The Jimquisition: Nobody cares how good you are at games

Seriously, nobody cares how good you are at videogames. You are still an incredible dick no matter what. That’s the basic jist of this week’s episode. Anyway, hope you enjoy it. I had a lot more fun with this episode than my usual ones, so I am assuming that means it turned out alright!

The Videogame Show What I’ve Done: Art Games

Last week I wrote an article called “Indie games don’t have to act like indie games.” To my surprise, the article became quite a source of controversy for something posted on a Sunday afternoon. AlthoughDavid Jaffe liked it, my peers in the gaming press were not so readily pleased. Patrick Klepek from G4 said I shouldn’t expect to ever be taken seriously after a long argument we had on Twitter. G4’s Sterling McGarvey said that he’d take any artsty-fartsy indie game over “creatively bankrupt bullsh*t....

The wait is over: first Bollywood game EVER is coming to PC

I’ve never seen a Bollywood movie. I’m not really a movie person in general, and what little I know about Bollywood movies is that there is a boatload of unnecessary singing and dancing extravaganzas. Not really my cup of tea. However, it’s extremely popular in India, but never before has there been a video game based on any of the movies — until now. The recent filmGahjiniis set to become the first Bollywood movie ever made into a PC game....

This game may or may not be called Project Cube

Project Cube(working title) was another of the Xbox Live Arcade titles announced by Microsoft last night in theirpress conferencein Japan, and if you hit the jump and watch the new trailer for the title, you’ll see that there’s a lot going on. Makes my brain hurt a little bit, actually. All we know about Project Cube so far is that it supports versus and co-op multiplayer modes and can accomodate up to eight....

Today Runic has finally announced the fourth class joining the already established trio of the Engineer, Outlander, and Berserker and the prospects for this one just got that much better.

Trick-or-Treat Adventure Quest: George Lucas is spinning in his CGI grave

The guys behindI-Mockery.comlike Halloween a lot. Actually, theyloveHalloween. Actually, actually, they’ve spent most of the last month hollowing out those vibrating ghosts, copulating with them while whispering swears and endearing petnames that are really just combinations of different breeds of cat and words like c*&t and trollop (which they’ve just informed me I don’t have to censor, unless I’m typing from within the UK). Aside from crude October-centric fetishism though, they’ve also managed to whip upthis game,Trick-or-Treat Adventure Quest....

Udon’s Street Fighter Legends: Chun-Li, now with 100% less penis

Chun-Li is famous for a few reasons, most of which include speculation about her gender: she may or may not be apost-op transsexual; she may or may not have apubic bulge. I know for a fact that she has huge man-hands to match herthunder-thighs. Thankfully, UDON Entertainment’s version of Chun-Li is delightfully unambiguous. If the cover of the newStreet Fighter Legends: Chun-Liis anything to go by, Chun-Li is indeed a lady....

UK politician: Games cause kids to lose their childhood

Former Conservative Party leader and nondescript politician Iain Duncan Smith has spoken out against videogames with one of the more dramatic little bits of scaremongering we’ve seen. As well as mentioning the violence of games likeGrand Theft Auto, the famously boring MP also stated that gaming can cause children to lose their childhoods. “We are driving children to lose their childhood,” states the grey man, “and some video games are incredibly violent, likeGrand Theft Auto....
