Serving the douche: When usability trumps character
Oh, I have a partner in this game? Wonderful! You take this, and this, and this, oh I might need this, but take this…. Partners in video games have it rough. They’ve been shafted ever since the palette-swapped Luigi. From

After Pressing Start: Prince of Persia 2

Mercenaries should all wear Ponytails
I hope Tom forgives me for pushing this Just Gamers post down, but I couldn’t resist commenting about something I’ve noticed in Metroid: Other M. Initially, I wanted to save the comment for some future review, but frankly, who knows

Video game movie director hates video games
Let’s get this out of the way: I am not a licensed movie physician, or even a video game doctor. Usually, I’m about as much of an idiot as can be. I’m about as intelligent as a stick of gum.
