Spore Creature Creator Dropped This Morning

It’s Tuesday, and although I had intended to post this at 6 a.m. this morning, the GameHounds web-posting applicatation decided to be a little bitch overnight and spent those hours virtually puking in the virtual bathroom.
And no, I don’t think it’s pregnant. Maybe it ate a bad clam or something.
Anyway, if you weren’t aware, Spore […]

Fallout 3 Screenshots, We Likey!

It’s a huge title, even if it has managed to send Fallout-series fans into a series of mini-strokes.
At the recent Ubidays, Bethesda debuted a few new screenshots to tantalize those of us who aren’t pissed off that Fallout 3 will be so different from Fallout 1 and 2.

Video Mayhem

We’ve been pretty busy here at GameHounds HQ, so we haven’t had a chance to do regular news posts as frequently as we’d like.
Rather than bore you with a bunch of news items, which we pretty much cover in the new GameHounds Humpdate podcast (you HAVE listened to it, right?!) we’ll just entertain your grey […]

Sessler v Thompson… FINISH HIM!!

No, no new podcast of GameHounds to delight your ears and assault your sensibilties.
However, if you’re dying to hear something weird, pathetic and game-related, feel free to check out a recent National Public Radio’s Talk of the Nation segment about Grand Theft Auto IV.

Today in Gaming News: April 30, 2008

What? There’s something else going on in the gaming industry — I mean other than Grand Theft Auto IV?
Why yes, indeed there is. Granted, if you check all your regular news sites, you’ll notice anything not GTA-related is pretty lightweight by industry standards. No PR department in its right mind would release any big news […]
