Gears of War Dominates Golden Joysticks

Gears of War kicked some major boo-tay at the UK's Golden Joystick awards earlier today. The game took home four awards including the biggie, Ultimate Game of the Year. Meanwhile, God of War II took Playstation game of the Year, and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess grabbed the honors as the top Nintendo title. Hit the jump for a full list of winners compliments of CVG.

Halo 3 Killed The Video Stars

No, that wasn't a preview of Gizmodo after getting completely pwned in our tournament later this week, that was Hollywood explaining this year's October, which has seen a 27% drop in theater revenue.

We Can't Freaking Wait To Teabag Hitler

We've gotten sick of the 'historically accurate' sales pitch that's come standard in every WWII shooter released over the last fifteen years. We get it already, that European street with the impossible to find snipers is just like the real thing. It's neat, but often does little for larger gameplay. But in Akella's upcoming Hitler assassination adventure A Stroke of Fate (PC we believe), this historical accuracy will have huge impacts on gameplay.
We pay a lot of attention to the historical authenticity in the project. We involved a historical consultant to keep an eye on the authenticity of events and various features of the game.

Even my parents, who know nothing about video games, had heard about all the foolishness surrounding the launch, the line waiting, riots, shootings, etc. And, here we are on Christmas Eve and you can walk into pretty much any store and pick one up.
