Wait…. BWAHAHAHAHHAAHHA! I fcking hate DLC. Always have. Never taken part in it. I feel like they should put sht in the game if they had the idea for it while they were still making it. Got a good idea after release? Save it for the inevitable sequel. Screw off with nickel-and-diming us with stupid character and level downloads. I don’t want it, and I’m glad to hear that no one else does either....
Jonesing for a bit ofKid Icarus Wiiinformation? Well, you can’t have it.Because it doesn’t exist. Instead, in an interesting bit of post-E3 confluence, here’s a trailer for an upcoming WiiWare title calledIcarian: Kindred Spirits.

The story is about a young warrior angel-girl named Nyx (not to be confused withNight) who is trying to find the body of the legendarily stupid Icarus....
Recently on the Unity forums, fans inquired aboutDevil May Cry 4’slackluster PC sales, and how Capcom felt about it.Christian Svensson respondedthat while he can’t speak for the entire company, he wasn’t exactly pleased about his perceived reasoning behind it all: pirates. I’m not sure about how Capcom in general feels but It’s not doing as well as I would like in the US at retail. It’s such a good version and it really deserves better sales....
You know, it’s funny: given the lack of flying cars, laser guns, or effective, universal health care, I hear many complaints that, for 2008, this doesn’t really feel like “the future.” Maybe they’ve got a point, but they neglect to recognize one thing: wedohave the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. According to the radio show: “…though it cannot hope to be useful or informative on all matters, it does make the reassuring claim that where it is in accurate, it is at leastdefinitivelyinaccurate....

I love me somePrince of Persia, old and new. So you can’t imagine how thrilled I am to find that the Jordan Mechner classic has hit the App Store for both iPhone and iPad. Best part? It’s only 99¢. The game is calledPrince of Persia Retro, and it’s designed for both iPad and iPod Touch/iPhone. What that means is that the game will scale automatically, and adjust the visuals and the on-screen control layout automatically....

It is no lie that when this generation of consoles launched, the first-party audio equipment was sh*t. If it didn’t break quicker than your Xbox 360 could red ring, then the audio quality was poor and it was made for people with oddly-shaped heads. Recently the audio peripheral market has caught fire and console gamers have more audio options than ever. Ranging from the super cheap to the “need to re-mortgage” variety, it’s a market I am becoming obsessed with....
