Konami’s press conference has been the best thing ever, but not for the games announced. It’s just been different. However, one game is definitely a stand out:NeverDead.NeverDeadis a brand new IP from Konami and it involves a pretty interesting gameplay mechanic in which you’re able to reassemble your body after having your limbs blown off. Not entirely sure how that is going to work, but, man, it sounds pretty awesome....
It’s that magical time of the year when videogame companies start telling us what exactly they’ll be bringing to E3. Let’s see what Telltale Games is packing, shall we? The big one here is naturallyThe Walking Dead, which has only been briefly talked about so far. I hear those zombies are media shy.

Sony’s new renovated PSP is not only going to be far lighter and thinner, but will also be able to be played on televisions, thus eliminating the need for … well … the PSP. Unless of course you’re in Europe, as it’s become clear that we in the land of fish n’ chips will have to wait, as per usual, for the PSP’s biggest new feature. Naturally, there’s absolutely no reason for this, but Sony will not be providing the cables needed to take advantage of the new feature, and have not given a timeframe in which they will actually bother....

I had thepleasure of playingFezatPAX East, the upcoming perspective-bending2D exploration platformer for XBLA. I also had the opportunity to chat with Mr. Phil Fish, the game’s co-creator. While talking about the ideas that went into buildingFez, Mr. Fish kept dropping references to classic Nintendo titles. His plan was to infuseFezwith the non-linear exploration of the originalZelda, the subtle atmosphere-building environmental details ofSuper Metroid, and a touch ofOcarina of Time‘s highly populated, emotionally evocative world, amongst other things....

Not that Facebook isworried, of course. “Developers should go where they think they can make the most money,” said game partnerships director Sean Ryan. “We don’t spend a lot of time worrying about them, we worry about us....
For some reason, Bethesda seems to believe that Japan might have a sort ofsensitivityto nuclear bombs, and as such, has madesome slight editstoFallout 3ahead of its December Japanese release. The Power of the Atom sidequest and its principal character, Mr. Burke, have been removed, which means you can no longer make a certain detonation and destroy certain things in certain nuclear blasts. It has also been made clear that a weapon’s name has changed, since it was deemed “inappropriate....
It’s time for the once-a-month fanboy video post! It’s mostly what you’d expect — a bunch of stupid kids making videos of themselves, and in one instance breaking some expensive electronics. If anyone knows what drives these people to publicly humiliate themselves like this, please tell me. Hit the jump and prepare to feel bad about humanity. My favorite part about this (and most of these videos) is they make some halfassed attempt to act like they’re being unbiased....
Well, that’s not entirely true. It’s Saturday evening, and I was just looking for an eye-catching title. Sue me.Back in high school, I used to do lots of fantasy sports — my friends and I would do the four major ones (baseball, football, hockey, basketball) all the time. But the problem with being in a fantasy league is that it demands a significant time investment.
