MTV’S Multiplayer blog recently had the chance to ask Owen O’Brien, Senior Producer on Mirror’s Edge, a few questions regarding the game development and ideas. The interview offers a good view on the philosophy of the game’s development and includes some interesting items, such as the origin of the name, the all-to-real possibility of “simulation sickness” as well as the art direction, including the apparent absence of the color green from all released images. Now, in the interview O’Brien’s response to that last bit is particularly telling, as he doesn’t confirm that the game has no green ….
And as the released concept art seems to advocate, the color green is limited only to certain areas, confirming the very specific art direction mentioned in the interview. There are five newly posted pieces of concept art, and three new screenshots. Look upon them and marvel (but don’t forget to read the interview.)

Since the cut-scenes that were included as part of the Halo 3 Legendary Edition didn’t live up to our HD stipulations (stupid limited DVD format), the fellas over at HBO and Clan Infectionist have teamed up to bring Halo 2’s cut-scenes into the HD era.
Captured using Halo 2 PC, the newly HD’ified H2 cut-scenes are being made available over at HBO in both Quicktime and Windows Media flavors. Currently, only the first two H2 cut-scenes are available for download in HD, but HBO will be rolling out the entire HD H2 cut-scene library throughout March. Staggering their release in an effort stay on top of the big amount of bandwidth needed to host these gems. Now go forth fanboys, download H2 cut-scenes minus that icky “popping effect” and in full, glorious, beautiful, HD glory.

Tom Clancy’s EndWar has a new official blogging home over at IGN and with the dev team’s first blog we get a quick and dirty rundown of some of EndWar’s key facts, figures and features. Some tidbits we’ve known (voice commands) and some we didn’t (the game is set in the war riddled year 2020). We’re especially intrigued by the fact that EndWar will be able to render over 1000 units all at once in ginormous battles as well as the fact that they’ll be including around forty different battlefields when the game releases. To us, forty sounds like enough variety to kick off the RTS fun with no problem. Make the jump to get the lowdown, retain some EndWar facts and maybe learn a thing or two about Russian Spetznaz Guard Brigades. Jump away …

It can be quite a painful ordeal to desire games derived from pre-sold text such as books, television, and movies. The Bourne Conspiracy is one such game, as we want it oh so badly to turn out amazing — especially after watching this intense trailer. We’re thoroughly impressed by the offerings presented, but the tainted history of licensed games always nags at our thoughts. Could this be the exception? Maybe.
In this latest trailer, we see this title’s ambitious gameplay at work as it mimics the fast-paced action seen in the Bourne flicks. The gameplay is wisely wrapped around honing the feeling of being Jason Bourne — that means turning anything and everything into a deadly weapon, as well as the ability to escape out of almost impossible situations. The kinds of moves you can pull off, especially the hand-to-hand combat, look amazingly fun to pick up and try out. As much as we are enamored by this new peek at The Bourne Conspiracy, we’ll wait until we test this baby out for ourselves before hopping back on the licensed games bandwagon.
[Thanks Dahk!]

What in the hell is Antares Voice Thing, you ask? Those with a modern day musical background should recogize the company name Antares. Late last decade they took the music world by storm with their voice tuning technology, Auto-Tune.

Condemned 2 leads the pack this week with an otherwise mediocre showing across the board.
PES 2008 finally makes its way across the pond (to an elated reception, no doubt) and Japan keeps on trying to keep up with the Joneses with
Skate. Only five months after the rest of the world. Here’s the full release list:
US Games
EU Games
Asian Games
Don’t forget that your PS3 cares about games from any region, so feel free to import anything listed above. Release dates are constantly subject to change, so be sure to confirm for yourself before doing anything silly. Like leaving the home.
