It goes without saying this needs a major spoiler alert, which is why I'm sticking the video on the jump. Video of the first 10 minutes of the game turned up this week on the Polish gaming site Polygamia. The dialogue is in English, subtitled in Polish. If you can't wait until Tuesday to get the game (North America) or you don't mind getting a sneak preview, hit play. I haven't watched the whole thing and won't comment on what I've seen, considering how touchy everyone gets about this. In fact, maybe that's why the gang didn't post this, if they saw it. And so here I go walking off a cliff to my own flame-roasted demise ... More »

Maybe not, based on some rumored dialogue that a source passed on. More »

Proving once again that men (or at least men who watch Spike TV) like their violence packaged in spandex pants, Madden NFL '07 has grabbed the award for the "Game with the Most Game" category in the Guy's Choice awards. The show doesn't premiere until the 13th of June, but is this really a spoiler for those who wanted to watch the awards? The only other contender was World of Warcraft (which, don't get me wrong, is a popular game, but most of the award categories were geared towards the FHM genre, so I'm not sure it had a fighting chance). Spike TV probably already had the award engraved and didn't want to bother changing it. But it did get me thinking - what is considered a "manly" game these days? You know, without opening up that whole "boy vs. girls" can of worms. Kim Phu More »
