We’re Betting that Slavery: The Game is an Elaborate Troll
My guess is that, 10 seconds after Microsoft and Sony are made aware that their corporate symbols are endorsing a fake slavery RTS, seen at the end of this fake trailer, this offensive piece of attention-whoring is going to be abolished from YouTube. That, or the alleged Kentuckians allegedly making this game are stupid enough…

Cumming Mom Vows Only to Buy New After Finding Dick Pic in Used Game
From Georgia, uh, comes the most pernicious piece of anti-used games propaganda I’ve ever seen. A mother of two small children says she will from now on buy new games because she found a hand-drawn pornographic picture inserted in the case of a used one bought at GameStop. The kicker? This all went down on…

Poorly-Dubbed Trailer Lands Uncharted 3 in Trouble with Brazilians
As English-speakers, we take for granted a lot of things: One, that every game will either be originally published in our language or localized for it (and woe betide those that aren’t…) Two: That the voice acting, if incompetent, will at least sound poorly acted and not read off a page.

Let’s face it, half the things we do are window dressing. Take running alongside that limousine: it’d take an anti-tank missile to put a dent in that damn thing. There we are, out for show, trying to make the President look more presidential. I don’t know if it was ad-libbed, but, “You have a rendezvous…

The Woefully Inadequate, Apologetically Dramatic Dragon Con Day One Cosplay Gallery
My best camera lost its shutter button a year ago. My second best camera lost its button five shots into today’s Dragon Con day one cosplay harvest. My third best camera was purchased at Wal-Mart a half hour ago. I finally get the hang of my expensive Nikon camera, and it self-destructs on me. I…

The Physical Warfare Pack is an Excellent Reason to Look at More Battlefield 3 Footage
Available as a preorder bonus at select retailers and EA’s Origin service, the relatively unexciting Physical Warfare Pack gives us an excuse to look at more Battlefield 3, which is always good. Folks that preorder Battlefield 3 at participating retailers will score early access to the DAO-12 semi-automatic shotgun, Type 88 Light Machine Gun, flechette…

Multiplayer Steals the Show in Madden NFL 12
In the online multiplayer era of sports gaming, I have been a Grinch-like hermit, rarely venturing forth into it except to ragequit and rant that none of what they do reflects reality, and to get off my lawn. Madden, which has a culture of elite play spanning about a decade, television shows celebrating it, and…
