Deep from the trenches, it’s time for your Monday video feature: Embedded Reporter. Spore’s recent launch has got millions of creatures being created. Here is a small sampling of some creatures made by my friends. My First Spore Creature from djotaku on Vimeo. My Second Spore Creature Part 1 from djotaku on Vimeo.

In what is probably the most interesting news story I’ve seen in a while on Kotaku, it seems that there is a new game called Guitar Praise - Solid Rock that revolves around the Guitar Hero concept, retooled to have a tracklist of entirely Christian music. It’s both a hilarious and good, I suppose, to have such a popular gameplay mechanic ripped off (stolen, if you will) and put in play for God. It’s (religious games) been done before with hilarious result and mocking by the AVGN here and here. ...
Deep from the trenches, it’s time for your Monday video feature: Embedded Reporter. Just a quick little trailer from E3 for a multiplatform game called I Am Alive. The cool, intriguing part of the trailer is that there’s no mention of just what destroyed Chicago and word from Ubisoft is that the game will actually be character development and problem solving oriented.

It seems that one of my favorite PC games from way back when is about to make a return with The Humans: Meet the Ancestors. A Lemmings-style game in which you guide a tribe of cavemen to the goal, trying to have them not die, The Humans provided hours of fun for me back on our junky Packard Bell until we lost the anti-piracy copy card.

Due to some poor life decisions, I find myself stranded for five weeks without any video games. What’s a guy to do, right? Well, rather than just giving you some of the headlines from the week’s video game news in lieu of what I was planning to be gameplay impressions, reviews, and the like, I’ve instead started a five week “All-Stars” feature. Each week we’re going to look at a video game era and spotlight my top three games from that era. Each of these games will also receive a place setting at the prestigious “Table of Honor” feature that I’m working on. Here’s the weekly plan: ...
Yeah, I know I told you that this would be posted last weekend, but things got a little hectic with my travel plans, so I decided to hold off until the day before the big finale for this one. I know you’re all on the edge of your seats waiting for the announcement, so let’s get right to it. The final game of this category comes from a dying genre whose brief golden age drove the development of narrative, graphics, and voice acting. Here are some more clues: ...
