Video of the day: This Is Vegas debut trailer
This Is Vegas looks like one of those quick cash-in poker gamers that flooded the market in recent years mixed with a nice helping of Grand Theft Auto. That’s actually not a bad idea for a game, but Midway as the developer does add some concern to the concept. The problem with the above video, oddly, comes from the driving scenes. While driving around Vegas might be of some interest, is that really why anyone goes to Vegas? This isn’t San Francisco or some other city known for its roads. Still, if they can mange to capture the seedy side of Vegas well, they just might have a franchise on their hands.

Video of the day: First Heavy Rain game footage
about 2 years ago - View Comments
Actually, we can’t be sure how much of this is in game or not, but it certainly is showing off more than the infamous crying trailer. You get a couple of quick glimpses of one level (a neighborhood in the rain, who’d have guessed?) and some shots of the team modeling characters. And yes, it’s
E3 2008: Nintendo press conference review
about 2 years ago - View Comments
There was a time when E3 was a really, really big deal. Now, it’s simply a really big deal. One of the biggest factors of its whole big dealness comes from the console manufacturers’ press conferences. They typically range from the epic (introduction of the Wii) to the horribly, horribly wrong (introduction of the PS3
Video of the day: old school Paper Mario

Ever wondered what some folks did before video games? Before they had a DS or a Wii to draw all those pretty graphics for them? Well, they drew their own. It seems some folks simply can’t give up that old lifestyle, though, as they’ve taken to creating their own hand drawn video games. In this
Video of the day: Ninja Gaiden anime remake
about 2 years ago - View Comments
It may not sound like it at first, but Ninja Gaiden for the NES is the perfect title to get an anime redo. The game was one of the first to really use cut-scenes to tell a story within what was otherwise a general action platformer. This update is certainly stylish and adds the right
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe trailer
about 2 years ago - View Comments
One supposes that Midway had the trailer for this title all ready to go about two weeks ago, but then somebody pointed out no one would take it seriously launching around April 1. Now, two weeks later and there’s hardly a soul that can believe it, still. Seriously, while comics are known for their bizarre
Get paid for committing video game related crimes
about 2 years ago - View Comments
Violence in video games seems to always be the easy answer for rallying politicians. From Jack Thompson to Joe Leiberman, it seems like everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon and now gamers have the opportunity to make a buck from reporting crimes influenced by gaming. A national newspaper in the U.K. has posted an
Video of the day: Return to Dark Castle trailer
about 2 years ago - View Comments
You may not remember Dark Castle, but it already spawned one classic sequel. Think of it as a medieval Prince of Persia, but in black and white and for the Mac. The update is nothing graphically to crow about, but then again it isn’t trying to be. It’s classic 2D gaming celebrating its 2Dness. As
Video of the day: Valkyria Chronicles trailer is poetry in motion
about 2 years ago - Comments Off
There aren’t many games that can wow you simply by seeing them play, and having little to do with the sharpness of their graphics. Valkyria Chronicles, much like Okami before it, is simply poetry in motion. It’s a game that’s just beautiful to watch, regardless of how it plays. Now, let’s hope the gaemplay is
Video of the day: DS and iPhone make sweet music together
about 2 years ago - Comments Off
Who says the DS and iPhone have to be mortal enemies? Perhaps, the beauty of music can bring these two touch friendly devices together? That’s just what three enterprising individuals have tried with their video “iBand.” Two iPhones and one DS playing Electroplankton team up for a nice little tune together. One has to wonder

What I perceived from that excellent article is that the logos have become less artistic over the years. I guess everyone wants to simplify to make their logos easier to remember.
