Miyamoto’s ‘Expect Nothing Special’ Zelda for the Wii
If you’ve been living in doubt, we’ve gottan more evidence of the lack of imagination going on from the powers-that-be over at Nintendo. Shigeru Miyamoto has commented about the next version of The Legend of Zelda that will be coming out on the Wii (announced at E3 2009) in the latest issue of Nintendo Power: […]
We Fucked Up: Gold Farming Still Legal in China
Whoops, it turns out that the new ban has nothing to do with gold farming at all, but effectively bans ‘internet’ money to pay for real life tangible goods. This will most likely include paypal money as well but was mainly incorporated to get rid of the sneaky way people were gambling by using online […]
More DJ Hero Fail
If one of the industry’s most prolific DJs can’t seem to figure out how to play this game…what hope do the rest of us have?
Capcom’s Number Teaser…Yup, Onimusha
As Coonskin said a little while back, this shit is just getting ridiculous. Capcom, you don’t really need to tease us with what games are coming out because you have about 4-5 cash cows that you can always run to when you need a quick cash injection, so I’m not surprised in the slightest that […]
MWN Discusses: Ads on the Xbox 360 Dashboard
This week, the boys here at MWN discuss the problems we see with having all sorts of advertisements on Xbox Live and on the Xbox 360 dashboard. This all comes your way thanks to our greedy corporate overlords at Microsoft. Hit the link to jump in on the discussion already in progress.
Square-Enix Teaser Revealed: Surprise! Another RPG!
Well with the dragons and with the artwork, it was bound to be an RPG, but the best part is this, it’s a new chapter in the Final Fantasy Gaiden series (the last one was Final Fantasy Adventure for the original GameBoy).
Dave Perry’s Been a Busy Man
Ever since his Earthworm Jim days at Shiny, I knew that we were always going to revere the name of Dave Perry. Now that I’ve seen an example of the new fad of ‘cloud computing’ through his Gaikai application that requires NO downloads and NO plug-ins (can’t say the same thing can you On-Live?). I’m […]
Activision’s DJ Hero Will Fail
For one reason alone…it costs $120 dollars here in America and will cost our UK friends £108…that’s the equivalent of $177. Let’s not forget that this price is for a game and controller for ONE-PLAYER. For that price you could… Buy 2 brand new games Pick up a used SNES and a copy of Chrono […]
Morning Cup o’ Metal
Shame on you if you don’t know the entirety of this song by heart and you say that you love metal. Danzig is a midget of epic proportions and has one of the most memorable voices in the metal genre. If you ask me, Glenn is the guy all the young bucks that make gothic […]
Wedbush Morgan, More Like Weedbush
Coonskin hit on this earlier today about the over 100 million used games being bought/sold every year, but the one thing about the Wedbush Morgan report, from which that tidbit of news came from, that had me going and rolling in the aisle was their whole imagined concept for a “Wii HD” that would end […]
WoW to Feature Alignment Switching
The Ghostbusters are right about this one. Allowing people to go from Alliance to Horde and vice versa is just a seriously bad idea. There are just tons of things that won’t transfer over right and let’s face it…Blizzard hasn’t exactly had a great track record this week when it comes to making decisions about […]
All You People Bitching About New IPs, Quit It!
The President of EA Games, Frank Gibeau has stated that we could see as many as nine new IPs released within the next 3 years. That’s 2-3 each year for those of you that are horrible at math. I know that it’s not nearly enough new content to make all of the gamers who have […]
Wild Speculation: id Software Gearing Up for Quake 5
Pete Hines is wasting no time getting the recently sold id Software up to snuff. They’re currently building up a 3rd software development team. Bethesda’s head honcho said in an inverview with TechRadar: “They’d like to start building up a full third team and, as a result of this deal, they’ll be able to do […]
Gears of War: Dead Tree Format
I’m guessing that Cliffy B isn’t satisfied with just killing the Locust anymore, he now wants more and more trees to be chainsawed…only difference is that the trees don’t fight back. What the hell am I talking about? Why, the second Gears of War novel that was made available this week of course! Titled Jacinto’s […]
Goldfarming: B-B-B-B-ANNED IN THE P-R-C!
The Peoples Republic of China has, in its infinite wisdom, banned gold farming. Next thing you know, Mexico or India will join suit then people in all the different MMOs will actually have to you know work at making their in-game monies. While not quite a billion dollar industry, the banning will affect millions of […]
