The 3 Best And Worst 3DS Games From Nintendo's Event
Posted 1/20/11 12:23 pm ET by Russ Frushtick in 3DS / DS, Previews
Yesterday I had the chance to test out around 14 games at Nintendo's big 3DS event. While the hardware certainly has a "wow factor," it's the software that's going to convince people to throw down $249.99 on March 27. So were there games that will sell the system? And which are the games to avoid like the plague? Don't worry, I'm here to help.
Behold The 'StarCraft' Equivalent of Deep Blue
Posted 1/20/11 11:19 am ET by Adam Rosenberg in News, PC
"StarCraft" is insanely popular for a reason. Developer Blizzard crafted what many consider to be the perfect real-time strategy experience, with three perfectly balanced factions waging war and a robust AI engine that is capable of effectively juggling the array of options available to human players. That's how most of us see it anyway. The AI is no match for the world's top players, and that's where the StarCraft AI Competition comes in. This year, a group of students at UC Berkeley took the top prize for giving top human contenders a non-human foe to sweat about with their ominously named Berkeley Overmind.
Why You Won't Be Using The Nintendo 3DS D-Pad Very Often
Posted 1/19/11 5:19 pm ET by Russ Frushtick in 3DS / DS, Previews
I realized something interesting at today's extensive Nintendo 3DS hands-on event. It's something that didn't occur to me when testing out the tech demos at last E3, and it's something that probably won't occur to you until you get your own hands on the device. See that d-pad, right below the analog stick on the left side of the 3DS? You really, really don't want to be using that very much. Here's why.
'Killzone 3' To Include 'SOCOM 4' Multiplayer Beta Access
Posted 1/19/11 5:00 pm ET by Adam Rosenberg in News, PS3
"Killzone 3" is out on February 22, and even if you're already sold on bringing the fight back to the Helghast, Sony is still working to add more value to your purchase. You hear that? Even if you don't want free crap, free crap is exactly what you're going to get. Only this isn't crap. It's access to the "SOCOM 4" multiplayer beta.
'Fable' Creator Peter Molyneux Unlocks Lifetime Achievement Award
Posted 1/19/11 4:48 pm ET by Adam Rosenberg in News
"Fable" creator Peter Molyneux is pretty well-known in the gaming community for his tendency to speak hyperbolically and tease ideas that don't always deliver. Fortunately, "Fable" is one of his biggest ideas, and it has delivered over the course of three Xbox/Xbox 360 console releases, each of which improves on its predecessor. Between that series, not to mention "Syndicate," "Black & White," "Populous" and "Theme Park," it should come as no surprise to learn that the longtime developer of original games is being honored at this year's Game Developer's Conference with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
Bizarre Creations Gets Closure Recommendation From Activision
Posted 1/19/11 4:47 pm ET by Adam Rosenberg in News
It's always sad to see a video game development studio close up shop, especially when said developer has been a uniquely creative force within the industry. Yet that's exactly what seems to be happening with "Project Gotham Racing" and "Geometry Wars" developer Bizarre Creations.
Nintendo 3DS Launch Games List Offers Variety, Lacks Zelda And Kid Icarus
Posted 1/19/11 2:44 pm ET by Russ Frushtick in 3DS / DS, News
Today unleashed many theretofore unknown details on the launch of the Nintendo 3DS, including the price ($249) the release date (March 27, 2011) and the list of launch games. Well, "launch window" games. We're not clear on the games that'll be available right at the system's launch, but Nintendo did release a list of games that'll release sometime between March 27 and the start of E3 in early June. Apparently that list will include at least 30 games, but right now, Nintendo is only confirming the following:
'Gears Of War: Exile' Trademarked, Logo'd
Posted 1/19/11 12:28 pm ET by Adam Rosenberg in News, Xbox 360
All right. You know about "Gears of War Triple Pack." And you damn sure know about "Gears of War 3," and the upcoming beta access to it offered with every purchase of Epic Games' "Bulletstorm." Sooooo... what in the heck is "Gears of War: Exile"???
