U.S. MyBuzz Goes Live

Mike Fahey — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 13:20:00 EDT

I am not allowed near anything even vaguely resembling a trivia question at this point. Having received rigorous Trivial Pursuit training by my parents as a young boy, I've been condition to answer inane questions above any other priority. Case in point, the U,S, version of Sony's MyBuzz website for the PS3 game Buzz! Quiz TV is now live, allowing players to create their own puzzles that can be shared with friends, rated by the community, and ultimately played within the game once it's released later this month. As of this writing there are only four quizzes on the site, and despite being a bit behind in my work today I played them all. More »

Konami Launches DDR Community Site

Mike Fahey — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 13:20:00 EDT

Has it really been 10 years since DanceDanceRevolution two-stepped into the gaming scene? Even more incredulously, has Konami really one 10 years without building a community portal for the series? No matter, as rectification comes now with the announcement of DDROnlineCommunity.com, a community portal where fans of Konami's footloose franchise can gather together in peace and harmony, sharing videos, writing blogs, and sprucing up their personal profiles so they look much better than mine up there.

Prince Of Persia Site Reveals New Logo

Mike Fahey — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 22:00:00 EDT

The black goo that previously obscured glowing blue glyphs has oozed away from the front page of Ubisoft's Prince of Persia website, revealing a brilliant blue logo and the promise of things to come.

Naruto: Ultima Ninja Storm Website Is Tricky

Mike Fahey — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 19:00:00 EDT

The official website for Namco Bandai's Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm for the PlayStation 3 is now live! Inside you'll find a spot to sign up for a newsletter, the trailer we posted yesterday, and the screenshots we posted the day before, along with a few choice new additions. Ah, but wait! You cannot simply enter the website...that is not the way of the ninja. You must first discover the correct combination on the puzzle wheel before you can get to the goodies inside. If only there were some sort of giant hint, staring you right in the face. Until that appears, you'll just have to blindly fumble for the solution. More »

Raving Rabbids 2 Site Live

Mike Fahey — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 16:00:54 EDT

Ubisoft has unleashed the raving website for Rayman Raving Rabbids 2: Electric Boogaloo (not the actual name), and as expected it is chock full of Rabbids doing raving things, with nary a Rayman in sight. Seriously, why is he even still in the title? This isn't about Rayman anymore. Witness Rabbids hurting themselves around the world! In Osaka you'll find martial arts Rabbids doling out game info. Venice contains a tranquil punting scene, videos, and screenshots. Finally we have Miami, where you can bling out your PC with screensavers and wallpapers. If they don't immediately start selling the crossed plunger baseball cap, they will be missing out on $20-30 of my all-important monies. More »

SwitchPlanet - Swap Games Free Online

Mike Fahey — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 15:25:18 EDT

Just recently emerging from private beta, SwitchPlanet is a brand new site dedicated to allowing users to trade games, movies, and CDs in a safe and money-free environment. Basically what happens is this: You list what you have to trade, if another user wants it they can 'buy' it from you using SwitchBucs, a sort of virtual currency. Once the user receives your item, you get the number of SwitchBucs you posted the item for in the first place, which you can then use to request your own items. The site's goal is to "establish SwitchPlanet.com as a premier online community that is committed to helping reduce the impact waste is having on the planet by trading the things we no longer use to get the things we want."

Katamari Damacy Sucks

Brian Crecente — Wed, 16 Feb 2005 11:06:34 EST

Jenkins, you ignorant slut. Apparently there is a lone soul out there who absolutely hates Katamari Damacy. Now, I realize that reviews are opinions, and that opinions can never be wrong. But let me propose one exception to that axiom: Opinions can be wrong if, and only if, your name is Jevon Jenkins, and you're talking about Katamari Damacy. More »

Decline of the video game editorial

Brian Crecente — Thu, 02 Dec 2004 12:34:52 EST

I thought I found a juicy editorial for you to absorb when I happened upon the piece titled The Decline of the Video Game Mascot in Access Gamer. Turns out the five-page diatribe does a better job of illustrating the decline of the video game editorial. Get to the point man, the point! And try to make it not be the opposite of your headline.
