vi7H-x5Fv98In the words of a horribly deranged scientist abandoned by his personal Frankenstein years before and one day when he suddenly returns as a lean, mean, shinobi machine to break Satan in half with his insane jutsu: “Oh snap! Literally!” Maybe not the same exact feeling, but attendees at the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) 2008 [...]
The sequel to S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, the 2006 RPG shooter developed by GSC Game World, tentatively titled S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky has been delayed for retail. This is supposedly due to a manufacturing error resulting in copies shipping with no CD keys. And we thought that Neverwinter Nights Diamond Edition 64-figure CD key was unfair. [...]
And now for an even bigger douche than John Edward. According to Associated Press, 18-day old Jaden Encinas was left in the care of his mother’s room-mate Rene Edward Barrios when she went out to run some errands. While playing an “unspecified game”, the infant began crying, Barrios paused his game, walked into the boy’s [...]
A lot of people have something against Cliff Bleszinski. Some say that he’s arrogant while others berate his constant harping about the games Epic currently have in development.

A gritty realistic spy simulation? A Team Fortress 2 multi-operative escapade? The answer, oddly enough, is all of the above. The Agency HQ, an independent [...]
If you were one betwixed by the anomaly that was LittleBigPlanet‘s enormously cute music and easy-breezy gameplay, welcome to the club of red-blooded gamers. And if you clutched your head with the sounds of a million gamer hopes crying out at once before being silenced, we all felt your pain, brother. Such Force-altering news came [...]
The wait for Epic’s sequel to its alien-infested, chain-saw revving, blood bath (which, ironically, is the only violent game not to have inspired any real-life murders or shootings) Gears of War is still underway, but at least the wait for goodies upon release will be marginally shorter. In a recent interview with Joystiq, lead designer [...]
Valve has recently announced that with the recent “success” of the Playstation 3, they’re open to re-evaluating their stance on development for the platform (the last Valve PS3 title, a port of The Orange Box, wasn’t handled by the company). To many people following the events of Left 4 Dead, Valve’s upcoming online zombie shooter, [...]
by Ravi Sinha The Games Conference 2008 at Leipzig will be an event to remember… and in true expo disappointment fashion, one to loathe. For every hopeful announcement, there were at least one or two others that went morality hunting.
