There have been a lot of rumors about the code-named new XBOX 720 from Microsoft. I'm going to give you the rumors and some thoughts on each one of them. Read on for more...

You may have remembered Tiny Tower when Matt talked about it in his Budget Gaming Spotlight. Well I guess imitation is the highly form of flattery because Zynga is making a game called "Dream Heights" and it looks surprisingly (or unsurprisingly) just like Nimblebit's Tiny Tower. Read on to see a funny message from Nimblebit to Zynga congratulating them on their new game.
Wondering what game won overall Game of the Year this past year based on Critic and Reader Reviews from several sources? Of course you are. Read on to see the consensus.
WoWInsider recently talked with Marthazon, who is a 70-year-old grandmother, who is the GM of her raiding guild Spartans on the Dalaran server.
The interview does a great job of exploding a lot of the myths about what the definition of a "typical gamer" is. Marthazon has been playing World of Warcraft since 2005, when she was introduced to it by her daughter. Marthazon has a love of fantasy (reading The Lord of the Rings to her children before bed) and WoW was a perfect fit for her. Marthazon's 72-year-old husband also plays, mainly playing the Auction House to help the guild stay wealthy.
I hope that when I'm 70 I am still gaming on the NexusXboxStation9000 or whatever's out in 2040.
More than one reviewer has suggested that this game will be the sleeper hit of 2012. While I believe it may have gotten more than it’s share of exposure to make it a standard sleeper, I believe it will far exceed most individuals expectations. So I guess I disagree and I firmly agree.
As silly as it may seem, Kid Icarus is actually my favorite NES game from back in the day. You can imagine how happy I was when they announced they were making it a 3D Classics title for the 3DS. Not only are they remaking the game in 3D with enhanced visuals, the game will be free if you pre-order Kid Icarus: Uprising for 3DS at select retailers. More to come on which retailers are participating when they are formally announced.
If you live in the UK, you can register 2 select 3DS games before Jan 31st in Club Nintendo and also get the game for free as well (not available to US residents sadly).
I hope Uprising is good... they sure are throwing a lot of free stuff in to get you to buy it (plastic stand, 3D Classics: Kid Icarus).
Two days ago I wrote a summary on pending anti-piracy legislation being brought before Congress. Yesterday many internet sites blacked out in protest and citizens were contacting their representatives to register their disapproval to the legislation.
Several New England politicians who had previously co-sponsored either SOPA or PIPA are now starting to say, via Twitter or their staff, that they now oppose the legislation as currently written, including New Hampshire's Kelly Ayotte and Connecticut's Richard Blumenthal. According to OpenCongress the politicians above are still listed in congressional records as sponsors, but that may change as Congress comes back into session. New Hampshire's Jeanne Shaheen is reconsidering support, according to staff. We recommend continuing pressure on these representatives until their sponsorship is removed from the bill completely.
I wrote yesterday about legislation working its way through Congress that takes a heavy hand in combatting online piracy and could result in censorship of the internet by the US Government. Today has been named as a protest day to educate internet users about the implications of this legislation. As a result, many popular internet sites have blacked out some or all of their content, including Reddit, Google, Wikipedia, Flickr, Mozilla, Wired, Tumblr, Wordpress, and many others (the full list is here.) PIPA/SOPA sponsors have already been backpedaling, so we need to keep up the pressure until this legislation is formally cancelled.
Six armed Gods? Check.
Swords longer than planetary width? Check.
Anger/wrath that makes you grow six arms? Check.
Japanese storyline that defies sense or logic? Check.
I can only assume you are already downloading the demo after reading that. If you have not been swayed then please read on. You will be.
