Ha ha Harada Jokes! Sometimes even serious business types make them. Like the time right afterStreet Fighter Vexecutive producer Yoshinoro Ono announcedDhalsim would be in the game, he segued intoTekkenexecutive producer Katsuhiro Harada by saying Harada would be the final launch character. Ha! Get it? Because he’s not going to be. The producers wanted game sites to report on it, so that’s what we’re doing. Maybe somebody out there will be fooled?...

Put on your fanciest robe Everyone’s hiding something inThe Shrouded Isle. As the spiritual advisor to a community of sinners and religious zealots, it’s your job to appoint officials and guide the island’s poor souls towards the awakening of their strange god. There are no easy choices. Appeasing a slumbering god means sacrificing villagers once a season and choosing a victim becomes more of a balancing act of needs and wants than a religious ceremony....

[Editor’s Note: Despite how hard cameraman and tech guy Roy Malcomber tried, we had several technology fails. Apologies for the sound quality and the delay in posting.] A lot of videogame charities exist, but I have never seen anything quite like the UK-based charitySpecial Effect.

The premise is that a snowstorm took the player’s helicopter down and now they’re tasked with surviving the harsh conditions....

We’re not sure why this story is blowing up this week, but since it’s all the rage, we’ll go ahead and report it, too: Rockstar’sGrand Theft Auto: Chinatown Warsfor the Nintendo DS will feature Wi-fi support. The information comes from Rockstar’s officialGTA: Chinatown Warspage which prominently displays the Nintendo Wi-Fi logo, but gives no information as to what they actually will mean. While we’re at it, we might as well report that the game is coming this Winter, it has not yet been rated by the ESRB, and that it’s exclusively for the Nintendo DS....
