[We don’t tend to reprint press releases verbatim here at GameSetWatch. But the role of libraries in promoting and legitimizing gaming as a public-funded community activity is _tremendously_ undervalued and it’s awesome to see the ALA supporting it in such a major way.]

Rumortoid: The Force Unleashed now has achievements

Leave a Comment
With all of the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed news and videos hitting the web and TV this week, it is really hard to imagine that even more is available for a game as far off as September. Thanks to a faithful tipster, it seems like Destructoid has even more in the form of Xbox 360 […]

What in the hell is going on. Too many people already stuck on Call of Duty 4, Halo 3, and whatever people with PS3’s play ? Everyone prepping for Grand Theft Auto 4 ? Well I hope you are enjoying your “next gen” games you already […]

On March 25th, 2008, Square-Enix’s Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core and Koei’s Opoona, were released to the retail market, competing for the limited budgets (and attention spans) of the RPG playing population of the United States. It’s a true “David and Goliath” scenario. Where FFVII:CC has the Final Fantasy name, a huge budget, and traditional […]

Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Microsoft is one of those companies that doesn’t seem to be able to find that middle ground that other businesses take for granted. You either love them, or hate them — there is no in between. Lately, it’s been especially hard for the software giant, with negative Xbox 360 news cropping up with increasing frequency.
By now, […]

[Christian Nutt originally conducted this interview for Gamasutra a few days back, and it’s a bit of an odd one - with a member of a band who doesn’t even play games that much. But it’s fascinating in illuminating Electronic Arts’ music-game crossover masterplan with its publishing label Artwerk - and the power of […]

It takes a small army to build a Wii Wheel, just ask Nintendo
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
To some the Wii Wheel is just the latest in a long line of useless videogame peripherals to hit the Wii, but as far as Nintendo is concerned, it’s serious business. So serious, in fact, that the wheel’s lead designer went on record as saying that the $14.99 plastic shell had over 30 prototypes leading up […]

The week in Rock Band DLC: Harmonix Pack brings Harmonix staffers into your home
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
This week’s Rock Band downloadable content selections are both great and a little disappointing all at the same time. Great because they’re all $.99 a track (80 Microsoft points for Xbox 360), and that these are the same tracks that previously only appeared on the February 2008 disc that came with the Official Xbox Magazine.

So, time to produce linkage to some of the best stories posted on our other sites - including Gamasutra and others such as Game Career Guide - that you might have missed this week.
This time, I’m actually taking advantage of the fact that Gamasutra features editor Christian Nutt sends out a little email to […]
