Dec 31, 2007 Congratulations, you survived 2007. Know what that means? Its time to invent a bunch of uninspired goals and ambitions for the coming year so that next year you can hate yourself for not accomplishing any of them. Its an awful tradition that probably shouldnt exist in any form, but this year were changing things. We set down the potent cocktails that we resolved to stop drinking last year and took some time to pen some realistic goals, ones we can really stick to. No, really. Our ...

Dec 28, 2007 Our UK brothers recently posted a guide to knowing when games are taking over your life. We thought wed take that idea one step further. Weve all been there before; some gaming experience wed never share - something so embarrassing we wouldnt disclose to anyone other than our private blogs. For every World of Warcraft wedding you usher on the weekends, theres a copy of Hannah Montana for the DS we had double-bagged at EB Games. Weve compiled a list of reasons that may or may not ...

Dec 26, 2007 Multiplayer shooters have advanced stupendously since the likes of Doom and Quake. Contextual actions, unlockable weapons, team and objective based combat, physics, sprawling maps, class systems and a slew of other complexities have been crammed into modern frag-fests. Nevertheless, there are still a few features and concepts wed like to see perfected before the inevitable next step involving wires poking out of our brain stems. Potentialities like Call of Duty 5, Halo 4, Rainbow ...

Dec 25, 2007 The ability to trade games for other games is a beautiful thing. However, it's also fraught with peril.

We've spent literally months trading games on various services and choosing the best ones to recommend to you. We've scored big a few times, we've gotten burned a few times, and if we ...

25 Dec, 2007 The Christmas gaming charts are a special thing. Not only are they a celebration of the festive season's out-of-control consumerism, but they also show us which of the titles released during the intense pre-Chrimbo gaming avalanche have most successfully grabbed the attention of the masses. After all, it's the one time of the year when financial frivolity is king, when partners, friends and gene-pool sharing associates rush out to purchase the software-based gift that their ...

Dec 20, 2007 Another year, another collection of meaningless awards for games you already knew were good. So, instead of desperately waiting for other people to re-affirm opinions you already had, why not read a whole choking list of awards that celebrate 2007 in a slightly different way? Last year's Potentially Annual Platinum Chalice awards were met with such deafening acclaim (you saw the parade, right?) that we simply had to follow through and make them a grand, yearly tradition like ...

Dec 19, 2007 Heavyweight movie producer Jerry Bruckheimer is teaming up with MTV Games to produce new entertainment properties that will begin life as games. "Video games represent a new and innovative medium for what we've always tried to do, which is to tell great stories. But this medium is unique in that it gives the player control over how those stories unfold," Bruckheimer (reportedly) says. "I look forward to working with MTV Games to create new original game stories, always looking ...
