Category: Column: Jump Button | Leave a Comment
[Jump Button is a new weekly column by Drew Taylor, written specially for GameSetWatch, that focuses on the art and substance of video game culture.]
The email from Holly Owen—Creative Director of cross-platform entertainment company Champagne for the Ladies—pops up on my computer screen, quite unexpectedly.
It’s only been a few seconds since I sent her a […]

NIS America says that the PS2 couldn’t run Disgaea 3
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
When we first showed you screenshots of Disgaea 3, some Destructoid readers attacked them hard enough to rack up the six-digit plus damage numbers the series is known for. While everyone is looking forward to a next-gen Disgaea, some are not pleased with the last-gen graphics shown in these screenshots.
NIS America comes to the game’s […]

Crisis averted: Dead Space will let you pause after all
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
You might recall about a month ago when Nick Chester told us about the possibility of Dead Space completely lacking the ability to pause. Many of you shared your disgust at such a thought, and rightfully so. I mean, someone has to look out for the bladders of gamers everywhere.
Dead Space’s Executive Producer, Glen Schofield, […]

Indie Nation #8/9: Games of the creative process
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
I missed last Friday’s Indie Nation. Apologies. I still wanna do one for this Friday, though, so just consider this a really, really late installment of the series.
This time around, I’m gonna slightly break from the formula: rather than highlighting just one game and why you should play it, I’m going to highlight two and […]

Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
It’s a well-established fact that Sony is huge in Europe, and part of that is due to gestures like this. CVG has just confirmed the European release date for Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. The über-realistic racer will appear on the European PlayStation Store on March 27th, followed the next day by a Blu-ray Disc version.

Army of Two has REGION LOCKED online play? What? WHAT!?
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
I actually cannot believe this, but in one of the most retarded bullshit moves ever pulled, EA has region locked online play with its latest game, Army of Two. What this means is that those who own a PAL copy of the disc cannot actually play the game with those who own the American version.

Move over Pocket Pikachu: Ubisoft’s pedometer revealed
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Do you remember Pocket Pikachu? This was a step tracker disguised as a virtual pet. Your steps and movement would earn you "watts" to feed little Pikachu, and the idea was that you might get your lazy ass off the couch and move around a bit to satiate the little electric rodent. And maybe burn […]

Ugh. Yesterday we took issue with one overpriced gaming fashion accessory, but its high price and ugly looks seem sensible when compared to these horrific GameBoy boots.
The creator of these stupid boots needs to get kicked in the ass by someone wearing them. Preferably the Pikachu pair. Polygamia linked us to these abominations that actually […]
