I don’t always agree with a lot of what comes out of Nintendo, but today is one of those days where I can safelytell it to preach on. Nintendo of Europe’sLaurent Fischer has said that this “casual gaming” movement ismore of a myththan anything else, and a term he doesn’t approve of. “For me, you are a gamer or non-gamer,” states Fischer.“I think most of you know that you can spend ten or twenty hours on an internet flash game and have not realized....

In a time where there are so many games with utterly realistic high-definition graphics, it’s nice to see the occasional title that brings forth a different kind of style. One such game isNo More Heroes. Not only is it visually appealing, but it also promises to be one of the most violent Wii games … ever! The director ofNo More Heroes, Goichi Suda (aka Suda 51), recently sat downwith IGNand talked about his pride and joy:...

Michael “Toilet Ghost” Pachter has once again brought up the subject ofCall of Dutymultiplayer fees, declaring that the newly announcedProject Beachheadwill “absolutely” charge for online experiences. This man isobsessedwith the concept. “Project Beachhead absolutely is charging for multiplayer,” said the analyst. “I’m certain to my core. “Activision said they are working on ‘value added, premium content that is exclusive. How do you exclude people unless you do it on the basis of whether they pay or not?...

This was my first PAX Prime, but because I’d been to PAX East before, I figured that I knew what to expect. Boy was I wrong. The amount of cosplay at PAX is extraordinary. Though this video is over six minutes long, it doesn’t even come close to representing the vast array of cosplay I saw at the show. I can’t tell you how many times an awesome Jill Valentine, Claire Redfield, low-polygon Cloud Strife, or some other amazing example of cosplay genius would walk by, but because I was too slow or our camera was out of space, I’d have to let them go....

Such classics asBible Adventures,Sunday FundayandSpiritual Warfareareall now available on Wisdom Tree’s website.

I fear one day will come when Podtoid stops becoming about actual gaming news and almost solely becomes a weekly delivery of sex and sports jokes. Then I realize that happened about twenty episodes ago, and I stop worrying. – Be prepared for Robert Patrick’s Double Dragon next week –The Red Staris good – I just realized we legitimately do not mentionHalf-LifeorMetal Gear Solida single time throughout this entire episode...

A modder that goes by the name loveablechevy has been working on a portable NES and Super Nintendo unit for about two years now. It’s basically a RetroDuo handheld, named HandyDuo. This bad boy has a PSOne portable screen and a huge battery, not to mention slots for both game system’s cartridges. As you’ll see in the video demonstration, this thing is a beast with a bit of junk in the trunk, but it works and looks like it works well....

Tomorrow morning, I fly to LA in preparation for America’s largest videogame event, the Electronic Entertainment Expo. This will actually be my very first E3 and I want to verify I do things properly. It’s a nerve-wracking prospect, but with the right preparation and frame of mind, I think I can handle it. To help me, I have written a list of things I need to do at E3 to make sure that my time is spent productively, efficiently and with the best interests of my readers at mind....

Sony Europe has confirmed that it’s suffering some unscheduled downtime on the PlayStation Network, and is currently working with technicians to get it restored. Of course, the memory of the “PSN Hack” is still fresh in people’s minds, so a fair few gamers are getting worried. There’s no evidence that yet supports another PSN tribulation right now, especially as other regions seem to be okay at the moment. I’d keep the fingers off the panic button for the time being, at least until we know more....

This forum thread from our friends at Giant Bomb is freakin’ hilarious(some images NSFW). Its title is “Add an inconspicuous MS Paint c*ck to a well loved Genesis cover,” and I love forum user BiffMcBlumpkin for making it. It’s exactly as it sounds: Take a Sega Genesis game cover and add some junk, via MS Paint, to a character on the cover. No one escapes. It starts withPhantasy Star IV(an easy one), and continues withShinobi, Taz Mania,and even the belovedStreets of Rage 2....
