..and I haven’t updated.
It’s not that I don’t like video games anymore, or that I don’t have opinions on them, I just think the time has come where I don’t have the dedication or interest to write at length about gaming. There’s already far too many gaming sites out there anyway, so I’m sure your […]

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 […]

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!

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 […]

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 […]

According to Joystiq, there’s a new Tomb Raider on the way, set to debut on the Xbox 360. And to quote Moe Sizlack;

WHAAAA!?

Yes, I understand that back in the dark days of gaming, circa 1997, Lara Croft and her over-sized mammaries were quite the draw card for the majority of gamers (mostly 15-20 year old […]

Not that anyone really wants wildfire, but it’s worth noting that old skool HCG affiliate, The Magicbox (hey Chris!), is reporting that the Nintendo DS was the highest selling game console in Japan for the week of May 16 - 22, 2005. This is no small part due to Nintendogs being the highest selling […]
