03.09.10Super Street Fighter IV: Hakan is here…As is typical of the internet, Hakan, the tenth and final (?) character to be added to the cast of Super Street Fighter IV, was debuted a couple days earlier than expected. IGN's Daily Fix posted the debut trailer earlier this evening and all I can say is wow. I don't think that now is the best time to get into what I think about Capcom's design philosophy for this title, but I am interested to see what you folks think. Continue Reading...

03.05.10An appropriately titled article about spoilersThere will not be any spoilers in this post because there is nothing to spoil in a game. Last month, a month that has probably one of the biggest gaming has seen in a long time, the internet was abuzz in discussions filled with spoilers about Mass Effect 2 and Heavy Rain. These games contain as much story as any game possibly could. Yet, the story isn't supposed to be the apex of video game discussion. Any gamer could tell you the story to The Legend of Zelda. It's about an eleven year old boy traveling the world and collecting ...

03.05.10Molly and Cory Double-Team KratosI woke up last Sunday morning feeling very thirsty… So thirsty, in fact, that I felt as though a mere mortal’s drink like water would not satisfy me. No, I required something stronger. Something GODLY. I called up Cory and Josh and soon afterward we were headed to our local 7-Eleven convenience store to obtain what I needed – a Blackberry Lime Kratos Slurpee. Continue Reading...

03.04.10Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Return to the Second DimensionSega recently announced what many gamers have been hoping for years: a return to the 2D roots of the series. After years of failures in the 3D realm, Sega has made the move back to the fast paced 2D side scrollers that put them on the map as a console maker. Before you go getting too excited and all nostalgic, let me remind you that even this switch back to 1991 is going to suck. When is the last time that you dusted off your Genesis or hell even bought one the old titles on the current generation of consoles ...

03.03.10Halo Reach Leaked Multiplayer Footage – Stop Everything and Shit Your Pants!This is seriously amazing. My guess is that when Bungie said something earlier this week that they were going to drop a bomb next week, it was this footage. Fortunately for us, it got leaked and is available for our viewing pleasure. I don't really want to say much about the video because it pretty much stands on its own but I think Bungie is really going to out-do themselves with this game JETPACKS!!!!

03.03.10Was Heavy Rain’s plot stolen from Super Mario Bros?Alright, Im about 6 hours into Heavy Rain. Im loving it, Im hating it... Everything a good entertaining experience should be. However there is a sneaking suspicion that I cant get over that I've done this emotional roller coster before. I wake up early in the morning, hit ^ to get out of bed, I turn around a few times not knowing how to walk properly and then finally get my short dumpy ass to the bathroom. I have some options. so I decided to press >. I turn on the water and wash my hands. Continue Reading...

- Gaming, Porn, & Synergy: Playboy does Bayonetta (poorly)
January 30, 2010 | 12:10 pmJust as American Idol attracts a subset of “singers” who have no business performing in public, Playboy is inundated with audition photos from women who simply shouldn’t be seen in public. Those are the girls Playboy puts in gaming shoots.
But there’s a more important question to be asked. Push yourself past the apparent fact that [...] - Porn & Pong: Mass Effect was a step in the right direction.
October 5, 2009 | 2:32 pmA month ago, when I was at PAX, I picked up a fun little book entitled Porn & Pong: How Grand Theft Auto, Tomb Raider and Other Sexy Games Changed Our Culture By Damon Brown. As the title suggests, it was about how the game industry intertwines with the Larry Flint and Hugh Hefner’s naked [...]
- Batman=DDR: Quick Time Events done Right.
October 2, 2009 | 5:13 pmGameinformer.com went live several days ago, and with it came a feature about tidbits in Rocksteady’s Batman: Arkham Asylum. The short feature talked about some of the smaller details about the game that are largely overlooked; like where the sound effect for the explosive gel came from. Out of all of these, one tidbit caught [...]

- Will Wright says the Wii is a toyIconic game designer Will Wright has described the Wii as more of a toy than a gaming console, and believes the system should be considered as such. Before you get your torches and pitchforks though, bear in mind that he doesn't mean that as a bad thing. "I think the Wii is a very unique platform, and that's kind of its core valu […]
- GDC 10: Why gaming veterans are flocking to social gamingThe names Brenda Brathwaite, Brian Reynolds, Noah Falstein and Steve Meretzky may not be instantly recognizable, but their gamemaking pedigrees are more than enough proof of their service to core gamers. Meretzky created, among other things, the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy computer game alongside Douglas Adams. Brathwaite started her c […]
- GDC 10: Transformers: War for Cybertron meets my eyeWhat if you were to build a full-on third-person shooter from the ground up, with the controls and action that you're used to, and then work the world of Transformers on top of it? That's exactly what they did with Transformers: War for Cybertron. This way, the design focus was on control, and the end result of this is a game with thi […]

Electronic Arts has announced that cynical "me too" fitness game, EA Sports Active 2.0, is coming to multiple platforms, but will skip the Xbox 360 for some reason.

Blaze Union will have players step into the boots of female warrior Garlot, a red-ha […]

- Why did nobody tell me about Flip's Twisted World?Okay, this is a game I have not seen before. It's a game many people have not seen before. This makes no sense whatsoever, as it looks exactly like the kind of game that should be slapping Wii owners in the face and demanding their attention. Flip's Twisted World has an open platforming design and visual style that draws out memo […]
