MADD Is Mad
Now that Grand Theft Auto IV is finally on the market, we can begin to hear outcries from pundits around the country who have not actually played the game. Oh how tasty unadulterated ignorance can be. MADD - the angrily named Mothers Against Drunk Driving - have demanded that GTA IV change its rating to Adults Only. Why? Because you are able to drive drunk in the game.
First of all, it should be noted that driving drunk is a player’s choice. Just like killing cops and prostitutes, it is an act that is allowed but not required to complete the game. Just like people have the choice to drive drunk in real life, a choice that should never be exercised but still exists, gamers have the same choice in a virtual setting. So these mothers are angry that a video game gives people the same choice as real life. Strange.

Can you believe something called The Orange Box was one of the best games released in 2007? Even stranger, if you look past the critically adored Half Life 2 and just below the drool-inducing Team Fortress 2, there is a tiny gem that may offer the single greatest experience in all of gaming last year. Portal is candy flavored art.
Have you ever wondered who would win in a fight between Godzilla and King Kong? Of course not, the giant, agile monkey could run circles around that lumbering lizard. But who would win in a fight between generic knock-offs? That is the question War of the Monsters seeks to answer.
This…this is just great news, right here. The single biggest horror bomb on the face of the earth, Fear Itself, has been delayed.
At this point, I’m really rather confused. The Sarah Connor Chronicles, yet another knee-jerk sci-fi show from Fox that’ll be lucky to last three seasons,
Well, kids…bad news coming out our way from Grudge 3 director Toby Wilkins, who gives us a serious bummer. Apparently, early reports that Judd Nelson and William Devane will be involved in Grudge 3 have been greatly exaggerated. Indeed, they
It may come as a surprise to some of you out there that Cameron Romero, son of legendary zombie horror overlord
Is it possible for a first date to go any worse? After waiting in line for an hour and plopping down a cool $60 to be one of the first to get my hands on the megahit of 2008, I feel obliged to try all this massive game has to offer. So I went on a real date with the very fictional Michelle. I even bought a nice pair of jeans beforehand to make a good impression, American girls seem to put a lot of importance on clothes for some reason. Tight pants was the last of my problems when it was all over, though.
Grabbed by the Ghoulies had little chance to succeed. It’s probably a bad idea to concoct a title for your future game before you think of, oh, story, characters or gameplay ideas. But that’s exactly what Rare did. They giggled at their dirty minds and threw together a game around that idea. And it bombed. Horribly.
