It’s been a long time coming, but Sony has finally remedied our concerns with […]

Also in here - a chat with ThatGameCompany’s Jenova Chen, as well as the very odd trailer for the DS version of English Of […]

After a great deal of anticipation and a painfully long wait in the certification line, Ikaruga finally arrived on Xbox Live Arcade last week. Boasting new high-definition graphics, online co-op, and the ability to save and share game session replays, it’s not difficult to understand why so many 360 owners have been eagerly awaiting this […]

I love it when some snotty punk kid gets taken down a peg or two, and the mother of one particular teenager has truly delivered. The boy was expected to perform chores, but he had other ideas. Rather than do something to earn his sordid keep, he decided instead to break the vacuum cleaner so […]

We all know how unbelievably gorgeous Crysis is, but what if the technology used to power the game was applied to something like, I don’t know, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion? Would we be able to handle the pure sexiness of it all?

[The April 2008 issue of Game Developer magazine is now in the hands of our subscribers, so we’ve debuted this release on salary specifics for game creators, as surveyed. Interesting to see this laid out in black and white, I think.]

Easily the biggest game of this week is Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. Who knows whenever the hell the full and final version of the game will ever come out, but this should help the PS3 in the console wars. Too bad the game is priced at $40 for a smaller version of the game. I […]
