When we first saw Katamari Damacy at E3 several years ago, nothing the PR reps said could have convinced us that the game was particularly compelling, let alone that its would be so successful that gamers would be clamoring for sequels as well as King of All Cosmos T-shirts. With that history as our guide, when we first heard about de Blob, a game that’s part platformer, part action game and part color-mixing tutorial, we were puzzled but….

Disney’s Magical Blu-ray Tour strolled into DailyGame’s backyard today, giving us the chance to get some hands-on time with the “Car Finder” BD-J interactive feature included on Disney/Pixar’s Cars, which releases November 6. Disney and Panasonic had plenty to show on the Tour, from the Alien Invasion BD-J game on Chicken Little to the Liar’s Dice game on Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, but this was the first chance consumers have had to get their hands on Cars’ BD-J feature….

The Wii is often labeled as the “kiddie console,” but more often than not those claims are nothing more than empty insults thrown by hardcore gamers. It’s ironic, then, that EA Playground is inspired by and features kids — but has a good chance of appealing to both kids and casual gamers alike.

In theory the concept sounds cool; how often have you been at a sporting event and wondered what else was going on around the league? But I wonder…

Last week Kevin Garnett moved to Boston and effectively created a new power seat in the Eastern Conference. But as bookies adjusted the Celtics’ championship odds, and as pundits gushed over the Allen/Garnett/Pierce triumvirate, few people noted the trade’s impact on what, just 24 hours earlier, had been the East’s largest off-season deal: Zach Randolph to New York. If you ever needed proof that karma has a way of…

We started DailyGame more than five years ago, at a time when the videogame industry was drastically different and when our own lives, in fact, were in a completely different place. During the past half decade, the videogame industry has seen plenty of developments, even an entirely new generation of hardware. But outside the industry, back here in the halls of DailyGame, we’ve had a new generation of our own. It’s amazing how dramatically parenthood can change your world. Priorities…
