over to me, and I figured GAF might enjoy it. Irrational’s game, […]

Ever since HD DVD as a format died a bitter death back in early February, there has been speculation over what Microsoft would do now that their decision to support the format has gone horribly wrong. Now it seems that they are at least talking to Sony about the possibility of a Blu-ray drive for […]

Why aren’t there more co-op games? Why are so many modern titles focused either on only singleplayer campaigns and multiplayer deathmatches, with multiplayer co-op often acting as nothing more than an afterthought? The act of going through an entire campaign with the help of a close friend or online stranger can, in theory, combine the […]

Rumortoid: KOTOR MMO, RPG, or nonsense: You decide
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
They may not nail it 100% of the time, but anonymous (and not so anonymous) tipsters are the lifeblood of our industry; at least to us bloggers. Unless you are on the inside track concerning all current and future projects in existence — and really, who can be? — we depend on them for information […]

Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Ah, remember the days running on a plastic pad like a jittery sissy? Those that rocked the NES Power Pad back in the 1980’s should have fond, sweaty memories of looking like an idiot while running in place in their living rooms. Those days are here again, thanks to Namco Bandai.
