Though we do cross-post a number of our more ‘freeform’ interviews from big sister site Gamasutra (and other sites like Game Career Guide) across here, if you just read GSW, and don’t wade through all the ‘conventional’ industry news on Gama, there’s a few things you will have missed every week.Thus, this post!
Highlights include […]

Grand Theft Auto IV Causes Outrage Before Release
Category: PlayStation 3, PS3, General, GTA IV, Grand Theft Auto 4, Chicago, California | 
Leave a Comment
Grand Theft Auto IV is still three days away from release, and the vast majority of people won’t have yet had the chance to sample the game. But that doesn’t seem to be stopping no-nothing do-gooders from calling for the game to be banned, before it even hits the streets, and before any of them […]

Operation Darkness Thoughts and a Rant
Category: Japanese, RPG | Leave a Comment
I don’t know how this game passed by my attention thus far, but when my roommate downloaded the demo to Operation Darkness I thought, “Hey, a turned based 3D game based on WII that’s cool.” Sure, it was populated by douschebaggy looking anime characters, but I’ll take it because I have no other choice (check […]

COLUMN: @Play: Larn, Or, I Hocked The Car To Buy A Lance Of Death
Category: Column: At Play | Leave a Comment
[’@ Play’ is a kinda-sorta bi-weekly column by John Harris which discusses the history, present and future of the Roguelike dungeon exploring genre.]
We’ve covered all of the current big-name roguelikes, at least nominally, at this point, so let’s look at one of the older games. Released back around 1986, Larn was one of […]

You know what game surprisingly ruled? Assault Heroes on Xbox LIVE Arcade. So we need a sequel, and we need it now, I’d say. Well, it’s coming, but we’ll have to wait until May 14, when the game hits XBLA for 800 MS Points.
While the game is mostly "more of the same," developer Wanako Studios […]

It isn’t until you see a mashup of all the horrible clips from a particular show until you realize just how bad that show was. I remember loving the Mortal Kombat cartoon show when I was younger. After watching this, though, I can’t believe I ever liked it. Damn you Internet. You continue to ruin […]

‘Halotography’: What you wanted next-gen Halo to look like
Category: World of Warcraft | Leave a Comment
I think we’re all kind of over the argument as to whether or not Halo 3 looked more like Halo 2.5. But after checking out these Halo photo compositions by photographer Joshua Reppenhagen, it’s hard for me not to wish that Bungie’s game looked a bit more like this.
Joshua used a combination of Halo 3 […]

Capcom bears the bad news: No Bionic Commando for the Virtual Console
Category: World of Warcraft | Leave a Comment
While Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the release of Bionic Commando: Rearmed, what are the chances of the original version hitting the Virtual Console? The highly-regarded classic would undoubtedly be a big seller, so why haven’t we heard anything about that possibility?
Bionic Commando: Rearmed producer Ben Judd has come clean […]

The PSP is still on a winning streak in its home country, with another 85,421 units sold this past week. With a little help from Capcom’s Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G, the PSP is leading Japanese hardware sales at the moment.
Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G (damn you and your silly long titles, Capcom) has already […]

Yay for weekend GameSetLinks. Yay for bright sun and opportunity to play missed Xbox Live Arcade titles. Yay. Wait, do I have to be more cogent than that?
Fair enough - highlights in here somewhere include Kyle Orland’s somewhat hidden GameSpot redeemo-journo column, Maggie Greene and Margaret Robertson busting out some high-level concepts, and the […]
