EA To Help Madden Fans Skip Work

You’ve got to give Electronic Arts credit. They aren’t content with just buying every smaller gaming company on Earth in their bid to control 110% of the game software market share. No, no, no. Figuring that it’s not enough to own the rights to just about all of the most successful sports [...]

Manhunt under fire by cretins

BBC News (god bless ‘em) mentions an incident back in the old country - Rockstar Games is being sued by some parents because some loony tune murdered their son. Why, God, why?

Catwoman: games to movies to games

The inevitable game for the new Catwoman film has been released amid some really quite unsurprisingly negative reviews. Releasing games almost simultaneously with the appropriate film seems to be becoming pretty much an accepted standard these days, presumably to milk every last sweet drop from the teats of the cash cow before they turn black [...]

It’s been a month or so since Spider-Man 2 was released for all three major consoles. The game, as far as superhero games go, was quite enjoyable. It received an above average reception from critics but, ultimately, will not be remembered as anything that changed the gaming world.
The game, in general, was compared [...]
