BioWare absorbs Command & Conquer developer
Victory Games, the studio formally responsible for the famous Command & Conquer series has been absorbed into BioWare to form BioWare Victory. This news follows on the heels of the official unveiling of BioWare’s next project at the 2011 Spike TV Video Game Awards – Command & Conquer Generals 2.
Beautiful graphics and interesting mechanics does not a good game make.
Xotic is a peculiar beast. Developer WXP Games has created something that’s somewhat hard to describe yet familiar when you actually play it. As the reviewer though, I need to do my best in doing so. Okay. Xotic (pronounced like exotic) is a first person shooter with an emphasis on scoring and clearing a level like that of a puzzle game. You are sent to stop the Orb, which is a being that evolved beyond its physical body and has gone mad and is now destroying planets. The way you accomplish this is by completing each level by destroying enemies, collecting power-ups and shooting orb plants in order to get a combo going and raise your high score. Despite impressive art design and surprisingly deep game mechanics, none of this actually melds into a cohesive whole and you’ll be left disappointed at a game that at first held promise but quickly grows frustrating.
Kojima also confirmed this title's place in the story arc.
Metal Gear Solid: Rising has been missing in action for over a year. Suddenly, at this past weekend's VGAs, it was revealed that the game now carries a new name, a new story, and a new developer. As it turns out, in the year the game has been missing, it has been through some extreme turmoil. For a brief time, it had been cancelled by Hideo Kojima.
Which breaks the entertainment record set by James Cameron's Avatar in 2009.
As expected, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has been a massive success for Activision. Like past installments, the game has grossed in the billions; however, Modern Warfare 3 has managed to reach the mark faster than any other. In just 16 days, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has made $1 billion. This surpasses a record set by James Cameron's 2009 film Avatar, which grossed $1 billion in 17 days. This data is according to Charttrack and retail customer information.
I can smell what THQ is cookin', but it needs a little more time in the oven.
I've basically been a wrestling fan three times in my life. When I was ten, I first discovered the (then) WWF, and loved to watch Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior, and "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka. I got pulled back in around 1998 with the release of WWF Warzone for the PSX, and came to enjoy The Rock, Triple H, and The Hurricane. Most recently I've gotten back into the wrestling scene, thanks to some entertaining people like John Morrison, Kofi Kingston, and CM Punk. So, while I haven't been a wrestling fan the entire time, I can appreciate what THQ has done with WWE All-Stars: a game that takes all of those eras and allows those wrestlers to go toe to toe.
Raiden's latest chapter will be even more over the top than expected.
At tonight's VGA awards, it was revealed that Metal Gear Solid Rising will now be known by a different name - Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. In addition to the name change, development was also handed to a different studio. Taking the helm is Platinum Games, known for their over the top style as demonstrated in Bayonetta, Vanquish, and Madworld.
Epic's new game is a radical departure with notes of Minecraft.
Cliffy B., from Epic Games, said that they were working on something radically different and at this year’s Spike TV Video Game Awards we got to see exactly what he meant by that when Fortnite was revealed to the world.
Bioware's latest is certainly a departure, but nothing along the lines of a new Uncharted-like game.
It appears we can put two rumors to bed. Command & Conquer Generals 2 is officially coming and it's also Bioware's brand new project - a departure from their typical RPG work. Not much else is known about the game right now, but more information is likely on the way in the upcoming week.
