Midway Games: Getting to the “Core” of the PS3 Development Issues

by Ian Ennis on November 3, 2007 at 12:19 am

midway_ps31.jpg

We’ve heard before from PS3 developers that it’s not an easy machine to develop for. These latest statements from Midway indicate that the main reason for this is because the PS3 uses a multi-cored “Cell” processor, which is so different from the 360 that every game has to be rebuilt from ground up.

E for All Hands-On Preview: Epic Games’ Unreal Tournament 3 (PC)

by Andrew Podolsky on October 19, 2007 at 9:52 pm

You look like Cole Train. Maybe, but at least my mama ain’t a locust.

Epic is clearly interested in making games about burly space marines and their bad-ass weapons, and Unreal Tournament 3 is about as close to this vision as you can imagine. But if Gears of War was a relatively slow-paced, more thoughtful approach to shooters, Unreal Tournament is its jacked-up, circle-strafing, hyperactive twin. Read more…

Xbox 360 Review – Stranglehold

“Face Off against the Triads with style.”

John Woo has shaped cult cinema for years now. First making his big splash with the film A Better Tomorrow in 1986, Woo would be launched to a new tier of success (along with star Chow Yun Fat) within the Hong Kong movie making industry. Woo’s style was a ballet of violence and embodied the perfect combination of pirouettes and pistols. But to a greater extent, Woo’s films would fuse the popular chop-socky pictures of China with the six-shooter Westerns of golden era Hollywood. The result of which still affects cinema in a major way today: leaving future celluloid heroes standing waste deep in a pile of smoking bullet casings with exhausted trigger fingers – a dangling cigarette jutting from a face made of stone.

Review: Aqua Teen Hunger Force Zombie Ninja Pro-Am

by Donovan Bradford on August 20, 2007 at 9:58 pm

aqua_3.jpg

When I first saw Zombie Ninja Pro-Am, I truly didn’t know what to expect. The title wasn’t too specific in what you’re doing with the characters from the Adult Swim show Aqua Teen Hunger Force, but I quickly found out that this game, like the show, is very funny and foul-mouthed.

The title refers to two things– “Zombie Ninja” (but there are no zombie ninjas in the game, I’m sad to say), and “Pro Am”, which seems to refer to miniature golf. I found the golf angle to be a plus, because in this game you visit a number of golf courses, playing as Master Shake and Frylock. Read more…
