More Finished Games?
Comments of the most curious nature came out of Gaijin Games’ Alex Neuse’s interview with GameSetWatch. To provide you with a block quote: I think that the indie scene is out of control. There are SO many games being made,

Hiatus Over!
One of the trickiest bits of being a small, indie games journalism blog is that there’s only a couple of us, and we all have lives. This blog, at the moment, has four relatively regular contributors, and the problem is

The Last Story and the return of Japan only
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lgtws_tFHps&fs=1&hl=en_US] Anyone whose followed video games in the past few weeks knows about the Last Story. It’s being developed by Mistwalker, the company founded by Hironobu Sakaguchi once he jumped ship from Square Enix in the early/mid 2000’s, and has

Some brief thoughts on Final Fantasies

Mass Effect 2 (PS3) prediction
I’m going to channel my inner Michael Pachter here and make a bold prediction: Mass Effect 2 for the Playstation 3 will fail. It will move some copies, yes, but it’s unclear whether BioWare will even recoup the mild investment
