    E3: Nintendo's New Console Is: The Wii U

    I am intrigued. This thing could cross the line between the Game Boy and the full blown Console. Also an integrated controller camera opens up possiblities for Alternate Reality games. The future will be the ultimate judge of this, but for now all I can say is "Well played Nintendo, well played...

    GameSave Might Just Save Your Life

    They tried a similar idea with making a game focused on Environmental issues: http://www.saveearthgame.org/ The event was poorly organized and I don't know if any games were actually produced for it. I participated in the first half, but didn't want waste my time generating code for people who...

    Extra Punctuation: An Invisible Protagonist

    I am glad I am not the only one who saw the connection between Yahtzee's ideal of how a stealth game should work and the stealth game that Yhatzee made.

    Escape to the Movies: Super Mario Bros. (Rough Cut)

    Well played Movie Bob, well played. You had me until the Michel Bay producer. I don't know if that says more about my gullibility or your trickery.

    Check Out Video of Last Night's Violent Videogames Debate

    I despise the term "Common Sense" it is the adult way of saying "because every body is doing it." People who use it are trying to win an argument without using logic, often because they don't have the logic to win the argument.

    Trailers: Tribes Ascend Announcement

    The first tribes is one of my favorite games. I will probably get this because it has the tribes name on it. I just hope the developers do justice to the license.

    Remember when video game manuals were awesome?

    The manual for "Their Finest Hour: The Battle of Brittan" was about an inch and a half thick and contained the history of the battle including weekly kill tally's as reported to the press by Germany, Great Brittan, and the actual losses. It listed the RAF and Luftwaffe bases, the importance of...

    Things you'd like to see more of in Video Games!

    My name in the credits. I really want to join the industry. Other than that, I would like to see more games designed to accommodate emergent game play. Your path through a game should not be strictly controlled by the creators. Instead the game should set up a series of rules by which the...

    Enter to Win a Digital Copy of Mount & Blade: Warband

    Mount and Blade is a fantastic game. I will not enter because I already have it, but I strongly believe that as many people should have a chance to experience this game as possible.

    285: The Game That Ate the Earth

    Which game developer would you like to work for if given a chance?

    Valve, they have a knack for taking off the wall ideas like Portal and Left 4 Dead and fleshing them out into fully realized games. My crazy game ideas would stand a better chance of becoming a reality there than in any other major studio. Alternatively I wouldn't mind joining a minor studio...

    Why the Movie Is Better than the Game

    Independance Day, the game was pretty good. It was an arcade flight sim that took place in under the alian city destroyer ships. Supposidly you played as some of the unnamed pilots who destroyed the rest of the alian ships while Will Smith was playing space cowboy. The game forced a time limit...
