I’ve a press release from gamer magazine and collective Thirteen1. It’s for Project Ninja – the only catch being that they’re refusing to say what Project Ninja is. A web comic? Could be. A game? Could be. We know that Project Ninja followss the life and journey of one ninja who has been tasked with […]

The Depiction of Women in Gaming
While the following flow chart is doing the rounds – making people laugh because it’s true, making people think because it’s true – I thought it hightime that Geek Native pointed out the fantastic post by Anna Kreider over at Pelgrane Press’ See Page XX on The Depiction of Women in Gaming.

Christmas comes early to 56 Sage Street
56 Sage Street is a free online game with a twist. In this case the twist is that’s actually provided by a bank. It’s an advergame but, in this instance, they manage to get the balance right. You feel like you’re playing a game rather than taking part in an advert. In 56 Sage Street […]

Perhaps it’s possible to have too much Stormtrooper action? Hmm. Let’s leave it to Robot Chicken to explore this issue. […]

Last night was not only a lunar eclipse for some parts of the world but the longest night. I’ve been told that that’s the first time that’s happened in 400 years. The clever folk at AEG have picked up on this and are using it an excuse to preview some of the art and card […]
Your very own Bad Robot
The folks at Entertainment Earth are collecting pre-orders on an extremely cute Bad Robot with “Slusho” statue. Geeks will recognise this bad robot from the end of certain TV programs. Now, they’re only going to make 1,000 of these bad robots and my hunch is that we’re looking at a sellout. What do you think?
