Maybe the website for Will Wright‘s entertainment think tank is just a website. But given that it has three games of sorts hidden on it, I’d like to think there’s more to it than that. I’ve been messing around with all three for a bit now and am most intrigued by the one you can…
Nothing can top Stalin dancing to retro techno, nothing. But seeing a teen in pink spandex groove to All Hail Stalinator gets pretty close. Oh, and there’s some gameplay clips in this Stalin Vs.

Nintendo has been on a winning streak since the original Nintendo DS hit stores in 2004. That was followed by the redesigned DS Lite and then the insanely popular Wii. The new Nintendo DSi, sporting two cameras and the ability to download games, has quite a lot to live up to. But it’s not such…

To: Ash From: Crecente Re: Moving is Hard Spent the day writing. Not writing, writing, but mostly blogging.

Nintendo launched the DSi here in North America this weekend, and with it a batch of free DSi Store points for people to use to pick up a free game or two.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is not a movie game. Raven Software senior producer Jeff Poffenbarger wants to be crystal clear on that before we get started.

With Midway in the middle of troublesome bankruptcy proceedings and rumors of the Mortal Kombat dev team leaving, it’s a little surprising to learn that not one, but three companies are considering buying the company. According to our sources, Warner Brothers, Ubisoft and a private Chicago investor are all looking over the company for possible…

To: Ash From: Crecente Re: Cops Crackdown On Bashcraft, North Korean Missiles Fly Overhead I flew out to Chicago late last week for a long weekend in the city.

About two-thirds of the way through Amazing Chicago’s Funhouse Maze is an interactive floor. In the room games are projected onto the floor that you can play. The loop of interactive videos includes a giant…
This video gives us a glimpse of the heavy trooper found in upcoming shooter Wolfenstein. The video also gives you a glimpse of the heavy trooper’s disintegration gun, though you don’t get to see all of those hats falling to the ground that so amused me during my demo of the game last month.
This weekend the GAME ON! This Spring We’re All Fun and Games event kicked off at Chicago’s Navy Pier. The idea was to pack the pier’s Crystal Gardens with Xbox 360s and let people play games on the system to their heart’s content. They also decided to run a Guitar Hero World Tour tournament. Well,…
