Trailerpalooza – February 2011
March 6, 2011 | Fisherman 7EDIT: Sorry for the late post, the site went down temporarily and I held off on reposting this so I wouldn’t push everyone’s articles off the front page.
Welcome to Trailerpalooza! This is a new article we’ll be putting up monthly, gathering some of the most interesting trailers of the month that was, for games that are coming down the pipe. Let’s get into it! Click on the logo thumbnails to view the trailers.

I'll be honest, I haven't played the sequel,but I was really impressed with the original. I've heard there's lots of masagonist pandering in this one but hey, if you've got a PSP and need to get one last hurrah out of it before the NGP launches, this may be your kind of game. The Third Birthday is set to be released on March 29 in the USA.

The Era of Indie
February 18, 2011 | Fisherman
Super Meat Boy is challenging, innovative, quirky and creative. Everything an Indie game should be.
What’s your perception of independently developed games? Do visions of weirdly textured first-person shooter mod maps come to mind? Do you think of flash games of dubious quality? Or do you think of games like Braid, Eets, Monday Night Combat, Super Meat Boy, and Limbo? Any of these answers are correct – there is a lot of shovelware that comes from independent studios. But dig deeply enough, and you’ll find some of the best games on any platform. And here’s the beauty part: The best of Indie Gaming is yet to come. We have never, and may never, have a year that was the “Year of the Indie”. But strap in, because we’re entering the Era of Indie.
New Crewbie

Well here I am. After a long tiring swim from the rainy shores of England I have finally made it to Talkingship’s fleet. I may be tired, wet and deprived of any action. I feel I need to introduce to my fellow shipmates. I’m a youngster compared to the majority of you, oldies. As before I made the rather long swim I celebrated my 15th birthday.
Editorial: A Letter to Activision.

Oh Activision, Why have you forsaken me!
Did I not pay enough money to get CoD: Black Ops in my hands in the first place?
Have I not payed enough money for your DLC in your games previous iteration’s?
Will I not fork out enough money for map packs still to come?
Is it because I’m… Australian?
Of all the things I’ve done for you, in buying your product, and playing it more than any other game I own, I have never asked for much in return, except for one tiny, little, itsy bitsy thing…
Editorial: Top 5 New Year Resolutions!
December 20, 2010 | MuttonChop 3Top 5 Gaming Resolutions
As we count down to midnight on New Years Eve, we take the time now to look back on the year that was, and as we stare in wonder at what has come to pass, we look forward to what the future will bring. And as always, the one thing that comes with the dawning of a New Year, is a resolution. You resolve yourself to try something that scares you, resolve to lose weight by exercising more, and resolve to try and get on with your mother-in-law a bit better (on second thought, scratch that last one. She’s probably an evil harpy who has been trying unsuccessfully for years to destroy you).
But lets face it, we’re gamers, and as gamers, we should be setting our sites on more gaming orientated resolutions. Read More
