Who didn’t see this one coming?
When you release a free program that allows everyone and their brother [or sister] to create a creature and then upload it to the internet and YouTube you’re bound to have a few people [or a bunch] who insist upon adding certain “parts” to their creatures.
EA is apparently all up in boobs arms about the “misuse” of their creator and I’m really not sure why EA is so surprised. Once the complete Creator comes out with the game, there’s no telling what kinds of creatures are created with interestingly placed parts.
After the entire game …read more

That guy on the left is me.
I have finally hit the gaming wall where I can’t find a single damn thing that inspires me to buy it. Hell, I can’t even find something that inspires me to rent it.
Actually, I take that back.
I downloaded the demo of Folklore over the weekend and after ten minutes of trudging through the game, I really wanted to gouge my eyes out with a dull spoon. The story had promise but promise of a rockin’ story just can’t overcome shit game play.
I just searched the crap game on Metacritic.com and I’m damn …read more

I found this video on GamePolitics.com and you just HAVE to read their entire article about Fox News smearing Mass Effect.

I’m just a tad bit confused and apparently I’m not the only one.
I wrote back in July about my discovery of Haze; I was beside myself excited about this game.
And then, Ubisoft broke my little ole heart and announced that they were pushing the game back to the fourth fiscal quarter of this year.
Now the confusion part comes in.
If you go to Playstation’s page for Haze, the release date is listed as 01/2008. Seriously, WTF?
Why are you playing with my emotions like this?!
Don’t get me wrong here. I don’t want to wait until the fourth quarter for Haze …read more

I must be the only person in “the industry” who thinks this is a bad idea. Or, if others feel as I do, I haven’t found where they’ve writing said opinion.
Well, I feel like crap today so I’ll use that as my excuse for being the asshole.
God of War: The Movie is a bad idea. Plain and simple.
The first God of War game rocked. It introduced a new way to kill things with all of its head wrenching goodness. The manic button pushing to kill sea monsters was tons of fun. And, who didn’t love …read more

Little Big Planet is adorable. Just look at the guy to the left. How could you not love him?
I posted the trailer for the cute little thing here and I was looking forward to the demo that was promised by the end of ‘07.
Unfortunately, I [and you guys too] have to wait until next year.
Ron Eagle, PR guy for Sony America, told Stephen Totilo that, “I can officially confirm that there won’t be a demo this year.”
I know it sucks, but game delays aren’t a new thing and the game is slated for full release in ‘08 anyway.
Just …read more

Wait a second.
Didn’t this game just come out?!
Evan Wells, of Naughty Dog fame, gave a purty darn honest interview with Three Speech and says that a second game is a sure thing.
“We developed Uncharted as a franchise. The pulp action/adventure genre lends itself perfectly to serialization…even if we don’t do an Uncharted sequel right away, you can pretty much count on us doing one in the near future.”
However, don’t expect the second game anytime soon.
Wells said that “full production on Uncharted lasted almost exactly two years…” along with “…about a year of pre-production”
So, it’s a fair bet that we …read more

This is going to be a very light week for gaming, folks. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing. Last week was a doozy and I need to catch my breath.
Let’s talk PC releases first.
Shadowgrounds Survivor is the follow-up to the underground hit, Shadowgrounds. The screen shots and buzz are promising for this game that plays up the tried and true “save the world from aliens” shtick.
Speedball 2 – Tournament takes rival gangs and makes them beat each other down with a steel ball. I tried to find the game on Amazon.com but Amazon …read more

Ubisoft, you’re killin’ me!
There were two games that I heard about a couple of years ago that really spurred me to get a PS3: Assassin’s Creed and Haze.
Assassin’s Creed is kicking ass and taking names with its “second fastest-selling new IP on an individual format since 2002″ status in the UK and it’s #2 in PS3 rentals and #1 in XBox 360 rentals at the time of this writing at GameFly.com.
That’s impressive shit!
Especially after some really mixed reviews. I love the game and would review it, but I’m a horrendously slow player and I have a one year …read more
