'APB' Bought And Getting Refitted With Free-To-Play Model
Posted 11/16/10 11:00 am ET by Brian Warmoth in News, PC
All of the investment and creative energy that Realtime Worlds put into their MMO "APB" may still live on, despite the fact that the company went belly up and had to shut down their servers relatively soon after the game's launch earlier this year. Publisher GamersFirst has announced that they've acquired "APB" via their subsidiary Reloaded Productions, and they plan on relaunching the title as "APB: Reloaded" in 2011 using a free-to-play/micro-transaction business model.

Posted 11/15/10 6:13 pm ET by Brian Warmoth in News, iPhone / iPad
"Street Fighter 4" has continued to welcome additional characters since it first appeared on the iPhone, and it looks like it's about to receive one or two new challengers, as well as a local match making upgrade.
'Marvel Vs. Capcom 3' Welcomes She-Hulk And Zero
Posted 11/15/10 5:47 pm ET by Brian Warmoth in News, PS3, Xbox 360
When you've got more than 30 fighters in your game like "Marvel vs. Capcom 3" does, you can afford to string your reveals out over many, many months. This week, keeping with the tradition of breaking out one Marvel face for every Capcom entrant, Capcom's let loose some videos of She-Hulk and Zero.
'Diablo 3' Being Developed For Consoles
Posted 11/15/10 4:27 pm ET by Russ Frushtick in Mac, News, PC, PS3, Xbox 360
"World of WarCraft" and "StarCraft" are all well and good, but when it comes to Blizzard games that really pinch my joy nerve, that pleasure is reserved for a little series known as "Diablo." Ever since the launch of "Diablo 3," every time I've met with the guys at Blizzard, I've asked them one recurring question: Is it coming to consoles? They've always been cagey, but the last time I spoke with Rob Pardo, the Executive Vice President of Game Design at Blizzard, he said that "Diablo" would be the easiest of their franchises to bring to the console marketplace. And now it seems that they're going through with it!
'Prince Of Persia: Trilogy HD' Coming To North America, Just Not On Blu-ray
Posted 11/15/10 4:00 pm ET by Brian Warmoth in News
Just because that "Prince of Persia: Trilogy" HD collection on Blu-ray is exclusive to Europe doesn't mean that gamers in North America are getting left in the dust. We'll still get to swing scimitars optimized for 720p displays. We're just going to have to buy the games digitally.
'Transformers: War For Cybertron' Sequel Confirmed For 2012
Posted 11/15/10 3:23 pm ET by Brian Warmoth in News
Activision and Hasbro have now moved passed the stage of talking to each other about doing a "Transformers: War for Cybertron" sequel and are now ready to talk to to the general public about it; or at least Hasbro is. In addition to unloading a "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" game to coincide with Michael Bay's third TF movie in 2011 and an MMO from NetDragon, a "War for Cybertron" follow-up will be scheduled to drop in 2012.
Just when you thought Sir Ben Kingsley and his fellow "Fable 3" cast members were living happily ever after on your Xbox 360, Lionhead Studios has laid out plans for three more quests in their Understone Quest Pack. And as it turns out, the new adventures take place right beneath the streets of Bowerstone where you've been hanging out all along.
'Call Of Duty: Black Ops' - Zombies Mode Survival Guide
Posted 11/15/10 11:37 am ET by Adam Rosenberg in Features, PC, PS3, Xbox 360
Treyarch brought back their much-loved zombie survival mode from 2008's "Call of Duty: World at War" for their just-released latest entry in the series, "Black Ops." For a first-time player, the rules seem simple enough: gun down wave after wave of the walking dead through a series of barriers, fixing entry points as needed and doing your best not to end the day passing through whatever functions as a digestive tract in an animated corpse. As anyone who embraced the mode in "World at War" knows however, if you start a Zombies match without a rough strategy for survival in your head, making it to double-digit rounds becomes a remote possibility.
This guide is for those who are just starting out with Zombies and want a little bit of an extra edge. What follows are some general strategies for surviving the onslaught as well as map-specific tips for the two new areas featured in "Black Ops."
Kino Der Toten -- Map-Specific Strategies
"Five" -- Map-Specific Strategies
"Ascension" -- Map-Specific Strategies
iTunes Mystery Announcement Coming Tomorrow
Posted 11/15/10 11:26 am ET by Russ Frushtick in News, Tech, iPhone / iPad
Update: Apparently The Beatles catalog will be available on iTunes, which is what the announcement was about. Oops.
Oh, Apple. It seems like every two weeks they've got a new doodad or thingamagibbit that's going to make your day a bit brighter, and tomorrow is no different. The official Apple site is teasing an iTunes announcement which seems to have something to do with clocks.
You may recall that Apple's had some issues with clocks in the last few weeks. iPhone and iPod Touch alarm clocks, for example, sorta forgot to adjust for daylight savings time, which resulted in millions of people showing up late for work all over the world. It was dubbed "The Day The People Slept In" by, well, me. Seems that this is the sorta thing that could be fixed with an iTunes update of iOS. Perhaps the launch of iOS 4.2, which has already entered Gold Master?
'Civilization Network' Likes 2011 for a Facebook Launch
Posted 11/12/10 6:29 pm ET by Brian Warmoth in Mac, News, PC
"FarmVille" is just going to seem trivial when Sid Meier finally launches his Facebook-based "Civilization Network" next year. I mean, plowing a field is great, but advancing a whole people on past the Bronze Age and creating the Lascaux cave paintings makes discovering a cow look mighty unimportant in the scheme of things. The game is still in production, but Take-Two has reportedly committed to a 2011 release.
