On my commute home the other day I passed through downtown Albany and found myself behind this vehicle. It’s a blue Dodge with a license plate that reads GRN2RZMO. Pardon the cell phone camera image quality, and check out the overlay for a sense of what it would look like close up. It’s clear that [...]

Blizzard’s own BlizzCast is running on well over a month’s delay, having just released their podcast covering the Diablo III announcement that happened in July. Compare that to this interview with the game’s lead developer, Jay Wilson, over at CrispyGamer by Billy Berghammer.
The great interview covers the loud minority of people who are complaining about [...]

Here we are now, the sixth and final episode of the Legendary Behind the Scenes video from developer Spark and publisher Gamecock. This one covers the music and sound effects in the game. I remember seeing something similar around the time Jurassic Park was made. One of the sound designers on that film spoke of [...]

Namco Bandai offers a new Wii peripheral… oh for crap’s sake

I think we can all agree that there are plenty of accessories available for use with Wii. When the Wii Remote was first shown, we were kind of tipped off that this would happen. The controller was designed to be a simple, dense package with all the key hardware. Games that needed more would plug [...]

I’ve played a lot of video games to completion over the years. I tend to finish these games once and then move on, periodically poking back in for a few minutes here and there. However, there have been a few games I’ve played through, start to finish, more than once. Metroid Prime, for example, I’ve [...]

Our business here is games, and games are really… well, they’re just toys. Wrap some duct tape around your head for a moment, because you’re going to need that reinforcement. Here are some images of games… that are made of toys. If you’re still here, check out the images above and below of Brickshelf’s gallery [...]

I got one of those newish PSP Slim & Lite systems not too long ago and picked up a couple of games to play. I like my PSP, and it feels very open, which has actually been part of what’s made it so difficult for the system to thrive: piracy is easy. But let’s not [...]

Disaster: Day of Crisis is not only not dead, we’re now drowning in it. The game which, at E3, we all thought had been cancelled, now appears to have been released from wherever it was being held. Nintendo released more than 90 combined screenshots and pieces of art for the game, and word has been [...]

With Square-Enix’s aversion to releasing games on Virtual Console, one thing I didn’t really expect was the SNES game Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Even once the game appeared in Europe and Japan, I had some fading amount of skepticism, but surprisingly enough, here it is, folks. Super Mario RPG is now [...]
