Can the Japanese game developer now conquer the pockets of those same freshly minted gamers with its latest portable console? More »

Take, for instance, this handy-dandy Vault Dweller's Survival Guide they've been handing out to everyone who stops by. Not only does the 47-page book explain how to adapt to the outside world and warn you about radiation: the silent killer, it also explains "The Unappetizing Truth", aka the reality of cannibalism.

Not sure if he's a non-gamer, as the knowledge is pretty specific. But I agree a lot of these are pretty palpable reasons I get hacked off at my own people. He should have thrown something in about inscrutable Asian MMOs. I get that it's an acquired taste but, really, blowing your own head off to activate your powers? Ummm ... Here's the first 10. The other 15 are on the jump. The comments on Game With a Brain absolutely crucify the guy. I don't know if they get the point of the satire, but they take it way too seriously, and that could be reason No. 26
1. Halo is not a sport. 2. The controllers are indeed too complicated. 3. No, I have no clue what happened in Mega Man 4. 4. I don't need 502 ways to decapitate my opponent. 5. No, I do not need to read a FAQ to find all 502 ways. 6. Zelda games do not need to be hard edged. 7. Resident Evil 2 is not the best in the series. 8. Final Fantasy VII is the best Final Fantasy. 9. I find Wii Sports to be incredibly fun. 10. I own a PSP and have not installed custom firmware.

I got to have the title demoed for me by Proper Games design lead Geoff Gunning, a cheerful Scotsman, and had the mystery cleared up. More »

It's a backstory trailer, which justifies your reasons for hanging out in outer space with a bunch of rejects from the casting call to "The Mist," while dressed like Boba Fett stuffed into a radiator. I mock it because I doubt I'd play this more than 30 minutes without getting up to pace the room. Creepy games make me edgy as hell. More »

If you're not up for reading through the whole thing, and getting some samples of what the play was like and whether I liked it, you can just hit the jump and read the fact sheet for the modes I played through. Think of it as a GTA multiplayer crib sheet. More »

Which one would you pick, were you so inclined? I just can't decide. This little snippet of concept art accompanied an interesting post on the Fable 2 development blog that deals with an internal back-and-forth email about the lack of soap in the office. The reasons for the soap shortage were soon made chillingly clear. More »

It started as a simple idea: You can judge a lot from a person's desk. I bet you could judge just as much from their home entertainment system. So I decided it would be fun to try and track down some pictures from the work desks and home gaming set-ups of the people who work in and cover the video game industry. Simple right? Not so much.

This gem, the first in the Q&A video, asked Gates about the hardware issues that have plagued the Xbox 360, almost since launch. More »

But, with all the back and forth between speculation and PR rumor control, you have to wonder—has the damage already been done? Does the public really believe that MGS4 will forever be PS3 exclusive? Or will a collective inkling of doubt keep those PS3s from flying off shelves when the game hits?
