Shedload of new Bayonetta information for your eyes
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | 
Leave a Comment
Even though one writes about videogames seven days a week, some hot looking titles will invariably still slip past my gorgeous eyes unnoticed. One such game to barely register on my radar has been Bayonetta, which is ridiculous, as these types of senseless action games are right up my alley.
Luckily, a blogger on Gametrailers has […]

Funcom employee fired for cybersex with player in Age of Conan
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
It seems that somebody has been sticking their sword into the wrong dungeon. The story goes that an Age of Conan player summoned a GM and convinced them to engage in a little "role-playing". The GM then took the player to a more secluded portion of the game world and (after a bit of hemming […]

GameSetLinks: Buzzwords And Protests
Category: | Leave a Comment
Aha, weekend means new GameSetLinks, starting out with the tail end of a PlayStation Network interview on CrispyGamer which really does - through no fault of the interviewer’s - degenerate into a bit of a crazed jargonfest.
Also wandering around in here - some odd updates from Signature Devices, Space Invaders memorabilia, the anti-Ubisoft war […]

Mushroom Kingdom Fusion features Quickman Sonic and multiple other mega mash-ups
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Mushroom Kingdom Fusion is a project that my alter-ego Tron Knotts was lucky enough to get involved with some months ago, with his creation of the Spartan Mario power-up. Since that time, the project has grown to become a simply enormous fan-game, bigger than many full priced retail titles. It includes Mega Man based power-ups […]

If you happen to have a NES, rotary tool, and screwdriver sitting around your house, Instructables has just the creation just you. I’m proud to introduce the insanely cool NES lunchbox. This concoction of videogame fandom and reverence is sure to freak out any co-workers or classmates that may not understand what being a true […]

Alone in the Dark PS3 will be improved: Turd polishing machine found at Atari
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
We at Destructoid did not like Alone in the Dark. In fact, our review of it was quite harsh (although to its credit, it was no Eternity’s Child). If you were holding out for the PlayStation 3 version, however, don’t kill yourself just yet — Atari has promised that Alone in the Dark for the […]

Like, oh my God, games journalists should totally grow up
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
You know what annoys me? How games journalists these days never take anything seriously. Games are serious, and if we want them to be taken seriously, we have to be serious about games, serious about gaming and serious about taking games and gaming seriously. I’m serious about this.
I’ve had enough. As a games journalist — […]

Category: Column: Homer In Silicon | Leave a Comment
[’Homer in Silicon’ is a biweekly GameSetWatch column by Emily Short. It looks at storytelling and narrative in games of all flavors, including the casual, indie, and obscurely hobbyist. This article looks at the problem of separating player and protagonist goals.]
Last year I participated in a panel on tragedy in interactive storytelling. One of the […]

The fear mongering has now reached Spain, where cab drivers are calling for a ban of the game, along with any other title that displays excessive violence or […]
