[Worth a brief mention, innit? Though we’ve managed to win out twice in a row - the trophies are on my desk right now, he said smugly - I think we may have hit an impasse, up against the likes of Croshaw and Kohler. We’ll see!]
Leading game industry site Gamasutra is pleased to announce […]

Ghostbusters site goes live, Mr. Puft unreachable for comment

A game site going live isn’t normally an incredibly exciting part of a hyped game’s belabored crawl to a release date, that is unless it’s the site for Ghostbusters: The Game, at which point all bets are off and any new media is like perfectly melon-balled spheres of mana from heaven, fed to you by […]

Microsoft has seen sales of the Xbox 360 falling badly over the last few months, with 2008 proving so far to be the year of the PS3, and the Wii of course. So what to do? Why, try and steal your competitor’s market of course.
We’ve already seen the Xbox 360 getting dropped in price, and […]

[This Alistair Wallis-penned interview ran late last week on Gamasutra, and is notable because I think it’s one of the first times someone has followed up with the organization and quizzed them in more details on their skewering of game hardware companies for not being sufficiently ‘green’.]
International activist organization Greenpeace recently released an updated […]

Grand Theft Box Office, Sessler’s take on an old Hollywood’s tale
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
During the course of this week’s episode of Sessler’s Soapbox, the ever suave, yet somewhat neurotic G4 host takes on the controversial subject of release dates for popular games — and their star killing properties. He may be much calmer than usual, but that doesn’t seem to hinder his ability to navigate through the […]

As gamers, we have a sort of reputation for being unhealthy. I’m not saying that all of us slam bottles Mountain Dew and cram a slice of pizza in between rounds, but you know what I’m talking about. There’s gamers out there than can use all the help they can get.
What would it take get […]

It’s always sad to see a developer go. Gamers can forget it sometimes, but ultimately, videogames are a business, just like films and other media. So I’m sad to bring you this news: Sega Racing Studio has officially gone out of business, according to Next Generation. The development house, which was founded in 2005, had […]

An Elebit never forgets: Electric monster zapping sequel on the way
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Elebits (or Eledees as it is pointlessly called in the UK) is a fun little game. It’s neither mindblowing nor especially engaging, but as a quirky and laid back experience, it made for a decent early Wii title. More of that is nothing to complain about, and more of that is on the way.
Konami is […]

Banned in Britain: Kane & Lynch ad joins the ranks of banned game promotion
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
The Advertising Standards Authority has once again reared its ugly head to bar yet another videogame ad campaign. Both Burnout and Stranglehold advertising has previously been suppressed in Britain following complaints from easily offended busybodies, and now it’s the turn of Kane & Lynch to bite the dust.

That’s what the latest rumors are saying in regards to the upcoming film adaptation of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, anyway. Disney has reportedly offered Jake Gyllenhaal the lead role as Prince Dastan himself, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
Although Gyllenhaal may seem like an odd choice, let’s not forget about some of […]
