‘Interested’ in another movie I already know John Leguizamo and his inability to smile are handsome. It’s just nice to hear Miyamoto say it. MTV International asked Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi “Ten Ten” Tezuka who would be right for a theoreticalSuper Mario Bros. Moviereboot. “One thing we can say about the original film was that Luigi was very young and handsome in the original movie,” Miyamoto said. “But Mario and Luigi are supposed to be twins....

I have an unhealthy fascination with advergames. Well, advertising in general, but advertising has gotten so boring since we started expecting companies to tell the truth and not try to kill us too blatantly. Advertising games in general aren’t super common anymore, usually relegated to browser or mobile platforms. It’s not that I expect them to be good. Outside ofa few exceptions, they’re usually not. At the very best, they’re inoffensive, but at worst, we haveMr....

Microsoft may have pioneered the “charge gamers for things that should be free” scheme, but none of the other platform holders have taken to the idea.

CEO Satoru Iwata was asked about online pricing during Nintendo’s annual shareholder meeting, where he confirmed that charging a subscription fee would be inappropriate....

He believes consoles lack the horsepower to compete on graphics and that PCs are only going to keep speeding past consoles with better hardware every year....

For a short moment at this year’s Evo in Las Vegas, I was gifted the chance to talk to one of the names that probably defined the early years of the FGC, created its most famous moment that still gets talked about today, and is a player that holds such a high calbire that it cannot be understated how much he has helped define the legacy of not only Evo, but fighting games, as a whole, on the past couple of decades....

5-6 million was the first month expectation — it’s taken a year TheTomb Raiderreboot had series high day one and month one sales,according tostudio head Darrell Gallagher. Despite this,Tomb Raider‘s estimated 3.4 million first month sales were deemed a “slow start” by Square Enix, which said the game hadfailed to meet sales expectations.

Along with the Square Enix-esque naming conventions came a lengthy narrative that spanned multiple games, and it’s coming back in the form of the....

I love a good premium gaming headset because it literally gets your head into gaming audio without the need for a massive sound system. The best of these headsets are a bit expensive, starting about about $100, but they’re far cheaper than a receiver and half a dozen speakers, and also add in chat functionality and sometimes virtual surround sound. These days, when I see a gamer playing a console game with the sound coming through crappy television speakers, I want to smack them in the head with one of these gaming headsets....
