1Up's former editor Patrick Klepek is now MTV's current...Patrick Klepek. But joining Stephen Totilo to hold down the fort will be no easy task. Seriously, have you ever seen that movie The Devil Wears Prada? Imagine Totilo as Meryl Streep. We're not sure how N'Gai fits in the picture during those Vs. Modes...hmm...we really should have thought this little film metaphor through before typing it all out and refusing to revise. In any case, congrats to Klepek—we wish him the best of luck in his new position. More »

What do you get when you take some of the most well-spoken writers in the gaming press and throw them into a round table discussion on the year in video games? You get Slate Magazine's first annual Gaming Club, which assembles Slate's Chris Suellentrop, Newsweek's N'Gai Croal, Seth Schiesel of the New York Times, and MTV's Stephen Totilo to discuss the video games that made 2007 the "best year ever for video games." They talk about the finer points of BioShock - the Citizen Kane of video games - versus Tetris, the joys of Desktop Tower Defense, the massive growth in the handheld gaming segment, and the future of gaming as we know it. Through twelve pages of back and forth and one podcast the gaming intelligentsia manage to cover the entire year and then some, and it is a fascinating read if you've got the time and vocabulary and cognitive power to keep up.

]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=308218&view=rss&microfeed=true Stephen Totilo over at the new and improved MTV Multiplayer Blog has just launched the first in a series of MTV Multiplayer's Pronunciation Guides. To launch the new extremely helpful and indeed educational series, we learn how to pronounce Ubisoft once and for all, with the help of Art Director Alexandre Amancio, Creative Director Clint Hocking, and Producer Louis-Pierre Pharand. My only suggestion is that they splice the "The More You Know" sequence at the end of each guide, and maybe settle the bet Crecente and I have going on how to pronounce his last name once and for all in a future episode.

]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=279080&view=rss&microfeed=true It is, I would think, no big secret that MTV's Stephen Totilo and Newsweek's N'Gai Croal are two of my favorite gaming writers. (Clive Thompson would be the third, in my trinity of game writers)So N'Gai's latest feature over on his Newsweek blog is for me, quite a thing to behold. In Vs. Mode Totilo and N'Gai take one another to task over their feelings on God of War 2.I'll summarize, poorly, their takes on the game here, but you really, really owe it to yourself to go over there and read the whole thing because it's the sort of game critiquing that you will almost never find.Totilo comes down on the side of liking God of War 2 but not really being blown away with it. It is a marvel of game creation, he argues, but it's also very much more of the same. And not just because it's a sequel that uses some of the same sorts of setting and themes, but because the game, like its predecessor, uses "level design to define a character's personality", the personalilty of Kratos. And the sequel relies heavily on this same sort of trick. More »

How do you react when your game—Real Time World's Crackdown—gets arguably the best pack-in any developer could hope for in the form of a Halo 3 beta invite? Quite rationally, apparently. According to MTV game boy Stephen Totilo's rap session with former GTA and Lemmings developer David Jones, Crackdown just wasn't going to get the buzz it needed because it wasn't accurately represented in screenshots.
