This is a column I originally published on GGL.com last July. In response to the recent nonsense about videogames being almost as dangerous as smoking, I decided to edit, update, and republish it.
I am a pedant. I care about language and words, and how they are used. Use language with exactitude and precision, and one can convey deeper meaning with fewer words. In other words, eschew obfuscation.
What do the following six situations have in common?
1.) You are playing Grand Theft Auto 3. After […]
Nintendo today revealed that Virtual Console games will be getting an update to give them new Wii-specific functionality. Pokemon Snap, coming to the Japanese Virtual Console Dec. 4, will now include the ability to send pictures to your friends as well as upload them to your Wii message board.
This comes as a surprise because Nintendo had originally been adamant about keeping Virtual Console games identical to their original releases. This gives hope to gamers that perhaps Nintendo will allow for online play in classic games such as […]
Former members of the Ken Levine’s BioShock team parted ways with 2K Boston and created their own studio, still under the 2K brand. The new 2K Marin, located in the Bay Area, is looking to hire a Lead Animator and Character Concept Artist.
This news just raises all sorts of questions. Why part ways with a team that has made one of the year’s best selling, critically acclaimed games? Why stay under the same publishing house? My best guess is that one of the design team is working on BioShock 2 while […]
The fans did not find out whether it is Pandemic or MoB.TurtleForce that is the best WoW 3v3 team in the world. The $45,000 check for first place will have to gather dust until tomorrow, as the final of ESL’s WoW tournament at DreamHack was rescheduled for 14:00 CET Saturday.
If there was one tournament where the big favorites were to be shocked, it was this one. It was organized in to salvage the 2007 WoW Arena season, so abruptly ended by the shutdown of the World Series of Video Games. Blizzard and ESL decided to pick up […]

Two new (to XBLA) titles have been announced for Microsoft’s microtransaction service. The first one is Gripshift, a racing game already available on the PSP and PlayStation Network. Developers Sidhe Interactive claim this to be the “definitive” version of the racer.
According to XBLArcade.com: “The XBLA version will feature 4-player multiplayer, leaderboards, 120 challenge levels, 25 races, and 20 deathmatch arenas.”
The second confirmed title is a personal favorite: Chessmaster is […]

Circling around the rumor mill as of late is an interesting story regarding the firing of Gamespot editor Jeff Gerstmann.
Apparently due to his low review score, a 6.0, on Kane and Lynch: Dead Men for the PlayStation 3and Xbox 360, Eidos Interactive allegedly has threatened to pull their advertising on Gamespots main page, which right now commands a large percentage of the Gamespot’s layout.
While the firing of an employee is most certainly not news worthy, the surrounding issue is what is most […]
The MoB TurtleForce team beat their from MoB TurtlePower in the upper bracket final of ESL’s WoW 3v3 Arena tournament at DreamHack. They are now waiting for whoever comes out of the lower bracket to fight them for $45,000 for first place.
The match attracted a full mini-stadium of people in Hall C of DreamHack and a packed stand near the ESL area. Apparently, World of Warcraft is not as bad a spectator game it is claimed. Perhaps more than in any other country, the title has got mainstream appeal. It is enough to say that the jaw of […]
Sony’s PlayStation 3 sold more units than Nintendo’s Wii in Japan for the first time this month, according to Britain’s The Times.
Sony sold 183,217 PS3s in the island nation in November, against sales of 159,193 for the Wii.
This is bad news for Nintendo, which has seen the Wii sell as many as six times as many units as the PS3 in recent months.
