Check it - they've gone for a whole "back to the past" thing. It's pretty funnily done, with reviews and previews for X-Com, Syndicate, Betrayal at Krondor etc. And the comments tend to be funny as well.

Here's one from Bungie, the new direction of the Halo franchise.

haha you know what, that one might actually be a good idea. Get all these 'brain washed thugs' that we keep being told we are coz we play video games, and teach us to be refined, upstanding citizens via Halo Chess. Chess with rocket launchers, if that won't get kids interested in intelligent strategy games, nothing will!

Don't we already have Star Wars Chess to draw in the popular crowds?

I remember battle chess from the early to mid 90s. That was pretty cool. It was real chess, but the pieces would violently murder one another when you took a piece.

I believe that Battle chess was a lot earlier than that. I recall being a child and that was the only way my dad could get me to sit down at the computer and play chess. I loved it because it reminded me of the game in Star Wars where the pieces would kill each other.
