You People Make Me Freaking Sick

So, who can tell me what this is? If you said “worryingly detailed cardboard model of the Wii”, by God, you’d be right. Yep, DocCPR, best known for doing this crazy shit, is selling “the actual models” he made for the purpose of putting next to literally a hundred household objects.
Over 6 hours of work […]

EA And PSP No Longer Best Friends Forever

Uh oh. Looks like things aren’t quite heading in the right direction for the PSP this year. First, the release of supposed killer-app Loco Roco has heardly set the charts on fire in Europe, though we’ll see how it fares when it hits shelves in the US early next month. Then there’s the question of […]

Spencer Putt Interview Up At GameSetWatch

I talked a little while back about Spencer Putt’s awesome Zelda game for the TI-83+ graphical calculator, and I managed to squeeze a quick little email interview out of him in the past week or so. Obviously, one of the first questions I asked him was: how the hell do you make a Zelda game […]

Dave Perry Is Hanging With Acclaim

When I was growing up, I idolised Dave Perry. Earthworm Jim wasn’t my favourite game - in fact, I only hired it a few times - but I loved what it stood for. As far as I was concerned, the level in Earthworm Jim 2 where you have to catch the puppies on the Giant […]

More From Square Enix

Well, more, but not on the “console”, as it’s being reported everywhere. Incidentally, the weirdest element to this story is the fact that the whole thing was “reported” by the ever hilarious Game Rag way back in May. Funny.
No, the big news right now comes via Insert Credit, who note that the site for Sqaure […]

Square Enix In Hardware Shock

Here’s one for the “severely unexpected” files. In an interview with Nikkei Business Online, Square Enix President Yoichi Wada has talked about the need for the industry to innovate, commenting that if there’s not next gen “titles that differ from traditional games, the industry is in trouble”. Wada helpfully offers no suggestions on what to […]

The New Pokémon Game Is Going To Rule

A little disclaimer here - I’ve always really liked Pokémon. I used to get up at 6am, just so I could sit down and watch the TV show before school.
This was in my final year of high school.
So, yeah, I liked it. I never had the Game Boy games, though, since I was a GameGear […]

Midway’s New Business Plan

You’ve really got to hand it to Midway. Any other company who’d just posted a loss of US$31 million for the quarter, up against revenue of only $25.9 million would probably call it quits. But not Midway! They’re pushing on, and they’ve got a brave new business plan too:
Release crap games for net gen consoles.
It’s […]

Little Mathletics Housekeeping

Looks like I’ve fallen behind in the housekeeping just a little - I was out of town most of last week, and while there were a few articles that hit various sites around the place, a lack of computer access prevented them from poping up here. So let’s fix that:
Firstly there was an interview with […]

Who Wants To Be A Little Mathlete?

It’s recently come to my attention that good sites tend to have more than five posts a week. “Possibly,” I thought. “I should do something about that.”
Short of actually, say, working on the site more often, the best thing I can think of to do is to ask for your help! Yes, it’s the first […]
