IMO Games are just like literature. Would you consider books as merely products? Come on, even editorials do their own focus groups whenever they have to decide about publishing a new author based on new IP. Take Harry Potter and Twilight as examples. Those books were actually AUCTIONED to differente publishers for…

A little Beckham-ish look, hehehe.

Excellent!!!! THAT's Cole!!! Keep it that way Sucker Punch!!! I really like how they have improved his facial expression, especially his eyes!!! Kudos!!

Interesting list. However, I'm expecting the Braids, Machinariums, World of Goos, Plants vs. Zombies, and Torchlights. Those are the games that nobody expects, but when they come out, they are regarded as outstanding gaming experiences.

@DLNO-001: Yeah.. sometimes I share those feelings too.. honor, courage and moral values are almost non-existent. Do not worry!! There are many others out there who really think about helping others while growing intellectually, spiritually, and professionally. I'm 24 years old, I live in Mexico, I studied a B.S. in…

@Manuel Antony Marcano: That is the reason why the Indie scene will ALWAYS generate brilliant minds. Braid and The Dishwasher are good examples. In my opinion, if you are passionate about making games you do not need a diploma or degree. You do not even need to work at a videogame company. Do it by yourself, learn by…

I will throw away some Rammstein CDs then. Come on... this is horsesh**t [kotaku.com]

Spanish Conquista, French Revolution, Napoleonic Wars, XIX century Colonialism, Feudal Japan, Crimean War, Second Industrial Revolution... and you want to go for... WWII?? Where's Ubisoft imagination these days...

Brütal Legend has already proven that Schafer is better at telling stories than producing engaging gameplay. I would rather watch an animated film directed by Schafer (that would be awesome), than expecting a new Schafer game.

Ok, so in order to rate the best company in the world we consider "2008 sales and international sales percentage." What about job security? Employment benefits? Sustainable development? Social aid? No wonder why the planet is in one of the worst economic crisis.

@Chewbenator: I'm extremely worried how new generations tend to forget about Carmack!!!!

Wouldn't be THAT sure. I see a delay "gadding about"

This should have been realized by major Japanese Studios since... 10 years ago. Really. The Japanese market is quite important, but in terms of growth, it is not that hard to realize that both Europe and America (including Latin America) represent a greater growth. It has to be related to demographics. Inevitably, the…

Ok.. now the big question is... is Sony going to change the game covers as well?? According to "marketing purists", in order to have a well-integrated marketing strategy, the use of a corporate logo has to be homogeneous in every product offered. I personally like the covers since the "Only on Playstation" motto…

Obama looks like a Bioshock kind of guy

@Bargo: Well Posted!!!

Well... "nothing else you've ever heard of" sounds more like "nothing else the writer of this article has heard of". Fresnadillo directed a movie called "Intact" (Intacto in Spanish). Max Von Sydow stars in it. WATCH THAT FILM!!! It is a very interesting concept based on chance and the role it plays in our lives.…

Well, Bobby boy, to call it "a small segment" would be arrogant. Sure, any type of gamer (casual, soccer mom, hardcore, whatever) will surely like a sequel based on the best gaming experiences they have had, but that does not mean you have to focus your vision towards rehashing your existing IP. New IP moves the…

Loved the concept art (especially pic 11), and the way it is executed throughout the game. The radiosity in the kitchen concept is truly remarkable. I'm looking forward for this game. Sure, the gameplay may not be that impressive, but in terms of visual design and storytelling, it deserves to be played.

I really think that Sony will start to have a stronger competitive advantage against Microsoft. A great first-party slate (both in terms of content and genre), a more efficient PSN, a far more reliable hardware than the 360, and added value such as the Blu-ray are positive elements for Sony's market conquest. Great…
