Warning: Video Games May Lead to Enlightenment

Monday, September 21st, 2009

Congratulations, Ology nation–you made it through Monday.  You managed to get to class, slog through work, and checked off every tiny square on your To-Do List.  Now’s your chance to fire up your favorite console and enjoy some meaningless fun, right?
Not quite.  You may be getting more than you bargained for–namely, a spiritually significant experience [...]

Sony’s New Advertising Campaign Only Does Everything

Saturday, September 12th, 2009

Video game advertising has always interested me.  Sometimes, a good ad is all it takes to get me out of my gaming comfort zone and looking into a title I would have otherwise ignored.  Such is the story with Kingdom Hearts, for example.  In other circumstances, I’d have easily dismissed it as a kiddie game [...]

Gran Turismo PSP Offers Exclusive Pre-Order Cars

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

Remember the days when everyone scoffed at the idea of Gran Turismo PSP EVER showing up? First footage showed up at E3 in 1992 or something and no one really ever say the progress coming forth, except to hear developers say “it’s coming.” In the meantime, man discovered fire, invented sex, and even [...]

PS3 Proves Good For Something – Boosting EA’s Profits

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

Monday, July 6th, 2009

For PS3 owners, Netflix Watch Instantly continues to be as elusive as the Chupacabra. They’re continually teased by talk of its existence, and rumors of its arrival, but nothing ever comes of it.
Yet again, a survey is making the rounds asking how PS3 owners would feel about Netflix on their consoles. Wait, why [...]

ScrewAttack Counts Down The Top 10 Movie Games

Monday, June 8th, 2009

Given how awful movie tie-in games usually are, I imagine the kiddos at ScrewAttack started putting this list together 23 years ago, and only just now ten games that they’d feel alright about saying “Yes, these are good.”

Games of Yore: Bio F.R.E.A.K.S. (PS2, N64)

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

The Fighting game genre have come a long way since 1976, the release of Sega’s Heavyweight Champ, the first 2-player versus fighting game. From the introduction of special moves via Street Fighter to the all ruthlessness of Mortal Kombat’s finishing moves to VirtuaFighter’s polygonal graphics and 3-D arena, “beat ‘em ups” continue to progress in [...]
