Mike Fahey — Tue, 04 May 2010 16:20:00 EDT

A Tour of NetDevil's Game Studio

Adam Barenblat — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 21:30:00 EDT

After Crecente and I got a good look at Jumpgate Evolution we convinced them to show us around the joint. The place is like Disneyland meets game development. It's a creative person's heaven. Basically their new studio is divided into two parts. Half of the building is dedicated to Lego Universe while the other half is of course, Jumpgate Evolution. There's also a Lego builders area containing millions of bricks - so the 3D artists can physically build their creations- before they input them into the computer. Last but not least, we got to see some of the insane LUPS (Lego Universe Partners) creations. Some of the projects consisted of thousands of Legos and must have taken days to build. More »

Sure it takes a little while to get started and eats up a lot of drive space, but other than that, the PlayStation 3 version of BioShock 3 looks amazingly similiar to the Xbox 360 version, as seen in this side by side comparision Game Videos slapped together. A few discrepancies here and there, but nothing like the glaring difference we saw way back when the PS3 first launched. We've come so far, haven't we? More »

Rise Of The Argonauts - Trial Of The Bull

Mike Fahey — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 13:20:00 EDT

In this short, Zeus tasks Jason with the retrieval of the Golden Bull, held captive by ancient warriors. While the animation is a bit crude, I really dig the atmosphere they're setting up for the game. More »

Baja: Edge of Control Diary Talks AI

Adam Barenblat — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 11:00:00 EDT

THQ's Developer Diary 6 focuses on the AI that Baja: Edge of Control needs to keep you fighting for position 1 again and again. Interestingly, your opponents will actually remember you based on your passing strategy. Let's say that you decided to be nice and honk your horn at them, they may move out of the way. If you hit them in back they might not be so forgiving next time. Add 3 hour long stretches of track and that sounds like one awesome Baja 1000 simulation. More »

A-Ha's Quake On Me

Luke Plunkett — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 01:30:00 EDT

More Quake mods! While that Simpsons one from the other day was admirable for its craftsmanship, this one is notable for its vision: a recreation of the style, if not the exact setting, of A-Ha's Take On Me video. Sadly, the vid cuts off before we get to see what must be an inevitable boss fight against those creepy blokes in motorcycle helmets, followed by a polygonal reunion with that girl with the awful hair.

New Fable II Dev Diary Emphasizes October

Mike Fahey — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 13:20:00 EDT

Leave it to the folks over at NeoGAF to ruin a perfectly pleasant developer diary with their keen eyes and unrelenting curiosity. This video is the 6th in a series of dev diaries released by Lionhead for Fable II, mainly dealing with the process of taking a character from concept art to living, breathing virtual human being. Perfectly enjoyable fluff until the GAFers step in and notice Peter Molyneux's notepad at around 40 seconds in. Along with some notes on fitting the game on a DVD and something about a Cliff, Peter writes the month October and places a box around it, leading to speculation that the game will be released that month.
