Utah has a bill in play H.B. 353 regarding video game sales and ratings and such.
In an attempt to bring game selling under state control, they are introducing an amendment that says, in effect: If you promise to follow the ESRB guidelines and then you don’t, you are in violation of the truth in advertising [...]

Two more things about MGS
1. No game I have ever played has talked so much about smoking. Further, no game I have ever played has ever had its ‘wait’ screens give advice on how to appropriately dispose of cigarettes

Phenomenal game. Wish I had played one level harder, though.
A few items:
1. The game pays huge tribute to the people who have played the previous ‘chapters’. While you don’t need to know the story before playing this game, it really will help. Luckily, you can download the Metal Gear Solid database for free. Here’s a [...]
I am returned!

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is being listed at EBWorld etc. as shipping 4/01/08.
This is a horrible, horrible lie, as best I can tell. Its going to be sometime this summer, I believe (though I can’t check at the moment thanks to the needlessly restrictive firewall here at work and the serious EM interference [...]
I went out to blockbuster a week ago to rent Devil May Cry 4 and Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.
I haven’t been interested in DMC since the first one. The second was just bad, and the third was way too hard. I also got very tired of how ‘cool’ and ‘edgy’ Dante was in his [...]
