I got the shock of my life earlier today when I searched for Pac-Man on the Internet. The top three results were okay: All about the video game Pac-Man—past, present and future. The succeeding results, however, were, as I said, a shock.
How true is it that our video game hero is slowly being wiped out […]
Gamasutra has been busy speaking to George Broussard of 3D Realms, the studio who will ultimately be held responsible for the long overdue Duke Nukem Forever.
The game has been worked on in various forms for almost 10 years, having been originally announced in April 1997, and the update describes the current state of the title, […]
Did you get the title there? A sonic influence? I know! How clever was that?
Recently reported on 4cr is this really quite crazy tale that child-loving, face-swapping, spinny whizzer Michael Jackson was originally enlisted by Sega to record the soundtrack to Sonic 3. Watch this short video and listen for yourself: (Warning: Video contains music […]
Nintendo Gal posted this on her blog (which you should be reading if you’re not already) earlier today. It’s an advert for a Dutch political party based upon Super Mario Brothers. Not just loosely based on it mind, this thing has the music and sound effects right there in the advert.

We catch up with our intrepid hero and his friends (represented with plush toys which I’m sure were trying to be sold at the same time) aboard a plane. Sonic jumps out of the plane and, get this, impales his head upon a spear.
Really.
The other […]
We all remember that theme music don’t we? It’s one of my most treasured of 8-bit experiences. Bubble Bobble was one of the first games I ever played when I got a NES for Christmas all those years ago, so obviously when I found out that Rising Star games had been tasked with giving the […]
PCWorld.com polled their editors recently to assemble a list of the 50 greatest gadgets of the past 50 years. There are some fair mentions in there, but the list is ruined when you hit number 26.
