We know, Japan, we know. Well, our awareness levels didn't stop Capcom from flaunting their stuff for us to see. In another attempt to satisfy their super-fanboys, a super-special, super-limited edition of Resident Evil 5 has just become available for pre-orders. The contents include the game (no, really) as found within some rather sleek packaging, [...]

Black Mesa, during its long years in the making, has become a kind of an urban legend. As the majority sadly, slowly, moved on and away from the once glorious modifications community, this is one project they kept coming back to check up on. Most were awed by the production values, many were desperate about [...]

I don't know about you, but I'd never guess that Zeno Clash, this unique, punk-fantasy first person shooter -- though emphasis is given in melee combat -- is actually powered by Valve Software's Source engine. This game looks unlike anything that's used Source before, in a grand way. I can only hope that the inventive [...]

With companies still caring too much about review scores, and with recent studies showing that advertisements play a far larger role in purchases than any objective scores or grades, the timing was perfect for an example to drive home the “Reviews don’t matter quite as much as people think (most of the time)” debate.

If you're unsure of what new game to buy your special someone this holiday season and don't want to chance picking something he or she may abhor, I'd like to suggest that you skip the game altogether and go for something a little unexpected: game-related art. Whether prints, posters, statues or toys, video games are [...]

With games like Wii Fit doing gangbusters at retail, professional gamers becoming the the face of a brand in mainstream commercial endorsement deals and Playboy models coming out as hardcore gamers, it is safe to say that waning are the days of the pale-skinned, corpulent gamer stereotype. The weakening of any stereotype is great news, [...]

I love untraditional advertising campaigns. Especially ones with the possibility of sending Ireland into a worried state of panic. Not surprisingly, it’s Sony behind my latest fave. Over in Ireland, the company teamed with the free Dublin paper, Metro and Herald AM, to promote Resistance 2. How did they promote it? With four wraparound pages written [...]

Finally, the first Jasper-based Xbox 360s have appeared on the market. The newest model of 360, Jasper is Microsoft’s big try of finally ending the RRoD issue, and quieting all of the Sony fanboys who still won’t let us forget about it. So what makes it different, and why might it work? To put it in [...]
