If you are any bit like me then the mid-season finale of Battlestar Galactica left me craving more and stunned me at the news of a 2009 return. Such high-calibur stories are amazing to watch and reflect the incredible talent behind their authors and should spark interest in their other projects.
Like this one. Randy Pitchford, head of Gearbox Software (Brothers In Arms, Borderlands) announced today in an interview with Shacknews that writers David Weddle and Bradley Thompson co-wrote the story for Aliens: Colonial Marines during the writers strike (which didn’t effect writers for video games) which is reported to be so strong a script that they could “make a whole season of TV with the stuff they gave us.”
In other news, I appologize for my absence as of late but I’m back and raring to go. Look for some great reviews coming in the future!
Three years ago Monolith Productions, previously known for a diverse set of titles ranging from The Matrix Online to No One Lives Forever, released two games near simultaneously of which both utilized similar resources and themes while at the same time being quite different in style and approach. While the more successful title of the two, F.E.A.R., went in the more traditional FPS direction with a complete focus on gunplay the other, Condemned: Criminal Origins, went in a direction that is rarely utilized in games to a successful level: FPS meele combat. Condemned 1 was a sleeper hit as a Xbox 360 launch title and its sequel has a lot to live up to. But does it? Read on and find out…
If you’re on your way to hell right now like I am you might want to grab a jacket, as today’s announcement from 3D Realms in the Dallas Business Journal is predicting a heavy cold front down there. Yes, unbelieveable as it may sounds, 3D Realms’ president Scott Miller announced that Duke Nukem Forever, the title that is taking forever, will be released on the PC, Xbox 360, and Playstation 3 this year.
In addition to this Miller also confirmed that the original Duke Nukem 3D will be getting a release as well this year on the Xbox Live Arcade with online multiplayer, scoreboards, and a co-op mode. Here’s hoping they don’t censor it as badly as I expect they will.
UPDATE: Reports from ShackNews say that 3D Realms is contradicting the Miller statements. An official announcement will probably be posted later today.
