The other day Peter and I were floating around on our hoversofas being fed grapes by our sexy robot servants when the question of the year’s top 10 games came up. It seems ridiculously early in the year, but for various reasons having to do with the exciting field of magazine production, we have to [...]
Playing single dad will take it out of a dude. Or at least out of this dude. It’s like there’s a magnet in my forehead and a magnet in my desk and the two are attracting each other with a force that will not be denied. In an attempt to shock my system into some [...]
I made one. I do it every year! They make me.
I’m almost done with Dead Space, a game that continues to present me with visions of extreme and total wrongness. But I’m taking a break to actually fire up my PS3, which I don’t do too often, and mess around with LittleBigPlanet, a trailer for which is here: LittleBigPlanet is basically what would happen if [...]
I’m not at E3. I read about it on blogs like a normal person. While I am doing so the only thing I really care about is the trailers. So I’m going to paste all the major trailers together into one post and say things about them. Because I care. First up: The Sims 3. [...]

Every year I very graciously get asked to help judge the Best of E3 competition. And every year I agree, because I genuinely want to judge said competition, and I genuinely believe that I will actually go to E3. And I end up not going.
Via Kotaku: Kia is doing a cross-promotion in Spain with Playstation 3. As part of it they’ve got a website up showing what it’s like to drive a Kia in a PS3 driving game. Except – as an astute blogger noticed – the license plate on the little virtual Kia clearly says “PGR.” It’s a [...]
What is it with Sony having good ideas lately? It’s getting harder to make fun of them. Apparently they’re having so much success with their Folding@Home project (which uses spare processing power on PS3′s to do computation-intensive protein folding simulations for the good of mankind) that Sony is exploring the idea of selling some of [...]
