E3 Showdowns
Chella looks back on E3 2010 to discover the high and low points. Who came away from the show with the best buzz? And what company is poised to strike it big this holiday season?
Kinect Is Here…Deal With It!
One of the biggest announcements at E3 is Microsoft’s Natal changing to Kinect. Todd for one is looking forward to a new way of playing games. And tune in Friday for the big E3 wrap-up podcast show.
Are Games Going Clean?
Games these days seem to be following a not-so-disturbing trend. They’re only using violence and sex to advance their plots, not as a hook to lure in players. Could the industry be growing up?
Games Aren’t Perfect
Despite a few rather comical errors in Red Dead Redemption (the amazing donkey girl, talking dog gunfighters) Todd says the game should still probably earn some perfect review scores.
We’ll Miss You Gary
News that Gary Coleman has died after a long bout with many health problems has saddened all of us here at GiN. He was always a nice guy when we met, and the scene-stealing star of the Postal II game will be missed.
Red Dead’s Success
Despite predictions of gloom and doom, (from some people) Red Dead Redemption has become the best-selling game of the year. And Chella knew it all along, partner.

People expecting to buy Wiiware and Wii DLC better read the fine print first. If your current Wii goes belly up, you will need to re-buy all your purchased content, like Todd did.
Anarchy In The UK
After years of campaigning, it looked like the flailing UK games industry would finally get a taxbreak to help it compete internationally and retain skilled game workers. The problem is, Labor lost the election.
Finally, A Final Fantasy Fanboy?
After months of dread, Todd finally gives Final Fantasy XIII a try. And surprise, he’s having an awesome time with it. Could 13 be his lucky number now?
Rockstar Vs. Pachter
Chella says the people who think a Western game like Red Dead Redemption won’t be popular in Europe probably don’t know the history of the spaghetti western movies.
