If Yahtzee ever actually played a game for longer than 10 minutes, took a breath, stopped being a spoken word forum troll, and had to type, it might look something like this.

Pure win.

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 17:02:50 +0000

Well, Commando: Steel Disaster is obviously taking quite a liberal helping of Metal Slug in the gameplay and graphics department, but does this game pilfer music from other titles? I’ll present you with the details below, and you can decide for yourself. First, a video of Commando: Steel Disaster.

Title music = Gundam Wing: Endless Duel for SFC

WTF, Jack? WTF?

“First feeder bands from Hurricane Ike hit Miami!” That is the only explanation GamePolitics got from Jack Thompson about the photo to the right. Strange to say the least. Luckily he followed it up later with a complaint that Hurricane Ike wasn’t gettting enough press coverage. What does this have to do with gaming? Nothing, but we’re the only ones who will listen to him anymore.

Analyst - EA is going to buy Take-Twowere convinced

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 16:53:50 +0000

“We remain convinced that EA will prevail in its bid for Take-Two. Now that EA has received FTC approval for the combination, the company is not under any pressure to keep the negotiations alive. In our view, Take-Two management is interested in completing an acquisition by EA or by another party. We think that management has chosen to pull out all stops to demonstrate the company’s earnings power this year…” - Wedbush Morgan (super) analyst, Michael Pachter

Oh, Michael Pachter…it’s okay to be wrong sometimes! If you just stop talking about it now, we will pretend you ever made those predictions.

Mission Failed: Why I heart Wii Play Tanks!

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 16:43:41 +0000

Wii Play Tanks isn’t only the best game on Wii Play, it’s one of the best on the Wii! I became severely addicted to Wii Play Tanks, as did most of the warehouse. For a long time, we couldn’t stop drudging through the levels. We never did make it to level 100, and we probably never will. I am not even sure why we quit playing the game…perhaps it had something to do with the sense of crushing defeat. Hey Nintendo, when are you going to revamp Wii Play Tanks and release it on WiiWare?!
