Juxtapixel. A shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a gamer… Who does not exist. Diogo Ribeiro, a young loner on a crusade, to champion the cause of the innocent and helpless games in a world where gamers operate above good taste…

Fail. The links, then:

• Vincent Proce, ex-Midway, reveals concept artwork for the project that would restart the Mortal Kombat series.
• Matthew “Mr. Wasteland” Burns looks at the “Metroid Prime = Citizen Kane” situation and writes about the process of adolescent self-discovery videogames – and gamers – still need to go through. Short and to the point.
• Modern Warfare 2, a small indie game with no coverage or major publisher backing, has been released. Shocking, I know! Anyway, it’s been making the rounds. Over at Rock Paper Shotgun, Alec Meer discusses its mega launch party and gives a bit of a think about the game. Meanwhile, Kieron looks at a certain level and says it’s bullshit (can’t say I disagree). Lewis Denby over at The Daily Scoundrel and Phil Cameron from Resolution Magazine have a go at the controversy as well. A month after everyone moved on, I also had a bit to say about it.
• Still on the topic of MW2, a moment of genius by EdgyGamer. Activision’s answer is the cherry on top of the cake.
• “This jellyfish was like an alien“.
• Live Action Plants vs. Zombies. No, really.
• Simon Parkin cheated at the game of life and made a backup copy of himself. And congrats, obv.
• Devil’s Tuning Fork. Like Rez, but with a sonar bat and less Kandinsky. Worth a look and a try.
• I love it when a remake comes together. OR DOES IT?
• Sanitarium, an adventure game that more people should’ve played, is now live at Good Old Games. It was the first game ever to had me scurring for a walkthrough on account of the obscure puzzles.
• Quintin Smith has been writing a guide about What Not to Say in games journalism. Here’s part 1, part 2 and part 3.

Or so I heard.
