News Posts by Michael Gray on April 15, 20103

GameCola's application to GDC was rejected this year, but we still decided to send an application to E3. After all, it says on E3's registration page that "Free admission to the exhibit floor is available to qualified industry professionals who register and submit their industry credentials by May 3, 2010." Qualified professionals? That totally includes GameCola, am I right?

Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans (DS)

Reviews by Michael Gray on April 10, 2010

Dragon Ball Z is doing pretty well for a show that ended in 1996. Not only are they still making videogames based off it, but it's also going to be re-aired this year on Nickelodeon. Of course, this w
Love and Hate: Brütal Legend

Blog Posts by Michael Ridgaway on April 9, 20101
