I’m trying to make a big deal out of this so maybe other PS3 developers will take note that people LIKE having the option of using mouse control in games where it makes sense.  TikGames and Creat Studios have announced updates to their first three PSN offerings, but Mahjong Tales will also be receiving (amongst [...]

Welcome to ‘iPhone Games iLike‘, Sarcastic Gamer’s resident iPhone feature, where many a game for the touchy, feely device are discussed in a banterous (if only that was a word) and informative manner.
At first glance, Trace may seem like a fairly standard platformer. There are no power-ups, no fancy effects and definitely no Tanooki suits. [...]

I want to tell you a story about Old Man Nintendo. Old Man Nintendo is a very rich man who loves food.
For a while, Old Man Nintendo ran a chain of restaurants and was adored by one and all for his glorious meals. Whether people needed something they could eat on the go or something [...]

Olivia Munn, give me a minute while I swoon… and we’re back. She’s hot, there’s no denying that. I can’t say that I watch Attack of The Show, or visit her site regularly, her hotness isn’t enough to care what she thinks about gaming. There are some others out there that think that she’s Satan, and [...]

Just about a day ago, Konami began what I’m going to call a rather brave venture, when they announced Six Days In Fallujah, a first-person shooter set during the Second Battle of Fallujah in 2004 in Iraq. Rather than play itself out as a guns-for-glory FPS in the vein of Call of Duty or Medal [...]

The PS2 was supposed to kill the Wii with its In2Games‘ Wii-like peripherals.  After all, the PS2 install base (and price) are far superior to the Wii’s, right?   Motus Games Darwin controller was supposed to give the 360 Wii-like controls and kill the Wii as well as the Gametrak Freedom.  Sony seems to be going [...]

<movie_guy_voice>In a world… where second place is failure…  In a time… with only winning and losing…  In a future… with only black and white…</movie_guy_voice>  Oh, I can’t keep it up…  I already read this week’s PSP2 rumors and had planned to ignore them until I read Doc’s article this morning and his prediction just struck [...]

Earlier in the week, I got invited down to Crowthorne Meat Corp. (who were very pleased to meat me) to look at their latest product: raw mince. There’s been a lot of hype surrounding raw mince, but will it live up to it?
Be prepared to engage in meat-based japery, after the jump.

You see that headline up there?  That’s called sensationalism.  I’ve made it intentionally outlandish to draw you in to gawk at the spectacle.  You may be disappointed though, because what you’ve been drawn into is my attempt to “make it” in main stream journalism.  I’ve had enough of this quasi-hobby enthusiast reporting at SarcasticGamer.com and [...]

It must be tough to be a compensated video game journalist.  It must be incredibly difficult to get out of your “sleep number” bed every morning and slog over to your video game console and turn it on.  Wow, I can’t even imagine the pure will to live it must take to Twitter your every [...]

OnLive, a brand spanking new online gaming platform , was announced at GDC the other day to mass “oohs” and “aahs” from the attending crowd. It looks utterly, utterly revolutionary based on first impressions; after all, on-demand gaming, with no downloads or installs, is hardly small news.
Certainly, it functions perfectly well within the walls of [...]

Sigourney Weaver was who they called when they were looking for a female star for the upcoming Ghostbusters game, scheduled to release on June 16th. Weaver played Dana Barrett in the movies Ghostbusters 1 & 2. She declined the role however, fearing that the game wouldn’t be of “high quality”. Maybe she’s [...]
