• Be the 'scalpel' and the 'sledge' in Medal of Honor
  This year, EA’s long-running Medal of Honor franchise is being remade for the modern era. World War II is out; the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan is in. The series reboot, simply titled Medal of Honor, is due out this fall; EA Los Angeles is putting together the single-player campaign, while Battlefield developer EA DICE is working on the mult […]
• GDC 10: Sony's Move trailer: Wireframed imagination
  We've seen enough living room family gaming promotional videos to last us a lifetime. Nintendo started it with the Wii a few years back, but here recently both Sony and Microsoft have been putting their own versions out with their new alternative control schemes. Today we saw a trailer that showed off what Sony's new controller, t […]
• Torchlight coming to consoles
  Blizzard may keep hemming and hawing on whether or not Diablo III will leave its snuggly PC home, but Runic Games will make sure loot-hungry console gamers get their dungeon crawling fix. The team is making "serious efforts" to bring Torchlight to the non-PC crowd, and that's just super.  “We’re going to put some serious effort i […]
• Medal of Honor 'not necessarily pushing the genre forward'
  You’d think that EA would be doing its best to separate Medal of Honor from the pack in a very crowded first-person shooter market. The team at EA Los Angeles is, indeed, working to make the game stand out, but the experience is not likely to be the most innovative shooter you’ve ever played. Executive producer Greg Goodrich explained that the […]
• Experience the war effort from all sides in Medal of Honor
  When I saw a demo of the single-player campaign from EA’s upcoming Medal of Honor reboot last week, it instantly brought back memories of some of the early entries in the franchise, such as Allied Assault and Frontline. Those games were typically characterized by a player character who was a one-man army; he turned the tide of World War II seem […]
• Oscar winners working on Ghost Recon movie
  You know the part of the academy awards where you haven't seen any of the movies and you stop paying attention? Well, those movies have a name and they're called shorts and this year had some really amazing ones if you ever get a chance to actually seem them. One of the most amazing, in fact the one to win best animated short, was Log […]
• GDC 10: Take a gander at MI: SE 2: LeChuck's Revenge
  Developer LucasArts isn’t settling for the same list of features for the second Special Edition release of their coveted Monkey Island franchise. In a conversation with me earlier this afternoon during the debut event, Lucas producer Craig Derrick said all should expect a few subtle additions on par with the Spiffy the dog insert in MI: SE.Of c […]
• GDC 10: Sony Move Party girl looks like Amber Lamps
  When I was watching Sony's presentation for their motion sense enabled Move Party game this afternoon, I was kind of hung up on the person playing the game. She reminded me of someone, but I couldn't put my finger on who it was. It was almost to the point where I wasn't paying attention to the game.  I still haven't figu […]
• GDC 10: Mount and Blade: Warband impressions
  Paradox Interactive’s latest Mount and Blade, Warband, might tickle KOEI fans in their special hidden place. The combat in particular has that breezy, disconnected feel of a hollow Dynasty Warriors title. But Warband has its share of differences. Foremost is the choice of its medieval setting, and of course, the class-based MP mode that support […]
• Survey hints at Netflix on the DS
  As of right now I can play my Netflix on my computer, on my 360, through that Netflix box thing and through my PS3. Down the road the streaming video part of the service has already been confirmed for the Wii, though thanks to the many hi-def options most gamers already have that won't be so useful to a lot of us. The main problem with all […]
