Amnesia, Dead Space, you name it, if it's dark and things jump out of closets at you, it's "scary". Don't let video game developers tell you what's scary. Let science. More »

As a matter of fact I sold it back to the store only a few days after purchasing it. Perhaps I should have given it another chance, but I had already moved on. This new trailer for Condemned 2 however has piqued my interest and looks to be much more up my alley. Hopefully the gameplay will be a bit more interesting than the original. More »

More from the man himself:
I worked on [Indigo Prophecy]and had to cut the sex scenes out of the game for the US...It sucked because I don't believe in that, right. But you've got to do what you've got to do. We're working closely with the ESRB to make sure everything goes through okay but there's stuff we've cut already. There were things we were doing that even I couldn't believe we were going to those places....An example of what we cut would be putting someone's head in a vice. That was too much, you know.
Having not conducted the interview myself, it's difficult to read Hantzopoulos' reaction here. On one hand he's against cutting content, while on the other, he feels that his own game might have gone too far. Is he drinking the Kool-Aid, or just trying to kiss up to the ESRB? Either way, the ESRB has flexed their muscles, and developers are proceeding with caution. More »

First, allow me an angry gibber. This website is so hideously constructed that in Firefox, the google ads overlap the text and the text runs out of the boxes, and having to actually click through the magazine and "pages" just reminds me of the bad old days when I actually had to touch paper. I am tempted to copy the entire article here, because it's good. More »

Bottom line: slick games, but not a lot of substance. His piece does a good job of highlighting what I am convinced will become a real problem with this generation of consoles. You ve got to do more than amp up the graphics and sound to make hardcore, gaming lifers spend the sort of money these things are going to cost. More »
