At this year’s Gamescom gaming expo in Germany, EA and DICE are bringing a Mig-21 to the Battlefield 3 booth. They used a red semi-truck!

Final Fantasy Versus XIII was first unveiled at the E3 gaming expo in 2006. It’s now 2011, and the game is not out. To be fair, Square Enix said in 2006 that it had not yet begun work on the game. But by late 2009, Square Enix was showing gameplay footage of the title. Square…

The people who make Gears of War (and Unreal Tournament, Infinity Blade) also have a “new unannounced IP in development” at its North Carolina HQ, according to a gameplay programmer job opening. Surprising? Not really. But intriguing? Oh yes!
When Grand Theft Auto IV came out, I was swept away. The scope, depth, and scale of the game were almost too much to take in. It seemed like a game in which anything was possible, like a parallel reality, re-created. Three years, two expansions, and countless hours of vehicular manslaughter have provided some much-needed…

I’m fine with that. But I didn’t notice until I was looking at Nintendo’s new Zelda history chart…
