Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence Three-Disc Set Coming To Europe

It's already been out in the US since March, and it's still going to take another few months before Konami finally brings the Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence set over to Europe, in October 2006. But once they do, it will be a great opportunity for fans of the series to not only embark on Snake's last outing on the PlayStation 2 (...)

Denzel 'Master Chief' Washington To Star In Halo Movie? // UPDATE

A very-very brief mentioning of the Halo movie on the Dark Horizons entertainment news rumours website brings unsubstantiated word that Fox / Universal's game tie-in will feature Denzel Washington as none other than Master Chief. The Oscar winning actor was also hinted by the Associated Press earlier this month, (...)

Warren Spector's Words of Wisdom. Got $20 Million?

Some know him from his early days at Origin and Looking Glass (System Shock rings a bell?), others associate him with Ion Storm's outstanding Deus Ex game, but there are also those who simply love to hear him talk on and on, about the precarious state of the gaming industry. (...)

What Do Game Developers Hate About Game Reviewers?

One of the features that caught my attention this week on GameDaily.com touches on the delicate topic of how journalists review video games. And, most interestingly, what game developers hate about it. Playing a game for just a few hours before reviewing it is a rather common practice, sadly enough, and it's certainly (...)

QuakeCon 2006 Championship With $100,000 Worth of Prizes

It only took about a day for all 1,800 BYOC (bring your own computer) spots to be claimed, once the QuakeCon 2006 registration process began late last month. And with the usual sponsors - Intel, nVidia and Activision - already confirmed for this year's event, it's now time for the first QuakeCon tournaments to be announced. (...)

The Lord of the Rings: The White Council, EA's New RPG

"Time will tell", was how our previous story on EA's role-playing machinations ended late last month, and indeed time has spoken. As part of their summer showdown, Electronic Arts officially announced their new role-playing game called The Lord of the Rings: The White Council - which predictably turns out to be (...)

Driver License Goes From Atari To Ubisoft For $24 Million

I think we can all agree that, ever since the first - and best - Driver game came out in 1999, the whole series went right down the drain. Reflections' sequel Driver 2 was a PlayStation exclusive, and reportedly a bad one at that. Then came Atari's Driv3r fiasco, which still makes me shiver in disgust every time I think about it. (...)

Half-Life 2 On Xbox 360, PS3, With Team Fortress 2 And Portal!

In a press release from a couple of days ago, Electronic Arts briefly mentioned Half-Life as one of the big franchises that will see the release of new titles in the near future, but I don't think that anyone was prepared for what Valve's imposing Game Newell had to reveal at yesterday's "EA Summer Showcase". Not only did he (...)

Today marks the beginning of the open beta testing phase for the War Rock online modern military shooter, which has been in closed beta since late last year. Those who already got a chance to try it, know that it's a fairly modest alternative to Battlefield 2, but hopefully it will remain free even after the final realease, (...)

Announced just a short while ago by developer Octopi, PoxNora is one of those online web-based games that look great (relatively speaking of course), and sound even better, as the game promises to draw the best elements from trading card, tactical miniatures and fantasy RPGs to create a unique online strategy game. (...)
