Talkabouts: Our First iPad Gaming Impressions

Posted on April 7, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

If you’ve been following my Twitter, you know I spent last Saturday morning in a chilly line with other technophiles for Apple’s latest piece of hardware, the iPad. Apple’s iPad has resulted in a flurry of questions about what the actual point of the iPad is, when (or if?) does it become more useful than a laptop or iPhone, how do games perform on the larger touch screen, how much of a dope I am,

Alan Wake Is (Finally) Done, Gets New Developer Diary

Posted on April 7, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The day that gamers everywhere thought would never come has arrived: Alan Wake is done! Remedy announced via Twitter today that their long anticipated thriller-shooter has “passed certification and has officially been completed!” In addition, Remedy has bumped up the European release date to May 14, a week earlier than previously announced. Wake is still scheduled for release in North America on May 18 and Japan on May 27. Clearly, this game has been a long time coming, so it’s no wonder that Remedy popped some bubbly to celebrate Wake ’s completion (I know this becasue they posted some party pictures on their forums to prove it). Remedy also released a new developer diary entitled “Building the Thriller,” which features some brand new gameplay footage and more details about the game’s story and design. (Spoiler: this game looks insane) Alan Wake – Twitter – Games – Video Games – Japan

Asteroids Record Beaten

Posted on April 7, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

It’s a bad week for old-timey game record holders — the long-standing world record in the game Asteroids was destroyed on Monday night. Back in 1982, Scott Safran scored 41,336,440 points in Asteroids , and his record stood until Monday night when Seattle locksmith John McAllister scored 41,338,740 points on the arcade version of the game. It was a squeaker, but enough to the record to change hands. Unlike a three hour Donkey Kong kill-screen game, Asteroids records are all about endurance; it took McAllister 58 bleary-eyed hours to beat the high score, and he did it all without the aid of feathered hair or acid wash jeans. According to McAllister, “The toughest part was this morning at three o’clock, six o’clock and nine o’ clock. Three o’clock I got through pretty well; at 6 o’clock, it was a struggled, and at 9 o’clock I felt like my eyes closed a few times.” The machine McAllister was using was a vintage 1979 Asteroids machine, and it’s amazing enough that it still works. Oh, and because it’s important, McAllister signed his towering high score with the intials

Review: WarioWare D.I.Y.

Posted on April 6, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

My favorite quirk about the WarioWare series is that it takes the average gamer longer to explain one of the series’ crazy microgames than it does to play it. The series, which has always tapped into our collective instincts built upon a lifetime of gaming, brings it all full circle with the latest DS installment, WarioWare D.I.Y. Andrew Pfister played quite a few of the game’s premade levels and sampled many of the user-created microgames for his review. Here’s a choice quote: “Just in the first week after the game’s release, it’s already evident that there are some highly creative people hard at work making games based on their favorite NES games, inside meme-related jokes, or like me, an entire suite of games based on the frustrations of air travel. Let’s hope Nintendo keeps supporting this initiative, highlighting the best of the best, and nurturing America’s aspiring amateur game developers.” I like WarioWare as is, so the information pretty much drives home my desire to pick it up. Are you interested? Read Andrew’s review before you hit the store! Video game – Wario – Nintendo – Games – Do it yourself
