Tweet Think of electioneering as a real-time strategy game. You make your moves at the same time as your opponent, and in the end whoever has the most points (votes) wins. While politicos may scratch their heads at the pick of relatively inexperienced Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as McCain’s running mate, gamers will know that [...]

Tweet I know that when my 360 hits me it’s only because I provoked it. These stories are getting a bit stale, aren’t they?  Not stale enough, apparently, or maybe it’s just not important for Microsoft to fix their shit.  You see, my latest Xbox 360 is dead.  I purchased a new Arcade version in [...]

Tweet Of all the new fighting games being released this year, SoulCalibur IV represents, like, half of them. Considering it doesn’t have much competition, SoulCalibur really didn’t need to try very hard to pillage the average fighting game fan’s cash.

Tweet A few days ago, a long time friend of mine called to let me know that he had some positive video game related news for me, and I said “ok shoot.” He told me that his brother had gotten his COD4 disk stuck in his recently purchased PS3, and that the system would not [...]
