Big Borderlands news to break next week.

by Joseph Christ · September 2nd, 2010 · 5 Comments

Following Twitter is an interesting thing.  Especially when you’re doing it to try to glean information from an industry that likes to keep things under wraps.  You are continually teased with luscious laps of tongues and then left to stew in your own confusion for the rest of the day.  You then try to take [...]

New Xbox 360 Controller

So Microsoft is coming out with a new 360 controller…why? The new fantastic features are gray scale buttons and shiny features with a fancy new D-pad.  Apparently people have been complaining about the D-pad. Its new D-pad rotates to have a more pronounced + shape.  Personally I have never had a problem with the D-pad, [...]

New Professor Layton website is…touching.

by Joseph Christ · August 30th, 2010 · 3 Comments

Get it? Because not only is the new trailer touching but that’s also what you do when you play the game. I’m so brilliant sometimes I just need to wank off while staring into my own eyes in mirror and saying my name over and over again through my gritted, angry teeth. A-hem. So anyway. [...]

Fallout: New Vegas achievments released

by Joseph Christ · August 30th, 2010 · 8 Comments

I know that I haven’t been the biggest cheerleader for the new Fallout lately.  After my hands on at E3 I just couldn’t shake the feeling that New Vegas was going to be more of the same.  Something more like a huge expansion pack than anything else.  Today the full achievement list for New Vegas [...]

Acclaim is dead! Long live Acclaim!

by Joseph Christ · August 28th, 2010 · 12 Comments

Acclaim was pronounced dead on Thursday, August 26th 2010. It leaves behind only Playdom and Disney Interactive who have swiftly cannibalized its rotting and dessicated corpse.  Cause of death is listed as piss-poor management, obtuse and damaging marketing, and over-extension. Begun in 1987,  Acclaim is credited with bringing us some of the best known titles [...]

Buffoon Seattle detectives and failed newspaper cite video games in murder case

by Joseph Christ · August 26th, 2010 · 28 Comments

It seems like I’ve been writing about this a lot lately but I just can’t let some good ol’ fashion ignorance go unnoticed.  Failed newspaper, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer which published its last print edition back in March of 2009, has run a story called “Detectives: Murder motive may have been video game fantasy” in which [...]

UK’s Defence Secretary calls for Medal of Honor Ban.

by Joseph Christ · August 22nd, 2010 · 30 Comments

Defense Secretary Liam Fox is either a moron or a subhuman for pandering to the lowest common denominator’s most base emotion. Lets get that clear now.  To make matters even worse, he is probably also either ignorant or outright lying in order to do it.   In case you haven’t been informed, there is currently a [...]

As i’m sure many of you have noticed, a slew of announcements have come pouring out of Gamescom today including the announcements of games like Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, Resistance 3, and Postal 3. However, I consider those to be widely known quantities so it’s no wonder the reveal of the Crysis 2 [...]

Don’t Forget About Enslaved

by Nick Henderson · August 13th, 2010 · 10 Comments

Yesterday was the day that Irrational Games announced their “ambitious” new title: Bioshock Infinite.  Don’t mistake those quotes as a lack of excitment or anything because trust me, the thought of Irrational breathing new life into their original work of art is exciting as hell.  However, yesterday we were treated to another trailer for a [...]

Oh Kojima. How you flatter us with your errant sprinkles of lore. Tease us with slight tickles of news.  Beckon us with…dances of…fanciful…meanderings.  Or something. Never one to be outdone by a little Bioshock Infinite news, Kojima took to his Twitter account to offer a bit of news as well.  And much like the sun [...]
