To: Ash From: Crecente I flew into London yesterday along with quite a large contingent of game writers to meet up with Bethesda folks and see what their 2009 schedule looks like. It will be the only opportunity, I’m told, until E3 that they will be showing what they have in store and giving us…
Stephen Totilo has long been a gaming journalist I’ve admired, from his thoughtful exchanges with Newsweek’s N’Gai Croal to his timely analysis of gaming stories that others, including Kotaku, let fall by the wayside. That’s why I’m so pleased to announce that Totilo’s departure from MTV doesn’t mean he’s landed himself a gig as a…

I’m not sure why you’d want to wrap your DSi in a thin jacket of metal. But if you did this would certainly be an option. These NexiLux cases allow you to access all of the DSi’s ports and don’t increase the volume of the case noticeably. Of course they also let you change the…
Last month when I sat down with High Voltage to talk to them about their upcoming Wii shooter, The Conduit. I also managed to finagle some time playing the game. I was surprised at how deftly the game seemed to handle… with one exception. The Conduit is meant to be a solid first-person shooter built…
Fallout New Vegas was announced moments ago during a Bethesda press conference in London. The new game was revealed by Bethesda’s Pete Hines who said that the publisher is working with Obsidian Entertainment on the title. It will be coming out next year for the PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. “It is not a…
To: Ash From: Crecente Re: I Wrote You A Letter. No, You Didn’t. But… You know what’s worse than thunder snow? Spring thunder snow! Actually it isn’t that bad once you realize that it can snow pretty much anytime in Colorado. It snowed the day Tristan was born, in May. The trick to spring snow…
With 100 million DS and DSi in the hands of gamers worldwide, Nintendo’s portable is a mighty tempting platform for developers. So why are only seven of the nearly 1,100 games for the DS rated Mature? A popular argument is that Nintendo’s portable is for kids and soccer moms only, something that the Japanese developer…
Dwell On It points out that back in February Bethesda Softworks applied for a trademark on the word Fallout for “entertainment services in the nature of an on-going television program.” It could be a case of covering all of your bases, or maybe they really are thinking about turning the role-playing game into a tv…
Yesterday Sony announced that a third iteration of SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs: Fireteam Bravo was coming to the Playstation Portable. Today we get a first look at it.
The Pirate Bay took a broadsides in Swedish court and the Entertainment Software Association is over the moon about it. “Piracy is the single greatest threat to the development and release of innovative and creative entertainment software that consumers demand and enjoy. It’s a job killer in an economy that needs millions more jobs, not…
When Microsoft announced they were extending their warranty for Xbox 360s that received a E74 error, I was curious how different the code was from the red ring of death. Not very, it turns out. I contacted the company earlier this week to find out what a E74 code meant and whether it was possibly…
Finally a solution for gamers who want to game but just don’t have the upper body strength to support their own arms. Ikea’s Jesper is a padded bench that you straddle while playing games. The design allows you to rest your arms in front of you as you game, thus mitigating even the slightly physical…
.html I’m not totally in love with Harley Quinn’s look in Batman: Arkham Asylum. She’s a little too hard, a little too grimy.
Sony will, once more, be hosting a PlayStation Lounge at the annual Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival this weekend. This time around the PlayStation Oasis will include a bevy of PlayStation 3 consoles, lounge chairs, internet connectivity and, best of all, air conditioning. The Oasis will be showing off a selection of games for…
To: Bash From: Crecente Re: Regular Phone Line Is Regular Tristan flew to my mom and step-dad’s today in El Paso. I always cringe when he flies alone. It completely freaks me out, but I never let on to him. I want him to think of flying as an adventure as long as he can.…
Criterion Games released this video showing 15 of the 33 new cop cars coming with their downloadable Cops and Robber content. Too bad none of the cop cars seem to be real ones. Though, they’re still pretty cool looking.
Last month we wrote about a pair of Air Force 1 Playstation 2 Tenth Anniversary shoes that Sony sent us. The auction for the shoes just went live on eBay with 100 percent of the proceeds going to anti-Teen Dating Violence organization Jennifer Ann’s Group. Only 50 of these were made. The shoes are size…
While looking into the issue of Nintendo potentially making the DSi’s anti-piracy tech more robust, I also checked to see if it was possible that legitimate copies of DS games weren’t working in the DSi. The short answer is, probably not. Based on the people calling in to Nintendo to talk about DS games they…
