Space Marines don't have prejudice. They kill everyone equally.
TimeGate studios decided to release Section 8: Prejudice, their sequel to Section 8, as a downloadable game instead of a full retail offering and it feels like a wise choice.
Is Nintendo planning to release a smaller, cheaper Wii?
I have a secret. I believe something about the Wii no one else is talking about. Everyone is busy buzzing about the next Nintendo console. All anyone has to do is mention a “Wiiii,” “Stream,” or even just the “Wii HD,” and people go absolutely crazy over controller designs, console designs, rumored upcoming titles, rumored developers, and all of that. My secret is different. See, I believe we're going to see a Wii-make of the Wii pretty soon. And yes, that's the last time I'll use the “Wii-make” pun.
While a remake, this solid tactics game is one that fans of the genre shouldn't miss.
Tactics Ogre is what you might call a “Tactics RPG.” This means that it’s like an RPG in every way except that battles occur on a pseudo-3D grid. If you’ve ever played Final Fantasy Tactics you’ll know what to expect. I’ve even seen an ad for Tactics Ogre that explicitly said “from the creators of Final Fantasy Tactics.” It’s practically a sequel. Right off the bat I can tell you that if you like that game, you’re definitely going to like this one.
A recent update on the PlayStation Blog offers up more bad news to Sony console owners.
Today, Patrick Seybold, Senior Director of Corporate Communications & Social Media confirmed that the PSN outage will continue indefinitely. While the team has been working feverishly to bring things back online, according to Seybold, the process is "time insensitive." The outage disables players from going online in any capacity and has disabled some online-heavy games in the process. Sony is also currently investigating possible credit card theft after their system was recently compromised.
Let's take a look at 01net.com's (the originator of the Project Cafe name rumor) other claims and see what else might be true.
Now that the Project Cafe rumor has been given some solid footing, it's worth taking a look at the origin of the leak and what else has been said about Nintendo's upcoming system. 01net.com was the original source on the story and with the release of the name, they also announced a variety of other details, some of which are already lining up with Nintendo's official investor release.
Stay tuned for a special announcement about PixlBit, as well as your regularly scheduled content from the PixlTalk crew.
This week starts with a special site announcement delivered by Nick and Chessa, but is promptly followed by regular weekly discussion. Given the swirling rumors of the Wii successor, discussion of the upcoming system continued this week. What's now confirmed as Project Cafe is discussed in detail, as is the credibility of the various rumors that are floating around.
Images added to Nintendo's developer site also confirm the Project Cafe codename.
Today in Japan, via an investor memo attached to the fiscal earnings report, Nintendo confirmed a successor to the Wii. According to the memo, the system will be releasing in 2012, and will be shown in playable form at this year's E3. Though not announced in any official capacity, the codename, Project Cafe, has been given some credibility as well.
Update: A better Wii deal than we thought?
It appears to celebrate Easter, Toys R Us is offering a Friday and Saturday video game sale, among their other promotions. The Wii will also be on sale for $159.99, Toys 'R' Us's lowest advertised price, ever.
I'd rather ride the Dinosaur Train.
Imagine a world filled with dinosaurs. Dinosaurs with issues. Social hierarchies. Cliques, even. In this world, everything is awesome for all the dinosaurs involved. There's balance. The big, top-of-the-food chain dinosaurs, the scavengers and hunters, the plated dinos, those with armor on their back, and even the dinosaurs with horns are all awesome friends. One day, though, the Arkosaurus shows up. Meteors fall from the sky! Everyone gets cranky, and so it's time for a leader: one (or more) from each of the main dinosaur families fights his (or her?) way through the jungle and desert, taming their former friends for the chance to take on the Arkosaurus bully and bring peace back to some sort of misshapen globe.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Combat of Giants: Dinosaurs 3D.
Advent Children: The Game (feat. Kefka)
Dissidia 012, as you probably already know, is an RPG/fighting hybrid which pits characters from various Final Fantasy titles against each other. The deities Cosmos and Chaos have summoned all the greatest heroes and villains from the series to fight as their own personal armies, and the characters’ memories have been erased, so they don’t remember anything about their origins. It’s kind of depressing, actually.
