Why the hell are we talking about BioShock 3, when BioShock 2 hasn’t even been released yet? Why are people worried that the third installment may or may not be in Rapture when we haven’t even had the chance to revisit the place a second time? Christ. Also, seeing that multiplayer BioShock 2 won’t impede on the single-player [...]
I won a free code for Zombie Wranglers on XBLA. Nice.
The Star Wars universe isn’t not gay. Hell no. We can talk about the gays here. Not just the straights.

For the record: People attempting to sneer at 2K’s decision to have us play as a Big Daddy in BioShock 2 by stipulating that the mute character will keep us from developing an emotional connection with the game are grasping at straws. Jack, the main character in the original BioShock, was a mute. So is [...]
Big Sister, splicers, Ignite plasmid, and a big nasty drill are all featured in this gameplay footage of BioShock 2.
Finally, someone at Capcom explains why the game known as “Biohazard” in Japan was distributed everywhere else in the English-speaking world as “Resident Evil.”
“As an example, I pointed out that a crappy DOS-based game had just come out in the US called ‘Biohazard’ (not to mention the New York hardcore band of the same name) [...]
Konami’s newly-announced game, Six Days In Fallujah, is already stirring the pot. And with reason. Why? Too soon; that’s why. And I’m not just saying this because it’s a video game. I’m raising this point because I fear it won’t be properly dealt with.
Let’s argue that video games are taking baby steps to become a [...]
Yeah, the rumour is pretty strong that the Resident Evil 5 versus-mode DLC isn’t really DLC. Turns out what you end up paying for is a patch to unlock the versus mode which is already on the shipped RE5 disc. Confirmed: I’m not buying it.
Trailer to Funcom’s The Secret World is out. This could be the game which finally melts my frosty attitude towards MMOs. The concept really sounds cool. It’s on my watch list.
Putting out “roommate wanted” ads can attract all sorts of people. This guy wants to make sure his apartment stays zombie-free. Gives a whole new meaning to “no smokers”, doesn’t it?
There have been rumours for a long, long time that Interplay would be releasing a Fallout MMO, codenamed Project V13. Looks like it’s actually going to happen. Despite selling the property to Bethesda, Interplay is acting as the licensee for the development of the game, in collusion with MMO vets Masthead Studios. Fine by me, as long [...]
I downloaded The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai last night on Xbox Live Arcade. It’s freakishly addictive and truly hardcore. It’s the real deal: frantic 2-D button mashing hack ‘em up platformer madness. It has the same pick up and play fun that, say, Castle Crashers did, yet provides an extra little gameplay jolt for the discriminating [...]
Valve’s apparently mentioned that they still haven’t given up on the Xbox 360 update for Team Fortress 2; seems like all the new content they developed for the PC version would be put the game over the 360’s memory limit. Which is fine, which is fine, good to know we can still look forward to [...]
I hadn’t realised that Québec’s Office de la langue française-sponsored law on prohibiting the sale of video games that don’t include a French version went into effect a couple of days ago.
It’s the kind of decision which the organisation pulls from time to time which comes across a little on the fascist side, but it’s no [...]
It’s done: Eidos is going to become part of Square Enix. We can finally begin dreaming of that Lara Croft vs. Cloud Strife faceoff that nobody really dreams about because I just made that up.
Bethesda returned the Fallout 3 DLC The Pitt to the XBL Marketplace today. It’s supposed to be clean and bug free. Let’s wait a couple of hours to see what happens. (Via Joystiq)
A study shows that in-game video advertising is more effective than TV advertising. *sigh* While most gamers don’t have a problem with the concept, I do. Ad-free environments, free from peddling and consumerism are hard to come by. We are bombarded with them on television, in magazines, in newspapers, on the web, on roadsides, in festivals, and [...]
Lots of people complaining about glitches and freezes in Fallout 3’s new The Pitt DLC. Guess I’ll wait for a patch before getting it, which will allow me to download the Pearl Jam DLC for Rock Band 2, guilt-free.
Bitchin’: Pearl Jam’s Ten is finally being released as DLC for Rock Band 2 next week. Tuesday on the 360. Can’t wait to try out the vocal track on “Oceans.”
