Denis Dyack Explains Too Human To Our Penthouse Pets, Part 1

Microsoft will release Denis Dyack’s opus, Too Human, in a couple of weeks. Which makes it a great time to unveil the last segments in our In Bed With The Pets series from GDC 2008. In this video Dyack climbs into bed with the lingerie-clad Heather Vandeven and Jaime Lynn to explain how he decided on using the Norse mythology as a backstory, contemplates the human soul and does an admirable job of using phrases like “upgraded body parts” without breaking eye contact with the ladies. Hit the jump to watch the video. Read the rest of this entry »

Matt Ryan Talks About His NCAA Football 09 Cover, Shows Off Game Face

EA Sports NCAA Football 09 hits shelves tomorrow with former Boston College QB and current Atlanta Falcon Matt Ryan sitting on the cover of the PS3 version. See what Ryan has to say about the game in this video from EA’s NFL Draft Weekend Event at Marquee in New York City. Unfortunately the flick pre-dates the current Brett Favre-gate brouhaha (which raises a few questions around the denial of the Madden Curse’s existence). Don’t miss our previous interviews with Chris «I don’t have a gut» Long, Vernon Gholston, overall number one NFL Draft pick Jake Long and Owen «the runaway beer truck» Schmitt. Each player gave us a preview of the “game face” they plan on throwing the cameras for their first intro on Monday Night Football. These guys need to work on their Blue Steel. See for yourself after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

Introducing Girl On Game: Justine Joli Signs Up As Our Guest Reviewer

Justine Joli has all the necessary credentials for a video game reviewer. She has a brain, thumbs and extra time on her hands. The fact that she has a side gig as a burlesque dancer / pornstar / Penthouse Pet just kind of adds to the spice of it all. Justine first showed up in the Complex Network as a floor correspondent for New York Comic Con. After seeing the kind of grip Joli has pop culture, and the hypnotic power she seems to have over comic geeks, we figured she could handle some light review duties. Now she’s going to handle the occasional handheld game review in her new column, Girl on Game. Check the video above from her photo shoot. (We need to show something other than game screens when she’s doing a review, no?) In our short Q&A she manages to turn the tables on her interviewer, our very own Richard “Treats” Dryden. Stay tuned for her first Girl on Game column and her review of God of War: Chains of Olympus, debuting tomorrow.

Chris Long To EA: “I Don’t Have A Gut.”

Get the latest Flash Player to see this player.

We sat down with former Virginia defensive end, Chris Long, a few days before the NFL Draft at EA’s event in NYC. He didn’t notch any of the covers of NCAA 09 and he had a few minor issues with his virtual representation on the field. Specifically he seemed a little confused over his in-game gut. Getting picked second in the draft by the St. Louis Rams should help deal with any indignity suffered at the hands of EA.

Jake Long, The Dolphins’ $30 Million Dollar Man

Get the latest Flash Player to see this player.

We interviewed Jake Long at EA’s Draft Weekend event, just days before the Dolphins (officially) made the former Michigan offensive lineman the number one pick in the draft and the wealthiest kid to come out of Lapeer East High School. We talked with Long about video games, appearing in NCAA 09 and what he’s going to buy with his $57.75 million dollar contract…ah, fuck it. Writing down that kind of figure makes writing anything else seem insignificant.
