One of the founders of IGN and long time Nintendo reviewer Matt Casamassina has stated on his blog that, after 13 years of service, he is leaving IGN to join up with Apple as their "Global Editorial Games Manager". If you're as confused by that title as I was, here's a snippet of his description ...
Section 8: PS3 Review
2652 days
I know the term "hardcore" is thrown around a lot in the gaming community, often with negative connotation, but there's really no other way to describe Section 8 other than hardcore. It eats other "hardcore" first person shooters for breakfast. Any seasoned FPS gamer with countless hours of Halo and Modern Warfare play under their belt, ...
Roger Ebert: “Video games can never be art.”
1656 days
The ultimate internet troll? In case you missed it, Roger Ebert proclaimed recently, and not for the first time, that "video games can never be art." Never. Not at any point in the entire course of human history will our favorite interactive medium achieve such a "lofty" status in the eyes of the man who helped ...
Kotaku confirms that Valve loves the PC
1657 days
There is a post up on Kotaku that discusses the new "Mutations" mode in the Left 4 Dead 2 DLC that is due out this Thursday. The new game mode sounds interesting and all, but the last paragraph was what caught my eye: Purchased being a relative term, of course. Xbox 360 players can expect to ...
British Government Right Keen on Game Industry

To any readers interested in the audio bidness, I recommend looking into a subscription to Audio Media. Not only do I recommend this because it's free (it was when I first subscribed, at least), but it provides some good reads on a wide variety of audio topics, including music recording, post production, broadcast and, on ...
Yahoo! points out that online language is offensive
1662 days
Yahoo! Games has an article up today about the offensive language that many online gamers use when shooting one another and generally causing death and destruction. Lest you think that I'm going to tear the article apart, I will say up front that it actually presents opposing viewpoints and gives them proper weight, and seems ...

in General Rant
It's official. Vince Zampella and Jason West, former Activision heads who jumped ship last month (March), have been picked up by EA. They'll be forming a new studio called Respawn Entertainment with Zampella as General Manager. So those are the facts. Now for the opinion. I can't help but think, since Zampella and West left Activision ...
How Modern Warfare 2 fanboys are going to ruin video games
4670 days
Apparently, 2.5 million people purchased that stupid map pack for MW2. That's right, Activision has made over $37 million already for 5 new maps that should probably have been free. At the very least, the two remakes should have been because I'm pretty sure the game engine used in Modern Warfare 2 is only an ...
Justin Bieber instead of Gears of War?
0670 days
Kotaku has an article about the Gears of War developer being bumped from Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and being replaced with Justin Bieber. The article makes it rather clear that it was the decision of the Gears developers to delay their appearance, and not the producers deciding to replace them with Bieber, but I ...
PAX EAST 2010 Graphics Part 2: AMD/ATI
0676 days
So, clearly PAX East was NVIDIA’s big event. But that doesn’t mean that AMD/ATI was just twiddling their thumbs. Yeah, their booth may not have been huge, but they had boxes running Bad Company 2, DiRT, and Hawx in Eyefinity (BC2 and Hawx were over 3 monitors, while DiRT was on 6). All three boxes ...
