4 days 12 hours ago 0When Tim Schafer appealed to the fans to help make a new game at his Double Fine productions, not many people expected their goal amount of money to be met - and exceeded - in less than 24 hours.
The third season of Sony's PlayStation Network reality TV show The Tester premiered last night, and VGBlogger.com has a quick recap of the first episode.
"The Unreal Development Kit is amongst a number of kits available to the general public so that just about anyone can make their own game using the Unreal 3 engine. This has resulted in lots of indie design teams putting together elaborate games using Epic’s professional caliber engine, but it also means that fledgling designers are now able to try making a game too. One such newcomer to game design is Melissa Lee Shaw who created Grand Invasion: A Full-Scale Assault."
The game that was announced "dead" 15 years ago has been resurrected! Some eccentric, magical game enthusiast some how got his hands on two copies of the original "Resident Evil" game for the Gameboy color. After receiving over $2,000, this man has liberated the unfinished game to the general public as a ROM file.
I personally am wondering what the legality of unfinished/unreleased game ROMS being released is...but hey! it's a Resident Evil game you've never played before!
"An amazing thing happened recently. I bought Rayman: Origins, put it in my PlayStation 3 and was playing the game in mere moments. It wasn’t until later that I realised something incredible had occurred; I didn’t have to wait to play the game. I thought back to my actions: I put the disc in the console, started the game and then played it. Nothing barged between me and my entertainment. No online passes fell out the case to force me into redeeming fiddly little codes to access features I alre..."

"It’s the question every military-industrial complex, from the modern United States to the fictional United Nations Space Command, eventually struggles to answer: What do you do when the fighting finally stops?
Several possible answers serve as the murky backdrop to Halo: Glasslands, the latest book in the long-running series based on the world’s most ubiquitous videogame franchise–and the first to take place in the aftermath of the Covenant War. Basically, those answers all boil down to th..."
"“Actually, I'm currently working on music for a computer game. This is the song with which I am toiling experiencing. I was asked if I could not imagine such a thing, and found it exciting.”"
"I’m sure the development team behind I Shall Remain have high hopes for the project, but it’s a case of having too many sinks in the kitchen, then throwing in the kitchen sink for good measure. No single element of the game works well and when these many frustrating pieces are lumped together, it creates a game that only the hardest of hardcore survival horror fans will enjoy."

"It would be easy for the game industry to rest on their laurels right now, internationally we stood alongside the rest of the internet and together shouted a mighty ‘COME AT ME BRO!’ to congress. Even the ESA removed their support of SOPA by the end."
"We’ve all heard the legends of an NES cartridge that was only made for a Nintendo promotional event, or the old Atari 2600 game that was never mass produced, and now they’re worth thousands of dollars. If you got your hands on one of those limited run games decades ago you’d be able to sell it for a fortune today. Unfortunately, most games steadily drop in resale value from the minute they hit the market. Still, there are a few that actually increase in resale price after release, and many..."

Craig Will of GoozerNation.com talks about losing a co-op partner, finding a new one, getting his wife into gaming, and why local co-op should stick around.
"Game Of The Year is what this show is all about this week with our best and worst of the games that came out in 2011. Everything from best gun and gadget in a game to best game modes in a game to the overall best and worst games of the year."
Yesterday rumors were flying in from an industry analyst about the demise of THQ. True or not, THQ has issued a statement flatly refuting the comments.
White House opposition to SOPA leads to anticipated shelving of bill at congressional hearings on January 18th. SOPA is not being abandoned as a whole, but must be reworked to be successful while upholding first amendment rights.
"The power button on my Dreamcast emits a glow. The warm, rosy glow of nostalgia for a time when game progress was saved on Memory Cards, a time before HD televisions, when online gaming was done with a 56k modem, and controllers still had wires. Hardcore gamers talk about the Dreamcast the way that car lovers talk about a ’57 Chevy, the way that junkies talk about that first pure high. That high was powerful, but short-lived; the Dreamcast debuted in 1999, but was already done with by 2001..."
"Aura plays a major role either driving the plot forward or acting as a major mystery to be solved through both television and videogame. .hack//Link saw her infected by a virus and eventually stripped of most of her abilities. To what should be nobody's surprise, Matsuyama implies that her role in the upcoming game is significant, and that, through the plot progression (read: twists) presented in Beyond the World, her actions will be different."
The Obama White House came out on Saturday as opponents to SOPA and PIPA, which would restrict Internet freedom. The bills pose a threat to sites such as Youtube and would make the streaming of copyrighted content such as user-generated gameplay a criminal offense.
A new browser-based game has released that pays homage to the best games from the NES era in a fitting tribute that will have you hooked to your computer for the rest of the day.
"If your alien race needs water, the only logical thing to do is attach giant water cannons to planets throughout the galaxy and squirt the precious fluids through the void of space to your eagerly receptive Mothership. Right? Well that’s the premise of Water Galaxy, a physics puzzler from Wired Games. Despite the (no doubt unintended) sexual symbolism, Water Galaxy is wholesome, easy-to-play fun in a small package."
"I went to the January sales last week. Aside from the soul-crushing, miserable experience of thousands of people desperately shoving their way through department stores and clothing outlets that characterizes shopping for a bargain at this time of year, I found myself struck by an interesting thought. What if the prices of video games were structured differently? What if, instead of the standard £40/$60 price tag that most games get at release (and the slightly lower one that HD collections h..."
With all of the recent rumors about new consoles running around the internet these days, it's nice to see something fairly concrete come out of the mix. SCE president says there won't be a PS4 announcement at E3 this year.
