Eidos just can’t catch a break, man. First they go and make review scandals a yearly event, and now they’ve gone and released Tomb Raider Underworld on the Wii with a major, haha-you-can’t-beat-this-game bug.

Having already reported on PETA's blood-lust parody of Majesco's Cooking Mama and the subsequent response from Majesco, it is with the great hope that the saga has ended that I report to you now that PETA has released a response to Majesco's response to PETA's parody. I know, reading is hard. In a post to the [...]

Well, it's less a response to PETA than it is a brilliantly timed seizure of a marketing opportunity. With PETA's Cooking Mama parody already making the rounds of both video game news and more traditional news sites, Majesco has just released a statement that at once addresses issues of animal cruelty and vegetarianism, and continues [...]

Just in time for Thanksgiving, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has released their own riff on Majesco's Cooking Mama. The game, which this avowed carnivore found to be surprisingly entertaining, guides the player through the cartoonishly gruesome steps necessary to prepare a traditional Thanksgiving turkey, including removing the turkey's feathers and entrails, [...]

Billy Suicide is a flash game with a simple goal: keep Billy from killing himself. Here's a brief summation from the "How to Play" blurb on Newgrounds: Billy is a chronically depressed musician, struggling to get through another day.

I know, I know -- another study linking violent video games to the inevitable downfall of society, and the corruption of the very precious children who are our future? You'd think, after having this argument for over 25 years, that we'd just stop listening to this kind of thing. You'd think it would just wash [...]

As giddy as we are over the news of Jack Thompson's disbarment, we'd be doing the man a grave disservice if we didn't expect him to fight the Florida Supreme Court's decision, tooth and nail. And, while his fate seems to be all but sealed at this point, there is the matter of the "emergency" [...]

And I think to myself... what a wonderful world. Ah, good old reliable Jack Thompson. Even in the face of overwhelming odds, evidence, and circumstance, he never fails to disappoint with his own brand of bizarre logic. If you haven't heard by now, Jack Thompson, Florida lawyer and gaming's favorite villain, has finally been disbarred [...]

I've long maintained that it's vital to protect our children from today's digital devilry, and today I have the indisputable scientific proof of internet polls on my side. Following up on a poll from earlier in the year, What They Play has surveyed some 1,600 concerned citizens, and discovered that unsupervised minors playing Grand Theft [...]

Video games, as we're all keenly aware, are the work of the devil himself. Murder simulators and hypnotic pornographic smut-fests, the lot of them. The filthmongers who produce them are awful men who only seek to profit off of the downfall of society; Lord knows I'm only interested in games because I'm paid for it. [...]
