Report: Ubisoft Working On Xbox 720 Projects For 2012, Major Sony Dev Moving To PS4.
The current generation of consoles is drudging on, and there are more and more signifiers than they are soon to be surpassed. But no!, no screams my wallet. But yes!, yes! screams the graphics whore in me.

Skyrim: It’s Like Crack. With Dragons.
Its 9 am. I wake up, I look around, I get depressed. Something is missing.
Its 11 am. I’m running errands. I go to the supermarket, the drug store, and the bakery. I’m not doing what I should be doing.
Its 1 pm. I’m eating lunch. I stare out the window. Something is wrong.
Its 4 pm. I start thinking about dinner. I’ve already blown off the gym. I need to be somewhere. Where could it be?
Its 7 pm. I’m eating dinner. Its just some mystery meat that I found in the fridge, but fuck it, everything tastes good in a burrito wrap. I don’t feel like myself.
Its 12 pm. I go to bed, dreading waking to another day of feeling like there is a hole in my life. Hopefully tomorrow will hold better tidings. As it stands, November 10th was a dull day.
November 11th started like any other day. I woke up knowing that today was a day of days. What would it hold? Would it be a great day or a terrible day? Whatever the outcome is, the status quo was about to change. For today of all days, Skyrim is released.
I hate doing reviews or write ups of game’s I haven’t completed. Skyrim however is different. I can’t complete it, it completes me.
Can a game be this perfect? Lets take a closer look.
The Xbox Turns 10 Years Old Today. Jesus I’m Getting Old.
The Xbox! I got it, and didn’t use it much. Knights of the Old Republic, and the Halo titles. That was about it. It served up easy ridicule in the form of its garish system and its initial controllers. Yet. Yet…Yet I still love the son of a bitch.
Microsoft Proclaims Cloud Gaming ‘The Distant Future’, Cloud Services Coming To Xbox.
Microsoft’s Brian Prince has spoken, and the words tumbling out of his mouth proclaim Cloud Gaming the distant future. Oh! Intangibility! How I long to pay good money for nothing more than bits and bytes. Bits and bytes that aren’t even loaded onto something I own.
PETA Is Pissed About Mario’s Tanooki Suit. Dios Mio.
PETA must be bored. Or worried that their ridiculous posturing is getting boring. So they’ve come out swinging at the gaming industry. Last week they were like tots worried about being able to kill a rat in Battlefield 3. Now they’re sweating Mario’s Tanooki suit.
This Dude May Be The Star of ‘Grand Theft Auto V’
Ned Luke may be the latest to voice a protagonist in the zillion-dollar cultural juggernaut that is the Grand Theft Auto series. Thanks to intrepid sleuthing by Official PlayStation magazine his potential role was uncovered. All involved in this reveal are either dead or missing, further testifying to the reports accuracy.*
Ken Levine: ‘BioShock Infinite’ Won’t Favor Close-Range Weapons, Or Ayn Rand.
Ken Levine continues to wax awesome about BioShock Infinite and other topics, recently dropping comments on BioShock’s weapons system and thematics.
Miyamoto Interested In 3D Remakes of 2D Zelda Titles. C’mon Now Bro!
Miyamoto isn’t resigned to watching Nintendo’s shitty Nintendo 3D-3DSiL choke on its own 3d excessiveness. Nah! Naw son! He’s going to save it. By bringing to life 3D remakes. Of 2D Zelda games. Wut.
The Rock Handles ‘Modern Warfare 3’, and His Mrs. Solid Bro.
The Rock tweeted this out prior to MW3 dropping, and it amused me. But then I was like, is The Rock displaying courtesy to his Mrs, or by usage of his implication of “domination” being just another HGH-fueled douchebag? Or am I over-intellectualizing? Under-intellectualizing? Something-ulizing?
Review: ‘Modern Warfare 3’. It’ll Bang Your Mom While You Cheer!
Looking at video games like a high school class, we see all the tribes are represented. You have the Jocks, sports games. You have the artsy kids, Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, Okami. You have the music section with Rock band and similar music titles. You have the nerds with their RPGs. And finally we come to the FPS genre. These are like the jock’s jocks. They are the inner circle of meatheads that control their respective flocks. Where does this leave Call of Duty? It’s the captain of the wrestling team; all aggressive and arrogant.
Call of Duty is more than a game. Its an institution. Gamers come in shapes and sizes, and one thing they have in common is an opinion of the greatest selling franchise in history. Love it or hate it, Call of Duty is here, and its here to bang your sister, steal your girlfriend, break up your parents, foreclose on your house and other seemingly douchebag things, and you will thank CoD for it.
