The Writers’ Strike is finally over. The Writers Guild just hours ago approved a settlement with the media companies. Now they can get back to making really bad movies out of our favorite video games. [image: 1010 Wins]

Stuck in an office today? No console for me here either. At least I’ve just found the One Semester of Spanish Love Song. My highschool Spanish is almost gone, but I never could have done any better than this:

flOw, downloadable from the PlayStation Store, is a great veg out game. Problem is that it only lasts about a day in front of the console before it’s played through, and a few weekends later it’s a bit played out. Should be perfect as a waiting-on-someone-else, mobile game though. The soundtrack is just as haunting [...]

The brains behind Brain Age, Dr. Ryuta Kawashima, may be smart but he’s turned down about $11 million in royalties form Nintendo. The money is his share of the $22 million in royalties Nintendo owes Tohoku University for the technology in the 17 million copies of Brain Age (Brain Training outside of North America). After [...]

Only one PC game in 2007 sold over a million units (and it’s name is Warcraft). The PC game take of $911 million is a lot of money, but console games had a record year and total sales of $17.94 billion. Another comparison, the #10 console game sold twice as many units as the #2 [...]

The latest Bungie podcast chats with Christian Allen, their new Lead Designer, about his background in the game industry. Why should you care though? Because he drops a hint about the next Bungie title being something completely new than Halo or anything they’ve done before. It sounds a lot like he’s leading up to it [...]

Turok gets one thumb up and several hours from me the last few nights. Gameplay is smooth and fast and the dinosaurs aren’t as tough to deal with as I expected, but they’re still a fun distraction that can be used for a bit of tactical advantage during a big multiplayer game. Here’s a quick [...]

Gamers are getting noticed from all over recently and some of the first companies to notice us were the energy drink makers and convenience stores. How do you pick a drink though? There’s only a few brands in-stock at any store so it’s not like there’s tons of reviews an comparisons. Not any more though, [...]

The guys over at College Humor TV aren’t very good at Guitar Hero (it’s OK guys, neither am I). To make up for their poor playing they’re going to be mopping up the mess and leftovers from the Guitar Hero rockstars. Check out the Roadie Hero trailer above.

Devil May Cry 4 looks like one of the best games (other than Super Smash Bros Brawl) there is to wait around for. These trailer (above) and gameplay (that’s HD, low-def here) videos are leaving me drooling to grab it on Tuesday (Feb 5th). Gameplay is far more important to me than graphics or storyline [...]

The only part of Super Smash Bros Brawl not in the dozens of game trailers that have hit North America is the incredible Final Smash attacks. Now that the game has been released in Japan (and handily sold 500,000 copies despite Nintendo’s distribution problems) the Final Smashes are all over the internet. They’re a bit [...]

The internet stinks sometimes, but this isn’t a spam-blog or an ugly made by a friend-of-a-friend site. What They Play is a professional site built for parents, and it’s about video games. The site reviews video games for all systems (Wii, PS3, Xbox 360, PC, & older consoles) and gives each a rating. None of [...]

Squad control, air drops, and mechs are getting us excited about Tiberium. A first person shooter with buttery-smooth looking gameplay and a lot of multiplayer online promise as the in the Command & Conquer line. The trailer (after the jump) is early and probably doesn’t have finished graphics (at least I hope they’re not done). [...]

The Turok demo is finally available in North America on XBox LIVE. It’s about time too. I’m all over some more playable dinosaur fighting action – but it will be nice to know if standing in a very short line (in about a week, man this demo is late!) for this game will be worth [...]

Actually it’s there, in Japan. They always gets the cool toys first … but we can spoil all the surprises by checking out footage like this Super Smash Bros Brawl opening cinematic video: Get ready to brawl. The best game ever drops March 9th.
