As the summer now begins to wane, and the creeping fingers of fall grasp the countryside, the release schedule begins to get a little busier. The release of Madden is always the unnoficial start of Videogame Season, and shows like this week’s Tokyo Game Show always produce lots of nice previews and info. Eurogamer’s “Digital [...]
If you are anything like me, you roll into work on Monday morning, maybe do the caffeine thing, see if anything is on fire, and then proceed to distract yourself with web links. I’m from the Internet, and I’m here to help. So I’m going to try and do a recurring Monday morning post with [...]
Ultimate, or so it would seem. I go away for a week to finish my fucking work (which is, thank you for asking, well and truly finished; completed, stabbed, dismembered, liquefied, scattered hither and yon) and jesus you people have made a mess. I thought that Bungie-splitting thing was a bit of an outlier; now [...]
My huge work project is winding down, which is industry-speak for accelerating to ludicrous speed while aflame, so my time’s been tight lately. As you can see from the dearth of posts. This is also blamed on a site re-design I’ve been working to get live. (Got to get off this damn template. It works [...]
Here’s just a whole bunch of stuff that I’m catching up on… Amongst the still-glowing embers of confetti and flaming cat helmets resulting from the Halo 3 launch, a clutch of aftershocks emerges: the game runs at “640p”!

And doesn’t sound like it does much to help out with any players like myself who are not versed in the lore of teh Haloes, story-wise. Other reviews are a strange mixed [...]
This was as close as I got: I know some of you wondered if I came to Toronto just for this thing: I didn’t. But I did walk past it. When I saw that the “event” really was just a huge marketing push by Microsoft and Best Buy, I hesitated. When I saw that the [...]
Halo 3 (Xbox 360) The mother of all (dodgy) game marketing campaigns comes to a head this week with the monstrous, unholy launch of Halo 3. This will obviously give the 360 a huge boost in North America; the game had 1.5+ million pre-orders alone. What else can I say about it? It’s Halo Fucking [...]
Everyone’s favourite British content-rating outfit, the BBFC, has given Mass Effect a “12″ rating. We learn this by way of their sober, considered report entitled “OMG Boobz”: “If playing as a male character the scene can take place between him and a human woman or a humanoid female alien. If playing as a female character [...]
