Is I Am Alive, Well, Alive?
Ubisoft’s I Am Alive has long been a vapourware suspect, the length of time since we last heard anything about it leading some to suspect it had ended up on the development scrapheap. But now there’s this trailer… It’s turned up online overnight, and since it wasn’t mentioned during Ubisoft’s press event, it has me…

Driver Has an Out-of-Body Experience
Tanner’s back, and apparently he can release an astral projection. During Ubisoft’s press conference we learned of Driver: San Francisco‘s “Shift” feature, in which Tanner may float in suspended time from one car to another, continuing the action from it. Demonstrating the game, Ubisoft’s Martin Edmondson said that Tanner’s been involved in a terrible accident…

Lord Of The Rings: War In The North Is Cutting Throats, Taking Names
It’s a good thing Warner Bros. now owns the rights to both the Lord of the Rings books and movies. It means they can do stuff like this, which is a little bit of both. The “War in the North” is barely touched upon in either books or the films, but this game makes that…

Kinect Games Have Their Own Special Boxes
While the change to regular Xbox 360 cover art was a slight one, Microsoft has something a little more drastic in mind for Kinect games: purple boxes. Yes, breaking from a tradition that dates back to the launch of the original Xbox, Kinect titles won’t ship in Microsoft’s trademark green DVD case. They’ll instead ship…

Rumor: Sly Cooper, Patapon 3 & Twisted Metal X Coming To PS3
Don’t be surprised if a new Sly Cooper collection, a new Patapon and a not-so-new Twisted Metal game are announced for the PlayStation 3 in the coming weeks. A retail source points to all three titles coming soon. Now, none of that may actually come as a surprise, as it appears that Sony is counting…

Another World Creator Back With A New Game: Project Dust
Éric Chahi is famous for having single-handedly developed Another World, a 1991 platformer that was as gorgeous as it was atmospheric. This is his new game: Project Dust.

Castlevania HD Screens Are A Sight For Sore Eyes
I’ve never been the biggest fan of Castlevania series, but boy oh boy, these screenshots for the newly-confirmed Castlevania HD – as in, Harmony of Despair – are some of the most glorious examples of pixel art you’ll ever see. Let’s just hope they look as good in motion when the game’s released next month.

There Is A New Michael Jackson Game
The King of Pop Michael Jackson is no stranger to video games. Besides appearances in SEGA games like Space Channel 5 and Space Channel 5: Part 2, Jackson also had his own game Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker. That’s not all. Today, Ubisoft showed a new performance-based Jackson game. According to the publisher, the game puts players…

Ubisoft Releasing A Shooter That Uses Real Humans & Laser Guns
Battle Tag barely qualifies as a video game – it seems to have more in common with old “multimedia” board games like Nightmare – but hey, Ubisoft is releasing it, so here you go.

This Is The Old Republic’s Idea of Player Housing
Other massively multiplayer online games give players small houses or apartments to call their own. Star Wars: The Old Republic gives you an entire spaceship. EA’s press conference at E3 2010 wasn’t all that eventful from a Star Wars: The Old Republic point of view. They showed the newer trailer, off-handedly mentioned Alderaan as a…

Child Of Eden Is Basically Rez For The PlayStation Move, Kinect
Sega Rally creator Tetsuya Mizuguchi is probably most loved for his 2001 synaesthetic shooter, Rez. This is Child of Eden, which will be published by Ubisoft. Same guy, same game, just for the PlayStation Move and Kinect. I’m not reaching with that statement. Gameplay looks identical, and even sounds identical (listen closely for Rez’s targeting…

When Kinect is released in November, Microsoft will add a “Kinect Hub” to the dashboard to make better use of the controller.
