No news, a few game impressions (Soul Sacrifice demo among them), and no GOTY BS \u2013 mostly just one, long, leisurely, holiday trip through the history of video games \u2013 PC and console, Japanese and American — as we talk through the career of uber-programmer Gregg Tavares, a man who has worked at just about everywhere (Sony, Sega, Microprose, Virgin Interactive, Cinemaware, Naughty Dog, etc.) and on every system (Commodore 64, Amiga, NES, PC, 3DO, M2, Arcade, PSX, PS2, PSP, etc.) at one point or another, and has the stories to prove it. Happy holidays!<\/p>\n
