Videogame “yeller” issued a summons for disorderly conduct

Are you a "yeller?" I sure as hell am. Any unexpected death or loss in any videogame has me yelling at my television and game consoles at the top of my lungs. I’m not Angry German Kid bad, and I realize that none of these objects can hear me, but it makes me feel better. […]

Saw videogame still in the cards, film makers drop details
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Things have been quiet on Brash Entertainment’s front regarding the previously-announced videogame adaptation of the horror film, Saw. Perhaps it’s because they’re actually trying to make a good game instead of selling titles based on brand recognition — Alvin and the Chipmunks and Jumper, anyone?
In an interview with horror Web site Bloody-Disgusting, the film’s […]

Dennis Dyack says there is a ’strong possibility’ for Eternal Darkness 2
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
The thing about horror games is, you can usually classify them into a handful of labels. Survival horror is the most popular and most titles fall under that umbrella, but some have suggested "combat horror" as a branch of the same tree (in which the character you play is not your average helpless citizen). While […]

Yes, scoff the day away, tubby girl. A videogame told you that you’re fat.
After the news got out that Wii Fit told a 10-year-old girl that she was "fat," experts jumped on Nintendo’s back, claiming that these readings could be damaging to children. Nintendo was quick to apologize for their game. A spokesman said:
"Nintendo […]

The Protector: Generic looking and sounding action comes to PC and 360
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
I want to let Gingerbread Studios — a new Polish developer — off the hook for their first project, but I’m finding it a tad bit difficult. The just-announced first/third-person shooter The Protector for the PC and Xbox 360 looks and sounds so painfully generic that it’s impossible to ignore.
The story has something to do […]

Ugly Betty and American Idol winner to shill for new ‘Metallic Rose’ DS
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Simply introducing a new color to the Nintendo DS line-up, Metallic Rose, is not enough for Nintendo. The company has also announced that they’ve hired some celebrities to promote their popular handheld. Because if it’s good enough for Hollywood, it’s good enough for you.
Ugly Betty star America Ferrera and Grammy Award winner Carrie Underwood will […]

April NPD: Mario Kart Wii takes a back seat to GTA IV
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Duh. Going through the releases on April’s NPD data from the "big three," two of them are touting Grand Theft Auto IV sales records, while the other is saying that they sold the most systems. Again.
The software sales numbers are very impressive, especially seeing as how GTA IV was only on the market for a […]

Ah, Shenmue. I’ll never forget firing it up on the Dreamcast and being in a state of semi-shock over the graphics and gameplay, not to mention a sense of delight that I was playing a game set in various parts of Japan and Hong Kong (the Japanophile in me was already beginning to set in.)
Suffice […]
