Xbox 360 mag article reprints: My snarky games industry column
Nov 06
EAxploitation. A piece on whether EA deserves the tidal waves of hatorade they get from fanboys.
Dec 06
You can't spell 'analyst' without 'anal. It's about analysts talking out of their arseholes.

Games that make you cry, AKA making games can make you cry. How making games can potentially deflate you to the point of tears.

The Oprah Effect. I really don't like her despite having never met her. I'm a judgmental prick and happy with it. In this piece, I try to figure out what kind of game she'd like. This is before the world knew of Wii Fit I think. She'd probably dig that. Also, here is the original, ruder, snarkier, funnier un-edited version of this piece. They really edited the hell out of it.

Not Very Super-heroes. A rant about shitty superhero movies and the disappearance of testosterone action flicks. Rambo 4 really made me happy when it eventually came out.
I'll put more up later in the week

Andy Robinson from CVG contacted Konami and got told "Konami has no plans to bring Metal Gear Solid 4 to the Xbox 360 at this time,". Read into that how you like.
A PUBLIC SERVICE ANOUNCMENT; DO NOT SEE XMEN 3 [SPOILERS WITHIN]
In this pile of links, we have:
Street Fighter Alpha Collection will feature a 'Hyper' mode which works just like Super Street Fighter Hyper Fighting or whatever it's called. The one where you can pick various versions of characters against other versions. It also contains the 'ISMS' from Marvel Super Heroes, SF3, SF2 and Darkstalkers, among many more awesome features.
Fuck it. Might as well put it up for free download now that I've got far more advanced shit coming soon...
Thanks to the magic of friends with connections, we got snuck into a lovely presentation of Assassin's Creed on Next Gen consoles (currently being pimped as PS3 exclusive - timed or otherwise).
Last night at the Sony party, I bumped into Yuji Naka and had a conversation with him. It went like this:
How Warhawk played and what it was like being bored to death for half an hour while being shown Gran Turismo: embarrassment edition.
If you find immaturity disgusting, go away.
This is easily the DUMBEST NAME EVER. It's spelt Wii and pronounced 'Wee'. As in piss. How lame.
Zelda on DS, Sega Megadrive/Genesis and PC Engine classics downloadable on Revolution's Virtual Console. What more do you need? Zelda video link inside!
Including a teaser of The Getaway on PS3, Ratchett and Clank on PS3 and some less than stellar 'real' versions of the bullshit trailers they showed off last year at E3. As negative as that lead in is, the online stuff was VERY interesting, as was the cross-company asset sharing. That's IF they pull it off.
Spies within the special FX industry send forth details of the villains we WILL be seeing in Spiderman 3. If you don't want the film ruined for you, DO NOT read this.
