Dennis Speaks: EA, Valve, Origin, BF3 and You [Audio]

In case you didn’t hear EA is stepping into the Digital Distribution World, and WPR’s self-proclaimed industry analyst is talking about it.  

Viz Media iPad App – Review

I’ve read manga for what seems like 20 years now. I’ve read it in both English and Japanese and for some reason, I’ve enjoyed reading manga much more than reading comic books here in America. This may be because I’m a stark raving mad weeaboo when it comes to Japanese culture, but for me it’s a bit more than that.  

Canadian Quintet Boats Sign to Kill Rock Stars Label

Kill Rock Stars, the independent label that brought the world to notice such bands as Bikini Kill, Sleater-Kinney, and The Decemberists, has announced that they have taken the Winnipeg-native indie-pop band Boats under their wing. The first release under the label will be a digitally distributed version of their sophomore album, Cannonballs, Cannonballs, a musical voyage through a strange nonsensical land full of fake... 

Nintendo, I don’t recognize you anymore…

First off, I’ve been hearing reports of the newest firmware you’re pumping out to battle the haxors of the world has caused people who were unmodified to have bricked Wiis, from which you’ll not claim any responsibility and will actually charge people to get fixed? Now I’m hearing that if you buy stuff for your DSi and want to migrate it to a newer DSi (for whatever reason), you can’t…you’re... 

‘Family Games’ on Steam

C’mon Valve, really? Is there really a need to further segment the gaming community who loves your service? I guess so. As it stands right now there are currently 120 games listed under the new Family Games category on Steam. From what I saw, many of the games were…how can I put it…more girly than the traditional faire. For example, Samatha Swift, Nancy Drew, Super Granny, and Cakemania are at the... 

Sony Shuns Full Game Downloads

Microsoft is surprisingly active in their stance on becoming the first console to offer current generation game digital distribution. Sony, however picked this time to let the world know that they no longer want to play the ‘catch up to MS’ game. I can understand the reasons to not feel the desire to offer digital distribution for ‘some’ of the PS3 library (I’m looking at you MGS4). Who... 

Sony & The PSP Go, “We Meant To Do That!”

Mimicking Pee Wee Herman’s classic line, Naoya Matsui (head of product planning for Sony) claims that they were planning on having a non-UMD PSP come out BEFORE they even released the first PSP…the only thing holding them back was the lack of a decent digital distribution market. In an interview with GameBusiness.jp he states: “We’d planned to release a PSP model without a UMD drive since the very beginning,... 

Monkey Island for Xbox 360? Quick! Don’t Tell Ryan

Much to the chagrin of our PC/PS3 loving editor Ryan Wilson, it looks like the newest addition to the Monkey Island franchise might just make an appearance in the Xbox Live Marketplace. According to Dave Grossman (the man who makes these decisions at Telltale Games), omission does not exactly mean that they won’t do it…he stated in an interview: “Normally what we do is PC and one of the other platforms,...
