Original GoldenEye Dev Has A Slight Issue With Remake

Martin Hollis, who while with Rare was one of the men behind the original GoldenEye on the Nintendo 64, has some kind words to say about Activision, the publisher pushing the remake. Oh, sorry, did I say kind? “I imagine it is a business decision isn’t it?”, HOllis told Official Nintendo Magazine. “This name is…

This Only Works In John Woo Movies

If I learned anything from Unreal Tournament, it’s that two automatic pistols are better than one, and holding them sideways makes them fire faster. It’s two popular handgun fallacies in one! Unreal Tournament and the Unreal series in general have produced some pretty amazing weapons with equally impressive alternate firing modes. Some of my personal…

Airman Defends Military’s Video Game Sales Ban

First off, I am an active duty Air Force member.

Hopefully I can illuminate the situation. It is a series of retail outlets that serves ONLY military personnel.…

Talk Amongst Yourselves

We’d love for you to talk about video games right here. Notice that the art is different today? The artist for the work we originally chose to feature for the month of September in TAY does not want his work used. Fair enough. We’ll use Peter Paul Rubens’ ”La chasse au tigre, au lion et…

Army Vet Insulted By Military’s Video Game Sales Ban

Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath Is Back!

Developer Just Add Water is working on a HD remake of Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath. That’s the good news. The bad news, at least for Xbox owners, is that for now it seems to be a PS3 exclusive. It’s a cruel irony that one of the few original Xbox games that was never made compatible with…

This Shirt Looks Familiar
