In some exciting news, Hello Games first title, Joe Danger, is hitting PlayStation Network on June 8.
I say this is exciting news because Hello Games was nice enough to pass me a preview version of the game a few weeks back, and I’ve been having a grand old time. Unfortunately, I’ve been so snowed under with pre-E3 and E3 preparation that I simply haven’t had a chance to write up my preview. But fear not, tomorrow I will spill the beans, and here’s a minor spoiler: I really like …

You know what happens when you give EVO 4Gs to a room full of some of the brightest developers the world has to offer? Well, [expletive] is going to go down, that’s what — so it comes as little surprise that the phone’s already been blessed with a seemingly functional Froyo port, even though neither the phone nor the operation system have even seen a public release yet. The largest distribution of the EVO so far has come at the hands of Google itself, which provided the Android 2.1- and …

You probably don’t want to write off Toy Story 3 just because it’s a licensed title. We actually had a lot of fun with it and the latest dev diary above shows that Disney and Avalanche are committed to putting out a quality product.

My strong desire to avoid playing MMOs is not something I’ve ever tried to hide. Even if I wanted to get pulled into one of these games, the time honestly isn’t there. You can imagine, then, how I feel when videos about crazy stunts GMs pulled as retaliation against less-than-desirable players make the rounds.
Or, in the case of Guild Wars, a video showcasing AreaNet’s badass banning process; never before have I wanted to play Guild Wars so badly. Cheat, and the God of Death Dhuum will strike you down with …

Activision must be seeing some kind of meaningful return on their Little League World Series Baseball franchise, because they’re continuing to crank out the games. Today, they announced Little League World Series Baseball 2010, due out this July. But whereas the past two games in the franchise released on the Wii, an appropriate home for the kid-friendly game, this year’s installment is coming out on the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 — and there’s no Wii version in sight.
New features include revamped Season and Career modes, but an Activision spokesman …

I don’t know what the point of making a skirt with panels that light up when facing north is, yet I just can’t help but smile while watching the garment’s creator hop and dance around with happiness about the design. More »

Color might still be out of the question — both now and far into the future — but Amazon seems fit to take out some of the Kindle‘s fat. Bloomberg has it on word that the company will debut a thinner version of its e-book reader in August, and the new workout regiment will also enhance its screen sharpness and responsiveness. No word on if this’ll apply to current models or be an entirely different variant, but in addition to no color, we do hear it lacks a touch screen. …
