I tell you, I love living in New York, but sometimes, the government here does things that make me scratch my head and want to scream. Generally, it’s a pretty progressive state — but the reactionaries that serve in the state’s governing bodies, the State Assembly and the State Senate, can infuriate people with their […]

Game Debate to the Death!Best Final Fantasy Movie?
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
In the last debate, I asked everyone to pick the best racing game they’ve ever played, and hundreds of votes were cast all over the spectrum of speed games. As a series, Burnout games in general probably got the most votes overall, but when it came down to which single games received the most praise, […]

Scraps: 6/24/08

So we don’t know who Spencer Pratt or Heidi Montag are, but they claim that they will be launching a Web site that will be "bigger than MySpace, bigger than Facebook." See, we’ve never heard of those Web sites, either. This is all very confusing.
We think someone hacked into our Prodigy account and gave our […]

Gamasutra brings us the following intriguing tidbit from the Paris GDC: EA Sports VP David McCarthy gave a talk regarding efforts to produce more […]

PSP software update v4.01 incoming, totally boring
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Yeah, we know this is an incremental update (.01, baby!), so we shouldn’t expect much from PlayStation Portable software update v4.01. But it goes live in the next few hours, and we figured that we should let you know so you don’t start yelling "OMG! What duz it dooz?"
Prepare yourself for this excitement:

First screens of Majesco’s Major Minor’s Majestic March
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
If the brains behind Major Minor’s Majestic March — designer Masaua Matsuura and New York artist Rodney Alan Greenblat — weren’t the same folks behind the now-classic PlayStation music title PaRappa the Rapper, I’m not sure I’d be writing this.
Visually, we’re in "pre-school" territory here, with the pastels, and marching bears and dogs. Without looking […]

Valuables no longer safe from soccer moms: JoWood bringing Safecracker to Wii
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Well, you’re captain of your neighborhood bowling team, and now your teaching your tennis instructor a thing or two. No one wants to meet you in a dark alley because your boxing chops are second-to-none, and you’re not fat anymore because you’ve been working on your balance. What’s next? Stealing crap.
JoWood and Dreamcatcher have announced […]

If you’re dying for more Weezer songs in Rock Band, then this week should give you the fix you’ve been looking for. This week’s Rock Band DLC brings us three new Weezer songs from their newest CD (do they even make CDs anymore?). While this isn’t something that isn’t going to make me squeal like […]
