SimCity Box Set

There’s no doubt that Maxis has sold the hell out of SimCity since it’s debut way back in ‘89. And by “sold the hell out of” I mean they’ve sold over 17 million of the games since the original launch.

After getting trounced repeatedly by the DS, it seems that Sony has a secret weapon to boost sales: Skype. As Gamasutra points out, the rumor that the PSP would serve as a “portable communication” device isn’t new, but now we […]

The Brits Love Assassin’s Creed

Not all British love Assassin’s Creed.
Case in point, my “boyfriend“. Then again, he does live in Australia, so maybe he doesn’t count any longer as British.

God of War Movie a Bad Idea

I must be the only person in “the industry” who thinks this is a bad idea. Or, if others feel as I do, I haven’t found where they’ve writing said opinion.

Rockstar Wins Appeal

I’m sure that Rockstar is doing the happy dance right now.
