The greatest videogame chart you’ll see
I spotted this on Digg this morning. If you were wondering just how much of a case the lunatics like… I dare not say his name… we’ll call him “Jack”… have against video games, a user on Digg has put it in nice chart form. Using data from the US Department of Justice, the chart [...]
Guy calls cops on public videogame auction, gets arrested
Sometimes, justice does exist.
This time it took place a few weeks ago, in front of a GameStop store in Texas about 2 hours before the official midnight launch of Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
ScrewAttack was there, filming a webcast where they attempted to publicly auction their copy of Brawl. They had hoped to raise some [...]

Retro Gamer: A look back at Street Fighter character designs
I’ll admit it. I got sucked into the debate. When EGM first revealed details of Street Fighter IV, the internet was up in arms. People ridiculed the graphics to an incredible and inexcusable extent (after all, the game isn’t nearly completed). They mocked the character design, and put down the art style.

January 2008 Sales Figures: Shortages cause a 3 way tie
January is a rough month for video game sales. After seeing numbers steadily increase for the final 3 months of each year, January’s results look extra low in comparison.
