Archive for March 3rd, 2008It has been a while since my first cartoon, but I finally made a new one! This took me a good 4 days to make, and I’m glad to say that I’m very happy with how it turned out. This is a parody of Guitar Hero, and if you don’t know what that’s, you might be a little lost watching this. With this new cartoon, I would like to say that my future animations will be drawn like this. It i…
Filed under: News  While we’ve known that God of War III has been in development since Cory Barlog let it slip in early November, we haven’t heard anything about it since then. Now, IGN have spotted a teaser advert for the game on the back cover of God of War: Chains of Olympus‘ retail manual. Not only does it confirm the game’s existence for a second time, but it says that it will be “Coming Soon”. Considering that we weren’t expecting to see God of War III before 2009, we’re surprised that Sony are claiming that the game is coming “soon.” Does this mean that we could be getting two Kratos adventures this year? No doubt we’ll learn more later in the year at either Sony’s Gamer’s Day (whenever that lies this year) or at E3.

Rumor: White PS3s shipped, due out possibly in MarchPosted by: admin in Tech Gaming NewsFiled under: Rumors
Filed under: Interviews, e-Distribution Games  In an interview with PSP Fanboy, N+ creators Metanet confirmed a PSN version of N+ (recently released on Xbox 360) is definitely in the works. However, it will not appear on the service any time soon. “Yes, however due to an exclusivity clause in our XBLA contract, it may not be for a while.” A producer at Atari noted that they are excited to work on PSN in the future. He pointed out the freedom developers have to create games on the Network. “The PSN has fewer restrictions on their incoming content (likely because it’s struggling to catch up to the well-established XBLA) but again, on the PSN right now the indie designer has far more freedom to create the game that they envision, whatever the size and shape.” This kind of flexibility, we hope, is what will draw new exclusive content to the Network. We can’t wait.
So, basically, the building is getting sold but Sony is staying put. They would never leave the European market, especially since the latest figures indicate a 10% sales share in regards to the PS3. Sony is aiming to sell 5 or 6 million PS3’s by the end of 2008 and if this deal gives them some funds to make that goal reality, then more power to them. Filed under: Videos and Screenshots Here’s an interesting promotional vid for the upcoming PS3 shooter, Haze. Mantel, the corporation behind Nectar, is seen advocating the “Mantel difference.” It doesn’t take a genius to realize that these guys are creeps and totally “evil.” This video doesn’t reveal much about the upcoming game’s story, but it sets the tone for an impending release, doesn’t it?

Step up to the plate and dig in: MLB 2K8 has gone goldPosted by: admin in PS3 Game NewsIt’s that wonderful time of year again, my friends: spring training is under way, and anticipation for the 2008 baseball season is at a fever pitch. Right now, baseball’s 30 teams are warming up for the 162-game grind in sunny Florida and arid Arizona. Of course, it’s a blustery 20

MLB 2K8 soundtrack revealed, brings indie to the massesPosted by: admin in PS3 Game NewsIt’s time to put on your music critic caps, people: 2K Sports has just divulged the details on the seventeen-track song list for MLB 2K8. (The press release, including the full soundtrack, can be found after the jump.) This will give you a head start on getting to know the music that’ll quickly become entrenched in your brain, so much so that you’ll be screaming “CLEVELAND ROCKS” in your sleep. Or maybe that’s just me. 2K Sports teamed up with Pitchfork Media, an online music magazine that focuses on indie music, to choose the soundtrack. Pitchfork selected 7 of the 17 songs in the game, which are labeled as “Pitchfork Picks” (it’s got a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?). And in a further show of support for independent musicians, 2K Sports is going to join the 3rd Annual Pitchfork/Windish Agency day celebration at South by Southwest (SXSW) this year, a week of festivals and conferences that begins next weekend. As for the soundtrack itself, I didn’t recognize any of the songs on it until c-blogger power-glove alerted me to the presence of “Cleveland Rocks” by The Presidents of the United States of America. Apparently, that was the theme song for The Drew Carey Show. But the game’s Executive Producer, Ben Brinkman, called the soundtrack “diverse” and “cutting-edge” in an earlier conference call, so maybe I need to broaden my music and sitcom horizons. Perhaps our own Reverend Anthony would be able to help me with that…? Via Destructoid This week marks a new era in Rock Band downloadable content — the era of the six song pack. Up until now, we’ve only seen packs of three … so this is a large deal to someone. But not for me — this week’s package of six songs is a selection of classic Grateful Dead master tracks that includes: “China Cat Sunflower,” “Casey Jones,” “Sugar Magnolia,” “Truckin’,” “Franklin’s Tower,” and “I Need a Miracle.” The pack of six will cost $9.99 (or 800 MS Points), with each song costing the usual $1.99 (or 160 MS Points). Let me be clear: I’m not a massive Grateful Dead fan, but I “get it,” and if this is your thing I’m happy for you. I knew these were coming (there are still a handful of Grateful Dead master tracks waiting to be released), but for some reason I didn’t think they would come like this. I was hoping maybe they’d be released alongside the entirety of Radiohead’s OK Personal, or a handful of Pink singles. Or some hot tracks by The Wiggles. The press release (which may make you gag when you read the “ROCK BAND GOES TRUCKIN’” part) can be found after the jump. Via Destructoid |
