Microsoft PR tactics are simple. What better way to distract people away from the fact that you’re getting your ass kicked by Nintendo than by telling everyone how you’re kicking Sony’s ass? It make perfect sense! Before, they let us know how they tooled on Sony on Black Friday, now they’re saying the 360 dominated [...]
The war of opinions concerning DRM has been a daily battle for the denizens of the internet. We here in the trenches have seen many games die because of badly-implemented DRM.

This would bring a smile to any over-the-hill hedgehog’s face. A Kansas boy by the name of Judson King loved Sonic so much that he wanted to have a hedgehog of his very own. Unfortunately for him, Judson’s hometown of Lawrence had a ban on hedgehogs. In a bout of OCD, and unnecessary persistance, Judson [...]

Super Mario Bros. previously held the record at 40 million, but VGChartz is reporting that Wii Sports has reached the 50 million mark.
