I attended one of Nintendo's 3DS events in London on Saturday evening and had the chance to spend just over an hour playing through several of the handheld's most anticipated games. Unfortuna... more

This isn't going to be a rant about linearity or spectacle over gameplay, or anything like that. Those topics have been covered extensively enough already and at least once by me. I'm quite o... more

Late post, what with Labor Day and PAX and all that, but rest assured, I did play an awful lot of TF2 last week, and made some pretty hefty bank. I'd say that's a good hau... more
