DICE Pledges To Keep 'Battlefield' Map Packs Free
Posted 3/31/10 6:43 pm ET by Brian Warmoth in News, PC, PS3, Xbox 360
DICE and EA continued their march to take on "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" with a direct response to Infinity Ward and Activision's $15 Stimulus Package that launched this week. Now, in addition to lampooning their competition's marketing and pledging not to block party chat, DICE has gone on record to say that map packs for their titles will remain free.
'Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions' Webbed For September 2010 Release
Posted 3/31/10 4:47 pm ET by Brian Warmoth in News
"Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions" unmasked its title earlier this month on a GamePro cover, but all kinds of details became official this week, including the game's September 2010 release date and the role of "Amazing Spider-Man" comics writer Dan Slott, who'll be leveraging David Hine's 2008-2009 "Spider-Man Noir" mini-series to show off an edgier version of the iconic hero.
Exclusive: Magic Johnson And Larry Bird Confirmed For 'NBA Jam'
Posted 3/31/10 3:13 pm ET by Russ Frushtick in Exclusives, Interviews, Video, Wii
You probably already know that there's a new "NBA Jam" coming for the Wii. If you don't, hit that link for some hands-on impressions of the game.
It seems that a lot of effort is being focused on bringing "old school" gamers back to the franchise, and, in order to do that, you'll need old school players. Enter Magic Johnson and Larry Bird.
In an interview with the "NBA Jam" creative director, Trey Smith, I asked about some of the modes in the game. In describing one such mode, Classic Campaign, Smith let slip that the tournament-style mode will culminate with a legendary game against two of the NBA's greats: Johnson and Bird.
'FarmVille' Addiction Now Accessible Via Browser Toolbar
Posted 3/31/10 2:00 pm ET by Brian Warmoth in News, PC
"FarmVille" addiction is officially recognized by Dr. Phil, and a new browser toolbar now makes that addiction accessible as frequently as you open your web browser. The toolbar's developer, Conduit Ltd., created a customizable platform that allows publishers and users on "Farmville," as well as other games, to create tailored feeds about how long they have to get back to their crops or whatever their gaming labor of choice involves.
'Modern Warfare 2' Getting Stimulus Package Playlists And Double XP Later Today
Posted 3/31/10 1:50 pm ET by Russ Frushtick in News, Xbox 360
After some technical difficulties with the Stimulus Package map pack for "Modern Warfare 2," players were finally able to hop online yesterday and experience what their $15 got them. Players interested in just playing the new maps on a variety of playlists will get just that later today, as Robert Bowling, creative strategist for Infinity Ward, tweeted that Stimulus Package-specific playlists are on the way:
'Linkin Park 8-Bit Rebellion' Bringing The Band On Tour To iPhones
Posted 3/31/10 11:30 am ET by Brian Warmoth in News, iPhone / iPad
Linkin Park joins the ranks of REO Speedwagon's "Find Your Own Way Home" and Aerosmith's "Revolution X" with their upcoming iPhone release "Linkin Park 8-Bit Rebellion." Judging from the trailer, I don't see too much visually that's demonstrably 8-bit per se, but if you've been looking for "the only iPhone app game that turns Linkin Park's world into your gaming reality" as you "do your part to help some stop Pixxelkorp's evil HD empire from taking over Linkin Park's old school 8-bit world," this game will be for you. The new title from Artificial Life also contains an exclusive track called "Blackbirds," which should sweeten the deal for fans.
'Super Street Fighter 4' Box Art Swaps Cammy For Dudley
Posted 3/31/10 11:00 am ET by Brian Warmoth in News, PS3, Xbox 360
Amid busily acting out Ultra Combos, stuffing items into the "Super Street Fighter 4" Dojo Edition and stitching together some new costumes, the game's team at Capcom still found time to redesign their box art. Cammy got Tiger Uppercutted out of the picture for the final edition which instead features the series' British boxer Dudley. Juri and Chun-Li, meanwhile, traded sides on the top half, leaving Ryu in his rightful place of prominence.
'WarioWare D.I.Y.' Review - If It's Bad It's Your Own Fault
Posted 3/31/10 10:30 am ET by Jason Cipriano in 3DS / DS, Reviews
Wario has been around in the Nintendo universe for just about 18 years now, and has his own mini-game series for the last seven. It's safe to say that he's a star in his own right, even if he is a big fan of garlic and passing gas, but apparently he's important enough to be the face of one of this year's most innovative titles, "WarioWario D.I.Y." Like the other games in the series this "D.I.Y." revolves around mini-games, but not in the way that you may be thinking.
THQ's fighting game agreements already encompass an eight-year agreement with WWE and a successful annual franchise in the UFC Undisputed games. That family will grow when they announce a new game from a "major developer" at E3 this year, though the title and property have not yet been divulged.
'Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker' Launches Pushed To June For U.K., Europe And U.S.
Posted 3/30/10 5:35 pm ET by Brian Warmoth in News, PSP
Hideo Kojima may have said that delaying a game is the greatest crime a game developer can commit, but "Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker" has now drifted away from May 25th to a June 8th release in the U.S. European and U.K. delays have followed suit, and the U.K. will be last in line, almost two months after "Peace Walker" hits Asia.
