Some of you might remember an FPS Valve announced a while ago called The Crossing. Valve said it mixed single player and multi-player experiences, and while I don’t know how that would work, with Valve behind it, I’m sure it would’ve worked out just fine- would’ve being the operative word there. Today Valve & Arkane [...]

I nearly featured the word “shockingly” in the title of this post. Nearly. Just count yourself lucky that I didn’t. Anyway, watch this video. I’d known about inFamous, the latest from the Sly Cooper team, for a while before watching this, but I wasn’t half as excited for the game back then. What the game [...]

Look, I’ve been reading a heap of articles lately citing both the Eurogamer and GI.biz sit down with Frontier Developments’ founder, David Braben, and I simply couldn’t take it anymore.

Controversy is brewing over poll results featured in a What They Play article featured earlier this month. The poll, published in a story titled “Parent’s More Concerned About Video Games than Alcohol or Pornography” generated significant attention from the video game media as well as mainstream news outlets. Representatives from What They Play told Ripten.com [...]

We all know the story of how many days it took God to make this and that, but what we don’t know is how  long EA kept Big G at bay before the process actually started. Well, the delays attached to Spore are officially a thing of the past, and the product, which at one [...]

EA has announced a partnership with Planetwide Media, allowing Spore content creators to share their creations with friends through the use of Spore E-Cards. The service will be free, however it will require you to register. Once registered, players will be able to log in at MashON.com/SPORE, and bring their “Spore creatures to life”. Card [...]

Spore box art announced … uhhhh what can I say … it’s very colorful, very boxy, and very artsy! Will Wright kicks ass, and I am pretty sure that Spore will too. Spore will will be available on the PC, MAC, and Nintendo DS. Get your hands on a copy of the game September 7th.
