According to PlayStation’s press release:
Sony Computer Entertainment America president and CEO Kaz Hirai will be on hand […]

The lovely Jenn - WoW addict extraordinaire - sent me a link yesterday (I swear no one wanted me to be productive) to Pure Pwnage’s sixth episode: “WoW is a Feeling.” At its core, “WoW is a feeling” is a music video about love, life, and the human condition. A deep, philosophical journey […]

They predict a 30% increase in the number of hardware units sold between 2006 and 2011, including a massive 45% increase in mobile gaming […]

Sometimes when the big boys play, things can get a little rough, trapping comsumers and smaller ventures in the crossfire. Two game industry veterans, Greg Costikyan and Johnny Wilson, have had enough. They’re tired of only mega-hit spinoffs and licensed titles nabbing all of the limited shelf space at vendors, and want […]

It is evident that no one wants me to actually get to my French homework tonight. Matt was kind enough to point me in the direction of P.A.N.I.C.S. (People Acting Normal in Crazy Ass Situations) Episode 1, a spoof of F.E.A.R. by those crazy guys from roosterteeth.com. It’s the funniest thing I’ve seen in a […]

Clave over at altgame.net started a rather vast collection of screenshots entitled “This Gaming Life,” which features his own unique take on the frozen action, through the insertion of witty thought bubbles. I’ve now killed a very large chunk of my evening going through four of the nine (!) pages of captures and more often […]

Jessica Alba isn’t the only one getting into the video game-making biz. Rapper 50 Cent (pronounced “fiddy cent” for those not down with the lingo), is releasing a video game entitled “50 Cent: Bulletproof”, which is due out just in time for the holiday season.

I’m kind of…erm…embarrassed about this one, but I’m quite excited about a new game that’s due out in November. So, it’s…uh…kind of like The Sims, but with celebrities and glitz and cinema.
The Movies, which took top slot for Best Simulation from “IGN’s Best of E3 2005″ awards, that allows you to play the […]

I could have posted this yesterday, but I figured I’d let the initial burst of irritation pass in the hopes of tapping into some more neutral, or positive feedback on the end of the countdown over at the Origen XBox 360 page. Alas, none was really to be found.
The months of waiting, with every […]

It’s always nice to read about the developers I like doing nice things in the world. Case in point, BioWare Corp., which has developed such popular games as the Baldur’s Gate series and Neverwinter Nights, hosted the first annual “Miracle Builders Breakfast” to raise funds for the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation. The foundation raises […]
