I've been looking forward to Zak and Wiki: Quest for Barbaro's Treasure ever since it was called Treasure Island Z. I continued to love it through it's questionable name change and now, having played several different builds, I'm still a huge fan. I got a chance to sit down with Zak and Wiki producer Hironobu Takeshita to talk a bit about the quirky puzzle game and why they went with such a ridiculously long name. More »

As pirate mania once-again begins to sweep the nation, the a southwesterly wind brings news from the Burning Sea, where the men are men, the women are as deadly as they are winsome, and a man named Duck Ass can be a captain.

And sadly, Crecente has made it. Yep, gaming's pirate journo is on a list that was compiled by Joystiq's Kyle Orland and includes some of the industries best and brightest scribes—like Gamasutra's Simon Carless, MTV's Steve Totilo, Insert Credit's Brandon Sheffield and Kotaku's former, but now 1Up's Luke Smith. Congrats! More »

Lore Sj berg's gets his grump on in an article about what he does and doesn't want to see in his next-gen games. Rhythm games are right out (wha! Guitar Hero, hello!), but Lore wants way more attention spent on trying to make characters look like something you might talk to instead of fondle in a clothes store when no one is looking. He also wants way more grav guns (something I totally agree with) and more puzzle-adventure games. More »
