If you are a Japanese gamer and were surprised when the Xbox 360 managed to actually "sell out" in Japan earlier this month, there’s now some even more shocking news to report. No, don’t worry, you will still be able to pick up a console relatively shortly should you want one; but you’ll now be [...]

Although she’s not a member of Talking About Games (at least, not yet… she’s joining us the next time she can get to a computer), we managed to corral this dressed up Harley Quinn into having lunch with us.  More than a simple cosplayer, Harley (real name: Cat) is a gamer at heart.  We sit [...]

You’ve seen the box art – both of ‘em. You’ve read the hype, seen the videos and if you’ve been fortunate enough, played it. LittleBigPlanet is on the way, and it’s coming this October. Sony is sure to push this title extremely hard this Fall alongside the likes of Home, Resistance 2 and [probably] MGS4 [...]

Manufacturing errors. They’re an issue that upset everybody. It just so happens that they’re few and far between in the gaming universe, but when they do happen, they’re a huge problem.

Gears 2, Fallout 3, and Ken Levine are discussed, and Finster goes off about Warhammer Online. You can let the gang know how you feel by calling [...]

We admit it, we’re fans of Schadenfreude.  But when we saw Major Nelson at PAX earlier today, getting on stage to take part in a four player dancing minigame for Raving Rabbids TV Party, our video camera came flying out of its holster faster than you could say "Billy the Kid".  We may not be [...]

What’s that, you haven’t heard of anything called "Assembly" in Halo 3? Oh, pfft, my mistake, that’s because it wasn’t called "Assembly" until now. Previosuly codenamed "Purple Reign," Bungie finally debuted the newest multiplayer map for Halo 3 at PAX, just like they promised. It’s…purple. Very purple.
