Welcome to the summer doldrums. The season started strong, but as usual, the release quantity is drying up as all the publishers prep for the onslaught of incredible releases this fall. August is still a remarkably strong month, though, and we're excited about the vast majority of its releases. We're deep into the Summer of Arcade on Xbox 360, too, so we've got some sweet downloadable stuff in the near future to accompany the biggest sports game of the year and some RPG geekery...
The MMORPG genre is changing. Free-to-play is taking over, but that doesn't mean the end of the genre--it means a new beginning...
E3 is upon us again, flaunting its wares like a Victorian hussy baring an ankle to titillate the gentlemen of the day. But what if said ankles were bogus? What if they were wooden mock-ups of ankles?

We’re only a few weeks into 2009, and already we’ve seen what is likely the first of many games shoved from their comfortable 2009 release dates into the uncertain depths of 2010. Scarcely six months after confirming Final Fantasy XIII as a multi-platform release, Square Enix announced that its flagship role-playing epic wouldn’t appear until at least next year.
Microsoft's Gamescom press conference happened this morning. We were expecting Lionhead's Peter Molyneux to reveal what his studio is working on and maybe some other Microsoft/Xbox related stuff to be mentioned. We got plenty of the former, but not so much of the latter. Actually we get none of the latter. Turns out this was prety much just a Fable conference. Here's an abridged version of events:
