Sex Vs Video Games: Brad Pitt and Megan Fox

In the newest 2BN feature, we're asking you if you'd rather have a one-night stand with Megan Fox (for the guys, or the ladies that like ladies), Brad Pitt (for the gals, or the men into the rougher sex), OR would you rather get a brand spanking new Wii, with a complete complement of new accessories, and any game of your choice? And it's yours to keep, forever, or until you break it by trying to have sex with it.

One night of lust or a few years of pixels?

Game Obituary: RIP Comix Zone's Sketch Turner

March 10, 2009 by Jack Belmont

It would seem Sega is no longer a franchise but more importantly the video game industry has moved on from strictly 2D games. A pity really, since all that is Comix Zone will be lost forever.

Metal Gear Creator Honored; Proves Gamer's Short Attention Span

February 17, 2009 by Micah Bleich

GameSetWatch.com reports that Hideo Kojima will recieve a lifetime achievement award at the Game Developer's Conference in March.

Mr. Kojima is just 45 years old. In most industries that would make him a prodigy, where lifetime achievement awards are generally given to people at the end of their careers who have put together a body of work ranging various formats and concepts.

This once again solidifies the fact that as gamers, we just dont' have any damn patience. Which is ironic, since the game he's so renowned for creating, Metal Gear Solid 4, has the longest freakin' load time in history on the PS3.

Hopefully, they are honoring his lifetime achievements thus far, and this isn't some veiled attempt to shove him out the door, because I believe he has plenty more to come.

Microsoft Proudly Refuses to Stop Investing in Crap

February 9, 2009 by Micah Bleich

SEATTLE - Microsoft will not be sacrificing new game franchises in the face of a poor performing economy, Gamesindustry.biz reports.

Microsoft believes that "The healthy companies will be the ones that have invested sufficiently during that phase that they've got exciting IP and innovative things happening for when that recovery starts to happen."

For those of you that don't speak "Corporate Bullshit", what that means is that Microsoft makes so much money by producing pretty much every electronic device you use at home that it doesn't have to worry about a few piddling millions of dollars they might lose. (Details after the jump.)
