The other shoe has fallen. In my earlier "what price cut!?" post I stated that 60 GB drives were likely to go away in the future; I just didn't think it would be so soon . It appears the "price cut" is only applicable to the 60...
Just hit the web . Wanted to highlight it as it's a great, non-technical summary of the current console war that really boils the current state down quite succintly (and accurately, in my opinion). Couple of quick quotes: If you or your loved ones...
At least according to Michael Pachter, in this interview on Gamesindustry.biz. Pretty interesting if true - there was a lot of angst about this year being the trough of the console cycle, and to end the year +5-10% year-over-year (versus predictions of...
Just learned how to embed YouTube videos, and so wanted to post the Daily Show clip I mentioned in the previous article. Enjoy! Share this post: email it! | bookmark it! | digg it! | live it!
Back from Peru, and digging out through a ton of email. You don't want to know how much, but I'll give you a hint and say it was in the middle four digits. Yep, all in two weeks. Anyway, saw a post on Evil Avatar linking to Game Politics . It...
... at least for Nintendo. Yes, I'm still in Peru (Arequipa, to be exact) on vacation, but we're killing a half-day hiding inside a coffee shop from the beating sun. (The Inca Trail and Machu Picchu were amazing, by the way!) Anyway, so I have...
Title pretty much says it all, but I'm heading off to Peru with some friends to hike the Inca Trail and see the Machu Picchu ruins. We will be gone for a few weeks (first multi-week vacation in years!), and that means I likely won't be posting...
Just saw a quick post by Gabe on Penny Arcade talking about our favorite anti-violence crusader Jack Thompson. I'm personally no fan of Mr. Thompson, and definitely think he's misguided on the issue of violence in games. In fact, I wouldn't even draw...
It's been interesting watching the growth of casual games, and the pointing to that growth (and extensions such as Yahoo Games, Live Arcade, and others) as being the potential savior of a gaming industry struggling with rising costs of development and...
Saw a link on Gamerscoreblog.com to a recent presentation Peter Moore gave entitled "The Elite 8: Eight Ways to Confront Elitism and Open Doors for Our Industry". You can hit the link to get the actual slides, but the summary John gave sums it up quite...
Some of you may recall Peter Moore's comment earlier this year when he described what he saw in the future of game regarding Electronic Software Distribution, or ESD for short. To quote: "Years from now, the concept of driving to the store to buy a plastic...
Some of you probably remember I'm a big fan of Dead Rising , and so I'm pleased to pass on some great news for those of you who live in the Seattle area. Keiji Inafune, the Executive Producer of Dead Rising will be at the EB Games in Redmond Town Center...
Just wanted to share a quick post to share this link about Transgaming's Cider from Red Herring. Not a lot of information, but it appears Cider allows game developers to basically wrap their Windows game such that it can run on an Intel Mac. The key appears...
Rumors have been going around the web for years that Apple might get into the mobile phone market. Engadget just posted an article highlighting some interesting finds: "Anyhow, in the June 28th iPod updater package, apparently if one were to analyza few...
I'm always fascinated (and frightened) by how easily the tone of a story can be changed with some selective quoting. Take one of today's stories, variants of which ran on both Joystiq and Next-gen's websites. Both sites used a Guardian Unlimited story...
