I’m not a FPS fan. I used to be, back in my teens when Doom and Quake rocked the roost, but so far as I’m concerned, the FPS genre is stale and stagnant.
However, I do think of the FPS as an important genre for the industry as a whole, so I came to thinking, following […]
Collision Detection, a blog run by a bloke called Clive Thompson has an article on single button gaming, and points to a marvilous little site called Globz Mini Games, which features a set of 13 wickedly addictive games that use a single button. This is the kind of gaming it’s all about. The games involve […]
As the days pass by, the Revolution is getting more and more praise from developers.
4 Colour Rebellion summed up the news from IGN that Hironobu Sakaguchi, creator of the Final Fantasy series loves the controller;
It makes you feel like you’re actually touching the screen. In that sense, you could say that it’s an extension […]
So a few game journalists have seen the DOOM movie and the reactions are hilarious. In short, it turns out Hollywood still can’t make a decent movie out of a game idea.
My favourite comment comes from this 1Up review;
The release of Doom should be considered to be an act of entertainment terrorism towards not only […]
HA!
Quoth Ars Technica;
At this point, the nerds swung into action. Penny Arcade forum members wrote, edited and sent letters and faxes to the Florida Bar Association detailing Thompson’s activities and urging the review of his license to practice law. Jack Thompson has already received a reprimand by the FBA for his antics in 1998, and […]
There’s a few articles I feel I need to comment on regarding the revolution today, but only breifly, since it’s almost bedtime.
Release Date: Firstly, there’s an article over at DS Revolution, stating an official word that Nintendo plan to set the Revolution loose in the 3rd or 4th quarters of 2006. That means I have […]
As noted by 4CR and Infendo, the NES, or Nintendo Entertainment System for the clueless of you out there, has turned 20, at least in the US.
On the 18th of October 1985, when I had been at primary school for just a few months, the grey game oblonge jumped onto the scene, allowing people to […]
If you’ve been reading the news recently, you’ll know all about Jack Thompson’s Modest Videogame Proposal, and it’s aftermath.
In an attempt to chronicle all this man has done and continues to do, I have started forging a page with links to pages regarding his anti-game exploits, his stupid proposals and the reaction of the gaming […]
1Up has a fantastic article on the certainties and opinions surrounding the Nintendo Revolution.
There’s snippets from developers, both positive and negative. Opinion from gamers and a look at the history of motion sensor-based control systems in video games. A thoroughly good read.
Mario Kart DS is shaping up as what I’ve always imagined the perfect MK game to be. Handheld, fast, fun and playable online. Sure there’s other franchises I’ve wanted similar features on, but let’s be honest here, there’s no substituting the wicked fun wrapped in any long MK vs session.
I’ve had my interest peaked even […]
