It’s bad enough I’m waiting for games still months from release, crossing the days off on my calendar, plucking the pages off my calendar and counting the hairs of assorted cats (okay, so I have issues) in anticipation. With the newfound teaser sites, I’m waiting for the game’s revealing [...]

Media Molecule Celebrates July 4th with ‘Sacktue of Liberty’ Costume

Filed under: Gaming News and Reportage No Responses

Summers, in my opinion, are as celebration-worthy as a two-month long lobotomy (seven months, if you live in New Delhi) but Media Molecule’s happily grooving to the global warming. After releasing the Druid costume for LittleBigPlanet in celebration of the Summer Solstice, what better way to celebrate July 4th than with a Sackboy in lady’s [...]

Call of Duty: World At War #1 Player is Ubisoft’s New Frag Doll

Filed under: Gaming News and Reportage 24 Responses

The Frag Dolls, Ubisoft’s all-girl pro-gamer team, was initially regarded as yet another sex-in-advertising gimmick. That is until they got gals with names like Seppuku and Valkyrie who play a mean round of Soul Calibur and Halo. Their latest roster edition could easily be their most bad-ass (in a cute and totally dateable way) Doll [...]

By Ravi Sinha
An interesting rumour increasingly agitates into a conspiracy. If you checked out the news on Microsoft’s X-Engine, then you’ve doubtless heard about Project Phoenix as well. We’re told (all on good faith, of course) that the X-Engine is a powerful new set of dev tools designed to specifically work for the upcoming Xbox [...]

Sony PR: “Natal Doesn’t Cater to the Hardcore”

Filed under: Gaming News and Reportage 2 Responses

Sony PR Jake Osuwah seems extremely confident in the success of his company’s line. Remember, this is the same guy who claimed Uncharted 2’s multiplayer to be equal to Gears of War 3 (though no gameplay footage has been revealed as of yet). However, it was easy to see through to his intentions (“Uncharted 2 [...]
