When it’s all said and done, WET will meet the standards of any player in search of an experience like no other. However, those that were hoping for a game like no other must continue on their quest.

Some of you may have heard about the Entertainment Consumers Association, and some of you may even be members. But what is the ECA and what are they really about? I spoke with ECA President and Founder Hal Halpin at PAX to get the scoop.

CDV’s physics puzzle game for the DS I Heart Geeks was featured at this weekend’s Penny Arcade Expo. I had the opportunity to check out the game early last year at a CDV press event and was curious to see what has changed since. The answer is: not much except for the artwork, which is [...]
