[Regular GSW column ‘The Game Anthropologist’ is all about gaming communities. Recently, Michael Walbridge interviewed a number of game writers and summarized their thoughts on why so many game writers spend their spare time writing even more on their personal spaces. In the coming weeks, Walbridge will be detailing some of the key points from […]

As I was watching Colette and Dale play Square-Enix’s Infinite Undiscovery on the E3 show floor, I literally backed up and bumped into Chrono Trigger DS. "Oh, look, it’s Chrono Trigger DS!" I exclaimed as I quickly pulled out the stylus from the DS display and began to play. "I’m so excited!"
Unfortunately, it is kind […]

First impressions are very, very important. Case in point: despite my love of Square-Enix games, when I heard about Infinite Undiscovery last September, all I could think was "That is the stupidest f*cking name for an RPG I have ever head in my life." It’s the latter half I can’t handle. Making up a word […]

As we begin to wind down our impressions and brace our livers for the after hours shenanigans to follow we’d like to thank everyone that took a moment out of their busy schedules to shoot the shit with us. Hit the gallery for a handful of familiar faces from both the gaming industry and the […]

Well, E3’s over and done with. I don’t think anyone’s dead, unless Dale has turned into a zombie, and can still blog while decomposing. I’d be a little afraid for anyone who’s staying in the same hotel room as him, or sitting next to him on the plane.
So, let’s take a moment and wrap up […]

Taking a different approach to the voice chat solution for the Wii, Nintendo announced the WiiSpeak peripheral that will ship along with the forthcoming Animal Crossing: City Folk this holiday.
The small microphone that sits on top of the Wii sensor bar will pick up anyone’s voice in the room, relaying the audio through your television’s […]

E3 08: Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers impressions
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
You already knew the concept for Onechanbara was great, but how about the new US name for the Wii title? Bikini Zombie Slayers? Yes!
D3 Publisher led me into a back room of their booth, complete with a beaded door and dimmed lights. They warned me of the "freaky mannequins," but I wasn’t ready. Inside, I […]

E3 08: Booty shaking with Wario Land: Shake It!
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
I’ve always been a big fan of Nintendo’s squat, greedy little anti-Mario, Wario. So when Nintendo asked me what I wanted to get my hands-on first, it didn’t say Animal Crossing: City Folk or the Kid Icarus game I hoped they were hiding. All I really wanted to see what Wario Land: Shake It!.
A classic-style […]

Codemasters gave us a closer look at Damnation, a game that developer Blue Omega claims is taking shooters vertical. It throws some of the conventions of shooters out the window (sometimes literally!) with the freedom of choice. Players can use whatever method they’d like to make it through a level, though they will often find […]
