TGS 09: Alienware is turning Japanese

Just like this fine website and its parent company, high-end gaming PC company Alienware is based in Miami, Florida. We were surprised to hear that our neighbors would also be making the trip to Tokyo, Japan for the 2009 Tokyo Game Show, though. They made a big to-do about some “invasion,” so we made it over to their crash site today to check out what all the hubbub was about....

TGS 09: Hands on with Tales of Graces

Tales of Graces, one of thetwo new Talesgames, certainly looked crisp and pretty when I walked up to the demo station at TGS this morning, and even though my experience with the Tales series is very limited, I did know that this entry in the series is a much-anticipated one for fans of it. Boasting to the longest title in the series to date with up to 70 hours of story and gameplay, it certainly seemed like something worth checking out....

TGS: Sine Mora is the game I’ve been waiting for too long

Looking at images and reading aboutSine Morahas excited me little, as a shmup fan. Western developers don’t understand and respect the classics of the genre enough to make a good one, so I thought Digital Reality were no different. Well, I was wrong. Sine Moraisn’t just good, it’s unbelievably great. It has me,as Maurice put it, foaming at the mouth for its release. Although Maurice’s preview thoroughly covered most aspects of the game, I finally got extensive hands-on time with the Insane difficulty mode – where any shmup shows its true colors....

The history of Duke Nukem goes into 3D

Duke Nukem 3D, that is. The latest promotional video forDuke Nukem Forevercontinues with the second part of a behind-the-scenes retrospective on theDuke Nukemfranchise and deals almost exclusively with the hero’s first foray into the first-person. Lots of great stuff in here, as they talk with folks like Randy Pitchford and voice actor Jon St. John who reminisce about the development and success of the title. Worth a watch, for certain....

The Week in Rock (Band DLC): A few bands that start with ‘the’

As a general rule, I’m not a huge fan of bands with names that start with “the.” Don’t ask me why, but that’s just the way it is. Maybe it’s because it looks stupid when I have to type something like “Among this week’sRock Banddownloadable content is the The Police song, ‘Truth Hits Everybody.'” It just looks silly. So instead, pasted directly fromDyganth’s Cblog(which was pasted directly from theofficial Rock Band forums), here we go:...
