The language of Smash is universal. If the human race were to make contact with sentient alien life, I can think of no better way to initiate diplomatic relations than sending up a couch, a tiny CRT, and a GameCube with Super Smash Bros. Melee. And yet, for whatever reason, attendance at Smash events is...
Infinity 3.0 brought the series to the Star Wars universe. The toys-to-life market has one less major player today, and unfortunately that also means that hundreds of employees have also lost their jobs. In a blog post made this afternoon, Avalanche Software’s John Blackburn announced that Disney would be discontinuing Disney Infinity in June. Additional...

Respawn has an impressive pedigree to live up to. Electronic Arts isn’t holding back when it comes to their rights to Star Wars games. Battlefront released last holiday season to mixed reviews, Amy Hennig’s project at Visceral is still on the way, Galaxy of Heroes was released to mobile success, and The Old Republic is...

This info comes from an earnings statement released for investors tonight, in which Nintendo has made public some of its...

80 hours a week. That’s the benchmark that Alex St. John, co-creator of DirectX and founder of WildTangent, sets for productive game work in a rancid article in VentureBeat. 80 hours a week, he says. Don’t enter the games industry with a “wage-slave attitude.” Don’t you dare complain about it. Quit if you don’t like...
