There are fans out there that go the extra mile for games and we love them for it. Without their declarations of love for our favourite pastime we might just think the ‘ban this sick filth school of thinking was winning the fight, just by shouting louder. But the extreme fans are out there, fighting the fight for gamers everywhere.
These are the game fans that are proud to stand up for their passion; to declare their love to the world. These fans mark their wallets, their reputations
Industry luminary Warren Spector and action-movie director John Woo are collaborating on a videogame called Ninja Gold, according to Reuters of all places.
It reports that the game is set in modern-day, focusing on a ninja warrior who is "part of a centuries-old legacy and bloodline" and "forced to confront the reality of covert warfare in the modern world."
Spector has explained that Woo kick-started the idea for the game. "He wanted to do something involving traditional ninjas in a
Can you remember when Genesis games were on shop shelves? How about ZX Spectrum? If you were there in line to play Space Invaders in 1978, then kudos to you. But imagine a time before all that. A time (whisper it) before videogames even existed. What did people do? Turns out it wasnt actually so different.

ESA has published the schedule for this year's "down-scaled" E3 in Santa Monica, and it's looking like pretty much the same carnival act we've been used to seeing in previous years.
Microsoft will kick off events with an hour-long conference on July 10 at 8:30pm - perhaps minus The Killers and free-booze if E3 is indeed saving the pennies.
Nintendo will follow the next day with its bash at 9am, followed as always by Sony Computer Entertainment at 11:30am. Electronic Arts, Activision and
Gamers play games, right? You wouldn't think so based on the links you see around the web. We love cute cakes, Katamari caps and gaming graffiti as much as the next Web 2.0 game-hipster, but between the arts and crafts show and the incessant discussions, we're beginning to wonder if anyone actually plays games anymore! Take a look at some of the trends that make us wonder if gamers have veered off
Activision has finally come out with the juicy info we've been waiting for on Guitar Hero III.
The game, on its way to PS2, PS3, Wii and 360, will pack a host of new features including an expanded online multiplayer battle mode, new boss battles and loads of new unlockable content.

Stories of how videogames are corrupting the innocent and tainting childhoods are commonplace. Two such examples presented themselves just last week - a student's cannabis rampage was likened to Xbox 360
Seven new tracks for PS2's forthcoming Guitar Hero: Rocks the 80s have been announced - along with news that we should no longer call the game Guitar Hero: Rocks the 80s. It's been renamed Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s.
There's speculation about the significance of the minor name change, and while you mull that over, check out the list of new tracks below:
"Synchronicity II," The Police
"18 and Life," Skid Row
"Lonely is the Night," Billy Squier
"Shaken," Eddie Money

Surely Sony Computer Entertainment would be mad not to bring its flagship gore-fest God of War to the PlayStation 3 - and if the latest hints are anything to go by, the Santa Monica studio is at least considering it.
"There's definitely the enthusiasm of us wanting to do that, to make the God of War III," series director Cory Barlog told ShackNews, "but there's obviously no commitment to that right now."
Right, so officially they're not working on it but that doesn't stop him offering
