by Jesse [ Tuesday, 7th of July 2009 - 06:10 PM ]

According to a press release today, Ubisoft will be opening a new development studio in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The Ontario government is investing CA $263 million over the next ten years. Reports are that the studio will begin operations in late 2009 and that the move will create 800 net new jobs throughout the ten year period. The new studio will be the fourth in Canada following in Ubisoft’s studios located in Montreal, Quebec City, and Vancouver. “Today’s announcement marks a strategic move for Ubisoft as we continue to expand our internal development force,” said Yves Guillemot, president and chief executive officer at Ubisoft.

by Ben Brody [ Tuesday, 30th of June 2009 - 06:16 PM ]

So today is Release Tuesday and here's a rundown of what's coming out: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince It's odd that a movie-based game comes out this early before the actual movie (the movie comes out July 15th in the US/UK and the July 29th in IMAX, it should also be noted the movie has been in the can since May of 2008) The game which semi-follows the movie which semi-follows the book will be released for (here we go) the PS2, PS3, 360, Wii, PC/Mac, DS, and PSP. It's rated E10+. Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood The prequel to 2006's Western FPS Call of Juarez comes out this Release Tuesday and tells the story of the infamous McCall brothers. Read More...

WoW Turncoats On The Way

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 30th of June 2009 - 04:33 PM ]

WoW Faction-Change Service in the Works When I first started playing World of Warcraft, I chose the Horde side of things. Big surprise with the Horde having undead huh? But, all of the real world people I knew who played loved the Alliance side of things for some reason. Which left me either having to worry about leveling two toons, forcing them to try Horde, or giving in and being bored with the Alliance. Didn't make it good for my continuation of the game. Things may be changing now. Read More...

ZeniMax Media Inc Acquires id Software

by Ben Brody [ Thursday, 25th of June 2009 - 06:16 AM ]

ZeniMax Media, the parent company of Bethesda, of Fallout 3 and Elder Scrolls fame, has purchased id Software, of Doom, Wolfenstein, Quake, and Commander Keen fame. The move was surprising, as more people have been questioning who was going to buy Midway rather than who was going to buy id. Daily operations won't change at id Software, “No changes will be made in the operations of id Software in the development of its games. id Software will continue to operate as a studio under the direction of its founder, John Carmack.” Soothing news to those following the development of id's next AAA game, Rage.

Revenge Is A Powerful Force

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 22nd of June 2009 - 06:17 PM ]

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Launch Trailer Just in case all of us gamer geeks out here have forgotten, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen comes out this week. In both theatrical release and video game release. All for the makes of us to cream our shorts with 1980'S nostalgia in a darker 21st way. Not to mention to profit off said nostalgia and fathers and older brothers forcing said nostalgia on their younger children or siblings. It's a good old American pastime. Read More...

Get Assassinated In A Hospital

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 19th of June 2009 - 05:05 PM ]

Two New Wolfenstein Trailers Hospitals for some are just creepy places to be. People laying in "death beds," sharp medical instruments everywhere, creepy doctors or patients wandering about, and the ever draining of ones life force, money. So it makes sense that when you want to place a creepy scene or level in a game, you would choose an environment like this to give that real creep factor to the players. Raven Software, not wanting to skip on this for Wolfenstein, have placed another version of the Hospital level in a game. This time with Nazis and demonic powered soldiers. Read More...

Rumor Mill: New XBOX Console to NOT be released in 2010

by Ben Brody [ Wednesday, 17th of June 2009 - 02:59 AM ]

So you may have read my previous article in which 1UP reported that a new XBOX console was coming next fall. Well (more than) a few people called shenanigans. Throw Microsoft and Team XBOX into that circle now. "I think part of the excitement about this announcement is that in many ways we are delivering a next generation experience this generation. With that said, I can confirm that Natal will run on Xbox 360 so no new console investment will be necessary." says Aaron Greenberg, director of product management, in an interview with Eurogamer.

Getting tired of all the World War games out there? I’m sure you’re not the only one, myself including. *cough*World at War*cough*. But, have you ever wonder what it would feel like being a part of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War? How about the battle of Antietam? I am sure you want to kill you want to kill a Spartan with your machine gun. Well you now can with 8 Monkey Labs newest release, Darkest of Days.

Rumor Mill: New XBOX Console to be released in 2010

by Ben Brody [ Sunday, 14th of June 2009 - 01:09 PM ]

You heard right, a new Microsoft console is allegedly on the horizon for Fall 2010, to coincide with Project Natal. Let the name-game begin (to reiterate myself I would prefer XBOX 4 but more on this later)1up.com is reporting on something that I touched on yesterday, a new game console. If 1up's reports are to be true, than a new Microsoft console will be released alongside Natal next year. While it won't be a new XBOX, it will be more like an update. Think DSi to DS lite or PSP Go to PSP. Read More...

Project Natal

by Kevin [ Monday, 8th of June 2009 - 05:54 PM ]

You clutch the weapon, your breath short as your lungs are barely functioning. You try and remember every point of entry the enemy will come from. You can hear the echoes of their battle cries fill every precipice and crack in the walls – but you hold still and ready. To engage them fully would be suicide you think, and the only death you are willing to give allowance to is theirs. So you sit, and you wait. Each moment becoming more visceral then the last, and then you see them, and your body empties a war cry from every sinew, bone, and cell. Read More...

E3 Hands-On Impressions of God of War III

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Saturday, 6th of June 2009 - 10:09 PM ]

Now I could go the route that you all think I am going to go with this. Well at least the route that any who have heard our E3 podcasts and also saw the PSN Pulse interview. That is, just go all out using the flashy words, hundred dollar words, spouting awesome catch phases, being the total fan boy of this game and franchise. But you know what? I totally am going that route with this. Read More...

E3 Impressions - Wolfenstein

by Brian Bentley [ Saturday, 6th of June 2009 - 05:56 PM ]

There is something unforgettable about the moment you began playing Wolfenstein 3D. Fast, furious and in your face, this title made an impact that affected the games industry forever. For many gamers, including myself, it changed the way we played and thought about games, shooters in particular. Fast forward 17 years and many first player shooters later, Wolfenstein is getting set up to be released by id Software and during this E3, we saw a demonstration focusing on the supernatural aspects of the game. Once again, you assume the role of BJ Blazkowicz and it is your mission to uncover and stop the Nazi plot to take over the world. Read More...

E3 Hands-On Impressions of The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

by Brian Bentley [ Saturday, 6th of June 2009 - 09:25 AM ]

Cooks, mathematicians and sports teams all employ a powerful weapon to achieve success in their chosen fields: formulas. Much will be said from E3 2009 and beyond until well after the launch of the Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. A lot of it will probably not be flattering. Nintendo has found a graphical and stylistic formula on the Nintendo DS that is both successful and fun.At Nintendo’s booth this year at E3, I was able to avoid the long wait times associated with playing an anticipated title like The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks and go hands-on for the entire demo. The demo was split into 3 parts: Dungeon, Boss and Train. Read More...

The Ultimate Gaming Wishlist

by Jesse [ Thursday, 4th of June 2009 - 06:31 AM ]

I consider myself a hardcore gamer, and as such I do my best to play a lot of different games. But no matter how satisfied I am with the titles that are released year in and year out, I can't help but wish for something else. Now don't get me wrong, just about anything I could ever want has been released at some point, and yet I still can't help but feel like if someone else had worked on the game it would have taken the game to a whole new level. That's what this is all about. The Ultimate Gaming Wish list is a look at what I would like to see on the horizon. Read More...
