So, as you may have noticed,Flowerhas come out. If you haven’t been following it, it’s a very simple and relaxing game. Using the Sixaxis and a single button, you control the wind and basically revitalize a dead and dying landscape. While it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, it’s extremely relaxing and an interesting experiment in game design. This week, we’re going to be looking at a variety of reviews and discussions ofFlower....
It seems that you can’t have a major PS3 game these days without it forcing data onto your hard drive like some kind of terrible date rapist. It wouldn’t be so bad if the PS3 wasn’t slow and sluggish about everything it does, but unfortunately it is. Luckily, however, one of the biggest games of the generation is notsobig that it feels the need to clutter your HDD.Final Fantasy XIIIis install-free!...

Grab yourself some sugar tang and get comfortable because this month was jam packed with excitement.

What’s up Dtoiders? Friday Night Fights has been going strong for quiet some time now (tonight marks #24), and I couldn’t be more pleased. You guys are puttinga ton of workinto FNF, as well asTF TuesdaysandWednesday Night Warcawks, and for that, I must thank you. Tonight, we’ll venture back to some of the Xbox 360’s older titles, includingChromehoundsandShadowrun. The PlayStation 3 crowd will be blowing each other to pieces with flak cannons inUnreal Tournament 3, and the PC guys and gals will be causing mayhem inTeam Fortress 2....
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! WHO WOULD BUY IT!? WHAT IDIOT WOULD BUY IT!? HAHA! HAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Asset liquidation group Gerbsman Partners revealed through a liquidation document that Emergent, makers of the engine that powered (and we use that word loosely)Oblivion,Fallout 3andWarhammer Online, sustained operation losses of over $30 million since 2005. Gamebryo is among the assets now being sold, with a closing date of December 10 for bids. Now if you’ll excuse me …...
Admittedly, you’ve probably heard of this week’s forgotten game. It was one of the best (if notthebest) action RPG titles on the PSOne, it’s got a huge following in Japan, and it’s (very, very, very) loosely based on the story of Miyamoto Musashi, the greatest samurai who ever lived. Granted, Miyamoto Musashi never owned two magical swords, fought sentient plantlife, or destroyed a giant, steam-powered robot, but he definitely f*ckingshouldhave. And that’s whereBrave Fencer Musashicomes in....
We have finally made it to the end of the press days of gamescom 2010, and with approximately nine hours of sleep per person over three nights, we ain’t exactly in the best of shape. Today’s wrap up sees me and Dan discussing our all-important “game of the show,” along with the regular — what we did/didn’t like and what we were disappointed by. On top of all this, I give the community a big thank you for all the support you have given us over the last few days....

It looks like Dragon Quest and Kingdom Hearts will both be big focus titles....

The work includes the screenplayOlympiadand a map calledIsland at the Edge of the Living World....
Good Old Games is having an 18-day Summer sale, dubbed the “Summer Hidden Gems” promotion, which starts today and lasts until July 25th. Every day will see a daily deal for one game that will be 60% off. Today,Sanitariumis that game. I wouldn’t call this a hidden gem exactly, as it’s among the most legendary and demented point & click adventures ever made, but I’ll take it! Some of the puzzles can be a bit arcane and all of it will probably last you a while, so for $3....

you’re able to file this one under “F” for “F*cking Laughable.” A Pentagon researcher has presented members of the US Intelligence Committee with hishypothetical scenarioin which terrorists use quasi-popular MMOWorld of Warcraftto plan a terrorist attack. This summary has to be read to be believed: … TwoWorld of Warcraftplayers discuss a raid on the “White Keep” inside the “Stonetalon Mountains.” The major objective is to set off a “Dragon Fire spell” inside, and make off with “110 Gold and 234 Silver” in treasure....
If there’s one thing I’ve always wanted to rectify in general videogames coverage, it’s the constant hetero-centric focus with female body parts. As a firm (and Imeanfirm) believer in balance and fair play, I feel it’s high time we brought out some male specimens for us all to drool over. There he is, get drooling! Koi Hime Musouis a “love adventure” PC game that’sbeing portedover to the PS2 and is apparently set during my favorite period of history, the Three Kingdoms era of ancient China....
