Alpha Protocol manages sell 700k in spite of itself
Jul 31st
I like Alpha Protocol. I like it a lot. So far it’s one of my favorite games of the year in a year already full of superb RPGs and promising more to come.

“Digital Distribution is here to stay” explains studio boss Martyn Brown. “I think More >

Jul 31st
Wanna hear a joke? Laserdiscs! Hah. I kill me. Seriously, though, maybe the best thing to come from the doomed technology was arguably the Dragon’s Lair interactive videogames (and porno flicks your parents couldn’t really hide). With arcades dead in most parts of the country, and Laserdisc players buried in a pit somewhere, what’s a More >

I don’t care what you think of anime-licensed games. Well…I care a little, given that I’m encouraging you to get a demo of an anime-licensed game, apparently hoping that you’ll like it. Actually, it’s one of the better licensed games around, be anime-licensed, movie-licensed, book-licensed or otherwise.
It’s a 3D fighter based on the Naruto Shippuden More >
