GDC '09: God Of War III Leaked footage

Hey...remember, you didn't hear this from me, but this looks like this could be future crack!  I like the zombie head in front of the camera. He can't quit seem to move any other muscle. Should have gotten a front shot of him drooling on himself.

The DLC Debate: "What Is Fair?"

 

What a crazy age we live in.We live in the age of Twitter and instant updates. Instant gratification is in and of course technology will be the first to harness and cultivate our needs. Though video games may not fall in the category of 'necessity', try convincing gaming companies to the contrary. I am sure avid WoW players and Pockemon collectors also have problems resisting new content as well. Downloadable content is here fellow gamers. As much as it proposes the argument of how strong a foothold games have on our society, it may prove just how far game developers and distributors are willing to go to juice the naive. What is fair?

Free Game: Dont Sh&t Your Pants

I guess I'm the sh#t king! I found all the achievments. So...there's that. Plus, this game is kinda cool. Type 'look' it helps.

Description (Game published on 2009-02-16)

A survival horror game.

Updates


Kongregate stats implemented. Unfortunately that means some save files were lost. Sorry!


For those of you who cannot get the game to run when typing “play”, please refresh the browser. This is a known issue that I’m having trouble duplicating, but a simple refresh fixes it.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Start by clicking next to the tiny arrow on the bottom left corner of the game window.

This is an all typing game. To begin, type “play”. Type instructions such as “open door” to perform different tasks.

If you’re stuck, make sure to “look” at everything you can.

Try to win all the awards and earn the title of Shit King!

Metacritic and Reviews

 

Oh Word?

Two independent articles, but both dealing with serious bidness of gaming. One dealing with Metacritic and who its impact has impacted gaming, game reviews and especially games journalism.

Link

The second article is a rant about users ranting about reviews. Some would say it is a review of a review.

Black History Month: Black Video Game Characters Fail

Awww...Damn

Just read an interesting article about black video game characters over at Edge.  Definitely worth the read and discussion [and yes I do know that 'video game characters' by-and-large are pretty awful].

The Game Review That Set The World On Fire: Killzone 2 Review Review

So Ben Dutka of Playstation Xtreme had a major bone to pick with the '7' out of 10 Killzone 2 got over at Edge magazine. Turns out 8 people read both the Edge review and slightly more read his review of the review. [Cue Xzibit] "Yo dawg...I heard you like over-hyped reviews so I put a review in yo review. So you can bitch while you bitch."

Thank you X-to-the-Z.

The wonderful people of Make Us Of.com have compiled a list of the hardest games and I can [un]happily tell you that these game are awesome at killing your time as well as your soul.

More delights after the jump.
