Twice the fun for thirty times the price.
Gameloft is infamous for borrowing heavily from other popular franchises. Asphalt: Injection is no exception; it steals from other arcade racers like Need For Speed and Burnout. While some familiarity can be a good thing, there is little good in Asphalt: Injection.
What does fan based funding really mean for the industry?
I’d bet dollars to donuts that only a miniscule number of our readers had heard of Kickstarter a couple of months ago. And those that had heard of the crowdsourcing fundraising site could not have possibly known that it would become an important part of an evolving video game industry; that it would throw a wrench into the workings of how things have “always been done” and give the community – the fans – a voice that is not only heard, but heeded as well.

South Park RPG and unnamed next gen title affected
Joystiq has reported that Obsidian Entertainment was struck by layoffs this week, affecting staff across the board. As a result, staff currently developing the South Park RPG were let go, and an unnamed next gen project was canceled.
Fans successfully fund the cult classic's sequel.
UPDATE: In just two short days, the project has been officially backed, easily surpassing the $900,000 goal initially set by inXile.

Submitted for your approval: the story of a man fighting against the darkness.
American Nightmare is a smaller, more action focused entry in the series. The backdrop for Wake’s new tale is far removed from Cauldron Lake in the first game, and instead moves into the desert of Arizona. Wake is on the trail of Mr. Scratch, the darkness-created doppleganger featured in the two DLC episodes for Alan Wake: The Signal and The Writer.
***WARNING: Minutes 5-8 of this podcast contain some MAJOR Mass Effect 3 spoilers!****
Remember last week when I said I didn't care about Mass Effect 3? I was wrong. Controversy has arisen over the game's endings, and said controversy is enough to make me care about the game, at least to a meager extent. If you're inclined to not know anything about the story and/or endings for Mass Effect 3, skip over a few minutes of the podcast, but be sure to listen to the rest! Why? Because there's Dillon's Rolling Western opinions, tons of Kid Icarus: Uprising information, a Club Nintendo update, more controversy with Tekken X Street Fighter and Sonic 4 Episode 2, and more!

What's a puzzle game without the puzzles?
Don't judge a book by its cover – it's a lesson we've all learned before, but one that holds particularly true in the case of Escape Plan. If you've seen Escape Plan before, you may be confused right now – Escape Plan looks great, but looks can be deceiving. Wrought with issues, Escape Plan is at worst frustratingly imprecise and at best, blasé.
This DLC is absolutely not worth $7.99.
Super Stardust Delta is a great game, but one that’s severely lacking options. The Blast Pack is the prescribed remedy for its ailments; however, it’s not an effective dose. Four new modes with limited content just don’t do the trick.
