• Kick pigs in Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition because you can
  Zeno Clash developer ACE Team knows us all too well. Apparently, we let the latest trailer for Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition slip into inbox obscurity, which is unfortunate. We were informed that the video features hot pig-on-foot action, which is not unfortunate. Hence this write-up of said trailer. Jump straight to the one-minute mark if you […]
• GDC 10: Move: The Shoot has me spinning
  On-rails light gun action is what you're getting with this PlayStation Move game called The Shoot. It's called The Shoot because you'll find yourself traveling through mock movie sets. Think of an updated Virtua Cop that takes you through generic film lots and you'll be on the right track. We saw a science fiction-based […]
• GDC 10: Quantic Dream designed its own motion control device for Heavy Rain
  With the reveal of PlayStation Move, the question on everyone's minds is whether or not Heavy Rain will be updated to take advantage of the motion controller. While Quantic Dream is quiet on the topic, we do know that the developer had originally designed Heavy Rain with a motion controller in mind. But taking it a step further, David Cage […]
• GDC 10: Hands-on with Bit.Trip Runner
  Lawsuits aside, I'm a huge fan of the Bit.Trip series. I may wish nothing but destruction on Gaijin Games, but hell if they don't make some fantastic stuff. Bit.Trip Runner, Gaijin's newest game, was playable on the GDC expo floor. As the first Bit.Trip platformer and the first game in the series to not consist entirely of abstra […]
• GamesMaster to return to UK TV?
  The majority of UK gamers will look back fondly on the year 1992 as it saw the start of the cult gaming show, GamesMaster, air on television. 12 years later, the classic show is rumoured to return by Q4 2010. GamesMaster was the very first television programme aired in the UK exclusively involving videogames. The original show was marketed i […]
• GDC 10: The best (and sexiest) Move game ever: Slider
  I've played a few Move games, but the one I just played (above) is the best so far. It's called Slider, and it is the only Move game so far from SCEJ. Slider is set in Hong Kong. A poor office boss and his lovely secretary are holed up in their office. The bills are overdue and the mafia is out to get them. Their only escape? Offi […]
• Uncharted 2: 'moving away from QTE's was the way to go'
  When not conveying Naughty Dog's production process in intricate detail, Uncharted 2 co-lead designer Richard Lemarchand also talked about the team's larger design goals during his postmortem today. At least one of those goals was to further increase the scale and intensity of Uncharted's cinematic experience: this meant focusing […]
• GDC 10: GAMMA 4, by cactus
  Each year, Gamma entrants are asked to make games under certain constraints. This year, all Gamma4 entries must be controlled with a single button. I'm going to write up my impressions of all six Gamma4 games. Yeah, that's what the actual game looks like. At his IGS talk earlier in the week, cactus called Mark Essen his "hero. […]

• Uncharted 2 designer concedes story lags in final act
  During "Among Friends," Richard Lemarchand's Uncharted 2 postmortem at GDC 10, the co-lead designer admitted that the macro-design of the story and gameplay beats early on in production resulted in a mechanically exciting, but narratively lacking final act in the mythic city of Shambhala. "There aren't really enou […]
