Gamers PWN the US

Gamers PWN the US

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 2nd of April 2008 - 09:23 PM ]

72% Of U.S. Plays Games, Only 2-3% Own Multiple Consoles If you missed the heading, almost 3/4ths of the country plays games, to some extent at least. Not bad numbers when you look at them. That means there has got to be something to this whole thing right? I'd say so. Gamers are not a minority; we are a majority. And we have the NPD to prove this fact for us all. Oh, and just so ya know as well, this is up from last years survey that had only 64% of the US gaming. Read More...

Going #1 on the Wii...

Going #1 on the Wii...

by Stephanie Naboshek [ Tuesday, 1st of April 2008 - 01:45 PM ]

So I normally don't write two articles in an hour, but I just checked my email, and this was featured in my Thinkgeek.com Newsletter... SUPER Pii Pii brothers is a crazy, imported Japanese game for the Wii that requires you to... well... wee!! Complete loads of mini games by attaching your Wii-mote into the support harness provided and AIM AWAY!! Score extra points by tinkling on cats and other fun creates who pop out of the urinals and lose points for getting too much on the floor. Verse your friends in the fun multi-player mode and if the humiliation wasn't enough, just the mere ability to say you own Super Pii Pii Brothers is worth the $34. Read More...

Violent Game "Journalism"

Violent Game "Journalism"

by Aaron BlueWolf72 Molloy [ Monday, 31st of March 2008 - 03:26 PM ]

Newspaper offers cash for anti-games story on MCV reports a new high-water mark for British journalism, as StarNow.co.uk relates an offer from "a national newspaper" to pay someone who is willing to blame their crimes on video games, with the offer of money sure to make this quite the legit bit of journalism: A national newspaper wants your story and will pay hundreds of pounds to the right person. Write a few lines about how computer games turned you to crime and if it's something we like, we'll call you straight back. Read More...

How to Tell You're Playing a Game with a Female

How to Tell You're Playing a Game with a Female

by Alyssa Porter [ Friday, 28th of March 2008 - 05:20 AM ]

We all know female gamers exist, especially with the recent rise of female voices in the gaming community, but many people I know claim they have never played a game with a female. I say poppycock; they just do not know how to spot a female in game. Here are a couple of ways to possibly sight a female playing.1. The most obvious – Their VoiceOf course the high pitched voice on the other side of your headset that will not shut up is annoying you, so you might immediately think its an immature pre-pubecent boy, but do not be so hasty to make such a conclusion.

Nerd Up Your Cellphone!

Nerd Up Your Cellphone!

by [ Friday, 21st of March 2008 - 10:31 AM ]

Maybe not quite a news article, but I recently got my new motorola razr and instantly knew what I wanted to do: nerdy themes. But I couldn't pick just one aspect of nerdom to apply to my phone! So, I made a few different themes and thought I'd share them with the pwned.com community to use as well. I have no idea how to package themes for download, so below are the images I made/resized for wallpaper and screensaver usage and the links to free mp3 shorts that can be used as ringtones. Enjoy!

Privileges For Those Who...

Privileges For Those Who...

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 20th of March 2008 - 05:50 PM ]

Pre-Register with Squenix Members This is for all you die hard Squenix fans. Looks like they are opening up their Member program in the States next week. On the 24th to be exact. As of right now, they are letting those in the know to register their names and accounts to this service. Kind of to let those fans get first crack at their Usernames and such before it goes fully live. Already snagged up Hades on there if anyone was thinking of sniping it from me. :) There is no full word on what exactly will be coming with the Membership program. Read More...

Mario.

by [ Wednesday, 19th of March 2008 - 09:46 PM ]

Mario. You say the name and almost anyone will instantly associate it with what is arguably the most recognizable character to ever hit the videogame world. The theme song is iconic, his features are undeniable, and slap the name on any product almost guarantees instant success. But how much do we know about the man besides his love for a variety of colourful mushrooms and blondes in dresses (hey, sounds like a great Friday night, yaaaamean?? *wink wink*)? Read More...

Court upholds ban on Minnesota video game law

Court upholds ban on Minnesota video game law

by Aaron BlueWolf72 Molloy [ Tuesday, 18th of March 2008 - 03:04 AM ]

So just to update you Minnesota attempted to get a law passed and it failed. So they thought "hey" lets appeal and well that failed to. The Minnesota law would have imposed up to a $25 fine on minors younger than 17 caught buying or renting video games rated "M" for mature or "AO" for adults-only, under the video game industry's rating system. You would think other states and cities would pay attention to this but "this week, a committee in Massachusetts is planning to consider a bill, endorsed by Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, that would--you guessed it--restrict violent video game sales to minors" source: News.

Hopefully Uwe Boll Doesn't Touch It

Hopefully Uwe Boll Doesn't Touch It

Metal Gear Movie Like the title says, lets try to keep it hush hush from him. We don't need him taking this and turning out crap with it. So far he doesn't score to well with Game movies. But that is not the point of this little snippet of information. It is to talk about a movie that could be pretty F*cking cool. So far it has been just a big bag of rumor, but it looks like the rumor might become total truth. Columbia Pictures looks to actually go through with this whole thing. Read More...
