The Bourne Conspiracy Impressions

I'm sure by now most of you are familiar with the genius cell phone PR stunt that Sierra threw together for the upcoming Bourne Conspiracy game. While it was cool, the real question is, how was the game? I met with some of the developers from High Moon Studios to check out the game being played and get some explanation of was all about.

The Bourne Conspiracy is somewhat an amalgamation of the three Bourne films although the books are used as reference pretty heavily. You'll find no Matt Damon character models here! They really wanted to make this as entrenched in the Bourne lore as possible and as such there is very little gunplay involved. You must rely on your McGuyver like wits to help you make your way through the game, using the things you can find around you and your trusty fists to their greatest use. Remember that pen stabbing scene?

Savage 2 Enters Beta

S2 Games is developing and publishing the sequel to their ambitious online action RTS , Savage: The Battle for Newearth independently, so the sequel will go into beta when they say so. They say so. Savage 2: A Tortured Soul is now entering the beta testing stage for pre-order customers. What this means is that if you put money down on the game, you'll get a chance to participate in the final testing stages before release. This isn't a try before you buy situation at all - you pay full price and commit to buy the game upon release, going on to help them tune the game for the general public. An odd sort of arrangement, but with S2's focus on community involvement, not a surprising one. They want committed fans with an interest in seeing Savage 2 be the best it can be. I'm just glad the game is nearing release, as I've been looking forward to it since GDC back in March. More »

Buka Unleashes The Swarm

I am really liking what I am seeing coming out of Russian publisher Buka. First the reveal the human hunting game The Hunt, the very concept of which gives me chills, and now they unleash The Swarm, a 3rd person action adventure title that places you as a survivor of an alien invasion in post-apocalyptic Moscow. Start off as a normal human who slowly assimilates alien abilities and characteristics, becoming something entirely different and infinitely more dangerous. The game promises huge aliens and an eerily accurate modeling of Moscow in demolished form. With two intriguing game concepts announced in the span of a week, Buka looks to be coming out in a big way. They've definitely got my attention.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII: Trailer

This Jump Festa-era trailer for the upcoming action RPG and fourth entry in the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII series shows off tons of gameplay along with the usual Final Fantasy theatrics. Exposition abounds, in Japanese of course, and Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII will surely lead to massive sales and new contenders for upcoming GameFAQs polls. We're also sure it will spawn loads of new homoerotic fanfics starring Sephiroth and SOLDIER members Zack and Cloud. We have so much to look forward to! Michael McWhertor More »

Clip: Human Pole Position

Filmmaker Guillaume Reymond from NotsoNoisy.com has impressed us before with his amazing live action, stop action animation hybrids. So far, his "Game Over" video series has included such classics as Space Invaders and Pong. Now Reymond brings us his version of Pole Position. It was created the same way the other two were, using real people sitting in a large theater to create the illusion of the pixelated graphics. Pretty great stuff, especially when the lights go out.

Amazing Custom Gears of War Figure

Emilio Lopez, the artist for a webcomic called Terranova, created this custom Gears of War action figure to give to his cousin for Christmas.
He started with a Munny do-it-yourself action figure from Kid Robot, added paint and Sculpy, and even created a custom box to create a toy I'd be proud to spend money on. Not for sale unfortunately, but you can certainly pick up a Munny or two yourself and have a go at it. Check the link below for the full process, from sketch to completion. Amazing work!
