Buck up, Sony/Free Command & Conquer games

If any of you happens to be a suicide counselor, we need you to go over to Mike's apartment. His PS3 has broken down and he's sequestered himself to his room, playing Shenmue in some kind of self-flaggelating apology to himself. We're pretty Sony-oriented over this way, but we're not ...

December Dickery

What the hell, Sony? Low- to mid-level distributors are currently bitching about an attach rate applied to PS3 systems, with Sony requiring a number of accessories to be purchases per system. Which means that your Christmas PS3s are coming from Target or Gamestop or Wal-Mart with very few variations. Hey kids, ...

Valkyria Chronicles

I don't like strategy games. In a recent post, I stated that I owned Battletech as a youth. Like many people I owned it, but never got around to playing it. Oh yes, I read the entire rulebook, set up a board, even found somebody insane enough to try and ...

Actual news!

We tend to avoid posting news segments here. I'm way too far removed from caring about breaking news (I own a game store and I only heard about the PS3 Slim three days after it released) and Mike is... well. I have no idea. He posted on Kotaku until they ...

I didn’t want to have to do this…

Okay, I'm pissed at Steam. You should be too. Remember when Gabe Newell was promising that this would lower to cost of games to the user? Well, aside from sales, I just see Valve pocketing the difference and ordering a few dozen more turkeys to be delivered to Newell's door. As ...

Somebody seriously wrote this

"With Risen, Piranha Bytes introduces a fresh, new setting. The game’s protagonist is shipwrecked after a storm and finds himself on a mysterious island. An active volcano dominates the scene. Ancient temple ruins have recently risen from the ground, and bizarre creatures infest the island." So it's either Crysis or Serious ...

BLOOD BOWL, A MANLY GAME FOR MEN WHO ARE MANLY, AND MEN

I fell in love with this game in the middle of the tutorial. A little text box instructed me to tell one of my line backers to commit a foul. A right click brought a human player football player to run up to an unconscious rat man and kick him ...
