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.
A post apocalyptic world houses Naughty Dog's latest creation.
Tonight at the VGAs, The Last of Us from Sony was officially revealed. While information has been leaking all week, the big reveal is that Naughty Dog is behind the game. Set in a post apocalyptic world, a seeming father and daughter are struggling to survive as they are hunted by some sort of creatures that could potentially be otherwordly.
A blue shell at the finish line knocks it out of first, but you can't complain about finishing in the top three.
After seven entries, it's perfectly understandable to start feeling the fatigue of any series, especially one like Mario Kart where very little changes from entry to entry. However, it's hard to ignore excellence. While Mario Kart 7 is only slightly different, it's so well-executed it should not be overlooked.
The new dashboard obscures the community made titles and hinders their associated abilities.
Now that the new Xbox 360 Dashboard is live, reports are coming in that the new features of the dashboard do not extend to Xbox Live Indie Games. Both beacons and cloud storage saves aren't supported for these titles and unlike both Arcade and retail releases, these do not show up under the New Release section, making them somewhat hidden from view.
The first week of the second crew of the PixlTalk podcast debuts, complete with Vita whining and a hodgepodge of topics to conclude the show.
As hinted at a couple episodes ago, PixlTalk is going weekly once again. Rather than hearing the same crew every week, each crew will occupy alternating weekly time slots and tonight's episode is the first from the second crew. While Julian will ultimately take over the hosting duties, for this week previous podcast regulars Nick, Chessa, and Jason help break him into his new podcasting role.
Confirmed: navigating 3D space with Kinect is miserable.
Without ever having been to Disneyland, I can only assume that Frontier has done a spectacular job recreating the iconic park. The virtual representation of the park seems to have everything covered, straight down to themed garbage cans, benches, and vending carts. Despite all the effort, it's held back at every turn by the peripheral that should be immersing you. The fact of the matter is, the Kinect controls are cumbersome and unnecessary and often just don’t work right.
Why Mario Kart 7 has me down.
Well, it's official, snaking is officially gone from the Mario Kart series. After Mario Kart Wii, it was up in the air if future iterations would provide players with such ability, but it appears Mario Kart 7 solidifies the permanent omission. As an advocate of snaking, this is a sad day.
That's right, we want you!

Falling somewhere between Mega Man and Metroid, this indie 2D adventure must be something to behold, right?
I'm ashamed to admit it, but until now, I've never played Cave Story. Not for free on the PC, nor for the low price of admission on the Wii or the DSi. It's always interested me, but I just never got around to playing it. Cave Story 3D has changed that for me, but in retrospect, I don't feel as if I was missing all that much. Unquestionably, Cave Story is a solid game and that's made all the more impressive by the fact that a single man, Daisuke Amaya, created the game himself. While impressive, this doesn't make up for the fact that the game is a bit rough around the edges.
We have a copy of Snowblind Studios' latest to give away to one dedicated reader.
It's not everyday that PixlBit has the opportunity to run a contest, but we were lucky enough to receive a copy of The Lord of the Rings: War in the North on the PlayStation 3 to give away. If you haven't been keeping up, Jesse Miller reviewed the game favorably, awarding it three and a half stars earlier last month. In order to win this solid and likely overlooked game, you don't have to do too much.
