Designer Stephane Perruchon has always liked the DualShock controller’s design, its “excellent ergonomics”.

While the worst of it seems to be behind us, 2009 will still be remembered as the year of the global economic crisis. And when people are in times of economic crisis, well, they buy less video games. A joint report issued by Enterbrain, the NPD Group and GfK Chart-Track has revealed that video game…
Too cute cat-eared game Tayutama -Kiss On My Diety- was released today in Japan. The Xbox 360 visual novel was given Japan’s 17-years-old-and-up CERO D — the equivalent of the ESRB Mature rating.

During an earnings Q&A earlier today, Activision spoke a little of their 2010 product line-up. A line-up that you may be stunned to hear includes new Call of Duty, Guitar Hero and Spider Man games. You can no doubt imagine the kind of shambling corpse that’ll be trotted out as Guitar Hero 6 (or whatever…
The clock is ticking on bricks and mortar game retailers. But according to Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata, the clock will be ticking for another 20 years before digital distribution takes over and rules the school. “Most radical people even dare to say that retailers will be replaced by digital distribution in no time,” Iwata said…
