Nate and Jason R spend some time talking about current gaming events.
Last week's episode of PixlTalk begins with a lengthy discussion of anything Nate and Jason could think of that has to do with Sony's case against George Hotz.
We’ve seen the fall of rhythm games, what’s the next one to kick the bucket?
It has been roughly six years since rhythm gaming really hit the market with force, thanks in large part to the runaway success of the Guitar Hero series. Before long, plastic guitars were supplemented with plastic drums, and microphones, and the birth of full band rhythm gaming was upon us. Eventually Harmonix landed on the only logical conclusion for such a genre – the ability to play real instruments to real notation within the game. At the point of reaching the plateau, the genre has been given a death sentence. Activision is halting the Hero series and Harmonix has been sold and downsized, needless to say, things are looking pretty grim for the future of rhythm gaming.
We have a number of positions available and not all of them require you to write.
Back in 2008 I had the opportunity to realize a longtime dream of mine - writing and reporting on video games. Nintendo World Report afforded me that opportunity, regardless of the fact that I had no experience writing professionally or performing journalistic tasks at all. As we all know, from there, I went on to establish this website, which covers not just Nintendo, but gaming as a whole. Now with my own site, I'd like to offer the opportunity I once had to a fresh generation of game journalists. Here's the great part: you don't need any experience to be eligible for a position and if you aren't the writing type, we have other positions that might suit you.

A charming platformer that pays homage to its roots.
Sometimes a simple gameplay mechanic can pigeonhole an entire game. Take Tales from Space: About a Blob, for example. Within 30 seconds of the first level, comparisons started pooling in the back of my mind like little gelatinous blobs of reasoning. Is it Katamari Damacy? I mean, you roll around collecting stuff with the goal of making yourself big enough to collect even larger items, so that assumption should be safe, right? But the fact is, About a Blob doesn't just pull its inspiration from one game - it pulls from a lot of them. From Little Big Planet to the old NES version of Strider and every good to decent platformer in between - About a Blob pays homage to its roots.
A short gameplay video for the upcoming DS title.
