Getting the Valve on your Wii?
Over on CVG, Valve Software’s Doug Lombardi gave a rather interesting interview expressing Valve’s potential interest in breaking out of their FPS mold, and trying something new… on the Wii. Cue that fancy block quote;
“We all play the Wii a lot and we think that the proper way for Valve to approach the Wii [...]
Fear and Loathing in Liberty City
I hate days like this.
Days where one new title on the gaming landscape hits the market, and the world stands still while it attaches itself to you, ramming it’s ovipositor down your throat and laying it’s eggs in your chest. You can fight and struggle all you’d like; but it’s a futile effort.

‘The Soul Still Burns’ on LIVE Arcade

Charlie Daniels upset with portrayal of ‘Devil’
Remember when you first got to the end of Guitar Hero 3, and the finger bleeding madness that followed when you quickly discovered that you were in a battle against ‘Lou’, a thinly veiled gaming persona of Satan complete with the half-naked Solid Gold Satan Dancers? Ah, memories…
Now also take a moment and think [...]
NFS Pro Street gets some Bugatti lovin’
Just think, the next time you’re racing in Need for Speed Pro Street, staring at the various advertisements that EA feels the need to smack you in the face with, you could be burning past them at 250mph in a Bugatti Veyron…and not by using one of the fan-made model packs or taking a hex [...]
Rocky and Bullwinkle pinball - the crowd goes ‘meh’
I knew a Rocky and Bullwinkle table for Pinball FX was coming out, and when I first heard about it, I was frankly kind of curious at their choice of licenses. I mean, you’ve got to assume that the majority of gamers downloading content on Xbox Live aren’t going to give a flying squirrel [...]
