Still Not Dead: World of Goo & Dead Space Reviewed
Posted by inpheaux on December 18th, 2008 at 8:30 pmIt's been awhile, but we've got excuses. We're good at excuses.
What are our excuses? Have you SEEN the games that are out right now? Gears of War 2, Fallout 3, Fable 2, Dead Space, Chrono Trigger, Mother 3, Left 4 Dead, Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, Dragon Quest IV. I'm sure I'm missing some. Or lots. [...]

Nintendo announces another “third pillar” – the DSi
Posted by inpheaux on October 2nd, 2008 at 2:14 amLast week the Nikkei wire leaked out a report that Nintendo would be announcing a super-huge refresh to the DS on Thursday. Well, it's Thursday, so get ready to be underwhelmed.

Summer of Live Mini-Review Extravaganza
Posted by Metallian on September 30th, 2008 at 1:46 amHey dudes, I took a small break from my relentless achievement whoring and banged out a few reviews of some choice XBLA releases from August. Actually I wrote them a few weeks ago but then stuff like hurricanes happened, and then we were doin' stuff, and I'm pretty sure i got drunk a couple times, [...]
Mother 3 Fan Translation Almost Seriously Really Close to Being Released (Maybe)
Posted by inpheaux on September 27th, 2008 at 1:14 amAfter two and a half years of waiting, the guys over at the Mother 3 Fan Translation are reporting that all hacking is complete. That means that barring any super-bizarre bugs, the translation patch could be released soon.

The Force Unleashed Demo Hits XBLA, PSN Soon to Follow
Posted by Metallian on August 21st, 2008 at 5:43 pmFulfilling my role as a nocturnal manchild, I lurked on Live marketplace until 0400 ET then downloaded the hell out of The Force Unleashed demo. Here are my completely scientific findings. Basically the thing plays like God of (Star) War(s) and feels completely different than every SW game ever, in that your only goal is [...]

Stuff you don’t care about: August Edition
Posted by inpheaux on August 1st, 2008 at 2:29 amI finally got off my ass and upgraded us to Wordpress 2.6. Go me. It looks and works exactly the same for you, but it's ridiculously different for us.
As soon as the nice people over at Punbb release 1.3 we'll be upgrading to that too . . after I spend a few days bashing my [...]

Posted by inpheaux on July 15th, 2008 at 8:11 pmNintendo's offering was pretty disappointing. Let's get this out of the way:

Platform - Wii
Release - Later this year
Looks and plays like previous installments
Send text messages to friends or the message board with the usual mail system.
Makes use of the new Wii Speak peripheral, which isn't a headset but a room microphone.

E3 2008 – Sony Press Conference
Posted by inpheaux on July 15th, 2008 at 4:29 pmSkipping Nintendo's lackluster conference because I was taking a lovely Automata Theory final exam while it was taking place. So we'll move straight into Sony's.
PS3
Resistance 2 - Sony's big focus this time around. Unfortunately, to me, it just looks like more of the same stuff. It's a shooter. There are aliens. Big aliens. Who cares?
