Mirror’s Edge continues to deliver
The above video speaks for itself. Shown at Leipzig this gameplay footage reinforces the unique path this game is taking for what is essentially an FPS game. Announced in February, Mirror’s Edge has yet to be given a release date, though by the polish shown by this video and its E3 showing, a holiday season [...]
Blizzard Execs Wear Money Hats
I saw this story and just had to share it. In a recent interview with Develop Magazine, Gabe Newell was asked the age-old question “Is PC gaming dead?”. His response is what you’d expect; no, but it is changing. And he’s right, it’s not dead. PC gaming is smaller, but title quality is way up, [...]
E3 Wolfenstein footage
As id continues to cycle through its mainstay franchises (Doom, Quake, Wolfenstein) it seems it is now time for William ”BJ” Blazkowicz to save the earth once again from the occult experimentation of the Third Reich……again.
Announced 3 years ago, little so far has been announced about 2001’s RTCW sequel. Going by the end of the trailer above [...]

For those not in the know, AudioSurf is a music-based puzzle game that develops unique puzzles based on the [...]
AMD’s Cinema 2.0… Wow. Seriously.
Sweet mother of Carmack! Did somebody say gaming on the PC was dead? Well, ok, I’ve been accused of saying that, but the flood of game titles has been on a tremendous decline since developers discovered that consoles print money. But I digress. So, what are the PC hardware manufacturers doing [...]
Sims going online again?

But even so, they are considering bringing online features back to the series, according to a Times Online interview with Nancy Smith (head of EA’s Sims division). The [...]
Getting ahead of themselves: Take Two announces Bioshock 3?
That’s right. According to Ars Technica, Strauss Zelnick, the chairman at Take Two got a bit carried away during a conference call and consequentially let it slip that Take Two would be producing a Bioshock 3.
The comment was made in regards to the release of the planned Bioshock movie. Zelnick said that the movie [...]
Duke Nukem Forever gameplay
Just when we had all forgotten about 3D-Realms long awaited project, late last year they sprung a teaser trailer re-igniting interest in Duke Nukem Forever, and subsequently decade old forum jokes. Now though, adding fuel to the fire of a prospective 2008 release, gameplay footage has surfaced.
Unexpectedly the thanks goes to Jace Hall, CEO of [...]
Team Fortress 2 Update: Pyro achievements coming down the pipe
Team Fortress 2 has been building momentum since their newest update. To add more fuel to the fire (pun greatly intended), Valve has announced their follow up achievement and weapons pack. This time around everyone’s favorite incendiary class, the Pyro, is getting the upgrade.
Though we have yet to receive word on what acts the [...]
Dead Space: EA’s best looking new IP
Fittingly set for release on Halloween of this year, Dead Space is looking very promising. Mixing the third-person survival horror of the Silent Hill series with the sci-fi aesthetic and action of Doom, as well as the promise of zero-gravity gameplay, things are shaping up nicely for this big budget title. Sure it’s not the [...]
