And one of a few other games some very, very clever people have made at Standford University. Ingmar Riedel-Kruse has essentially made a biotic videogame. Instead of designing characters and programing stuff like path-finding algorithms and physics, he’s just made single-celled organisms (paramecium) act as the in-game sprites and characters. The wriggly little buggers float about in fluid-filled container with …
If you’ve played any sort of competitive game online, then you’ve been subject to – or even guilty yourself of – Ragequits. Some people just don’t take well to losing, and will quit a game if they happen to be getting the pointy end of the winner’s stick. I have tons of pent-up vitriol for ragequitting arseholes, but I’ll …
Though I’m a huge fan of, and have spent countless hours playing with my own solid snake, I’ve never really taken to the Metal Gear Solid series. I’ve found them generally absurd, and unnecessarily convoluted. I am, however, a fan of Kojima’s other work – Games like Zone of the Enders, Boktai, Lunar kights and the more recent CastleVania Lords …
Yesterday, Geoff posted a piece on Capcom’s despicable theft of Twisted Pixel’s Xbox Live Arcade game, ‘Splosion Man. In case you weren’t around, the developer and publisher that brought gamers Mega Man has produced a shameless clone of ‘Splosion Man for the iOS called MaXplosion.

I’m going to file this one under the completely ludicrous tag but unfortunately it is going around so we are going to rehash it so that you can answer the nonsense being uttered at the water cooler.

However VGChartz has been crunching some numbers and has come up with a surprising situation, the Xbox 360 is selling far better now than the PS2 was at this point …
Hooray! Dead Space 2 is nearly here. Boo! I still haven’t finished the first one. I’m not sure why really. Perhaps it’s because the game scares the hell out of me, or maybe it’s just another victim of my ever-increasing backlog? Anyway, here’s the latest trailer for Visceral’s sequel to one of the best new IPs to come out of …
We all know the PSP2 is coming. It’s a no-brainer and possibly the worst kept secret ever. Yesterday Gavin posted a piece about Sony’s eventual announcement of the PSP2; according to rumours that announcement will be on 27 January 2011. If this is true, then the announcement will come mere days before Nintendo’s 3DS event in Amsterdam, which is when …
