You know how I said last week was a bad week? Well, this Monday took the cake for me. While site work went fine, it was the personal life that had an issue. I got a letter from the IRS stating that I never paid my taxes…and I completely freaked out. [...]

This is for those of you that didn’t have 30 seconds to watch yesterday’s commercial. Perhaps you can squeeze in the 15 second version! Direct link here (thanks odnetnin!)

A portion of a GameIndustry interview with Suda51… Q: The Japanese market is more mature, more complete - but in the West it’s still growing up. Do you have a particular age range, or type of gamer, in mind? Suda 51: I was actually here early last year for the promotion of the first No More Heroes, [...]

And with one simple addition, I am suddenly interested in a baseball game that will never come to the states. More here

Have you been wondering where Summon Night X: Tears Crown was? The game was due to hit Japan in February, but that never happened. Usually when a release date passes with nary a word from the publisher, you think the worst. The good news is that the worst no longer exists. Summon Night [...]

505 Games learned of a bug in the first issue of Gardening Mama. One of the mini-games was causing a problem, so the publisher decided to yank the game from store shelves. They have now put out a press release stating that the fixed version of the game will be in-stores come June [...]

A portion of a Eurogamer interview with Telltale’s Dave Grossman… Eurogamer: You mentioned Ron Gilbert there who, along with Tim Schafer, played a key role in the Monkey Island series. What have they had to say about Tales of Monkey Island? Are they helping? Dave Grossman: Ron did. As soon as I was allowed to tell anyone [...]

Nic Watt over at Nnooo was nice enough to send us some brand-new screens for the upcoming DSiWare title, Pop+ Solo. He also added in these important bits of info. - the Starfish is attempting to suck time from you when it attaches itself to the screen - the Shark will hit the screen and create [...]

“It’s depressing to have a label come and tell you that [’Guitar Hero’] is how kids are learning about music and experiencing music. (I don’t try to dictate) which format people should get their music in…if you have to be in a video game to get in front of them, that’s a little sad.” [...]

I thought I knew all about this game, but apparently I wasn’t paying attention closely enough. Cartoon Network is going to be doing an animated series alongside the launch of Marvel Super Hero Squad. The details on which came first are kind of muddled, but either way, I think I’m more excited for [...]

A portion of a GamePlayer review… The truth is we absolutely loved our time with Giana Sisters DS. Sure, it’s simple in the gameplay department, but in this time of HD visuals and next-gen consoles, we should all remember that the simple things are often the best. Giana Sisters DS truly shines, as one of the [...]

XSEED has spilled the beans on a bunch of topics, which you can find bullet points for below. - Little King’s Story is set for July 21st, and North America gets an extra hard difficultly level called ‘Tyrant’ - Rune Factory: Frontier sales were ‘OK’ - XSEED will not be pursuing Kizuna - XSEED is not commenting on the [...]

The shot above is for a college in Japan. The Tokyo Zokei University will be holding an open campus event soon, and they’ve put together a video game-themed promo site to spread interest. No doubt the people that worked on this were just a tad into Earthbound! Check out the site here Link

And boy, do they have a ton of stuff to give out… If you want the details on how to get a piece of this action, check out the official blog post on the deal.> Good luck to all those that enter! Link

Man, that is a scary pair of charts. Looks like from 2000 on, the industry really got heavy into film adaptations. Let’s hope we see a reverse of this trend once we exit this decade. Link

Namco Bandai Graces the masses with new footage of the Tales battle system and more cut-scenes for the Wii.

It’s not really the IGN Wii channel anymore, it’s The IGN ‘The Conduit’ channel. You know what though? As long as all this actually helps the game, I’m all for it. Are you doing your part to spread the word? Link

Sonic turns 18 years old on June 23rd. If you told me back in the Genesis days that Sonic would be on a Nintendo platform in the future, I would have laughed for days. Then, to tell me that he would appear alongside Nintendo characters in a game of their own…I think my [...]

A portion of an IGN UK review… Certainly, Another Code: R isn’t a game for everyone; its sometimes obtuse puzzle design and languid pace will likely prove too much for many to stomach. And yes, it’s wordy too, but that gives the game breathing space to develop a story that’s slight on the surface yet resonates [...]
