  • Don't call it a comeback Grand Theft Auto

    New GTA Coming to PSP in 2006

    While perusing a Take 2 financial report we stumbled across this nugget:
    "For Fiscal 2006, we are well positioned for the opportunities to extend our brands across the large installed base of current generation platforms, as well as next generation hardware including the two previously announced Rockstar Games titles for the PSP, one of which is new Grand Theft Auto title."

  • Not a Jedi, yet Galaxies

    Galaxies Dead in Japan

    I guess floppy-haired, scruffy, nerfherders don't translate well in Japanese. Star Wars: Galaxies is being cancelled in Japan according to Slashdot. Displaced players who have paid through the end of 2005 will be offered a chance to go to a US/EN server. This hits harder than last week's news of Jek Porkins' actor William Hootkins passing away.

  • Think just because a guy reads comics he can't start some shit? Killer 7

    Devil's Due Does Killer 7

    The modestly reviewed, highly artistic and visually interesting Killer 7 is getting a comic book makeover from Devil's Due according to Monsters and Critics. Killer 7's unique style should translate well to the pages, since the game felt like a playable comic book. More »

    More Wireless PSP Headphones?

    Family friend Gizmodo points at yet another pair of headphones for the PSP. What's up with all of these? First, we had the chatting headset and now the wireless headphones from Gizmodo. The Summit headphones (pictured) use an FM modulator to run the signal on an unused FM band.

    Make Peace, Not War

    Video games get a bum rap, but PeaceMaker aspires to be different. "PeaceMaker is unique in that it teaches students how to achieve peace through negotiation and cooperation, unlike many video games that rely on violence," says the game's producer. Developed by Carnegie Mellon University students, the game examines the volatile Middle East situation. Players assume the role of either the Palestinian president or Israeli prime minister as they deal with suicide bombings and military actions. The game eventually will be available online for free for all to play. More »

  • Guys, we don't want any trouble, just a drink Rockstar Games

    Newsweek All Up on Rockstar's Stuff

    Newsweek is all over Rockstar like a teenager in love. The love is chronicled in a piece that looks at the rise of Rockstar Games.' I don't think anyone would argue that Rockstar is doing great things as an entity, but the article cites the use of the Warriors intellectual property and staging the recently released title as a prequel as a marking point for the company's success. That's a bit shortsighted. Why not point to their creation of dynamic, changing cities with the GTA series as the launchpad for their success rather than their revival of a '70s cult flick? More »

    Online Gaming Gets 100 Times Faster

    Thank Osaka's Kansai Electric for making fibre-optic data transfer quicker. According to ABC News, the company uses fibre-optic cables on steel towers to reach the speed of one terabit per second. What does that mean in plain English? You can to transmit a two-hour movie in 0.5 seconds (if there is no other traffic on the network and all the hardware is working at 100 percent capacity and efficiency). Ironically, the lighting speed technology will take its sweet time to get to consumers and won't be available in Japan until around 2010. More »
