New set of Reviews & Previews posted
Posted by inpheaux on October 1st, 2006 at 7:48 pmWe've been busy around here, honest. Couple new things to discuss.
First: we've done away with our old numerical score system, as discussed on our forums. Numbers just don't convey any information anymore. What review sites are really trying to convey when it comes to scores is if we recommend a game or not, and if [...]
Harmonix to be acquired by MTV for $175 Mil
Posted by inpheaux on September 22nd, 2006 at 11:54 amAccording to the New York Times, MTV is slated to pick up Harmonix immediately for $175 Million in cash. The article says it's more than just a branding thing, citing some crazy stuff about "expanding web channels" and "remixing songs", but really it boils down to branding.
MTV obviously wants some street cred, and having one [...]

In addition to the 11 tracks we knew about already, today we've got #12: Guns 'n Roses - Sweet Child of Mine. Gamespot's got a video of it.

5 New Reviews (Seriously!)
Posted by inpheaux on July 12th, 2006 at 12:45 amYes. We've been sitting on these. Some of them for quite awhile. We're sorry about that, but again would like to blame E3 and Oblivion.
So here's what we've got:
1) Tetris DS - A great game you should already have by now.
2) Metroid Prime Hunters - A somewhat disappointing game you should have already finished and [...]
LucasArts’ Prez: Time is more important than Quality
Posted by inpheaux on June 17th, 2006 at 7:02 amFor anyone who's been attempting to play and enjoy recent games from LucasArts, a formerly epic game developer, this should seem like a no-brainer, but it's nice to see confirmation from up high.
