    Trailers: Warhammer 40k: Space Marine: Combat System

    Okay. I was quite excited when they announced this, but somewhat less so. They have been pretty sparse on information and just show lots of gore and shiny animation (not a good thing). Agree that this looks like Dynasty Warriors. I was hoping the animations would be a bit weightier, the...

    Behold The (Possible) Steampunk Origin of Darth Vader

    As posters above have mentioned, it's prolly the fact that these two concepts drew from the idea of a tribal mask in the first place.

    2,400 Year Old Soup Discovered in China

    Funny how we can extrapolate the eating and cooking habits of a thousands-year old civilisation by the contents of one bowl of soup.

    StarCraft 2 Sets New Mark for Piracy

    Not to mention re-downloads. 2.3 million pirated copies doesn't mean 2.3 million pirates. Many people will torrent it multiple times because their firs try didn't work, etc. A lot like MW2.

    Review: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II

    A little tidbit of Star Wars geekery: Starkiller was originally intended to be Luke's last name in the original movie, but for some reason they changed it Skywalker because it didn't sound as evil, or something.

    Trailers: Diablo 3: Demon Hunter

    I thought this was a very cool character until she started talking in a faux british accent and turned into a red-eyed crossbow-uzi shooting Night Elf. Still, it's good to see that they're trying to mix up the stereotypical archetypes for D3 so it's more of a discovery process when it comes...

    276: Confessions of a GameStop Employee - Part Four

    This. I have worked a lot of retail and honestly, his experiences are not exactly of exceptional calibre. This sort of thing happens at pretty much any and every major chain retailer; when there are franchises or multiple store involved, there are always lots of draconian policies, low wages...

    Donkey Kong World Record Reclaimed by the Nice Guy

    I laughed so hard at this article title.

    Hawking: It's Space Or Bust For Humanity

    Hawking's logic doesn't make a lot of sense; if humanity is always predisposed towards conflict, how would spacefaring change any of that? Everythign would just occur again on a larger scale once the technology to wage war at that distance became feasible.

    Your Worst Archenemy

    "a testament to the excellent design of Magic, and how Wizards is not afraid of innovation" While that is mostly true, the design of Magic has gotten a lot more corporate over the past few years. While the immediate effect is that they have started to cater towards building sets that all...

    Study "Strongly" Links Gaming With Kids' Poor Attention Spans

    Not this bloody study again. These sorts of things pop up all the time, but for some strange reason I keep hearing it from everyone everywhere. I don't know about long-term problems, but I'd personally, because if i spend more than two hours in front of a screen I don't feel like doing...

    Activision: Indie Dev Contest Entrants Can Keep Their IPs

    Hahahahah. Nice try activision, I still know you're a money-grabbing soulless machine. Seriously, this is so left-field for them that it's quite bizzare...

    Is this DS, or DSi only?

    257: How Walt Disney Created Manga

    I dont know about the particulars, but 'manga' and 'anime' as we know it started with series such as Astro Boy and the like, which were *heavily* inspired from Western Animation, which itself was going through a huge slump at the time. In fact, that is why most anime characters have caucasian...
