Since mid-July, I’ve been doing a work experience placement at Instock Magazine, a games trade magazine based in London, which is written for retailers and is only avaiable to those on the mailing list. On the first day of my new placement, the editor started sounding me out about what consoles i have, what next-gen [...]

In China, piracy runs so rampant, many stores openly admit they have bootleg DVDs for sale. I don’t think it’s even possible to buy a legitimate DVD there. Games, on the other hand, do appear in authentic form in some locations, but the famous markets in Beijing and Shanghai offer a wide variety of ripped-off [...]

Aluminum/Leather Case: Proporta’s aluminum-lined leather case, with its soft leather cover and open-sided design, looks reminiscent to the leather cases used for PDA and PocketPC covers. This isn’t surprising, considering that Proporta also provides covers for those devices. Still, it’s nice to see a sleeker cover than the ones usually reserved for videogame handhelds. In [...]

While Nintendo hasn’t announced a release date for its next console, the Nintendo Wii, that hasn’t stopped its fans from speculating wildly about when they’ll be able to get their hands on the console. A recent press release from Nintendo even teased fans with the possibility of having the Wii release date secretly hidden within. [...]

I was one of the lucky people to nab a “pearl pink” Nintendo DS last Christmas. Those systems were hard to find, and it was pure happenstance that I got what I did. I don’t even really like the pearl pink color–it’s more of a metallic purple–but I hung onto it because of its rare [...]

Video games consume a lot of my life, I have decided. Though I haven’t even played a game for several days now, I still invest much time into reading about games and writing about games. As such, I frequently peruse the GameFAQ message boards to see how “gamers” are handling certain news. I am always [...]

Nintendo amazed their fans with demonstrations of the Wii and trailers from new games during their press release at E3 on May 9th, 2006. Shigeru Miyamoto started off by conducting an orchestra from Twilight Princess using the revolutionary Wii controller. Soon after his demonstration there was an amazing series of trailers from upcoming games for [...]

I watched all three press conferences (Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft respectively), so I feel justified to say Nintendo’s turned out the best. Seriously, though, Sony’s shows are boring as hell. At least the Xbox team had some energy backing them up. But even Microsoft’s show lacked something necessary: magic. All the great stuff Microsoft is [...]

The NES is known for being able to handle all types of sports games. The 8-bit console can display a lot of sprites at once, even if they generally share the same animation most of the time. A lot of sports are featured on Nintendo’s first console endeavor, and not just American ones either. Football, [...]

Here’s the interview: On IGN: How did you become involved with IGN and the Revolution channel, and how do you feel about that opportunity? [...]
