I know! You should just have a 5 tier Jell-o cake with some Cool Whip frosting. It's inexpensive and it'll ease the guilt of eating a beautiful cake.

Because it's Playboy? If that's the case, I should tell you that Playboy is often known for good articles, not just in things like politics and culture, but also sometimes for gaming. Hey, at least heterosexual men have it better in that way. You should see the crap in gay men's magazines that are supposed to pass as 'good journalism'.

Phew, no boobies on the page, I can safely read the interview.

I had a school friend whose mother had a subscription to Playboy, she claimed she read it "for the politics". Hehe, it still makes me giggle thinking about it now.

Dude Raider gets 9/10 reviews

Probably just me who care, but...

Mega Man for Wii!

Sort of, maybe.

Kolzig · 11-20-2007, 12:18 PM

That would be quite cool to have a Megaman game on Wii.

It has been a really long time since the last great Megaman game on a Nintendo console. Of course I'm not counting in GBA/DS. Only the big tv consoles.

JKR · 11-20-2007, 12:32 PM

I'd love to see a new Megaman on a console. The Wii could be really interesting for it too. Well, I guess we'll see...

For those in the US, the Discovery Channel is starting a five part series called Rise of the Video Game. It begins tonight.

Lucien21 · 11-26-2007, 02:07 PM

Deus Ex 3 announced.

Hope it follows no1 more than the inferior sequel

RLacey · 11-26-2007, 03:49 PM

I'll wait for ingame footage, personally...

Fop · 11-26-2007, 04:28 PM

Much less of a chance for a proper sequel now than before. That trailer looks promising, although the voiceover is horrible.

Starflux · 11-27-2007, 02:32 AM

I can't take a game seriously if it has such a horrible trailer voiced with fake-trailer-guy-voice. Why do this? It doesn't make your trailer any more impressive. Even the writing is meh apart from the final line that appears in the visuals. I can't stand these lackluster choices for trailers.

JKR · 11-28-2007, 02:27 PM

Well the guy who does the actual trailers costs like $10,000 for 20 minutes or something. Which is probably why they didn't get him. I thought this person did a good job though. Or was it WHAT he said you didn't like?

Starflux · 11-29-2007, 06:18 AM

What I didn't like is the voice in the first place. I don't care who does the 'trailer guy' voice; it sucks! It's completely done to death and an utter bore. Where once it might have been exciting to hear a dark voice say phrases like 'one man... is going to have to fight', today it induces me to not finish watching a trailer. Do something more original. Anything. Just don't use generic phrases and that clichéd voice

Really, after The Comedian spoofed it so succesfully, it's become an utter no-no, unless you're doing it ironically.

Intrepid Homoludens · 11-29-2007, 07:18 PM

Sheesh! Calm down, Flux. Go have a glass of ice water.

The man who does that voice, he has been used over and over and over and over for YEARS. You always hear him in movie trailers and TV announcements. He seriously needs to retire or work on a new voice style or two.

The writing is typical and cliched. We have very, very few original, witty, fresh, and clever writers today, and even far less of them working in the games industry. That's why you're gonna get stuff that you've heard countless times before.

People in the games industry, most of them, NEED TO ****ING GET OUT MORE OFTEN, LOL!
