Star Wars: The Dead Republic
Terra Nova16 Jan 2012 | 10:41 amHow did we get to the point that an online multiplayer game feels less alive than a single-player sandbox world? Like many of you, the past couple of months have been spent in Skyrim and SWTOR. A decade ago, Elder Scrolls games were large, empty spaces. They had many actionable items but still - the NPCs you encountered were rather quiet and mindless. You were the only person alive. But the genre of open-world RPGs has gradually added more and more life-like elements. Fallout 3 was an eye-opener for me. And now Skyrim, with conversing people, merchants on a budget, reputations. I've…

Kingdoms of Amalur Contains Online Pass
27 Jan 2012 | 9:58 pmDestructoid's Jason Sterling is reporting that EA has managed to sneak in an Online Pass Code into Kingdom of Amalur, and what does it hold for ransom? Quote: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is a single-player game, but that hasn't stopped Electronic Arts from cramming an online pass into the game. We knew the pass was going to hide the game's Mass Effect tie-in armor, but now we know that it's holding seven full quests to ransom, too. Sterling continues in the article that he thinks EA has no faith in this game. Honestly, EA has been doing this for years, it wasn't bound to stop now. What do… -

Glu is the Latest Company to Rip Off 'Tiny Tower'
27 Jan 2012 | 2:29 pmLet's wind the clocks back to Tuesday when news hit that Zynga was relentlessly ripping off NimbleBit's Tiny Tower [Free] with their Canadian pre-release "beta" of Dream Heights [Free]. Dream Heights is basically identical to Tiny Tower in every way, except for the lack of the Bitbook and a different art style. News of this spread like wildfire, and it wasn't long before even the mainstream media was reporting on it. (These are crazy times we live in, I tell you.) Well, Zynga has been silent on the matter as far as we can tell, which you'd think would result in a dead story. Not so fast… -
Man, 'The Other Brothers' Looks Good
27 Jan 2012 | 10:37 amWhat happens when three visionaries get together and tease an awesome game? You get The Other Brothers, which is certainly has the look and style of a next-level iOS joint. On the other hand, you also get almost nothing in the Fine Details Department, and that's a monumental bummer considering the promise on display. I mean, just look at that. The first post on the game's new blog describes The Other Brothers as "a pixelated family fun adventure [game] of running, jumping, collecting, racing against the clock ..." with a suitably mysterious twist. A Kotaku post has some more concept-y type of… -

The package itself has been dubbed "Cranky's Story."

The Binding of Isaac closing in on 450K sales
28 Jan 2012 | 1:00 amEdmund McMillen's The Binding of Isaac, a dark, "Roguelike" exploration of childhood trauma, is close to selling 450,000 copies."It's just ridiculous, there's no reason for this game to have done well. It's nice for everyone involved," McMillen said in an interview with IndieGames."When I started development on Isaac, I wasn't even sure if I should charge for it, because I didn't think people would want it, in all honestly. I had to shop it around to a bunch of different developers, and say like 'Do you think I could sell this?', because I thought it was way too weird, I thought the content… -
The Vita could have been thinner, or huge, or a clamshell
28 Jan 2012 | 12:00 amBy this point, the shiny veneer of newness has worn off of Sony's rapidly approaching Vita and we're all pretty used to how the thing looks. Not everyone has seen it in person yet, granted, but we've all seen it, and its PSP-ish profile and itty-bitty analogue sticks have settled into that comfortable zone of mental familiarity.The device could have been remarkably different, however. For instance, Sony designer Takashi Sogabe (responsible for the Walkman, among other things) had originally intended for the Vita to be a much more svelte device: "The original design of the PS Vita, for… -

So then we prayed to anime Goddess, and on its 100th day, she finally answered and decided to let us find that particular memory card, so we could restore Akicon 2011 photos!

Charity (CALM) named as the official “Street Fighter X Tekken” charity partner in the UK
18 Jan 2012 | 11:53 amCapcom has partnered with the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) for the release of Street Fighter X Tekken in the UK. CALM was set up to reduce the high suicide rate amongst men under 35, currently the single biggest killer of young men in the UK. Men are three times more at risk of suicide than young women – in 2010 75% of suicides were men. Since CALM’s launch in Merseyside in 2000, suicide numbers in young men in the Merseyside area have fallen by a massive 55%, and now having opened an office in London, the charity has expanded its operations UK wide.

Portland Retro Gaming Expo 2011 – Overview
3 Oct 2011 | 4:34 pmMy alarm franticly goes off! “Uhhgggguuhh?” I mumble like a new born zombie. As I look at my clock and turn off the alarm, it reads 8:30 and I think to myself, “Why so early? It’s freaking Saturday. . . Ohh yeah, it’s the Portland Retro Gaming Expo today!” As soon as I realize this, I’m up, running around trying to get ready. LOL, now it’s on like Donkey Kong! I’ve participated in many other gaming conventions before, but never a retro gaming event, so I wasn’t really sure what to expect. As I rode the local Light Rail towards downtown, I… -

27 Jan 2012 | 9:17 pmThe multiplayer beta for Gotham City Impostors is in full effect right now. The beta comes with two game modes called Fumigation and Psych Warfare. In our latest video, we play through a Psych Warfare match and try not to create an embarrassing experience.Psych Warfare is a take on Capture the Flag. The objective is to grab a battery and attach it to your team’s propaganda machine. Once the machine is activated, it starts playing a song that causes the other team to start hallucinating. While your enemies are in this state, they can’t use weapons. This makes them much easier to… -
Resident Evil: Revelations is now $10 cheaper
27 Jan 2012 | 8:50 pmIt turns out Resident Evil: Revelations is going to be cheaper than we expected. Capcom was initially going to sell Resident Evil: Revelations for $49.99 because it came on a larger memory card (4GB) than most 3DS games. Thanks to some maneuvering on Capcom’s part, Resident Evil: Revelations will now cost $39.99.Capcom didn’t say exactly what it did to bring the final cost of RE: Revelations down. It did confirm that the company worked for weeks on a solution that ultimately resulted in more savings for the customer.The $10 price drop is only for the United States. Capcom… -
The 3G Vita just got a little more attractive
27 Jan 2012 | 4:00 pmIt’s going to take some convincing to get most people to purchase the 3G model of the PlayStation Vita. The extra cost coupled with monthly (non-contract) data plans with strict limitations almost makes it not worth it. Something tells me Sony feels the same way. That’s why it’s throwing in some extras to make the 3G Vita more enticing to customers.Sony is throwing in a 250MB AT&T DataConnect Pass and a free PlayStation Network game with pre-orders of the PS Vita First Edition Bundle.If you didn’t pre-order the bundle, Sony will also release a limited edition 3G… -

PS3, PSV versions of Street Fighter x Tekken include Pac-Man, Mega Man
27 Jan 2012 | 2:25 pmMan, that’s the ugliest version of Mega Man ever. Which is fitting, really, since the Street Fighter x Tekken version of Mega Man is based on the horrible NES box art that went with the early Mega Man games. But wait, I’m getting ahead of myself. You probably don’t even know what that picture of grotesque-Mega Man is there!It turns out two characters have joined the Street Fighter x Tekken roster. One is the aforementioned variation of Mega Man. The other is a version of Pac-Man. Both will be playable fighters in the game, so long as you’re playing on the PS3 or…

In Michael Jackson The Experience, you’ll experience the King of Pop’s chart-topping tracks as you draw shapes and tap on both of PS Vita’s multi touch pads to the beat and choreography of the Michael Jackson avatar. You’ll play through 15 HD scenes inspired by Michael Jackson’s… -

One of our goals going into this development cycle was to enhance the trade logic for CPU teams to better mimic their real-life counterparts. In order to do so, we had to examine the current system and identify the faults to then build and improve upon it. This year we are considering more factors in each trade offer, with the end result being more realistic trades. Teams are valuing their rosters much higher this year, and they aren’t going to ship out prospects so… -

Army Corps of Hell Tries Way Too Hard, Which is Why It's Fun
27 Jan 2012 | 5:00 pmWhen I was in junior high school (centuries ago), I always found the metalhead clique at my school intimidating. Rangy boys with long, oily hair and a collective uniform consisting of boots, black-washed jeans, and black T-shirts imprinted with art from album covers by bands whose names bore gratuitous double consonants and lent themselves to harsh, angular logo designs, the metalheads always hung out together at the side of gym class, discussing their heroes' latest wailing guitar concoctions and glowering at the rest of the world. They sported the shifty desperation unique to 14-year-olds… -
Vita's Launch Bundle Makes the 3G System Much More Attractive
27 Jan 2012 | 4:08 pmPlayStation Vita's 3G model may not be for everyone, but thanks to a limited-time bundle Sony announced today it may have just become the best available option for those purchasing the system at launch. Vita comes in two flavors: Wi-Fi-only and 3G. Priced at $250 and $300 respectively, there isn't much sense in paying an extra $50 for the 3G system unless you have some intention of also paying for 3G service at some point in time. The one exception to this before now was the First Edition bundle which includes the 3G system, some extra goodies, and most importantly, a week's head start for… -

Nintendo Gets More Serious About Online With the Nintendo Network
27 Jan 2012 | 11:36 amThe digital and online spaces are two areas where Nintendo hasn't been the most forward-thinking. But after a year where the company struggled to meet expectations, despite an uptick in 3DS sales in 2011's final months, it now seems more serious than ever about providing a more robust online experience. President Satoru Iwata conducted a briefing for investors regarding its Q3 performance in Japan on Friday. For the third quarter in a row, the company was forced to lower its guidance to reflect lower-than-expected sales of Nintendo hardware and software. Noting the initial poor sales of 3DS… -
Retrospective: Final Fantasy IV Remains a Masterpiece After All These Years
27 Jan 2012 | 9:19 amFeature Share it: Tweet Why Final Fantasy IV Remains a Masterpiece After All These Years While time has dulled its innovations, the first 16-bit Final Fantasy made its mark in big ways. By: Jeremy Parish January 27, 2012 Final Fantasy IV has become so ubiquitous, so overly repackaged, so frequently and redundantly remade, that it can be difficult for one to put the game in its proper perspective and remember exactly how big a deal it was 20 years ago. The fourth chapter in the Final Fantasy series was a significant departure from its predecessors -- not to mention the greater role-playing…

Reemus and Liam's quest to save the land hits a massive speed-bump when they discover they can't proceed until they're able to produce a whole lot of paperwork and a sample... but fortunately all that can be acquired in a manner both our heroes are very accustomed to. Namely, solving bizarre problems, combating strange beasts, and deciphering strange puzzles! The latest installment in the wildly popular point-and-click adventure series has finally arrived! -

Sure, later in life he'll have Several Journeys to prove his bravery against invading death slugs. Right now, though, it's early in his adventure gaming career, and even after his first minimal-property-damaging bug slaying, he's have trouble getting people listen to the glorifying ballads written by his faithful bear companion, Liam.

Mass Effect 3 getting Kinect voice command treatment
19 Jan 2012 | 3:44 pmMicrosoft’s Kinect for Xbox 360, it seems, keeps getting bigger and better as developers have more time to play with it. Some believe that the Kinect’s abilities can go far beyond that which was defined by its initial title releases. Bioware, the makers of the Mass Effect series, is no exception to this belief. Adding Kinect voice capabilities, Bioware promises Mass Effect 3 will be their most immersive game yet. On the whole, this seems like a really good move for the franchise. The ability to interact with other characters, not only in conversation, but combat as well will leave… -
Halo Helljumper: The live-action Halo film series
16 Jan 2012 | 4:47 pmIt is probably safe to say that any modern gamer, and some non-gamers, know of the Halo Universe. With several books, an anime series, and seven video game titles (with an eighth on the way,) it is hard for most not to know of the Halo franchise. Many have felt for a long time that the Halo Universe still needed more. Some have even demanded that they see a live action Halo movie. Well, that time has come with Halo Helljumper, a live action series of short films. Halo Helljumper takes place in the year 2552, right at the end of the Covenant Human war. The series is going to be highly based on… -

Throwing players headlong into a Blade Runner-style dystopia, the game then armed them with a pair of zany, chameleon-like weapons. With a a flick of the mouse wheel, your rifle can become a shotgun, and then a grenade launcher. Ditto the other option, a versatile energy weapon that shoots everything from simple plasma bolts to powerful homing missiles. Praised for its beautiful graphics and old-school gameplay, Hard Reset was sure to attract… -
Magicka Celebrates One Year Anniversary
27 Jan 2012 | 7:54 pmIndie game Magicka has reached its one year milestone, with 1.3 million copies sold. I still remember the first time I watched Total Biscuit and the Yogscast play the game repeatedly accidentally kill each other in hilarious ways. Affectionately nicknamed the “mage suicide simulator,” Magicka is one of the most amusing games I’ve seen. To mark the occasion, the developers have cooked up a new Magick that will be free for all players: the Confuse spell. I have no idea what this spell does, but I’m sure it’ll lead to countless friendly-fire incidents. What does the… -

Pac-Man Is NP-Hard
26 Jan 2012 | 5:33 pmMrSeb writes "An Italian researcher with a penchant for retro games — or perhaps just looking for an excuse to play games in the name of science! — has used computational complexity theory to decide, once and for all, just how hard video games are. In a truly epic undertaking, Giovanni Viglietta of the University of Pisa has worked out the theoretical difficulty of 13 old games, including Pac-Man, Doom, Lemmings, Prince of Persia, and Boulder Dash. Pac-Man, with its traversal of space, is NP-hard. Doom, on the other hand, is PSPACE-hard."Read more of this story at Slashdot. -
Xbox 720 Might Reject Used Games
26 Jan 2012 | 12:36 pmsilentbrad writes "Online passes are a recent staple in staving off used sales. Limiting what used buyers can access is a protective measure for publishers, much to the chagrin of parts of the gaming community. Chris Kohler of Wired argues that the death of used games is inevitable, and passes are the first step toward something exactly like a native anti-used game something integrated into consoles. He notes, of course, that digital is the future of buying games, but in the meantime we may be looking at 'an interim period in which the disc as a delivery method is still around but ... becomes… -

Galactic Civilizations II - Dread Lords
21 Jan 2012 | 9:50 amThe return of the turn based space strategy game (for me)! Oh no!! Save me! I remember playing these games in the 90s, and oddly, they have all been pretty much the same game with just new branding/gimmicks, or shiny graphics since. This genre essentially hasn't changed over time, at least to me. Maybe I have been burned out on strategy games, so now I tend to get bored quickly with them. I love strategy games most times, but this genre here.. well it can bore me with its plain un-originality. So I am here, trying to hope for the best, and hide that maybe I am a little.. biased. -
Dead Rising 2: Off the Record
19 Jan 2012 | 12:16 pmZombie games seem to be everywhere this day and age, and I literally do mean everywhere. There is not a place you can turn to that does not in some way, shape or form reference zombies, or has you killing zombies. That is not a bad thing, as most of us have those post-apocalyptic fantasies that have an urge to be taken care of. I would hope that my post-apocalyptic fight would be to that of the Frank West — one of the most awesome guys in the zombie-slaying world. Dead Rising 2: Off the Record takes you away from the original story of Dead Rising 2, and puts you in the shoes of the… -
Resident Evil 4
17 Jan 2012 | 3:41 pmThere’s a reason in the game review community that the phrase “what can be said that hasn’t been said before” is both exceedingly accurate and cliché. Certain games reviewed are so popular that the same themes are reiterated in almost the same voice and phrases. So it brings up the point: Why review an over-reviewed game? Keep that in mind as we retread one of the most popular games of the last decade: Resident Evil 4.

However, the disc integration could be far less impactful to the next generation of game consoles.“I’ve heard from one reliable industry source that Microsoft intends to incorporate some sort of anti-used game system as part of their so-called Xbox 720,” reports Kotaku editor Stephen Totilo. “My source wasn’t… -

Have a very classy Aliens: Colonial Marines trailer
27 Jan 2012 | 3:00 pmSEGA has released a new trailer for Aliens: Colonial Marines. It's exclusive to IGN, but you can view their Youtube version of the video just above. There's no gameplay footage, which I'd really like more of at this stage, but the trailer is nonetheless very cool. The Xenomorph fanboy in me loves the way it's been set up, so I can't complain too much. Still, next time let's see more of the game in action. I'm desperate to see how it's looking now. Colonial Marines is scheduled for Fall 2012. -

Jailhouse Jack – iPhone & iPad

Additionally I admire that all their titles have the same look and feel and have a particular formula to the way they’re played. So how is it different? In Jailhouse Jack you are on a movie set complete with a Director and crew, you are Jack escaping from jail and the goal is to gather all the keys on any level in… -
Kingdom Rush – iPad

So when I discovered Ironhide Game Studio’s Kingdom Rush on the App Store over the holidays, I hit that Insta-buy button faster than it took to charge my credit card. Kingdom Rush is easily in the top-5 list of best TD games on iOS devices, except it adds a smooth RTS element which I quite like – similar to Tiny Heroes. Throughout the game you’re entertained with amusing characters, voiceover and animations that remind me of the artwork found in Battleheart or… -
Review: Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception (PS3)
6 Nov 2011 | 8:58 pmOne of the most anticipated games of the year has finally hit, and that game is Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception. Not only is Uncharted 3 one of the most anticipated games of the year, it is also the sequel to 2009′s award winning Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. So needless to say, this game has alot to live up to, but does it? Some sequels try and reinvent a series, others try to add more features than the previous, Uncharted 3 does the former. It takes everything from the previous two games and mashes it all into a pulse pounding conclusion to Drakes story (more on that later). It once… -
Review: Dragon Ball Z – Ultimate Tenkaichi (PS3)
28 Oct 2011 | 12:44 pmI really liked last year’s DBZ game, Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit 2. It felt like the franchise had finally achieved some serious attention with a game that was both deep and fun. This year, we get Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi, which feels like they took Burst Limit 2 out back and tried to killed it. It’s not all grim. The character models look better, and there’s a different take on combat that is actually novel (but limited, more on that later)… but any good feelings are stomped by the game’s outlandish insistence on loading screen after loading screen after…

News Post: Amalur
27 Jan 2012 | 11:12 amGabe: Once again I was able to beg an early copy of a game. This time I scored Kingdoms of Amalur. I’ve been playing it now for a few days and I am in love. I’m probably not supposed to talk about the game yet but I figured it would be much easier to ask for forgiveness rather than permission as the old saying goes. I’m not incredibly far in the game and I don’t want to spoil anything but I do want to give my impressions. Yesterday on Twitter I said I thought it was better than Skyrim and I -
News Post: Boxinalia
27 Jan 2012 | 1:01 amTycho: There are many games where box breaking is core to the experience, a cultural practice, a folkway, and this happens in Kingdoms of Amalur as well. Games are developing more robust approaches to assessing your moral coordinate with precision, but they’re still several long miles from basic etiquette. I’m sure they’ve already printed the cases for it, which is too bad, because it would be fun to have the cover say something like AMALUR? MORE LIKE AM-ALURRING hoooooo - TYCHO BRAHE, PENNY ARCADE You guys can have that, if you want. That’s a… -

News Post: Star Wars crap
25 Jan 2012 | 11:43 amGabe: After playing so much SW:TOR and really enjoying it I decided to try a Star Wars book. I had given up them a while back after a series of extremely bad books. I ended up grabbing Darth Plagueis. If it had just been incredibly boring I might have stuck it out but it was also stupid. I was listening to an especially lame chapter when the narrator started talking about ancient Sith lords and their lost techniques. One such lord was a sort of ancient necromancer and his name was Darth Andeddu. I don’t care what stupid space way you

Sony US announces Vita 3G memory card bundle
27 Jan 2012 | 3:33 pmQuick-off-the-mark US gamers can snap up a limited edition Vita 3G memory card bundle when the system launches next month, Sony has announced. As detailed on the PlayStation Blog, for the standard Vita 3G RRP of $299, you'll get an 8GB memory card, an AT&T DataConnect Pass and an as yet unspecified PlayStation Network title. A standalone 8GB card retails for $29.99 in the US. Add in the other gumph and Sony reckons you're saving over $55. Bearing in mind the non-3G system sells for $249 and a memory card is mandatory to play most titles, that's a reasonable deal. Read more… -
Quarrel XBLA exposes baffling Microsoft word filter
27 Jan 2012 | 2:09 pmWell-received strategic wordplay game Quarrel has exposed a curious mandatory word filter imposed on developers by Microsoft. As detailed by Edge, players have taken to the game's forums following its Xbox Live Arcade release earlier this week to complain of having seemingly innocuous words turned down. Though ridiculously conservative, one can hazard a guess why Microsoft might not want the likes of "balls" and "shaft" being thrown around Xbox Live. However, the game is also refusing "help", "train", "start", "dice", "god" and various others seemingly innocent examples. Read more… -
The Binding of Isaac: Unholy Edition gets retail release
27 Jan 2012 | 12:35 pmAcclaimed PC indie oddity The Binding of Isaac gets a full retail release in the UK on 16th March, courtesy of publisher Merge Games. Dubbed the Unholy Edition, it includes a DRM-free version of the game, a free Steam gifting key, the game's soundtrack, a (distinctly horrifying) poster and a 40 page "devzine".

Laptops with built-in Kinect sensors coming - report
27 Jan 2012 | 12:06 pmPC manufacturer Asus is reportedly collaborating with Microsoft on a new laptop featuring a built-in Kinect sensor. Following news earlier this month that Microsoft is readying a PC Kinect SKU, The Daily claims to have seen prototypes of Windows 8-enabled Asus netbooks sporting a number of small sensors lined up above the screen. Its source at Microsoft allegedly confirmed that said laptops did indeed feature Kinect functionality built in. Read more… -
Apple "outraged" by New York Times Foxconn report

The message, which found its way to 9to5Mac, rejects claims that Apple is sweeping employee mistreatment issues under the rug. "We care about every worker in our worldwide supply chain," it read.

Orbitron: Revolution To Encircle The PC
28 Jan 2012 | 3:58 amBlue notes that Firebase’s exquisite scrolling shooter Orbitron: Revolution is making its way to the PC system for explosions and fun times. There’s no date yet, but the devs boasts that they have the PC version running at 60fps at 1920×1080. That is moderately fast! Like an elite frame-rate making game thing, or something. What? It is early on Saturday. Look: Orbitron: Revolution, which has already appeared on the console boxes for some reason, is a very pretty curved Defender/Uridium sort of thing going on. Those are things we like. -

Female babysitters having sex with teenaged males
28 Jan 2012 | 11:47 amI'll be honest. I'd have loved for an older woman to have been willing to have sex with me at 14. But I still recognize how disgusting an abuse that is. She is an adult, he a minor - that alone is reason enough for her not to have abused the inherent imbalance of power in their relationship. That she was supposed to be babysitting him is even worse.

Awesome paper on games math
27 Jan 2012 | 10:21 amGiovanni Viglietta of the University of Pisa has posted up a paper called “Gaming is a hard job, but someone has to do it!”. In it, he not only analyzes a variety games to determine their complexity class, but he also arrives at a few metatheorems that are generically applicable for all game design. In other words, “include these features and your game gains fun.”Remember, according to the Theory of Fun, pattern mastery and learning is why the brain plays games. And if you recall my presentation on Games Are Math, I made the case that entire classes of… -
Narrative isn’t usually content either
26 Jan 2012 | 9:00 amWhen I said that narrative was not a game mechanic, but rather a form of feedback, I was getting at the core point that chunks of story are generally doled out as a reward for accomplishing a particular task. And games fundamentally, are about completing tasks — reaching for goals, be they self-imposed (as in all the forms of free-form play or paideia, as Caillois put it in Man, Play and Games) or authorially imposed (or ludus). They are about problem-solving in the sense that hey are about cognitively mastering models of varying complexity.Some replies used the word… -

It’s gonna take you four days to make it fun.You can refine darts, get it fun.

An atomic theory of fun game design
24 Jan 2012 | 9:12 amThis is the original essay in which I worked out the basics of my game grammar approach. It later became a GDC talk. This essay was written in 2004, and the genesis of it was working through issues with the crafting system in Everquest II with Rod Humble. This essay no longer represents my current understanding of game grammar, but it’s a decent start. This essay has never been publicly posted (it was originally posted only to a private game developer forum, on June 26th of 2004), but I thought I should make it available both for historical interest and also for the sake of clarifying…

My Cup Runneth Over
27 Jan 2012 | 10:55 amHoly hellions, Batman, 2012 is off with a bang. Too bad about SWTOR and the LEGO Universe, but Guild Wars 2 might actually ship this year, and there are some other exciting things brewing. Tera Online might emerge unscathed from its legal machinations and make its promised launch date of May 2012. Blizzard is making a 'casual' MMO (with product placements)... But here's what I'm waiting for... The Secret World (April 2012) - This one is exciting even among the 'I'm not an MMO person' crowd. To me, it's like the game I've been waiting for. -
Minecraft and Intellectual Property
17 Jan 2012 | 8:51 amGamasutra just posted a rather longish essay of mine about Minecraft and what's wrong today with the intersection of games and intellectual property law. Here's the link. In some ways, I think I'm echoing Ted's criticisms of the new Star Wars MMORPG in the last post . In short: the more games become like movies, the less interesting they become. On the other hand, the more games let us express ourselves artistically and socially, the more interesting they become. One significiant problem, as I see it, is that the current trajectory that intellectual property law… -
Star Wars: The Dead Republic
16 Jan 2012 | 10:41 amHow did we get to the point that an online multiplayer game feels less alive than a single-player sandbox world? Like many of you, the past couple of months have been spent in Skyrim and SWTOR. A decade ago, Elder Scrolls games were large, empty spaces. They had many actionable items but still - the NPCs you encountered were rather quiet and mindless. You were the only person alive. But the genre of open-world RPGs has gradually added more and more life-like elements. Fallout 3 was an eye-opener for me. And now Skyrim, with conversing people, merchants on a budget, reputations. I've… -

I'd like to take this opportunity and tell the world: No. I don't consider it essential at this point… -

I’m yet to see a break down of the stats from Star Wars The Old Republic (SWTOR) but I’m guessing the physical : virtual is going to break new ground. Back on ’04 I was musing about the impact of virtual gifts on xmas – I still do, how many of you bought someone a dead-tree-book rather than a kindle edition so you could give someone an object (do they sell some kind of token you can give, like a card with a code on…

They want to enter another universe via different platforms: mobile, Internet, books, comics, television, radio, and real-life events.

Hide & Seek's 10-11-12: "Ten games from 2011 that tell you all about 2012"
17 Jan 2012 | 4:42 amIt's free, it's a briefing, and it's ten games from last year that show what's unfolding for this year (and beyond). The general message is: fragmentation. Opportunity everywhere, and always up against big people with big money (though that doesn't have to spell disaster). How do you get noticed in that world, especially if you're not a giant brand with deep pockets? Even LEGO felt it had to spend $40m to market its new line of girl-oriented Friends products... Getting attention is hard. These themes point the way where there's still a chance to be first, or superniche, or surprising. Good… -

Rumor: WH40K MMO Cancelled, THQ Prepares For Liquidation Sale
15 Jan 2012 | 3:31 pmNothing more than rumor at this point.

Quarter to Three is a forum I have posted on quite often over the past decade (yes, that long). It’s a forum loosely based on gaming with a literate group of followers, founded by two fairly clueful gaming writers, Mark Asher and Tom Chick. Mark eventually drifted away and Tom took over full time. There was the usual drama, as often goes with such things. Earlier this year Tom had clearly had enough and turned the forum essentially unmoderated. A lot of previously unbanned users came… -
My Utterly Predictable Top Ten Games Of 2011 List
29 Dec 2011 | 3:24 pm10: Catherine Catherine was a game whose core gameplay was awful (essentially a very twiddly platform game). And you didn’t care because the game itself was so compelling. Japan is a society that takes adult games seriously (and by that I mean games with mature themes, not Jenna Jameson Modern Warfare 4) and thus we get games like Catherine, which start as a rumination on love and regret and veers into very weird places. Pity about the actual gameplay! 9: Fallout: New Vegas Fallout 3 was very awesome – as someone who lived in the DC area for a few years it was pretty nifty… -
My Life With The Jedi Kill Kult
20 Dec 2011 | 12:24 pmIt was on an unnamed battle station, set up by Republic spies, where I fell from grace. You see, up until that point, I had seen myself as an honorable man. Of course there was chaos and atrocity all around, but this was war, and war can be harsh. But I had a code of honor, and the knowledge that although many judge our Empire harshly, I fought for stability and order. But the dark side… it was so seductive. It beckoned with the siren lure of shortcuts and the red haze of murder and power. I was strong, though, and could resist, and was even developing a reputation as an honorable Sith,…

Nintendo Network Confirmed For Wii U and 3DS!
27 Jan 2012 | 2:40 pmNintendo Wii's friend code approach to online multiplayer in games like Mario Kart has been a huge let down.

"Unlike Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, which has been focused upon specific functionalities and concepts, we are aiming to establish a platform where various services… -

Free Video Game Perk "Really Happening" Says Tsilon.ca Founder
26 Jan 2012 | 4:52 pmBy Paul Hunter"Are you on the list?" That's the question that was posed to me in an image that appeared in my inbox at 2:30am today. Preceding this question was a very direct message intended "for any naysayers who doubt the offer is coming", says Tsilon.ca founder Mister C. The offer in question is one I posted on Sunday, detailing the free video game perk to every active G-List member that is supposed to be appearing on the Canadian ARG-style website www.tsilon.ca around mid-February.The image includes a website address, http://bit.ly/ThisIsReallyHappening, which redirect back to the… -
Next G-List Perk Is $99 Nintendo 3DS
23 Jan 2012 | 10:52 pmBy Paul Hunter$249.99? That price is so last year. It looks like the next G-List Hardware perk is about to go live in a week's time and it's a Nintendo 3DS for $99. How do they do this? I have no idea, and it's futile to wonder anyway. I mean, I've been asking the "Misters" for several weeks how they're getting such great deals. The answer I got back? "Some organizations have been very generous to our cause". Umm, sure. So long as these organizations are giving out Groupon-esque video game perks I won't ask any questions. Well no, that's a lie. I'll ask questions and undoubtedly get a cryptic… -

After visiting www.tsilon.ca and joining the G-List, I discovered a "Mister J" was a community member.

17 Jan 2012 | 5:37 pmBy Max Cole Listen up G-List Members. The mysterious "Mister E" sent me an email today announcing the newest perk, apparently in honour of my birthday -- what a nice guy.

Ani-Gamers Welcomes David Estrella to Our Staff

Otakon 2011: "The Fine Print on the Contract" – A Madoka Magica Panel

One of the last panels of the Otakon weekend was the grandly named "The Fine Print on the Contract: the Themes, Philosophies, and Birth of a Legacy in Puella Magi Madoka Magica." I must admit to being fan of the series itself I was curious to see if such an ambitiously named panel could live up to my expectations. The panel was aimed squarely at people who had already seen the balance of the show and it pulled a very respectable crowd into its mid-sized…

28 Jan 2012 | 12:25 amby: Sean ColleliNEWS - This week's Steam Weekend Deal puts SPAZ: Space Pirates And Zombies at 60% off, or $3.99. SPAZ is an indie title that mixes the elements of the 4X space sim genre--resource collection, exploration, fleet building--with the gameplay of classic arcade shooters like Asteroids and Geometry Wars. All of this is wrapped in modern graphics and physics. The game has gotten some very positive reviews, and at a discount price it certainly warrants the attention of 4X and arcade shooter fans alike. -
Aliens Colonial Marines: Contact Trailer
27 Jan 2012 | 8:28 pmby: Sean ColleliNEWS - Hey guys! Gearbox wants to remind you all that yes, Aliens: Colonial Marines is still coming out! It's been a long hard road for this game and it has yet again been pushed back, this time to fall 2012. Jeeze, how much longer do I have to wait Gearbox? 14 years? Kidding, kidding! Sure the delay will probably position the game as a launch title for Wii U, which will be interesting, but I can't help thinking that this is somehow all Duke Nukem's fault. And hey, what is the music from awesome indie scifi film Moon doing in this trailer? Click here to view the… -

Capcom slashes Resident Evil Revelations to $39.99
27 Jan 2012 | 8:14 pmby: Sean ColleliNEWS - Wait, Resident Evil Revelations isn't even out in America yet, right? That hasn't stopped Capcom from knocking 10 bucks off the MSRP, which has just gone from an eyebrow-raising $49.99 to the standard 3DS price of $39.99. Apparently fans were vocal enough about not buying Capcom's excuse that the original $50 was because the big 4GB card they were printing the game on was too expensive. In any case this at least gives you an extra Hamilton to put toward a Circle Pad pro. In my personal opinion $40 still is too much for portable games anymore, especially with…

Nintendo Wii U coming 2012, complete with online gaming and NFC controllers
27 Jan 2012 | 3:33 amNinty confirms all We've Nintendo Wii U news aplenty following bossman Satoru Iwata's comments following the latest earnings call by the Japanese gaming giant. First up is confirmation of what we all kind of knew already - that the next-generation console is going to land before 2012 is up. Iwata said that it will be released in the US, Europe, Australia, and Japan "for the year-end season". We think that's a Lost in Translation way of saying "in time for Christmas". Next up is the news that Nintendo is ready to ditch the pain-in-the-bum friends code process for online gaming and open up a… -

To satisfy that need, we are working to extend a few of our Xbox experiences and titles to other platforms." Other platforms? We think we can probably rule out…

New Halo Webseries Debuts: How is the First Episode?
27 Jan 2012 | 6:46 pmPremiering yesterday, Halo: Helljumper started off as any other typical web series would: a setup to how the series would run. Helljumper literally jettisoned directly to success, regardless of some audio engineering issues. To be honest, this won’t be the last episode that I’ll be watching, as SuperFastHD has me subbed. Halo: Helljumper Official Trailer When I first watched the trailer for the series about two months ago, I was skeptical because of a few visual aspects that weren’t completely polished to the standards of web series that use special effects. Honestly, it… -

Variety trailer shows off all there is to do in Final Fantasy XIII-2
25 Jan 2012 | 11:58 amThe latest gameplay trailer for Final Fantasy XIII-2 showcases some of the other things you can do aside from the main storyline campaign. Final Fantasy XIII was criticized for being too linear and having not a lot of variety in its gameplay. XIII-2 aims to drastically change that with a variety of rewarding side quests, puzzle sections, and Captain Cryptic's "Confounding Quiz." Will it be enough to keep players interested, though?

Maestro! Green Groove Review: Classical Rhythm Gaming
30 Jul 2010 | 8:17 pmNowadays, music games come in all shapes and sizes, but there was a time when they didn’t. Some games attempted to incorporate music as an element of their gameplay mechanics instead of making it the focus of the game. While most never really reached any astounding level of commercial success, some impressed critics while others improved on the missteps of their predecessors. The latest DSiWare game from Neko Entertainment, “Maestro! Green Groove,” reminds me of those early music games that invented new ways for players to interact with notes, blending platforming and rhythm… -
Blacklight: Tango Down Review: Doing Your Duty
21 Jul 2010 | 9:32 pmIt isn’t uncommon in the game industry to mimic other game’s successes. For example, when “Street Fighter 2″ was released in the arcade, many companies jumped into the fighting genre bandwagon in hopes to mimic that game’s success. “Blacklight: Tango Down” follows this concept by using the “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare” series as the source of their influence. The major difference being is that “B:TD” is an Xbox Live Arcade game for $15 and it is strictly focused on online play, whereas “Modern Warfare” was a retail priced…

Call of Duty Elite Xbox 360 DLC Restriction Being Fixed

Despite the terms and conditions stating otherwise, players with family members on the same Xbox 360 console found the content locked to all but the primary user. That left some consumers a little peeved, but Activision has been quick to respond, noting that full access to the DLC will be restored soon.

All letter scrambles have anagrams to discover, or they can be pieced out into smaller words if your opponent isn’t that snappy. There are enough quirks in the game design to keep the maps active against one or three other players. Quarrel has a great… -

Aliens: Colonial Marines Delayed Again, Gearbox Confirms
27 Jan 2012 | 11:54 amI’m not going to use the term vaporware here because Gearbox is behind this one and I love their work. With that said, the delays on this game are starting to get ridiculous.

While setting clear goals, deadlines and predictions is helpful, they are often subjective. We don’t want… -
The Darkness II: Hands-On Preview
27 Jan 2012 | 11:00 am2007’s The Darkness was what one might call both a critical and commercial success, receiving very solid review scores and selling over one million units. Even with all of that success, if you mentioned the game to a lot of gamers they would tell you that they never heard of it. The game told the story of Jackie Estacado, a mafia hitman whose family has a very “dark” and dangerous secret. The game then takes players on a journey of extreme violence and emotional despair that has seldom been matched since. And that brings us to now. Yesterday, in the conference room of a downtown… -

Blizzard still isn’t revealing exactly when they plan on releasing Diablo 3, but are doing everything they can to meet whatever date they have in mind.

Capcom Slightly Trolls Us With New Street Fighter X Tekken Roster Additions
27 Jan 2012 | 7:40 amFighting games aren’t exactly my forte, or at least fighting games that are devoid of color-coded ninjas and an abundance of over-the-top violence. Casey White is Shogun Gamer’s fighting game master but I felt a bit compelled to do a quick snippet on the latest reveal for Street Fighter X Tekken. Now I’ve somewhat followed SF X Tekken since it was first announced but I haven’t been looking forward to it as much as the still to be revealed Tekken x Street Fighter, which I think could be amazing if everything comes together.read more -
2K Czech Could Be Gearing Up For Mafia III [Rumor]
26 Jan 2012 | 12:46 pmAfter doing the unexpected in the form of producing Top Spin 4, developer 2K Czech could be going back to their roots with another installment in the Mafia series. Best known to gamers who adore old-fashioned mafia action set in the 1940s/early 1950s, Mafia II proved to be an unexpected open-world game as it wasn’t GTA: Mafia Edition but instead was an experience that had a great deal of substance and some nice action, which ultimately saved the game from a rather piss-poor ending.read more

What Videogames Mean To Me

Smash Bros Brawl Review [Wii]
26 Jan 2012 | 12:00 pmLove it or hate it, Nintendo has a large history of games under its belt. Many of its major franchises began on the NES and have since seen success over many generations. This has given them plenty of characters to include in the Super Smash Brothers franchise, and its newest game, Super Smash Brothers Brawl. With more characters, levels, mechanics and online, it is the greatest game in the series so far…with a couple of glaring flaws.

Nero - Welcome Reality Album Review [Music]
23 Jan 2012 | 12:00 pmDubstep is one of the hardest genres to judge simply because it really spreads itself out across a quality spectrum. Thankfully on Welcome Reality, Nero manages to hit the higher end of that spectrum. This is the first album from this London based Electronic trio and it’s a strong first release. With producers Daniel Stephens and Joe Ray providing some crunchy beats and music it works well with the vocals provided by Alana Watson. The range from straight dubstep to drum and bass helps to give this album a bit more than just the simple sound present in so many dubstep tracks. The band… -
Mass Effect 3 Kinect Impression [Xbox360]
20 Jan 2012 | 12:01 pmOne of the most anticipated games of the year is the third chapter in Bioware’s stellar Mass Effect series. I had the opportunity to play the demo at PAX late last year but last week at CES I got to try something that totally changes the game. Mass Effect 3 is going to have Kinect capabilities and it’s good. I had the opportunity to play the same demo that was on display at PAX but this time with Kinect. The difference was night and day.

Investigating Final Fantasy XIII-2's Characters
27 Jan 2012 | 3:46 pmI take an uneducated guess at what the characters of FF XIII-2 will be up to, and what other Final Fantasy characters should be in the game. I don't have a lot of experience with Final Fantasy XIII – I only played a couple of hours of the Japanese version for a preview way back in the day. However, if the comments of random Internet folk are anything to go by, my analyses of Pokémon and SoulCalibur V have been extremely helpful for gamers, so I thought I'd provide my professional take on FF XIII-2 as well. During my initial and highly intensive investigation of FF XIII-2,… -

Review: Amy
27 Jan 2012 | 11:11 pmNow, this one is a crying shame. I wanted to love Amy. I really did. With most of its contemporaries in the horror genre moving away from fear towards simply throwing a hundred guys wielding sharp objects at you, the concept of a game where you have to sneak around and hide from monsters to survive seemed like a welcome change of pace. You play as a woman, named Lana, who is trying to lead an Autistic girl (Amy) through a wasteland full of infected monstrosities that want to kill you both. As someone who also deals with the disorder, the fact that it… -

Iwata notes that although 3DS accelerated very quickly globally after its price cut, the cut came too late to meet Nintendo's 16m projection even with Mario Land 3D, Mario Kart 7, and Monster Hunter 3G performing well late in the year. Part of the issue was that the holiday lifts started later in the US and Europe than in previous years. 3DS is set to have the best launch year ever in Japan due to the effectiveness of the price cut and the… -

Games for Quitters
3 Jan 2012 | 1:44 pmThis early in the year, we can still talk about New Year resolutions. And saying “I quit” doesn’t always mean accepting defeat – not if cancer-sticks have a hold on you. This is not meant to be a dreary anti-smoking campaign. We are interested, though, in some of the modern ways there are for a smoker to attempt quitting – especially if they involve games. Scientific research shows there are a variety of factors that influence a person to begin smoking. Peer pressure, understandably, has a major impact on many young people.

I do 90% of my reading on an ereader, which is convenient for commute reading, easily brings me the sequel to the novel I’ve just finished, and fits neatly into my purse. So I was struck by the physical form of Theadora Goss’ new book, The Thorn and the Blossom, an accordion folded, double-sided story, in a heavy cardboard case for a package deceptively like a hardcover book.

Tips for Hassle-free Holiday Returns

Here are some tips for hassle-free holiday returns from Andrea Woroch, consumer and money-saving expert for Kinoli Inc.

My Offsite Backup Solutions
27 Jan 2012 | 4:30 amTo go along with my last post on indie maintenance and disaster plans, I’d like to mention how I currently back up my important data. Local Backups I have two active computers. My main development machine is my currently dying laptop. My desktop has a backup of my laptop’s data. Using rsync and SSH, I can transfer files between devices easily, which was really helpful when I needed to replace the desktop in 2010. I simply rsynced files to my laptop, then rsynced them back to the new desktop. As my laptop has been failing recently, I’ve been using any lucidity on its part as… -
Indie Maintenance and Disaster Plans
25 Jan 2012 | 2:29 pmMy Dell Precision M90, which has been running like a champ for more than half a decade despite my cats’ attempts to get their fur clogged in its fans, is finally dying. I’ve been seeing graphical glitches for some time, but I’ve been able to continue working, and the glitches eventually go away. Except when they don’t. And recently, the machine won’t boot correctly. The culprit seems to be a failing video card, which is way too expensive to replace. It’s frustrating since doing so would probably give this machine another few years of life. I’ve been… -
Why I Am Against SOPA/PIPA
23 Jan 2012 | 4:30 amI’ve been meaning to write about the Stop Online Piracy Act and the PROTECT IP Act, and even though they have been put on hold thanks to widespread Internet activism, they’re not dead yet, and laws like them are sure to follow. I am a game developer and a writer. And I do not support SOPA or PIPA. Why? Because I rely on the Internet and copyright, and these laws would undermine both the Internet’s functionality and the perception of copyright by the public in ways that would negatively impact me. Some Copyright History Copyright is complicated. There isn’t one law you… -
Integrating LodePNG with an SDL Project
9 Jan 2012 | 4:30 amIn efforts to port Stop That Hero! to the Mac, I ran into a strange issue involving PNG image data. See, the level layout in “Stop That Hero!” is defined by a 50×33 PNG. The colors of pixels in the PNG correspond to tiles and structures in the game. Grass tiles are represented in the PNG as green pixels, water is blue-green, mountains are gray, and so on. This PNG (blown up since 50×33 is so tiny): results in this level layout: I use libSDL_image in order to load image formats other than BMP, and on Windows and GNU/Linux, everything works as expected. On the Mac,… -
Prototype-ready Art Assets for Game Programmers
2 Jan 2012 | 7:00 amPrototypes are tough for game programmers. If you have a competent artist involved on your project, your game might look way better than it is, which makes it easier to show off the potential of your designs, but it also sets expectations higher. Since most programmers haven’t honed their art skills, programmer art tends to look pretty lame, which makes your game look pretty lame, even if it isn’t. Still, you probably want your game looking its best if you want to attract not only customers but talent. So where do you turn if you can’t afford an artist’s help yet and…

We call it a DAWG day – A Day Alone With God. Two years ago I came back from that bonfire with a strong sense that the [...] -

Clay Jam Preview (iPhone, iPad, Android)
27 Jan 2012 | 8:06 pmClaymation is a lot of fun to watch, but it hasn't had much luck crossing over into the realm of video games. I think the last time I played a claymation game was with ClayFighter back in the mid-90s. However developer Fat Pebble is getting ready to bring the animation style to mobile devices with Clay Jam, and it looks like the game will be a true work of art. -

Pixeljunk Eden is coming to PC next week (PC)
27 Jan 2012 | 5:08 pmIf you’re a PlayStation 3 owner, there’s a pretty good chance that you’ve long ago realized that Pixeljunk always equals genius. For years now, the Q-Games series of innovative and wonderfully fresh indie games has remained exclusively available on the PlayStation Network. That seemed to change earlier this year when Pixeljunk Monsters, a great tower defense experience, was announced as coming to Facebook. Now it looks like another Pixeljunk title is about to leap from the PS3 to your desktops. -

Square Enix games now on GOG.com (PC)

Case in point, GOG has just signed a deal with Square Enix to bring some of its massive back catalog to their digital storefront.

TNT Racers PSN Review
27 Jan 2012 | 10:21 pmTNT Racers is a little hard to describe, it’s not exactly a racing game, but not strictly an arcade game at the same time. The best way I can describe it is as a kart racing game from an overhead view. In TNT Racers you control your car from a top down perspective and are racing against up to three other cars. Although, much of the game has you racing on your own, because of time trials. Each race has a different spin on what you have to do, there are time trials where you need to complete a lap or laps under the time limit and then there are other straight up races against… -
The Witcher 2 On Xbox 360 Gets Release Date
27 Jan 2012 | 8:27 pmThe Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings was one of my favorite games of last year, and one of the best RPGs in recent memory. However, it wasn’t a game that was easy to run on PC because of the incredible graphics it sported. We’ve known for a while now that the game was coming to Xbox 360 but now we have a firm release date of April 17th. The 360 version will feature over three hours of new content for an already expansive game but that’s not even the best that fans have to look forward to. The game will be released with two editions. The Enhanced Edition for $59.99 and The Dark… -

SSX, Should you pre-order? Well… Yes
10 Jan 2012 | 9:00 amIt’s been a long time coming, and that’s a good thing. The new SSX has spent 3 years in development and had been pitched to EA by several other developers before they finally took it up as a first party project. EA is quite rightly protective of a much loved game and the time they’ve taken with the first next gen SSX proves that. So what’s new? Well pretty much everything. For a start, the scale is immense. They’ve used models of real mountain ranges to create each of nine huge locations from across the globe. That’s not to say you’ll be boarding… -

That’s just the film side. So, like everyone else on the internet, we’re gonna give a shot at doing our own Best and Worst of 2011.

Pac-Man, Mega Man coming to Street Fighter X Tekken
27 Jan 2012 | 1:23 amWell, here’s a twist. Street Fighter X Tekken, Capcom’s upcoming mash-up fighter just added 2 new characters to its PS3 exclusive line up. They are as iconic as they are unusual though. One has never appeared in a fighting game before, the other has never been seen like this in a game before. Mega Man circa 1987 The Blue Bomber is packin heat Let’s start with the latter. The Blue Bomber himself, Mega Man will join Ryu, Ken, Kazuya and Nina in the ring. But instead of the 4 foot bionic boy, Mega Man looks as if he’s just stepped out of his original NES box art. Making a… -
SOPA Protests; A Rebuttal
20 Jan 2012 | 4:21 pmIf the acronyms SOPA and PIPA are still unfamiliar to you, I’m afraid you’ve come to the wrong article, but I can suggest a good primer, particularly if you’re a gamer. What I do want to bring up is how ridiculous I find some people’s protests to be. Before you start assuming I’m somehow FOR the passing of the bills (in their current forms anyway) let me settle your minds. I’m not. I’ve reached out to my representatives, I’ve spread the facts and I’m plenty upset in my own right at the audacity of those who wrote and support the bills. -

For a mental thrill (ok, it was kind of a rush too), check out Dig This in Las Vegas, NV. Dig This is a sparkling example of capitalism at its finest.

The Chuck Jones Experience
17 Jan 2012 | 9:48 pmWhen people talk about animation, they are often pulled to two very distinct ends of the spectrum: either animation is an amazing and reverential art form, or cartoons are just for kids. But when one walks into The Chuck Jones Experience, a unique interactive exhibit dedicated to one of the masters of animated films, I was captivated by the chronicles of an amazingly talent animator, and dizzy with the memories of antics from a certain rabbit and duck. In other words, I was really excited. As a writer, I occasionally get to visit some exciting venues and meet celebrities, but Chuck Jones is…

(Trailer) Death to Darksiders II!
19 Jan 2012 | 10:03 pmFiled under "zomgyes", the trailer for Darksiders II hit today and it looks just as good as the first game. In the trailer, the new main character, Death, is shown. He's described as "feral" where War (from the first game - read my review) was more calculated and planned out. Death carries a scythe for a weapon that can either be split so you can dual wield scythes or merged into one massive weapon. Check it out!

Max Payne 3 Delayed
26 Jan 2012 | 12:26 amYes, it's true. It looks like we are all going to have to wait a little bit longer to continue Max's journey through the night. After teasing us with a March release date, we can now expect to experience Max's metaphor-laden monologues on May 15, 2012. The word from publisher Take-Two is that the two-month delay is to ensure Max Payne 3 is the top-notch product we are all expecting. Furthermore, one may infer that the May release date is a mark of approval by Take-Two. After all, Grand Theft Auto IV launched on April 29th, 2008, followed Red Dead Redemption and L.A.

Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition Trailer Released
19 Jan 2012 | 12:36 pmIt all looks nice, but it's nothing we haven't seen before, that probably has something to do with it essentially being a GOTY edition of the game. If you're like me and already have Fallout: New Vegas, it's not going to be worth buying, but it's a nice trailer with new music. Very good new music. I think we can give them time to make Fallout 4, as long as it runs on a fixed version of the Skyrim engine.

Behind the Scenes of an Upcoming Deus Ex Fan Film
19 Jan 2012 | 4:45 amA behind the scenes video popped up on youtube yesterday for an upcoming Deus Ex fan film seemingly sharing the same name, simply titled Deus Ex. While it may look extremely cheesy now, this is what it looks like before a movie goes into editing, and most of these are just practice shots anyway. Some costumes can be seen in the trailer and seem to point toward it being based on Human Revolution, the latest game in the series. It already looks fantastic, I look forward to the release and will post it when it becomes available. Related posts:Deus Ex: Human Revolution Review Deus Ex: Human…

October Game Sales Disappoint According to NPD (11/12/2011)
12 Nov 2011 | 2:49 amVideo game sales topped $621 million for the month of October, representing a 1-3% increase in sales over this time last year. Unfortunately, analysts had expected the video game market to increase by about 14%. This past month's sales are wildly lower than even conservative estimates, showing a disappointing month for the industry at large. The slow growth for this past month seems to show that the game industry may be flat for the year, or even down a bit over last year's numbers, despite a stonger month in October. Growth over last year was led by Battlefield 3, which sold over 5 million…

Customer Experience Failure I’ll skip the blow by blow, but the simple task of downloading X-Plane 10 web demo was a Thanksgiving nightmare, followed by the inability to even start the program, and finishing with such low frame rates, that I thought my monitor was showing me an old 8mm film. Then came a number of web updates and the requirement to download an installer from the website to install the DVDs. The overall… -

It’s a Kind of Magic: Trine 2 Review
21 Jan 2012 | 2:47 pmSometimes, I forget what a wonderful thing Xbox LIVE Arcade is. When the right kind of content is released, it can be quite an incredible place, a platform for getting your hands on independent content crafted with love, care and a certain amount of hands-on flair that is hard to find in many of the major mainstream releases these days. Bogged down with marketing strategies, multiplayer servers and user demographics, too many below average titles get the exposure they don’t deserve. With Arcade, smaller yet better honed experiences get a chance to be played at a (mostly) reasonable…

Blizzard Selling WoW Server Blades For St. Jude Charity
27 Jan 2012 | 6:03 pmBlizzard is retiring 350 World Of Warcraft server blades. Blades are basically removable computers on racks the same way pull-out stereos were back in the 80's and 90's. I'm pretty sure my WoW character from 2006 is still on one of those realms. I was in the whole MMO scene for a year and jumped out. Ironically, I saw the server blade etched with the same realm I started my character in at 2011's Blizzcon. Now, Kotaku has brought it back this year and Blizzard is actually going to auction these things for a good cause. -

Buying Nintendo 8-Bit (NES) and 16-bit (SNES) games these days
15 Jan 2012 | 1:18 pmMany of you who sold your Nintendo stuff ten -- fifteen years ago, like me, may have had second thoughts later regretting about selling. When Playstation 1 and 3D hit the markets, it may have been seen as a decent option to sell for a growing teenager. Who would like to play Mega Man anymore at age of 13 when PS1 and 3d games are out? Guess again. They're still cool games.There are plenty of auction houses to buy the Nes and Snes games, and at 2012 most of them are still quite common to find. However the most highly rated and sought after games are now getting bit more rare, seeing that they… -

SOPA/PIPA - Good and Evil Revealed
26 Jan 2012 | 1:58 amI am not active in politics, however, bills like SOPA/PIPA is starting to bring me to the concern that I should. As many know, SOPA/PIPA did not pass, and thank you for everyone who protested. I never signed a petition in my life, and there I was, Google in my face asking for one. I signed it with anxiousness and pride. I do not condone stealing. However, I do believe it's impossible to regulate digital management when 100% of all Internet users infringe everyday. Be it a single song, a couple movies, or just a picture from Google images. Don't lie and say you didn't "borrow" an infringing… -
Graphic Design 101: Image File Formats
10 Oct 2011 | 7:45 pmThere are a handful of image file formats, but only a select few we use for certain purposes. New ones pop up now and then, but not often enough to worry much about being up to date with all of them.For graphic designs (raster), we typically use PSD (Photoshop Document) and XCF (eXperimental Computing Facility for GIMP) especially when working with layers. Think of these file types as "workstation" formats. You don't publish them, but you modify and back them up for future versions or derivatives. "But PNG is the best format ever!".

Graphic Design 101: Let's Start From The Beginning
9 Oct 2011 | 6:44 pmThere seems to be a lot of misconception of graphic design these days. Perhaps being unable to attend courses for basic education behind this field makes people naturally defensive and aggressive to those who try and help their self-taught "skill". I love interjections I get that I'm self righteous for stepping on people's toes and breaking their little hearts for their creations. Well, as I have been taught from every art community/college course, art is not meant for the faint of heart if you want to make something on a respectable level. But this marks the path to a new series of… -
To Unity critics of Ubuntu 11.04...
28 Sep 2011 | 2:08 pmI want to address how I feel about Ubuntu's new Unity interface in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal."Ubuntu is now a Mac, blah blah...". Let's face it, Apple really did the Mac justice with window management in their OS X. Something Linux distros failed to do is fill this gap. This is why I fell in love with Ubuntu 11.04's Unity interface. If anything, Ubuntu took a step away from the Windows 95/98 era of stone age windows management and embraced change. People whine that Ubuntu is trying to be a Mac... Well, I argue Ubuntu is trying NOT to be Windows, a good thing. I also want to say the new… -
Dusting off a purpose for this blog spot

I was originally going to design and setup a blog space on my actual website (Keizgon Arts), but I feel that is a separate entity for a more professional demo-scene soon to come (crosses fingers).As far as life and development goes, I've settled in a new (and bigger) apartment last month.

Pokemon fans salute, Mew Two is coming

Nintendo has announced today that starting February 12th players of Pokemon Black and White will be able to download Mewtwo to their games. February is apparently Mewtwo month for Nintendo. Not only will players be able to download Mewtwo to their games, but the next Pokemon TCG set makes it’s debut on February 8th, featuring a new Mewtwo card. There is also a special showing of The Mastermind of Mirage Pokemon over on the Pokemon website. The exact details on the downloadable Mewtwo won’t be… -
Microsoft is trying to ban the used games market
25 Jan 2012 | 5:05 pmIndustry sources have disclosed to Kotaku that Microsoft’s successor to the Xbox 360 will incorporate Blu-Ray discs, introduce the Kinect 2, and prohibit used games from working. The report that Microsoft may be embracing the Blu-Ray comes as no surprise given its success on the PlayStation 3. At 25GB, the Blu-Ray disc can carry almost three times the amount of data of a 9GB DVD. While there has been some speculation that the next Xbox would contain no physical media whatsoever, it is highly unlikely given the current state of the internet’s infrastructure. It will be awhile yet… -
How to blow your MS Live points before they fade out
25 Jan 2012 | 5:04 pmRumor has it [link] the confusing and pointless (heh) Microsoft points system is on it’s way out, soon to be replaced by regular, old fashioned and not confusing money. The problem is I have about 1000 points to use and as things stand no one has told me whether those will roll over. I mean… I assume they will but what if they don’t? I guess the only thing to do is spend them in a spree of wanton American greed. And in real life. Because I’m broke. Now let’s see if I can figure out how many points equals how much of something else. This should be not fun at all. -
What do all MMO players want most? A customizable UI
25 Jan 2012 | 2:16 pmArenaNet has promised a lot for Guild Wars 2 and I feel like they are going to deliver, although there is one area that has not been a huge topic of discussion. That topic is the UI and functionality, and I would like to talk about it today. In the many MMOs I have played, the screen is often littered with strange boxes containing unexplained information. Sure the health and mana bars were in a familiar location, but often the UI is so cluttered I can barely see my character and the action of the game. So what can ArenaNet do to make their UI even better for Guild wars… -
Today, we’re offering a constructive take on how BioWare can improve on PvP in SW:TOR going forward.

Unfortunately, the intentions were sound, butBioWare made some major mistakes in not anticipating some of the results of these changes. Last week, we discussed and reacted to the changes in an update to our staff blog titled “How Not to Improve PvP,” and this week I’d like to discuss a number of ways BioWare can improve on the game’s PvP offerings.

Firstly, lets talk about dashboarding, this has been plaguing many players on the Xbox 360, dashboarding is where people jump to the Xbox 360 Dashboard instead of quitting a multiplayer match properly, sometimes if the host does this it could lead to a complete end to the game because the game for some reason cannot manage to find another host.

Gears of War 3: Fenix Rising review
23 Jan 2012 | 11:26 pmNow, having had the Fenix Rising DLC for a fair amount of time at this point, and also having played all the maps I figured I’d put in my two cents. First of all, I didn’t have the DLC the day it came out. I was about two days late, and while playing without the DLC the servers were absolutely horrible. Every single game I played was so laggy it became infuriating. A friend of mine then informed me that people who purchased the DLC were playing on ‘dedicated servers’ and those hadn’t purchased it day of, were playing on lag infested crap servers. So, what was the…
