We recently had the opportunity to be interviewed for Gavin’s Underground, a cool Salt Lake City blog that covers all sorts of nifty alternative entertainment–artists, bands, and, as it turns out, even foul-mouthed video game podcasters.

Head on over and give it a read–and leave Gavin a comment, if you please!
Tiger Woods 10 isn’t just a convincing case study for how MotionPlus can, in the hands of a skilled developer, turn Wii games into much more rich and rewarding experiences.

We’ve been wanting to add game reviews to the site for some time now, but we weren’t sure quite how to tackle that task. Our reticence stemmed from the two things that we really hate about reviews:

Cast Medium is in the middle of a multi-part series, wherein they ask some popular podcast hosts to share their personal favorite ‘casts. It’s a pretty nifty little series of interviews, and a nice way to discover some new shows that you may not have stumbled across before.
