Dec 10, 2007 Console Games, PC Games
FASA, WizKids and 42 Entertainment founder Jordan Weisman has announced, via the website of his newest venture-backed startup Smith & Tinker, that he has licensed the ‘electronic entertainment’ rights to his MechWarrior, Shadowrun and Crimson Skies properties back from Microsoft.
Little is known as to Weisman’s plans as of yet, just that his recent job postings lean toward Web 2.0 and online game expertise. MechWarrior MMO? YES PLEASE!!

Bionic Commando!?!
Oct 20, 2007 Console Games
I MUST HAVE! Bionic Commando on the NES was the first game I ever bought and paid for with my own money, as well as the first one my friends and I finished in it’s entirety. The bionic arm made the gameplay very unique for the time. For the Xbox360 so far, I’d LOVE to see how they could pull this off with the Wii, though.

The Orange Box: HL2++
Oct 17, 2007 PC Games
HL: The Orange Box, coolest game bundle ever? It just might be, if the buzz is to be believed. I know the folks in my circle who have already played it are sold, especially with Portal. TF2 looks like a blast as well. I need this.

Jack Thompson is a colossal tool
Apr 20, 2007 Console Games, PC Games
Jack Thompson blames Bill Gates for the shootings at Virginia Tech. The nutjob shows his ignorance as he attributes Counterstrike to His Gatesness, despite the fact the only MS involvement is the fact that they make the OS it runs on. He mentions Halo along with CS as ‘killing simulators’. It should be noted that no games were found in the search of Cho’s dormroom.
Here’s an article at Ars that gives you a little background, if this is your first time hearing about Thompson.
