Medal of Honor 'not necessarily pushing the genre forward'

You’d think that EA would be doing its best to separate Medal of Honor from the pack in a very crowded first-person shooter market. The team at EA Los Angeles is, indeed, working to make the game stand out, but the experience is not likely to be the most innovative shooter you’ve ever played. Executive producer Greg Goodrich explained that the intent is to build a highly polished game:
What we’re focusing on is making a great first-person shooter. [If we don’t] put out [a game] that revolutionize[s] the genre, so …

Capy bringing Clash of Heroes to XBLA and PSN in HD!

Capybara is bringing Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes to Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network later this year. This isn’t just going to be a straightforward port of the DS game as Capy is giving Clash of Heroes the HD treatment!
The game will receive all sorts of awesome updates to it, such as hand-drawn artwork replacing the 16-bit style sprites and scenes. Clash of Heroes HD will also feature four-player versus or co-operative modes. A number of complaints about the DS version, such as how you couldn’t go …

EA Sports Active 2.0 coming to PS3, snubs Xbox 360

Well, the console wars are officially over. Electronic Arts has announced that cynical “me too” fitness game, EA Sports Active 2.0, is coming to multiple platforms, but will skip the Xbox 360 for some reason. The Wii, PS3, and even iPhone are getting a version, but Microsoft has been left in the cold. 
The PS3 version looks like it’ll be the best, since EA has also revealed that players will get to download new workouts via the PSN. This news comes after EA announced that PGA Tour 11 would support Sony’s …

Steambot Chronicles 2 is (still) in the works

Yes! Irem has officially stated that the sequel to Bumpy Trot (known as Steambot Chronicles to western gamers) is in development for the PS3!
Well, still in development, at any rate. Y’see, Bumpy Trot 2 was first announced at the Tokyo Game Show…in 2006. After another quick trailer shown at TGS the following year (you can see it below), Irem went dark regarding the game until a magazine scan showed up in 2009 (also visible below).
Now, after some fevered prodding from ScrawlFX, Irem representative confirmed …

First Modern Warfare 2 DLC hitting XBL this month

It feels like only yesterday Infinity Ward was talking up the mysterious first Modern Warfare 2 downloadable map pa–oh, that totally was yesterday. Huh, that was quick! The marketing division has created an informative site about “mapathy,” an all-too-real medical condition affecting millions of gamers.
They say the cure is coming to Xbox LIVE on March 30, which would mean an April release for PlayStation 3 and PC since Microsoft acquired a full month of exclusivity for the add-on. The real question, at least in my mind, is whether or not …

More free Mass Effect 2 stuff for Cerberus Network users!

Perhaps the exclamation point is overkill — the latest free add-on for Mass Effect 2 is simply a new heavy weapon. Nothing more, nothing less. The Arc Projector, as BioWare has so lovingly named it, can now be downloaded for anyone with access to the Cerberus Network storefront.
On the other hand, the gun sounds rather fun to use. You point it at things you want to electrocute to death, and splash damage plays a big role in its effectiveness. There’s a nice picture on BioWare’s site that shows the Arc …
