Pokemon Pizza Party
11:20PM Brian Ashcraft | Mmmmmmmmmmmm. Pizza! And not just any pizza, Pokémon pizza! This was ordered tonight for dinner, one regular mayonnaise covered pizza and one Pikachu pizza set. With the meal, we got a special Pokémon plastic divider and Pokémon stickers. Curious to see what the actually pies look like? That after the jump. More »GTAIV Makes California Town “Kurazy”!
11:00PM Brian Ashcraft | People of Stockton, California! Do not play Grand Theft Auto IV! Do not!! It’s turning local residents batty. According to the Stockton Record: “My son Peter was never really aggressive, but once he got into video games, ‘GTA’ being one of them, he started to push, hit, talk back, and just become a different person,” said Stockton parent Greg Within, 46. Stockton’s Mark Wellis, 19, said he was involved in an altercation a week after he purchased “Grand Theft Auto IV.” At the time he noticed that he had become less sensitive to violence. Wellis doesn’t completely blame the game for his violence, but it did affect him. This is the stuff of Pulitzers.

10:40PM Brian Ashcraft | Far Cry was developed by PC developer Crytek. Crytek made Crysis, and that game is very, very pretty. But Crytek isn’t doing Far Cry 2 — Ubisoft is! The photorealism of Crysis must be somewhat intimidating, even for Ubisoft. But the Far Cry 2 developer is going a different direction. Says the game’s art director Alex Amancio: Very early on we knew that we wanted to go a completely different direction. Instead of going for the tropical island and trying to go for hyper realism, we changed the setting. First of all we wanted to have a really, really credible environment, but we didn’t want to replicate anybody’s vacation photos. Probably smart. Who wants to play somebody’s vacation photos anyway?

Spare 15 Minutes For This Red Alert 3 Demo
10:20PM Luke Plunkett | You may think there’s better things you can do with 15 minutes. Tidy your room, for example. Marinate tomorrow night’s steak dinner. Take a slightly-too-long dump while you finish a chapter in that book you’re reading. All good things, but come on, if you can spare the time for those, you can spare the time for a 15-minute walkthrough of Red Alert 3 gameplay. Construction, combat, the works.
