South of Midnight – Stop Motion Video
South of Midnight is one of the most unique and original Xbox games coming soon. Yesterday, a video promoting the game was released and it was just as unique as the game. Check it out! A stop motion video for South of Midnight was such a neat idea. The game itself seems to use a little bit of stop motion movement and so this unique video is a good way of promoting the game. I listed South of Midnight as…

No, Xbox Isn’t SEGA
There’s a lot to criticize about Microsoft’s multiplatform “Everything is an Xbox” switch. Some are even comparing them to SEGA. Anybody who was there at the time knows it’s about as inaccurate as you can get. The Dreamcast is one of the greatest consoles ever made. It’s exclusives ooze style and cohesion. Whether it’s Shenmue or Sonic Adventure, you can tell it’s a SEGA game, and a Dreamcast game too. But none of that mattered, because the Dreamcast was dead…

Interviewing Niels Mølgård Frederiksen, LEGO Designer
When LEGO creates culturally appropriate LEGO sets for the mass market, I’ve always been curious to know what work goes into making those sets happen. Unlike sets based on LEGO City, or even LEGO Star Wars, sets that are based on specific cultures require just a bit more work, including lots of research to make sure the representation is appropriate.

Xbox’s Gambit is Paying Off – Now What?
Xbox seems to have cracked its latest strategy to release games across multiple platforms. They were the biggest publisher in the world last month, and likely to stay that way until Grand Theft Auto VI comes out. This must be good news for Microsoft. It’s not enough for fans. Since the multi-plat talk started more than a year ago, there has been a question about sustainability and the future of Xbox hardware. On the one hand, Xbox owns two massive…

We Played the GTA 4 Vice City Remake
Modders released a full remake of Vice City in Grand Theft Auto IV. It might just be one of the biggest labours of love in gaming, so of course Rockstar tried to shut it down. Within about 30 seconds of installation, you’ll know why. There’s something amusing about s company as large and respected as Rockstar (or parent coming Take-Two) feeling threatened by a few of their fans. But after showing the project on YouTube, the Vice City NextGen Edition…
