Einstein knew what was up, being all smart and into physics. He knew that to get the cred, he had to sit in his room for years and come up with the theory of relativity. Thankfully, we can just use his ideas in a video game and not have to sit in a room, shunning the real world in exchange for immersion into a..project..that…Oh no. We are nerds! More »

Remember that beautiful Japanese Final Fantasy XIII bundle, with the white Playstation 3 and pink sprawling artwork on the front? Remember how bad we all wanted it, and how dissapointed we were when Sony hated on us and didn’t make it happen? Well, all that sadness disappeared and was replaced with joy on finding out the 360 was getting its own FFXIII bundle, right here in the states. That is until I saw what we were actually getting with this “bundle.” More »

I know I am a little behind the times, but today marks my first successful completion of the suicide run in Mass Effect 2! Unfortunately, not all of us made it back. Jack, Zaeed, and Thane all kicked the bucket, but their deaths are not in vain. The galaxy is safe and the weirdo reaper thing is destroyed (Terminator much?).

So far we’ve seen timed deterioration of VHS, DVD, MP3s and even paper with evaporating ink. The newest medium to join the group is video game demos.

If you still don’t know what The Secret World is, you better get out from under that rock, and then re-evaluate the space you occupied underneath that rock and make sure you weren’t sitting next to it the entire time.

A closed to the public media and game industry peeps only conference, many of the topics discussed are rooted in the “inside baseball” category of the industry. In other words, the boring nuts and bolts of how the game industry works and where its heading, rather than major flashy press releases and booth babes. But the boring is subjective. If you find panels and 1 year plans interesting, read on! More »
