EA’s Project Ten Dollar marches on
May 11th
I expect this is what Project Ten Dollar’s next phase will look like. “Gimme the cassshhh!” Project Ten Dollar, for those of you who don’t know, is the name of EA’s master plan to take more of your money. At its inception, the basic premise was this: if you buy a game new, you get [...]
We just stole your editor. How you like them apples?
Apr 26th
One of the founders of IGN and long time Nintendo reviewer Matt Casamassina has stated on his blog that, after 13 years of service, he is leaving IGN to join up with Apple as their “Global Editorial Games Manager”. If you’re as confused by that title as I was, here’s a snippet of his description [...]
British Government Right Keen on Game Industry
Apr 20th
To any readers interested in the audio bidness, I recommend looking into a subscription to Audio Media. Not only do I recommend this because it’s free (it was when I first subscribed, at least), but it provides some good reads on a wide variety of audio topics, including music recording, post production, broadcast and, on [...]
I Just Don’t Know What to Think Anymore, EA
Mar 22nd
Dear EA, I’ve been over this before: in the past two decades or so, you’ve confused the crap out of me. I’ve loved you, I’ve hated you, I’ve nothinged you. Now, just as you’re starting to move pretty solidly back into gamers’ collective good graces, you get fast and furious with some pretty serious mixed [...]
Bad Company 2 continues its not-so-covert war against Modern Warfare 2 with map pack announcement
Mar 16th
DICE have taken every opportunity to capitalize on the mistakes made by Activision and Infinity Ward with regard to Modern Warfare 2. From their timely announcement that Bad Company 2 would be using dedicated servers right down to the language on the game’s info page (emphasis mine): All of [Bad Company 2's] features combine to [...]
Activision vs. Infinity Ward and the Future of Call of Duty
Mar 3rd
Yesterday, it was reported that Infinity Ward’s CEO and CTO (Vince Zampella and Jason West, respectively) left the company under fairly unclear circumstances. All we knew was the following: Activision’s human resources department had concluded an investigation into claims of “breaches of contract and insubordination by two senior employees at Infinity Ward” and that the [...]
Team Fortress 2: Engineer Unlocks still up in the air
Mar 3rd
For those TF2 fans out there, thought I’d share the latest news from over at Valve regarding their last round of unlocks to be released. All classes in the game have received their new weapons and gadgets save for one class, the Engineer, and the developers over at Valve have been hard at work for [...]
Battlefield Bad Company 2 Servers Down after only 7hrs 30min… and now back up!!
Mar 2nd
Servers on East Coast were up at 1am today and, now at 9:30pm, they are down. It appears to be a authentication server issue. No update on Battlefield blog yet. Waiting for a word from them. UPDATE: And just like that they are back up, 10 min later. A delightful hiccup. Although I’m sure EA [...]
Trouble In Paradise: Activision Ousts At Least One Infinity Ward Boss, Tim Schafer Still Awesome [UPDATED]
Mar 2nd
Rumors are flying about some serious drama going down between Activision and prized developer Infinity Ward. Beginning with a post from G4′s news outlet The Feed, it appeared as though nobody at Infinity Ward had seen or heard from studio heads Vince Zampella (CEO) and Jason West (CTO) since a meeting with Activision that took [...]
Plants vs. Zombies shambles to the top of the App Store.
Mar 2nd
Back when I started playing Plants vs. Zombies, I remember one of my first thoughts being, “Wow, this is an incredible game!” but hot on the heels of that revelation was “Wow, I should be playing this on the iPhone!” Well, even though it took a little over 9 months to figure out, creator Pop [...]
