If a terrible game stopped working at level 30, thereby stranding players in a level limbo, barring them from reaching the remaining 70 levels no matter what they tried, would anybody care? You tell me. In what is surely one of the biggest gaming gaffs ever by a developer, the boss from level 30 of Taito’s Bubble Bobble Revolution calls it in instead of showing up to do battle with the playe...

I love the look on this dude’s face while playing Clubhouse darts. Fantastically British, and one of the many reasons we like our British friends. Big shout out to all Infendo readers from across the pond. Yeah, baby!

The same PSP that was going to reinvent portable gaming and rescue the genre “from ...

With a current average review score of 75 (via MetaCritic), here’s what early Contact reviewers are saying: GameZone – 85%: “Contact has an easy to grasp control scheme, making it simple for anyone to pick up and play. However, the game is still incredibly deep, with tons of customization options for your journey.” Modojo – 60%: “The freshness of the self-refere...

The pre-order demand for the Wii has taken another victim. After GameStops across the U.S. were stripped of their 12+ console allotments by the ravaging mass of Nintendophiles (and a few Infendo readers, I might add), we learned over the weekend that the Nintendo World Store in Mahattan has stopped taking preoders as well. No word yet on how many orders were taken, cuz Nintendo ain’t saying....
