Games enthusiasts and creators (particularly those working on the fringes of the industry) are often portrayed jokingly in other media, such as TV shows. Most recently NBC’s Grimm as did SyFy’s Warehouse 13 did eye rolling episodes of their shows in which video games were the central plot thread. In both cases…

Is the XL worth the added cost?

This is an exciting revelation largely because Akihiko Yoshida is one of my favorite character artists working in any medium today. Of course, it helps that the game is supposed to be pretty good. Jeremy Parish (formerly of the now defunct 1UP) wrote in his piece “A Final Fantasy by Any Other Name Plays Just as Sweet….

Looks like I'll be getting 3DS for xmas this year. No way I'm standing in line for black Friday deals, though. The standard price is now plenty sensible for an xmas gift so I may just go through Amaz... oh... right. :O/

'bout dern time! I losht sheveral teeth waitin for thish thing to finally c'mout! Now we can all play it leagally! Hopefully for a reasonable price.

This one of those moments, in addition to the sniper fight that proceeded it and the swamp-crossing segment from much earlier, that encapsulated the eerie isolation the MGS3 was setting out to saturate players in. It was also the quickest way to get Snake to the top of the mountain. Also, I really dig the James Bond…

A game in which you will compose and conduct a heavy metal opera. It will come with a motion-based conductor’s baton peripheral!

New IP? Yes, please!

Marinko Milosevski is crazy brilliant. Simple and sparse designs are the en vogue trends right now, but this stuff stands head and shoulders above the rest.

Unless I’m mistaken, Catbus tongues don’t produce the dander of a flesh and fur cat tongue. They require maintenance far above that of your average bus or cat (except for maybe the Sphynx breed which needs to be bathed fairly regularly). They also demand copious love and attention as cat buses tend to be needed…

I'll never understand the "Square Tax" on every port of their games they release on iOS.

But many of the questions that Infinite raises don't have a definitive answer—not until/if Ken Levine sets the record straight, anyway.

Anyone want to start a pool to bet how long it’ll take PC modders to hack/create a multiplayer mode?

That is the best version, especially if played on DS XL. :O)

What I’d like to see Ron Gilbert do – Make the adventure game he described in points three to ten, fourteen and seventeen. Then title it “Orangutan Isle” to skirt around the copyright issue. And if Disney’s lawyers descend on him like hawks to chicken coop, he could play the "it's meta-satire" card.

All throughout my play through of Infinite I couldn’t help liken the visual style to that of a Pixar production. Seeing Hummel’s gorgeous illustrations now help reinforce that notion at least in my head; she’s clearly a big Disney nut. However, unlike a Pixar flick a sinister air surrounds the art of Infinite; thanks…

Oh, nostalgia! Sweet, painful nostalgia.

How wasteful! I've a mind to go to the closest Dave and Busters and pump credits into "House of the Dead" as a form of futile protest to compliment Stender's futile bill. But… you know, it's House of the Dead and I don't want to throw away on a mediocre lightgun game. Now, "Typing of the Dead;" let's see that at every…

I must confess, my acquaintance with the gameplay didn't go beyond the couple early trailers released. Which really just gleamed at what the player would be doing (shooting and being eviscerated by morphing alien ships). Learning that it would have been as deep as you mention makes the possibility of a cancellation…

It's difficult to assert a solid qualitative conclusion of the gameplay based on what 2K has shown other than, it's BioShock with black ink aliens that possess humans. Of course, it may not even matter how well "XCOM/The Bureau" played as its entire existence could, as the Giant Bombcast crew jokingly hypothesized,…
