In honour of "Safer Internet Day" (whatever the heck that is) Xbox Live’s general manager Alex Garden took to Major Nelson’s blog to make a statement about Xbox Live and its recent security woes. He says users need to be mindful of the information they give out on the internet - but curiously doesn’t actually mention the problem, defending the service’s security measure."Last year, there was a surge of personal information being ...

Yesterday, Geoff spoke about how no one wanted to make a sequel to that beloved Tim Schafer creation, Psychonauts. It’s a crying shame too, because the game was one of the most original and fun titles to appear on the PS2, and despite it not really raking in any cash, it still managed to become a cult hit over the years.
According to Schafer, who’s tried ... [»]
Earlier this week, a developer for Volition ranted about how the rumoured pre-played games lock in the next generation Xbox was a fantastic idea. It’s not. CD Projekt, the guys behind The Witcher have once again spoken sense, saying it "can be ... [»]

I’m a little obsessed with the Skylanders franchise and I think that may be because I have 2 small children who love them and the fact that it’s the first real videogame / toy crossover that I’ve ever seen that I feel should work. I’ve chatted to the ... [»]

We’ve heard rumours before that the studio behind the phenomenally awesome LittleBigPlanet title were going to release a clone of Mario Kart but in all honesty I didn’t want to believe it. I can understand cloning a great Wii game and cashing in on the easy sales but ... [»]

When 2K games announced last year that they were publishing a sequel to the well-received video game adaptation of Top Cow’s The Darkness comics, the news that original developer Starbreeze had been replaced by Dark Sector developer Digital Extremes, the reactions were twofold; disappointment that Starbreeze was no longer involved, but also hope. Hope that the sequel would keep the dark, gritty atmosphere and ... [»]
I don’t know if you played Psychonauts, the platformer from Tim Schafer’s Double Fine - but you should have. Though it’s admittedly a little overrated (especially when seen through rose-tinted nostalgia glasses), it’s a wonderful, deliciously funny and story-laden puzzle platformer. People have been begging Tim Schaefer for a ... [»]

You’d think that Lucasarts would be keen to have cranked out more sequels for one of their few successful Star Wars games, but its been over six years now since Battlefront ... [»]
Rumour and speculation say that the next Xbox will feature some sort of system to lock new games to a single account - effectively shutting the doors on pre-owned game sales. It’s a rumour that’s easy to believe, because publishers are already trying to curb 2nd hand game sales through the use of online passes. At least one developer thinks it’s a wonderful idea, saying that gamers don’t understand how much the pre-owned market hurts developers. ... [»]
For Some, the first Mass Effect had just too much RPG, while others loved tinkering with stats, long inventories, armour and weapon upgrades. Mass Effect 2 was different; it was more of a shooter, eschewing much of the fiddly RPG mechanics in favour of pure action. That, understandably, upset fans of the first, while making a bunch of new ones. So how does Bioware keep everybody happy with the third game? ... [»]
