Comic-Con 2009: Photo diary (PlayStation 3)

TheGamer — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 06:00:05 +0000

In recent years Comic-Con has become one of the biggest events in the US for anyone who enjoys videogames/comics/movies/anime/science fiction. But actually being there is totally overrated – the crowds, the overpriced hotels, the aromas of the unwashed masses – especially when you can follow all the spectacle and excitement from the comfort of your preferred computer workstation. …

Dumb things your folks say about games (PlayStation 3)

TheGamer — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 06:00:03 +0000

Mums are genetically programmed to stop you doing the things you like. As you get older, perhaps you start to understand their reasoning – even perhaps admitting they’re right. But not when it comes to videogames.

We’re sure you’ve heard these utterances more times that you can remember. So have a listen next time you’re playing and see how many you can hear. Collect the …

The Citizen Kanes of videogames (The Orange Box)

TheGamer — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 00:00:10 +0000

When talking about the idea of videogames as art, it’s become increasingly popular to lament that the medium doesn’t yet have its “Citizen Kane.” Seemingly everyone, from industry luminary Ian Bogost to film director Guillermo del Toro, has sounded off about how games either need, don’t need, or will soon receive the masterpiece that will force the medium to “grow up” and be accepted as an art form by the mainstream. …

QOTW: What superhero game disappointed you the most? (PlayStation 3)

TheGamer — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 00:00:08 +0000

There have been a few really good, and a lot of really, really crappy comic-based games. Given that Comic-con is currently burning up San Diego, we decided to open the floor for some superhero related venting – dig in! …

Nintendo: Banned in the USA (Bionic Commando Rearmed – PS3 Network)

TheGamer — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 09:00:02 +0000

Let’s point fingers! Ever wonder why games are still treated like a child’s medium? Well, part of that responsibility rests on the shoulders of Nintendo of America and the censorship they exhibited during the dominant period of the NES, Game Boy and SNES.

From the medium’s inception, Japan seemed to have no qualms in dealing with themes no heavier than those found in movies and TV, such violence and sexuality. …

10 movie tie-ins that nobody wanted (The Godfather: The Don’s Edition)

TheGamer — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 18:00:02 +0000

Everyone expects certain movies to receive the video game treatment. It’s pretty much law, for example, that all kid films and superhero flicks are converted for the purposes of gaming entertainment. But sometimes a movie tie-in that absolutely nobody was waiting for comes out of nowhere and surprises us all. They’re the games based on the movies that really have no business ever being made into a game. Here are 10 such examples of misfiring …

Thanks for the music? (PlayStation 3)

TheGamer — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 03:00:15 +0000

John Lennon once said that The Beatles were more popular than Jesus. Take a look at the current gaming charts and you could draw the conclusion that music games are now more popular than The Beatles. Obviously, music games themselves aren’t a new phenomenon, but their current popularity, and specifically that of Guitar Hero and Rock Band, certainly is. …
