Square Enix made waves two years when they announced that the next iteration of the insanely popular Dragon Quest franchise would be coming out exclusively for Nintendo DS.

The SecuROM DRM (Digital Rights Management) of the hotly anticipated Will Wright ‘everything’ game Spore was discussed almost as much as the game itself in the months leading up to release day. Defended by EA as necessary to combat piracy, and placing the burden and annoyance of activation/registration and lots of tech support squarely on […] Add comment
From a small, relatively unknown studio comes a game that, with just few tweaks could be the best open-ended RPG ever. That’s right, I said it. Mount & Blade gets it right, where so many before have failed to deliver. This game is what The Elder Scrolls franchise should have become. Remember Daggerfall? Remember how […] Add comment

Some of these contests and giveaways can be used to get stuff for .. other people.. You know, those “loved ones” you are meant to buy stuff for in the coming weeks. I mean, if you won a $500 gift card, you’d use that to buy presents, right? Right? 😀 Social media dilettante Chris Brogan […] Add comment
I SO called this about six months ago. Ask my kids, they’ll vouch for me! My son was just going through Lego Indiana Jones, and he said, “Dad, what do you think the next Lego game is going to be after Lego Batman?” I knew immediately that it would be Harry Potter. I told him […] Add comment

I know it’s been a long weekend, so this news comes a few days late, but it’s good stuff. An attentive Phoronix reader was recently poking around in the file heirarchy for the new Valve co-op shooter Left 4 Dead, and found some interesting things. With Source engine and Steam support on Linux, that means […] Add comment

Street Fighter is the de facto king of 2D fighting games. There have been many challengers to Street Fighter’s crown in recent years, such as The King of Fighters, Guilty Gear, Arcana Heart and Melty Blood. But the one thing that ties all these games together is the simple fact that they all would not […] Add comment
Ahh, the time-tested classic tale of red vs. blue. Player 1 vs. Player 2. Tank vs. Tank. Some of you may be old enough to remember Combat! – the pack-in that came with the Atari 2600 VCS. Fast forward 30 years or so and let me lead you to a modern version of this fun […] Add comment
NinjaBee has launched A Kingdom for Keflings for the NxE Arcade. I had the pleasure of downloading this game for 800 MS points and then not being able to put the controller down. At first glance I thought, “how could this game possible be any good? Where are the explosions? The guns? The gore? The […] Add comment
Since Icrontic’s Team 93 has started a renewed Folding@Home push, I decided to start up folding on the IcronticHQ Playstation 3 again. Last night after I was done playing a game, I switched over to Folding, and it told me it needed an update. After the 150mb update, I had something new on my PS3: […] Add comment
I think that’s pronounced like it looks – EX-TIV-ULL. Like Festival but for X’s… I dunno. Who comes up with this stuff? From November 28th – 30th, Microsoft wants European Xbox 360 owners to participate in 72 hours of content debauchery. They’re pushing a bunch of exclusive content – most notably the return of Prodigy […] Add comment

Felicia Day always struck me as something of the perfect girlfriend type of girl. She’s cute, funny, talented, smart, a gamer, and if I am reading the cards correctly – soon to be makin’ it rain. Microsoft has picked up an exclusive lock on the long-anticipated second season of the runaway web comedy hit “The […] Add comment
The first person shooter classic “Doom” has been ported to the Flash platform by enterprising Newgrounds.com member “Mike” The performance is slightly slow, the graphics are a bit chunky, and there is no background music, but all in all I’d say this is a pretty impressive feat. Now you can play Doom on any platform […] Add comment
