If geeks love it, we’re on it
Xbox Live recently released a ‘do not do’ list for indie developers who would like to include Live avatars in their games. Some might call these restrictions stifling or censoring, but this doesn’t seem to be the case. Live avatars are Xbox IP, and they do not belong to the players or the community. I’m […] Add comment

Coming in three distinct flavors is Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The non-subtitled release is a crossplatform FPS which plays very much like a dark TF2 with robots.

There are some interesting things to be seen in this trailer for the recently announced Metal Gear Solid game due for the PSP in 2010, not least of which is the classic MGS humor.

CrimeCraft is not an MMO. The representatives for this game are calling it a Persistent World Next-gen Shooter (PWNS). Despite having a look and feel akin to Grand Theft Auto, and a name reminiscent of a wildly popular MMORPG, the mechanics of the game can actually be compared more closely to games like Team Fortress […] Add comment
I got to see an early demo of Playlogic’s Fairytale Fights at E3, and what they had to show me so far was impressive.

There is a lot going on at E3, and there is no way anyone could hear about all of it. Between the announcements of a new L4D, three new Mario games, Metroid: Other M, and Final Fantasy XIV, it’s easy to miss the features from the smaller publishers. I made it a point to visit […] Add comment
Later this month, Bethesda will release Point Lookout, a new DLC expansion for Fallout 3.

Fresh out of the Nintendo Press event here at E3, I feel good about the things that Nintendo is working on, but I don’t feel like it’s as new a direction as they seemed to think it was. Their slogan this year is “Everyone’s Game,” which is apt for their new programs. What they want […] Add comment
