Are you really such a bad man if you never kill someone you don't like?

“I love to drink, but I also love talking, so I invited [our character designer] to my house one Sunday night to drink, and we just started talking about what kind of style the game might take. We wanted something stylistically in the vein of Animal Crossing, but not with animals… so we decided on [...]

A portion of a C3 review… Not so much a sequel as an upgrade to last year’s effort, PDC 2009 sets out to satisfy fans of the sport, and pulls it off with only a few minor snags. Full review here

The study found that playing virtual sports such as boxing and tennis on the Nintendo Wii burned more than 50 percent energy than playing sedentary computer games such as the Xbox. Professor David Dunstan, head of the physical activity lab at the Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute, said; “Interactive games could be useful [...]

Smelling freshly opened cases I admit it…I’ve done this, and I’ve done it more than once. So what…I like the smell of game cases! Don’t try to pretend that you’ve never done it. I’m normal, I swear! Article here

The physics of fists make this round a whole new game.

A portion of an IndustryGamers interview with Will Wright… IG: Maxis is working on bringing Spore to Wii, but what about the high-end platforms, Xbox 360 and PS3? WW: I know there’s been a lot of talk about it internally, but for us it’s really an opportunity/cost issue. You know, we either do that or we continue [...]

If you’re watching [Mental], you probably caught last night’s episode in which a kid is deprived of videogames, and therefore invents one in his head. But the problem is that the videogame he invents in his head sucks… the kid ends up freaking out, hurting his mother with a knife, and then going catatonic. [...]

The Metroid series has gone through some of the most radical transitions of any video game franchise. Who would have guessed that Samus would go from side-scroller to first-person shooter, and now into the world of pseudo 2d/3d? If anyone can handle it, it’s definitely Samus. With that said, which way do you want [...]

We post Nintendo-related crafts all the time on GoNintendo. It’s simply impossible to keep track of what the Nintendo fan nation is doing!

Ever play Ghostbusters on the NES? Of course you have…but even if you haven’t, you are familiar with the horribly-translated ending screen. While I cannot confirm this tribute in the Wii version, at least we can see it in the 360/PS3 version. Link

You know what I really miss from the days of 8 and 16-bit gaming? Those little idle animations that you used to get when letting your character stand still. Those don’t seem to pop up in games much anymore, which is something I feel games of today could really use. It was [...]

The Game Developers’ Conference is one of my favorite events of the year. Sure, going to E3 allows you a lot more hands-on time with titles, but I do miss the interaction with developers, and getting to hear what’s on their mind. While some of that can be done at E3, GDC is [...]

Oh yes, he’s coming back. We knew it from the first ad, then the teaser site confirmed it. Yet another Tingle adventure that North America won’t get to experience! Link

These studies show the same kind of impact on three different age groups from three very different cultures. In addition, the studies use different analytic approaches—correlational, longitudinal and experimental. The resulting triangulation of evidence provides the strongest possible proof that the findings are both valid and generalizable… [The [...]

“A lot of these games that you think are the perfect game for Wii don’t sell because companies don’t have the money to market them. Whereas Nintendo is spending gazillions of dollars marketing their games. It’s fool’s gold, the Wii. It looks great, but it’s very hard to get money out of it. [...]
