In Shadow Complex you play as Jason Flemming, a hapless J. Crew customer who just wants to get laid. Jason takes a girl named Claire, who has the soulless eyes of a billy goat, on a day trip hiking in Washington State. [...]
GAMER is a high-concept action thriller set in a near future when gaming and entertainment have evolved into a terrifying new hybrid. Humans control other humans in mass-scale, multi-player online games: people play people…for keeps. Mind-control technology is widespread, and at the heart of the controversial games is its creator, reclusive billionaire Ken Castle (Michael [...]
I just don’t know about those guys over at Nintendo anymore. I think they’re drunk on cash money. Like Activision, they seem desperate to shovel ever-increasing numbers of silly plastic peripherals at us. As if every game could be Rock Band.
It supports my theory that I’ve long held, which is that the Wii was largely [...]
The biggest “controller” I’ve ever bought:
Some players buy high-end racing wheels. Some buy elaborate mice-and-keyboard combos adorned with lasers and LEDs. I am the kind who buys absurd Rock Band peripherals.
I have had my eye on these for a while now (a year, actually) and last night I stumbled across a desperate retailer who was [...]
Other than disturbing line-dancing. And quincying.

Seems like it would basically disappear in a home theatre rack. Not really a bad thing.
So I [...]
The thing I like about Motorstorm is that it combines two of my great loves in life: machine-based ultraviolence, and snuff films. It really is quite the death-dealing jamboree. Collected below the fold you’ll find a small sample of my favourite end-of-virtual-life moments. It all blends together into a sort of automotive hellscape, a Groundhog [...]
I’ve been an Apple-watcher (and user) for nigh on 16 years now, and one axiom has remained true, throughout all their machinations and reinventions: Apple is pretty bad at games.
First, let us merely mention the Pippin. I’ll let you Wiki that one. Suffice it to say that it is a stunning example of how not [...]
