[As you may have noticed, GameSetWatch daily posting has settled happily into ‘one original GSW story, one notable Gamasutra story you might have missed, one link compilation. I like this, and I will beat you up if you do not. This newly filed Gamasutra story - from Christian Nutt - is notable because, blimey, […]

I have two people to thank today.
First up, community member Haxan for writing a community blog about — and thereby introducing me to — a fan made remake of the underrated Metroid II: Return of Samus for the original Game Boy (seen in the video above). I never knew it existed and now I do.
Secondly, […]

Game Debate to the Death! Best and Worst Halo: Combat Evolved multiplayer level?
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Last week’s Counter-Strike map debate was one of the few times I’ve ever seen readers so split on a topic. Not just one or two, but nearly every map voted for received as many negative votes as it did positive votes. It just goes to show how many different gamer preferences there are out there, and that […]

I know I can’t be the only person who has fallen prey to Call of Duty 4. Sometimes though, when you look past the huge amount of overhypeness (is that a word?!) that Halo 3 received, you still can find a solid shooter with a ton of still exclusive features, as well as […]

For some reason, Wardrox thinks this is going to work, but as my producer, he’s the guy we should … sadly … be trusting. Tomorrow’s Podcast will be all about the positive aspects of being a European gamer. If you didn’t read our report of the utter failure that was the last UK gaming event, […]

The Behemoth’s devblog is aiming to update weekly with the freshest Castle Crashers news and build up even more hype for this anticipated title — hey, […]

Super R-Type is a lot more difficult than I remember it. You get all the way to the end of the level, you die, and it starts you back at the beginning. While writing the song, I had Jonathan Coulton’s Portal song stuck in my head. Not that my song even remotely stands up to […]

The 360, Wii, and PS3 versions of NCAA Football 09 will each have their own covers, while the PS2 and PSP versions will feature the same athlete.

Sega’s Viking: Battle for Asgard looks manly and violent as hell
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Sometimes I’m a simple man, and these new screenshots for Sega’s Viking: Battle for Asgard certainly speak to my baser instincts. In one screen there’s a giant troll, all battle scarred and dripping with blood. In another screen the game’s protagonist Skarin decapitates an enemy, and another shows him tearing through a torso, exposing what […]
