    Trailers: SSX - Survive It Trailer

    The three gameplay types they are giving titles to are RACE IT, TRICK IT, and SURVIVE IT. (The caps are their idea, not mine.) Yes, you can race, though from what I've seen of it, it doesn't look a whole lot like the racing of previous games. The clearest racing video I've seen involved three...

    LoadingReadyRun: MEN

    Man, Man Cooking would have been a mantastic manddition to this already menpressive manup of shows for men on the MEN menwork for man men. Never have I felt so manly... until that moan during the explosion, that was just unmenpressive. I manderstand, but it really broke my immansion. To...

    Rumor: Bethesda Making Direct Sequel to Oblivion

    I say good news. It would probably take less time to do a direct sequel than it would to create a whole new mythos/geography/etc. Hopefully that spared time and resources will allow them to focus on gameplay and the like. The article suggested they were recording voice clips, let's hope that...

    The Big Picture: Once Upon a Time in The Future

    I don't think it's so much the alcohol talking right there so much as it is the nerd. All the pictures he showed depicting what a future of space travel might lead to were pure nerd-wank. Really? A guy standing next to a hot chick fighting a giant lion thing to the backdrop of some Martian...

    Zero Punctuation: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II

    You are so widely missing the point, you're in another timezone from it. To try to compensate for that, I will now speak slowly. Not. All. Star Wars. Material. Is. Shit. You are justified in being a fan of the original movies, and I hear that a couple of the games are good, too...

    Zero Punctuation: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II

    Those were all just examples. I'm not married and am no longer in school, nor do I dine regularly at McDonalds or drive a car such as I described. You are right, the first three films are good. The problem is that the franchise has rotted, and you can't claim it is a good franchise while...

    Zero Punctuation: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II

    But the alphabet ISN'T full of vowels. If you have to ignore the presence of everything you think is shit in the Star Wars franchise, to pretend it doesn't exist, to DENY its inclusion in the franchise... there's more than one sort of denial is what I'm getting at. Burying things that you...

    Zero Punctuation: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II

    You can't make a statement like "it's still a good franchise" and then ignore a ton of the material that makes up the franchise. That's dangerously close to the definition of denial. Thanks for proving his point.

    Zero Punctuation: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II

    You know what? I used to like Star Wars. I suppose you could call me a reformed fanboy...if there is such a thing. The first three films had the sort of charm that was simple and universally accessible. You can tell that it did because after you think about the first films for a while, you...

    Expert Warns of Possible Catastrophic Effects of California Videogame Law

    Video game restriction, as in the pushing of it into political discussion and policy, is something of a non-issue. It's something EASY for politicians to grab a hold of, focus on, and crusade for. That's to keep them from having to deal with DIFFICULT things like education, immigration...

    Molyneux: I've Never Made a Great Game

    Yes, Peter, we know. Want to know a reason why? Because you let your ego/mouth write checks that your mind (or development team, whatever) can't cash. And once word of mouth gets around that you failed, again, to live up to your assertions, the disappointed masses don't buy your games.

    Daily Drop: Glass Paperweight

    I enjoy you guys over from LLR, but there is such a thing as over saturation. >.> Love that music though.

    Review: Enslaved: Odyssey to the West

    Of all the stories to base a game on, Journey West is far from your worst choice. It's not a story you hear about all that often, and I enjoyed comparing the items (headband, staff, cloud) to things from the book, and I'd like to see if there are any other crossovers. I'm sure there are. A...

    How SW:TOR is a major step BACKWARDS for MMOs

    I personally hope the game doesn't do well, to take everyone down a peg. None shall approach the WOW throne!! I kid. But a thought I just had was about the payment model for this game. Stay with me for a second, I'll get to it. From the news I've heard, it sounds very much like a...
