To: Crecente From: Bashcraft RE: iPod Touching Venting! And sorry to do so. But, I dunno, it seems like companies recently have gone overboard with the drip fed PR tactics. There are games, games that I am recently excited about, but that are being mishandled by their publishers. These drip fed PR tactics actually hurt…
While it would take a magician to repair the game’s myriad AI glitches, STALKER’s graphics are more easily improved. And boy, can they be improved. This is the “STALKER Complete 2009” mod (released last month), which does an admirable job of making the game look like it was, well, made in 2009. New textures, new…

Ah, yes, 8-bit chiptune. It’s music that is performed and composed by using retro game hardware like the Famicom and the Gameboy as instruments. Love it, great stuff. And as far as Japanese indie chiptune record labels go, Vorc Records is right up there. Vorc was chiptune-centeric website originally launched way back in 2001, and…
It’s been a bad week for PR stunts, yes. So it’s heartening to see that when Heavy Rain comes out with gameplay footage, it actually comes out with a decent amount of gameplay footage. What you make of it all is another matter. It…looks a lot like Indigo Prophecy to me. Indigo Prophecy meets They…
Three things we have never done: Won seven Grand Slam tennis titles, married Tatum O’Neal or played a video game version of ourselves. John McEnroe has done all three.

Yup. It’s another drip-fed PR stunt, but hey, it’s a few brief seconds of Modern Warfare 2 footage we’re talking about here. Some people are cool with that.

For all Nintendo’s recent follies, one thing they’ve done right is bring Starfy to the West. But boy, it sure took a while. Want to know why? Blame Nintendo of America.
