[Editor’s note: Yeah, I know “Boom” isn’t in the game…but the song’s music video was one of my favorites from back in the day, so there.]
Today, EA Sports announced the soundtrack to its upcoming stock car racing game, NASCAR 09. Maybe I’m just too much of an old soul when it comes to music, but […]

Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Earlier today, game designer Cliff Bleszinski told MTV Multiplayer that he’s opted to drop his world-renowned nickname, "CliffyB." The reasoning behind this controversial decision? He says it’s "time to grow up a bit."

I know I’m going to catch "get back in the kitchen" comments for this, but I have to admit it - I like cooking. I decided to learn to like it when I realized I was thirty years old and likely to starve to death if I didn’t teach myself. For that reason, Nintendo’s new […]

Killzone 2 delay is nothing to worry about? Crowded market cited by Sony
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
The word "delay" has been a constant companion to the PlayStation 3. To the Sony faithful, it’s more of a continuous thorn in their sides, and is often mentioned alongside phrases that contain strings of painful words such as "tricky to program for," and "development problems."

Penny Arcade promotes their game with flamebait from their biggest critic
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Denis Duckfat hates Penny Arcade … and they’re loving it.
