The NFG/GameSX Wiki
I’ve activated a wiki for GameSX and NFG Games. A wiki, if you don’t know, is a publicly editable page. Wikipedia is based on this concept. In theory, since anyone who can click a mouse can completely erase a page, no one does. There’s no street cred with teh homies for wiping out a page […]

Hiroshi Yamauchi is famous for his tirades against whatever bugbear of the day he selects to take blame for Nintendo’s ills. He bashes competitors, developers and even his customers with equal abandon. In today’s episode he isn’t at all suprised to find the DS is selling very well. I’m sure the complete lack of compelling […]

Sony acknowledges PSP faults.. No, they don’t.
You might remember my recent harsh appraisal of Sony’s PSP. According to a GameSpot article the head of Sony Computer Entertainment, Ken Kutaragi, said only .6% of the PSPs sold have been returned, and that people complaining about the buttons are overreacting to intentional design choices. Which completely dodges the issue of defective units where […]

Two rare things for your enjoy.
