They also note that this is the full-length CD that was also released in Japan, so you’re not getting a dumbed down ‘mini soundtrack’ this time around. The game’s music is composed by Chikayo Fukuda who has worked extensively on the....
Even as a child, Valentine’s Day was something of a disgusting affair for me. I’m sure it had nothing to do at all with being one of the nerdy, socially awkward kids all of the other children secretly harbored jealously of, knowing deep in their hearts that I would be more successful than they could ever dream of being. No, it probably relates to being one of the normal dorks that popular people who engage in the exchange of cards never even gave any thought to....
PC shooter fans have always crowed about how much more precise playing first-person games can be playing with a mouse and keyboard rather than a controller. Point at a dude, click, dude dies. Simple, right? Apparently not so, for many young console bucks raised suckling the twin sticks. That’s where FPS Trainer comes in. It’s a browser-based FPS whose objective is “…for players to rapidly improve their FPS skills based on sound training principles, to become more competitive at any online multiplayer FPS, such as Quake Live, Halo and Call of Duty....
Longtime community member dyslixec, or as he now goes by, WastelandTraveler, has spearheadedthe movement to bring PC gamingback into Friday Night Fights in a huge way. For that, I am eternally grateful. If I have ever come off as insincere because of how hands off I tend to be with the planning of these weekly online get-togethers, I apologize. FNF started off as an idea from the community, and I’ve always wanted to move forward with that same sentiment in mind....

So, E3 has closed its doors for another year, and what a week it was! The most common opinion on the showfloor seems to be that this year’s E3 instilled a lot of enthusiasm in the industry, bringing back the sense of fun and joy that comes from writing about videogames. There was so much great stuff there, and I mirror the sentiments of those who say “E3 made me love writing about videogames all over again....
First of all, this video is a little bit of an experiment, but nonetheless, I hope you enjoy it!Dragon Age IIis one of my most anticipated games. I seriously cannot wait, and from the responses to myinterview, it looks like I am not the only one either. Lead developer Mike Laidlaw provided me with a VIP ticket so that I could finally get hands-on time with the game. I cannot tell you how excited I was when he produced said ticket from his blazer pocket, as I had previously been informed they were out....
A week or two ago, I was driving home from the bank and lamenting the fact that I have no artistic skill beyond my mediocre ability to sculpt with moldy mashed potatoes. “Why!?” I cried, nearly plowing into several pedestrians. “Why can’t my uselessGuitar Heroskills translate to a useful real-world activity that could, quite possibly, win me someladies?” Not a day later, I was introduced toGuitar Rising, which Nick Chester and I got to demo on the show floor at this year’s GDC....
I had the pleasure of visiting thePerpetual Entertainmentoffices yesterday to check out the concept art for upcoming MMOStar Trek Online. While the game itself is still in the early stages of development, I saw hundreds of amazing sketches and paintings that got me panty squirming over the future of this game. It’s been hard for any MMO to capture my attention lately as a lot of them seem to be level grinding disguised in different costumes, butSTOis putting a high level of detail into a a universe that is already much beloved by millions of fans....

Last week, I didn’t know what the letters in N.O.O.S.E. —Grand Theft Auto IV‘s version of S.W.A.T. — stood for. Today I have a better idea. We received a boat load of submissions in our“GTA IV Swag” contest— some funny, some serious, and a few were actually correct. Many of you have “oral” and “sex” on the brain — we’re not sure why. But we were able to confirm with Rockstar that N....

I’m just running out of words for how to explain that a PS3ICO/Shadow of the Colossuscollection is something that gets me really, really excited. The damn thing has been rumored since the PS3 launched so it’s hard to squeeze any more words out. Though I suppose I just used those words to say that … hmmm. Ah, the story. AnICOandShadow of Colossuscollection has been listed atWalmart.comfor $40. Not official confirmation, blah, blah, blah....
