Europe is a biiig hunk of land, and its gaming numbers count more than they ever have. Sony is probably a little dismayed to learn that the Xbox 360 is outselling the Playstation 3 two-to-one over in the lands of wine and cheese.
(Yeah, every inch of Europe is known for its wine and cheese. Also […]

In the 8 and 16-bit era of video gaming, there was a lot of cloak-and-dagger business going on behind Mario’s big jolly facade and Sonic’s confident smirk.
The game industry remains competitive. It’s not a Church picnic footrace where everyone can be told “Hooray, you’re a winner!” just for participating. Nevertheless, things don’t feel as fierce […]

Nope, no update yesterday. Know why? ’cause it was my BIRFDAY and I was out partying!…okay, lies, I just went out for dinner and didn’t bloody well feel like working. :(
I drank some Bacardi Raspberry Breezers. They were delicious and calorie-laden.
With E3 finished, some of the critical amongst humanity is moaning about how they’re […]

Rocker Spencer Nilsen and Sega of America started something when it was decided that Sonic CD’s Japanese intro music was too weird (what’s wrong with references to leather and lace?). Everyone knows about “Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom” whether or not they’ve played Sonic CD. It was the beginning of mating cotton floss-flavoured music […]

With the gaming world in a lather over the news about Mega Man 9, now’s a good time to look at the game’s predecessor: Mega Man 8.
Released in Amerikay during the winter of 1997, Mega Man 8 was a 2D No-No in Sony of America’s eyes. However, it did manage to make it Stateside without […]

Step one: Stop using the term “gamer chick,” goddammit.
Kombo.com published an obligatory article about successfully picking up girl gamers. Its credibility is blown right off the bat by its preface image: a girl in “Nintendo” knickers.
I’m going to share a secret with you. I’m not a bad-looking person, but I’m not a supermodel. I’ve attracted […]

In a move that’s already transforming fanboys from upstanding citizens to ruffled hens, GameCyte has published Promises, Promises, an article that looks at all the vows Sony has made–and broken–over the Playstation 3. The article covers a lot of ground, and also superimposed the head of SCEA’s Executive Vice President, Jack Tretton, on a […]

You know what sucks? Having to type shit up after being bit on the hand by a dog. That sucks. The wound’s swelled up nicely and thanks to an appropriately-located red mark, it looks like I have a boob growing on the back of my hand.
Maybe it’s Providence that’s led Playstation 3 news to be […]

If you make the journey to Tibet and check the history archives for Video Games and Other Slacker Sports, you’ll notice something most gamers tend to forget: The push for realistic graphics is not a new fad.
When in-game artists were restricted to eight and sixteen bits, their pixel art was often forced to take on […]

The Playstation 3’s SixAxis controller is widely regarded as a rushed failure attempt to cash in on Nintendo’s motion-based Wii remote.
Regardless, motion-based controls are too sweet of plum to back away from. Rumour has it that Sony is trying the motion thing again with a slightly less rushed project that resembles the Wii […]
