A New Developer Joins the Take-Two Family

On April 4th, Rockstar announced the formation of Rockstar New England after the acquiring Mad Doc Software, "one of the premier independent development studios in North America." Rockstar founder, Sam Houser continues to praise the studio throughout the press release.


"The team at Mad Doc Software is extremely talented," said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. "Bringing them within the Rockstar Games family will enhance our core technology and further support our commitment to creating progressive and innovative gaming experiences."


Mad Doc Software is known for it's work on the Empire Earth series and also helped developed the "critically acclaimed" Xbox 360 version of Bully: Scholarship Edition.

Seriously Rockstar? Mad Doc has to be one of the worst developers, ever. The average review of one of their games has the word "mediocre" mentioned at least 5 times. I can only hope this is an extremely late April fools joke.

Full press release after break.


New York, NY - April 4, 2008 - Rockstar Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), announced today the formation of Rockstar New England through the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Andover, MA-based Mad Doc Software, one of the premier independent development studios in North America.

Stephen King, A Friend?


In a guest column for Entertainment Weekly, well-known thriller author Stephen King has written up a beautiful article about....video game violence!

Now before you all double-click on your Notepad or MS Word and choose your favorite angry emotes ( >:[ has always been a classic ) make sure to actually read the article. Mr. King does not attack video games, but only expresses that while gaming isn't his cup of tea, he certainly does not feel that violent video games should be attacked like they are.


So, nope — videogames are not my thing. Nor am I some kind of raving political nutcase. But when I heard about HB 1423, which happens to be a bill pending in the Massachusetts state legislature, I still hit the roof. HB 1423 would restrict or outright ban the sale of violent videogames to anyone under the age of 18. Which means, by the way, that a 17-year-old who can get in to see Hostel: Part II would be forbidden by law from buying (or renting, one supposes) the violent but less graphic Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

According to the proposed bill, violent videogames are pornographic and have no redeeming social merit. The vid-critics claim they exist for one reason and one reason only, so kids can experience the vicarious thrill of killing. Now, what does and doesn't have social merit is always an interesting question, one I can discuss for hours. But what makes me crazy is when politicians take it upon themselves to play surrogate parents. The results of that are usually disastrous. Not to mention undemocratic.


It makes me happy to know that gamers aren't alone in this outrageous battle for peace, so everyone go read the whole article, it's about 2 pages of well written stuff.

Of course, I don't know how credible this support will be if an attacking journalist decides to point out the fact that King writes books like It and Carrie...

Sonic Unleashed Is Real

After many many rumors, and lots of leaked screenshots and even a video that depicted what HAD to be the next in the Sonic series, it's official. There's even a press release after the break to prove it!

The new (extended) video claims that Sonic Unleashed should be coming to us sometime late '08. I'm actually getting excited about this one.




Sonic Is Unleashed!

SEGA's newest Sonic title is set to combine amazing next gen capabilities with classic Sonic 2D gameplay!

LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (April 3, 2008) - SEGA® of America and SEGA of Europe Ltd., today announced that everyone's favourite hedgehog will be breaking new ground yet maintaining his roots, in the upcoming title, Sonic Unleashed™. Developed by renowned studio Sonic Team, the latest installment in the multi-million selling franchise, will take players on an unforgettable high-speed journey around the globe in a way never before experienced in the world of Sonic. The game is set for release later this year and will be available for the Xbox 360™ videogame and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, Wii™ home video game system from Nintendo and PLAYSTATION®2.

Sonic Unleashed is built on a powerful new "Hedgehog Engine", which introduces seamless 3D to classic 2D camera transitions, whilst delivering a rich and expansive world with multiple paths to choose from. Under development for three years, the Hedgehog Engine produces a visually rich next generation look and feel with elements of classic Sonic gameplay mechanics. The Hedgehog engine will help re-define the gameplay experience for Sonic fans and newcomers to the franchise alike.

"By combining rich and vibrant scenery with dynamic viewpoints Sonic Unleashed will provide an immersive 3D experience whilst keeping alive the 2D gameplay elements and fantastic worlds that Sonic fans know and love" commented Gary Knight, European Marketing Director for SEGA Europe. "In addition to this classic Sonic gaming experience, when darkness sets in Sonic Unleashed players will be able to experience a completely new way to play as Sonic... making this his most exciting adventure yet!"

Having been broken apart by the evil Dr Eggman, it's down to Sonic to put the pieces of the world back together again by retrieving the power of the chaos emeralds. In doing so, Sonic will find himself in a race against time and faced with an unusual situation that will challenge him in ways never before seen. By completing a wide variety of action-packed stages, spanning the seven broken continents of the world, gamers will need to unleash Sonic's amazing abilities to save the world, and himself!

The opportunity to engage in Sonic in different ways during the day and night time levels brings a completely original way of playing to the Sonic franchise, in addition to running at high speeds in classic Sonic style, combat fighting will become possible. Super quick Sonic's speed skills will be highlighted by four new modes, whilst the all new combat, movement and functional abilities will offer depth and variety to the game. As the sun sets in Sonic Unleashed, a different type of adventure will awaken in Sonic's newest quest....

Sonic Unleashed is scheduled for release worldwide in late 2008.

Hideo Kojima Claims MGS May Not Be Yet Over

In a recent interview between IGN and Hideo Kojima (the mastermind behind Metal Gear Solid) Hideo talks about how the MGS series may continue on, even if Solid Snake is killed off.


IGN: Obviously, the first question that's on everyone's mind is: Why exactly did you feel this was the right time to end the Metal Gear Solid series?

Hideo Kojima: I was supposed to end this in MGS2, you know, originally (laughs). And then I created MGS3, and I said, 'Okay, this is the final one. It's over.' But people said, 'No, there's still not enough answers (in that game)!' As a game design, the story was almost complete in MGS1, 2 and 3, or so I initially thought. But of course, there were some questions that weren't answered, especially with some things after MGS2. I didn't decide that this was the timing – there were a lot of voices saying, 'We want the answer to all of the questions!' That's why as a game, and as a saga, MGS4 is the complete wrap up.

PR-wise, I really don't want to say that this the final game or this is the wrap up, but if I don't say it, people will make me create MGS again! (laughs) So I have to say, 'Die, Snake,' and really end it so I can move on to something else! (laughs) Actually, it's a game, so even if Snake dies, the game can live on. We have to kill him at a certain point.


I think that after Snake is gone, it wont be Metal Gear Solid anymore. Solid Snake IS MGS. Anything after that is just milking the cash-cow. How do the readers feel about this? Comment about it.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Dated


Here comes the newest Star Wars game from LucasArts, it's going to be for the Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Playstation Portable, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, and finally the Xbox 360. If they managed to throw it on the PC that'd cover every system that's in circulation right now. Expect to see it show up on September 16th in the States.

LucasArts has announced that its physics-based jedi sim, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, will arrive on September 16th in the United States, September 17th in Southeast Asia and Australia, and September 19th in Europe. That’s the plan and, given our anticipation for the title, we can only pray the publisher doesn’t alter it any further.


Hit the jump for the super cool tech video.

Tom Clancy's HAWX


Tom Clancy and Ubisoft have got a new dogfighting (aircraft) game on the way for the PC, 360, and Ps3, Tom Clancy's HAWX, and boy have I gotta say.....it looks B-E-A-utiful!

The game will feature over 50 jets, and revolves around a story set in the year 2012 where private military companies generally control most country's fighting actions. But who cares about that? We just wanna gun down some baddies.

More info and a video after the break.

HAWX features an Enhanced Reality System (ERS), which is meant to make even the average pilot feel like Iceman. ERS includes radars, incoming missile detection, an anti-crash system, damage control system, tactical map, information relay, weapons trajectory control and allows players to give commands to their AI squadron. With the Assistance Mode flipped on, the ERS will put pilots into a maximum safety mode. Think of it like having all the assists turned on in a racing game. You get more freedom and control with Assistance Mode off, but you will also be at greater risk without the full protection of the ERS.

Capcom Aquires Tenchu Devs

Over the weekend Capcom acquired K2 Studios, known for their work on the recent atrocity known as Tenchu Z and Valhalla Knights. K2 is also aiding SNK in making the latest Samurai Showdown game.

The purchase was made through an exchange of stock, which should be completed May 1st. The purpose of the exchange was apparently to help make Capcom's "game development activities more efficient and speedy." Could this mean that Capcom plans to breathe new life into the dying Tenchu series, or maybe they are just adding more hands to their development team.

Valkyrie Profile: The Accused One, DS

Valkyrie Profile: The Accused One on the DS, every fan of the series is now creaming in their pants. I'm amazed at what SquareEnix did on the new trailer, it looks astounding for the DS.

I have a feeling the game wont play out as good as it does on the PSX and PS2, but who knows, maybe my instincts are wrong. No date yet, but we'll find out as more details emerge.

GameStop Not Taking In Gameboys


Are you planning on finally trading in your original Gameboys and Gameboy Colors along with their corresponding games? Well if you're going to do it at a GameStop you had better do it soon because as of April 7th, GameStop will not be accepting trade-ins for those utterly ancient gaming peripherals.

Sad to think that the Gameboys are actually that old, I've got 2 originals and one GBC of my own, with just about no game for them. I traded all my games but couldn't bring myself to get rid of the darned systems themselves.

Socom 3 Gets New Map Pack

With all the focus on current gen games, it's nice to see developers haven't abandoned the only living (if you call that living) last gen console, the Ps2.

A new map pack has been released for SOCOM 3: U.S. Navy SEALs and SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Combined Assault. This third map packs includes maps present in both SOCOM and SOCOM II. The best part of all of this is, the map pack is completely free.


Hot off the presses, a new downloadable map pack has just been released for SOCOM 3: U.S. Navy SEALs and SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Combined Assault. This is the third downloadable map pack released for the two titles. This new downloadable map pack includes the classic SOCOM and SOCOM II maps Crossroads, Fishhook, Frostfire and Guidance.

Crossroads is a SOCOM II urban map based in North Africa. Crossroads consistently ranks as the most popular classic SOCOM map and a next generation version of Crossroads will be featured in SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation. It is playable in a day or night setting with up to 16 players in Suppression, Demolition and Control gametypes.

Fishhook is a SOCOM II map based on a seaside North African village. It is playable with up to 16 players in a day or night setting in Suppression, Extraction, Control and Breach gametypes.

Frostfire is a SOCOM map which features an oil drilling platform off of the coast of Alaska. It is playable in a day or night setting with up to 16 players in Suppression, Control and Demolition gametypes.

Guidance is a SOCOM II map which features an ex-soviet military base in Russia. It is playable in a day or night setting with up to 16 players in Suppression, Demolition and Control gametypes.

The price of the new map pack, FREE! In fact, we are making all three of the SOCOM 3 and SOCOM CA Downloadable Map Packs free from this point forward. This is no April Fools joke. We want to give something back to all of the fans who have stuck with us all of this time.

This is a great opportunity to get your Crossroads fix in before SOCOM Confrontation is released on the PLAYSTATION®3 this September. It will also give you a good opportunity to see first hand how far SOCOM has come with the latest PS3™ installment. After playing both versions, there is no way I can go back. Experiencing Crossroads in SOCOM Confrontation on the PS3 is like experiencing it again for the first time. While the layout is instantly familiar to anyone who has spent hundreds of hours playing Crossroads in SOCOM II, the level of detail which is achieved on the PS3 makes it a whole new experience.

Playstation Store Gets a New Wardrobe

Sony will be working on a new look for the Playstation store in April.

As of April 3rd, for about 2 weeks or so there will be no new updates to the Playstation Store. You can still buy and download all the stuff already on it, but until a firmware update for the new store comes out sometime in Mid-April, nothing new will be released.

The wait will be agonizing for Rock Band users who want their free Still Alive song, but hopefully the new interface will be worth the wait.
