Valve won't develop for PS3 because it's too hard

Homer Simpson once said, “You tried your best and failed miserably. The lesson is: never try.” Valve must take that second part—“never try”—pretty seriously, since it told some dude at E3 that it has no interest in developing for the PS3. Reason being? It’s too hard. Fair enough. → Read More

E3 2009: APB cinematic trailer

We’ve got to run to the Ubisoft event, but the last thing up from the EA press conference is this cinematic trailer for their new semi-MMO sandbox-style crime game. You and 99 other people, slugging it out cops and robbers style.

Damn, we gotta book. Watch the trailer. → Read More

E3 2009: Brutal Legend trailer (with Jack Black cameo)

When I first saw the poster, I kind of thought Brutal Legend was going to be like Guitar Hero with blood and guts… but it actually looks to be a pretty fun-looking third person action romp. Plus it’s got the voice talents of Jack Black, Ozzy Osborne, and other legends of rock, so you know it’s at least going to be… well, I guess you don’t really know anything at all. But watch the trailer and… → Read More

E3 2009: The Saboteur gameplay footage

Fresh from EA’s press conference, we’ve got hot footage of The Saboteur, with the titular character racing around in a black & white Paris and blowing up Nazis. It’s kind of like Grand Theft Auto meets Hitman meets Sin City. Let’s hope it’s as good as any of those. The city itself isn’t always monochrome; it colors up as you free the sections of the city from Nazi occupation. Lots of brothels… → Read More

Should we wave goodbye to buying video games at retail?

Is it to early to proclaim—loudly, as you do—the practice of buying video games at retail dead? Yes, it probably is too early; yet we continue. Microsoft’s announcement today that it will make available, sometime this year, full retail games available for download via Xbox Live, may well be more important than Project Natal, or “Project Christmas” as I like to call it. (All those… → Read More

What to expect from E3 2009?

Yes, it’s true. Peter and Devin and Greg, I think, are in Los Angeles for E3 2009. It’s an exciting time for us all, especially those of us who won’t be spending the next three (?) days fighting crowds and lines for the privilege of taking a few seconds of Shaky Cam footage of some generic first-person shooter. But enough of that, let’s stay positive—it’s E3! And this year, it’s the real E3… → Read More

E3 2009 coverage starts tomorrow

Time sure does fly. It’s been a whole year since Devin and I popped our E3 cherries and we find ourselves back in LA for what is expected to be a return to glory for the Electronic Entertainment Expo. Not much going on today except for a few parties, but I did pass the convention center on my way to the hotel and noticed that Ubisoft and Sony dropped crazy money on signage. → Read More
