    Hasbro Steps Up Fight Against Scrabulous

    It's a pretty clear cut case, really. I like playing it, but Scrabulous is a simple rip-off of Scrabble.

    More Penumbra On The Way

    How about a title that's not horribly boring?

    Sam & Max Developer Announces New Episodic Game

    Eh? Would you have asked the old Lucasarts team to tackle Nietzsche once they had practiced with Grim Fandango? Let Telltale do what they do best.

    Charlie Daniels Is Not Happy With Guitar Hero III

    Why must they make these damn videogames interactive?

    Gibson Sues Rock Band

    There is no musical instrument (a stick with buttons and a lever is not a musical instrument), no headmounted display. The Wii version of Rock Band doesn't even have stereo sound ;) Such a bullshit lawsuit.

    U.K. Columnist Says "Xbox is Crack For Kids"

    Crack cocaine is crack cocaine for the brain.

    Poll: Have you ever been in sauna?

    If it makes our sperm better, how come we have such a low birth-rate? :p PurpleRain, it's unlikely you got to try a proper sauna. Even if you did, I expect it takes some getting used to like all the good things in life (except chocolate). p1ne had the right idea. 180F is not overblown at all.

    Poll: Have you ever been in sauna?

    Any weight-loss theory is bullshit. When having a sauna, keep yourself hydrated. Finland almost certainly has the most saunas per capita and we're also the second fattest, right after you guys. There may be some slight health benefits, but the number one reason for having a sauna is that it's...

    Poll: Have you ever been in sauna?

    About once a week for the whole of my life.

    Kane and Lynch sells 1 million copies. Much ado about nothing.

    I didn't enjoy Kane & Lynch in some mindless way like I might Chuch and Larry (probably not though), I enjoyed it because it tries to further the art form and dares to be different. It has more worth, in my opinion, than celebrated titles like Gears of War, even if the gameplay is not quite as...

    Kane and Lynch sells 1 million copies. Much ado about nothing.

    Med-Kits are exactly as plausible as adrenaline: not at all. Have you played the game through? It's not about what you seem to think it's about.

    Kane and Lynch sells 1 million copies. Much ado about nothing.

    Well, you intelligently missed out on the game! Not that I blame you for buying The Orange Box instead, it's a better purchase. I can't understand how the characters not being likeable makes this a bad game. Raskolnikov isn't a likeable character either, but that doesn't make Crime and...

    Kane and Lynch sells 1 million copies. Much ado about nothing.

    Played it, enjoyed it. It's certainly a flawed game, but I think it deserves to sell (though many other titles deserved it more and didn't). The Eurogamer review is excellent and is pretty much how I experienced the game, with the difference that the gameplay is a bit better on the PC version...

    Mad Catz To Produce Rock Band Peripherals

    I'm sure they'll be able to do a better job. After all, they've specialized in controllers.
