GDC 10: Is this PlayStation Move’s answer to Wii Bowling? 11 March 2010 at 8:40 am by admin


Considering that there are some people that bought a Wii just  to play the bowling game bundled with Wii Sports , it’s simply out of the question for Sony to launch PlayStation Move without its own take on the sport. While Sony doesn’t have anything prepped as far as we know, developer FarSight Studios has its own game, Brunswick Bowling , in the works. Unsurprisingly, the game is exactly what you’d expect, with the basic mechanics not dissimilar from “Wii Bowling.” A notable difference is that the Move lacks any sort of direction pad, unlike the Wii Remote.

I know that we finally got to see a bit of what Microsoft had up their sleeves for mobile gaming at the recent Mobile Congress. I’d guess that anyone even remotely interested sat up and took notice of the changes Windows 7 Mobile would bring to your pocket

+ GDC 10: New Red Faction planned for March 2011 By admin 11 March 2010 at 6:20 am and have No Comments

Talking with Joystiq at GDC, THQ’s executive VP of Core Games Danny Bilson (biggest business card ever) has upgraded the expected release date of the next Red Faction game from simply ” fiscal 2011 ” to something a bit more solid — March 2011. “The new game takes [ Red Faction ] to a whole new place, it kind of goes back to the old Red Faction because about 80% of it is underground,” he explained

+ GDC 10: Green Day: Rock Band details, release date By admin 11 March 2010 at 5:20 am and have No Comments

Harmonix and MTV Games have taken the week of GDC to premiere and drop some of the final details on the upcoming Green Day: Rock Band , which is set to his shelves on June 8.  From the looks of things, Green Day is getting a similar treatment to The Beatles, with a game that includes many of the same features. Three part harmonies have made the cut, and players can unlock 100 collectibles images and 40 minutes of rare video and performances as they work through Green Day’s 20-plus-year career.  The game will ship with 47 tracks (fully exportable for Xbox 360 and PS3 for a small fee). At a party last night where the game itself was premiered, five of game’s songs were revealed: “Brain Stew/Jaded,” “Hitchin’ A Ride,” “American Idiot,” “Wake Me Up When September Ends,” and “Boulevard of Broken Dreams.” I’ll admit that I’d be more excited about Naked City’s Torture Garden: Rock Band , but it was surprising how many of these songs I knew note for note

It’s not hard to describe what Arrow Head Games downloadable magic-spewing action title Magicka is all about: it’s an isometric hack-and-slash fest minus the swords and the RPG elements.

+ Massive hammer GET: Clash of the Titans screenshots By admin 10 March 2010 at 1:20 pm and have No Comments

It’s hard to say why I keep choosing to write about Clash of the Titans . It’s as if a mysterious force is pulling me toward this game adaptation of the upcoming film. It looks to be a decidedly mediocre action game, and yet, I feel oddly compelled to continue posting all of the screenshots Namco Bandai sends our way.
