So how does that cool-aid taste?
EA CEO John Riccitiello was interviewed by MTV recently. In that interview he defends the games that EA has put out in the last couple of years, despite the fact that most of them were crap.

Say it aint so….

I just found out that it’s been more or less confirmed at E3 this year that the next installment of Bioware’s awesome game, Knights of the Old Republic is going to be an MMO, developed by Bioware and published by Electronic Arts.
This drives me absolutely nuts. It seems everywhere I turn now I [...]
Approaching the precipice…

Penny Arcade is in the final preparations to release a game. Well, I ought to say that Penny Arcade is about to release a game that is based on them, but developed by someone else. As both a programmer and game development hobbyist, these kinds of distinctions need to be made, [...]
GTA IV: NOT the end of the world…

Originally I was just going to write a comment on Wil’s post, but I refuse to sign up for a TypePad account just to do so (there are enough “services” that have my info an blast me with unwanted email as it is).
I wont try to expand on what Wil wrote, since he [...]
…And so passes a gaming pioneer
Source: WikipediaI’ve read a lot of blog posts these last day or so, each putting their own thoughts to the same topic: the passing of Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons.
The two posts I think put it best were Wil Wheaton’s and Penny Arcade’s. Both had similar things to say, in that [...]
Guitar Hero Goodness
I’ve been playing guitar hero 3 for a couple of weeks now. Nothing religious, mind you, but I have spared some valuable attention to the game. I’ve beaten the game on easy, which isn’t saying all that much. My foray into the harder levels left me decidedly frustrated, and realizing that [...]
Gaming Goodness
My consoles have collected a rather nice coating of dust over the last couple of months. It’s not that I’ve lost interest in them, I just dont have the time anymore. Between a new job, my upcoming cert exam, a full roster of art projects and a precocious two year old, there just [...]
The Black Abyss of the Damned
Or, if you prefer, World of Warcraft.
Yes, it is true. In spite of being a longtime anti-fan of MMORPGS, I have been sucked into the chasm that is generally known as the world of Azeroth. Like an unseeing tentacle rising from that deep blackness, it has seized upon my psyche with the grip of a [...]
Victory at last
At long last, I have finally managed to find and purchase a brand spanking new Nintendo Wii. It was rather a surprise to find one, but as someone once close to me used to say, throw enough darts, and eventually you will hit a bulls-eye. That is not very different from what I did, as [...]
Surplus? I hardly call that a virtue…
I have been patrolling my local gaming outlets in ever optimistic, but ultimately unsuccessful efforts, to procure a Wii. I, like many others have walked away empty handed.
The PS3 has been widely regarded as a superior system to both the Wii the 360. It’s a natural assumption that the subsequent demand for the system is [...]
