    Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

    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 […]

    Review Quickie: Turok is Cool, but Not to the Cool Kids
    Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

    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 […]

    Can’t Play Guitar? Grab Roadie Hero Instead.
    Sunday, February 3rd, 2008

    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: Japanese Release Trailer & Final Gameplay Video
    Saturday, February 2nd, 2008

    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 […]

    Friday, February 1st, 2008

    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 these […]

    Far Cry 2 Micro-Trailer, Ubisoft Just Wanted to Brag
    Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

    Quick, shoot! It’s a zebra … and a field … ?
    Far Cry 2 is months off but Ubisoft is already bragging about their new graphics engine. It really is the most phenomenal-looking, uh, grass I’ve ever seen in a game. The 45-seconds of scenery contains no gameplay though. Keep watching for more trailers […]

    PS3 Currently the Only Blu-Ray 2.0 Player
    Monday, January 21st, 2008

    The top-selling Blu-ray player by a huge margin is Sony’s PS3. That should be good news to all current owners, since the PS3 is (supposedly) the only Blu-ray player currently on the market that’s compatible with the Blu-ray 2.0 specifications. If you’re currently an owner of another Blu-ray player, suck it up, the bad news […]
