GTA IV: Biggest Entertainment Release Of All Time
Mature Games: Today’s Youth With The Parents Television Council
As it was intended to, a press release from the Parents Television Council grabbed the attention of a few of us in the office, especially those who follow anything to do with games and politics. It’s easy to forget – particularly with the constant barrage of glowing reviews of Grand Theft Auto IV – that a large population of people don’t share our excitement about the title.
Mobile Gaming: Who Plays Mobile Games?
It seems inevitable that video games will infiltrate any platform with the capacity to support them, whether it’s PC, console, portable or mobile – the newest of frontiers digital games are attempting to conquer. There’s also no doubt that technology increases exponentially each year, and with that come new and innovative ways to play games.
Getting Prepped For GTA IV
It’s hard to believe it, but it’s true: After a long wait (and a delay or two), Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto IV is hitting shelves in a week. So what’s a gamer to do with those remaining seven days? Once the game hits, you’re probably not going to want to do anything but play for a while—which is why preparation is key.
Miyamoto Speaks: Wii Fit, Design Challenges And More
When you get an invite to meet with Shigeru Miyamoto, it’s hard to say no. After soaking up a little sun in Central Park for a while, I found myself in a board room face to face with Nintendo’s not-so-secret weapon. The man behind Donkey Kong, Mario, Zelda, Pikman and just about everything else in the big N’s arsenal was giving a special briefing on Wii Fit.
You Asked For It: Your Burnout Paradise Questions Answered
Criterion’s Burnout series has been known over the years for delivering the simple pleasures of video game racing: insane speeds and intense wrecks. However, Burnout Paradise, the latest in the franchise, represents a bold new attempt at open-world racing.
EA Games Spring Break
EA’s taken its share of lumps over the past few years, but it was clear just by looking at what the company had on display that the company is dead serious about exceeding gamer expectations. FULL STORY
Party For The People: Hail To The Chimp Preview
Hail to the Chimp is an equal-opportunity offender, hilariously lampooning television and election coverage as well (and as often) as it does politics. FULL STORY
Pure Updated Impressions
The ATV is a pretty goofy vehicle. It’s not quite a bike and not quite a car. It would seem that somewhere in between, there’s a machine that is fated to huck big tricks off big jumps and Black Rock Studios is there to make it happen. FULL STORY
Another Look At Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures
Norwegian developer/publisher Funcom is getting set to release its second massively multiplayer offering (2001's Anarchy Online was its initial effort), and we took the late beta for a spin to see how it's shaping up. FULL STORY
Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 2 Swings In
We sat down with Sony's latest title, Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 2 on the PSP and played some rounds to see what Sony has been cooking up. FULL STORY
Mario Kart Wii
Not many franchises out there are capable of getting by on the same old schtick. Even fewer maintain their relevance and entertainment value through the years despite never making major changes. FULL STORY
Grand Theft Auto IV
It’s been days since Grand Theft Auto IV’s credits rolled, yet I can’t seem to construct a coherent thought without my mind wandering off into a daydream about the game. FULL STORY
Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword
Of all the things Dragon Sword attempts, the controls are the real triumph. Team Ninja has devised a deceptively elegant solution for fast-paced battles on the DS. FULL STORY
Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds
Before Tiger Woods took the video game golf world by storm with his analog swing, Hot Shots and its three-click meter was the standard for the sport. Until now, the Hot Shots series has been loathe to change its formula. FULL STORY
Rainbow Six Vegas 2
Ubisoft managed not to screw anything up from the amazing original, which pretty much makes this the best tactical shooter out there by default. FULL STORY
