Re: Let’s Assume Newell’s Serious

 
You know, looking back on this quote makes me want to laugh my ass off:
“The PS3 is a total disaster on so many levels, I think It’s really clear that Sony lost track of what customers and what developers wanted. I’d say, even at this late date, they should just cancel it and do a [...]

Let’s Assume Newell’s Serious

A little over a week ago, Valve’s Gabe Newell had the following to say:
“The PS3 is a total disaster on so many levels, I think It’s really clear that Sony lost track of what customers and what developers wanted. I’d say, even at this late date, they should just cancel it and do a ‘do [...]

Guitar Hero + Neversoft = wtf?

We may or may not have mentioned in AWGP-12 that Neversoft is now working with Red Octane on the Guitar Hero franchise. Well, an interesting interview over at Gamedaily BIZ helps shine some light on this move. Gamedaily BIZ interviewed Dusty Welch, the head of publishing at Red Octane, and the interview is below.
GameDaily BIZ: We’ll start with the obvious. Why is Neversoft developing the next Guitar Hero [...]

January, a good time for gaming

Sorry for the lack of posts, readers/listeners! I’ve been on vacation for quite some time, and I’m NOT going to pay 11 bucks a day for DSL. But I’m home, ready to blog.
As the title says, January really IS a good time for gaming, especially this year. Sure, the Wii and PS3 games are going to slow and suck, but that allows you to catch-up with some awesome games. Thanks to vacation, I stopped playing Wii and picked up Final Fantasy 5 Advance again. Let me just say, that FFVA is extremely addictive, Save-Anywhere or not. I’m 22 hours in, and loving it.
WarioWare: Smooth Moves arrived in stores yesterday. I’m looking to pick that up ASAP. But I am worried. WarioWare: Mega Microgame$, [...]
