UltraMarines: Warhammer 40k Movie Announces Voice Actors (Video)
Mar 9th
We’ll soon be treated to a few movies based of video games, like this one. TRON seems to be a great candidate for a video game based movie, and that trailer makes it look like it will be one to watch. Another notable movie will be the one from Legendary pictures based on Blizzard’s Warcraft games, but that may still be a while off. However, there are other noteworthy ones in the works as well.
If you haven’t heard about it already, let me introduce you to the UltraMarines, a movie based… Read >>
Place Your Bets: Valve Bringing Steam To The Macintosh
Mar 3rd
Many of us have noticed that Steam recently released a new beta client, complete with all kinds of cool new UI improvements and other assorted bells and whistles. In reading the beta release notes recently I noticed something interesting. One of the line items in those notes was that Valve has replaced the in game web browser’s rendering engine with WebKit instead of IE. Since Steam runs on Windows only, it makes perfect sense that it would be easy to just use IE, so their motivation to make this change seemed curious to… Read >>
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 – The Awesome Starts Tomorrow (Video)
Mar 1st
I’ve been playing the BFBC2 demo and I have to say that this looks like the next great shooter that I’ll be getting into, although I think I certainly need to buy a joystick for my PC if I’m going to think about flying a helicopter. Beta saw me attempt to fly these in a fantastical noob style with only my keyboard and mouse, and the attempts nearly always ended in a crash and burn mere yards from the launching pad and lots of kids cussing me in chat for trying to fly. Crashing and burning… Read >>
Move Over Modern Warfare 2: Battlefield Bad Company 2 Is Here To Own You (Video)
Jan 22nd
EA recently released a video of the single player campaign in Battlefield: Bad Company 2, and I must say the trailer looks great. It seems to be heavily sprinkled with game play footage, wicked rock and roll music, and the ever cool quote of “It’s gonna get real ugly” to top off the cool meter:
However, I’m not much for trailers that may not give you the best idea as to how the game plays. Upon further investigation, I came upon this purely awesome developer walk through of how squad deathmatch games work. Check… Read >>
Das Leckage: German Magazine Images Show SWTOR’s Final Two Classes
Nov 23rd
From the land of der wienerschnitzel we get some leaky updatege about BioWare’s Star Wars: The Old Republic. Apparently PC Gamer magazine in Germany got the rights to an exclusive on SWTOR’s last two remaining classes, and the latest issue of that magazine tells us (albeit in German) the scoop on what these two new classes are likely to be.
An industrious fan scanned images from the magazine in anonymous style, and posted the scanned images online. I took the liberty to download and provide those here for your viewing pleasure in case those disappear… Read >>
OnLive: It Works On Your iPhone Too
Nov 13th
Today OnLive CEO Steve Pearlman dropped a great nugget of info about the OnLive service we’ve heard so much about over the years. It works on mobile devices. Fire up your iPhone and watch your buddy fragging away while you are in the office, err…I mean while you are on your lunch break. He basically, goes on to state that while this technical demonstration works on the iPhone, the real value is in the social aspects. I really doubt we’ll see anyone playing Modern Warfare 2 on an iPhone via the OnLive service with any… Read >>

Star Wars: The Old Republic – The Wait Is Over…In 2011

So the wait for SWTOR is almost over right? Wrong. It was widely rumored from EA chief John Rittecelo’s recent statement during an EA earnings meeting that SWTOR’s target launch date would be in the spring of 2011. I didn’t know how to feel about that statement as SWTOR wasn’t specifically named in his statement, but it was obvious that he was talking about that game. EA doesn’t have any other MMO with an equal or higher production value to potentially impact EA’s earnings the way SWTOR can, so that had to be… Read >>
