Good morrow fine Sirs and Madams. It has come to my attention that you may well be feeling a certain qualmness with regards to Mirror’s Edge nausea inducing capabilities, but rest assured, the fine folks over at DICE have found a veritable bouquet of solutions that are positively bursting with ingenuity and charisma that aspire to resolving the conundrums at hand in a swift and mannered fashion.

Leap the gulf to continue these investigations.

After playing Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk, which both took suckatude to previously unimaginable heights, what little faith I had in movie tie-in games died. You push a game to be released at the same time as a movie and you get garbage. Which is why the recent announcement by developer GRIN is so special. Rather than give us yet another game that only a blind mother could love, GRIN is working on a Wanted movie tie-in game that, obviously, will NOT be limited by a film release window. Considering how wicked the comic book and the film were (storyline and acting notwithstanding), I would definitely be interested in this title.

Doc and Dave got a chance to see a walkthrough of Sony Online Entertainment’s upcoming MMOFPS The Agency. While they got to see it first hand, and let the SOE representative do the talking, I thought I’d take a minute to hit the high points and offer my off-the cuff impressions. (more…)

Dave got some time with Prince of Persia, and reports in true Dave style on his in-depth impressions of Prince of Persia.

I just had the geekiest moment so far at E3, as I got my hands on Far Cry 2. Ubisoft’s A.I. guy, Guillaume Frechette was trying to take me through the official song and dance, while I peppered him with questions.

What’s multiplayer going to be like?

I can’t talk about that.

Will Far Cry 2 have a map editor?

The game will have a very deep map editor on all platforms.

I fainted. My life is complete. More juicy nuggets on Far Cry 2 after the jump. (more…)

Playing classic games is kind of like time travel. You can go back and play the games that paved the way for all the greats that would come after, ala what Dune 2 did for RTS gaming. You can also go back to a time before certain franchises lost their way. Playing Need for Speed ProStreet still makes me cry on the inside when I look back at the pure joy that was Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit. Sort of like looking at an old photo album with a picture of your ex-girlfriend in it. Sure she may have married a carny and had six kids, but back in the day she was that hot girl who taught you the best way to unhook a bra.

Die hard Fallout fans are a strange, rabid bunch. Unlike other popular franchises, when Bethesda announced that the third installment to one of the best RPG franchises of the 1990’s was on its way, back in July of 2004, a massive segment of the fans freaked out in a very non-happy way. We’re talking running through the streets naked, “heralding the end of days” type mad.

To be honest, I was one of them. That was until I watched the 360’s E3 Stage Demo!

EA press conference was night and day compared with the even Microsoft held today. Unburdened by complex hardware rollouts and silly movie game demonstrations, EA stuck to the games and it paid off big time. The media members present (capacity crowd) figured out how to put two hands together and devoured almost everything that EA put in front of them. I’ve got to admit, it was pretty freakin cool.

Dead Space was presented to EA’s standing-room-only atendees at the EA press conference a few minutes ago, and was one of the biggest hits of the event.  EA’s Glen Shofield presented a live playthrough of a level was frightening, disgusting, chaotic and could rewrite the book on the horror genre.

President Bush appealed to fellow world leaders at the G8 summit in Japan earlier this week for assistance with a mysterious “ghost city” in eastern California, whose people appear not to exist. The appeal comes three weeks after the President paid a visit to the metropolis in question, known as Paradise City. The city has recently been the subject of an update known only as ‘Cagney’, which brought it to the President’s attention.

Reality shows have become a permanent fixture of American life. Everywhere you turn, it seems there is always another show trying to feed off the success of MTV’s “Real World” or CBS’ “Survivor.”

While reality televisions shows are extremely popular, they have yet to fully penetrate the realm of video games. There might be a few titles here and there, but the industry hasn’t seen the market saturation that currently makes television nearly unwatchable. However, I don’t expect it to stay this way forever. At least if Ubisoft has anything to say about it.

Hit the jump for Ubisoft’s next hot game. (more…)
