GamesCom: inFamous 2 Hands-OnMon, Aug 23rd, 2010, 6:01 pm (EST) BY JAMIE FELTHAM
Given that inFamous 2 was only shown in trailer form to most of the press at E3 I was fairly surprised to see a stack of screens lined up for the public to play the game at GamesCom this year. Still, I didn't sit around stunned too long; I needed to get my hands on Cole's next adventure. |
Top Ten Development Studios Right NowThu, Aug 19th, 2010, 10:43 pm (EST) BY JORDAN DOUGLAS
Games have always been behind other creative mediums - such as film, music, and literature - when it comes to making consumption choices based on the team behind a product, as opposed to its franchise tag or brand. That being said, the "hardcore", enthusiast crowd has always had a deep appreciation and sense of loyalty toward the select group of studios that continually produce quality. Thankfully, that trend is slowly beginning to penetrate mainstream gaming. |

Uncharted 2: Siege Expansion Pack ReviewMon, May 24th, 2010, 3:47 am (EST) BY JORDAN DOUGLASThe steady stream of downloadable content from Naughty Dog continues, as the third expansion pack for Uncharted 2's multiplayer, the Siege pack, is upon us. Siege offers a wide variety of add-ons such as a new cooperative game type, competitive maps, character skins, and trophies. These new offerings will no doubt satisfy regular Uncharted players - the new maps are possibly the best yet, and the additional trophies will give players something to strive for. Siege co-op mode is an interesting twist on the survival arenas, but is ultimately more of the same. However, The Siege DLC certainly adds as a timely reminder to those who've stepped away from Uncharted 2, about how enjoyable Uncharted 2's multiplayer really is. More » |

Crysis 2 Comparisons Are Just Alienating GamersWed, Apr 14th, 2010, 3:15 pm (EST) BY ADAM MA
It's a pretty common standard in the gaming industry that when announcing a new title, you must remind everyone else that your game will be the absolute best. Better then the competition at least, because why else would a developer bother making a game? While most developers generally highlight gameplay or level design, Crysis 2 is taking a bit of a different turn. It's a little unusual for FPS title to boast about anything other then multiplayer these days but Richard Morgan, popular sci-fi author and current writer for Crysis 2, has taken to launching a full assault against bad storytelling. |

Comparing Immersion In God Of War III And Uncharted 2Sun, Mar 28th, 2010, 7:23 am (EST) BY JORDAN DOUGLAS
The current generation of games has produced immersive experiences which are beginning to reach the level of literature and cinema. With the recent release of God of War III on PlayStation 3, many want to know how it compares in terms of overall immersion - graphics, animations, storytelling, etc... - to the best in gaming. Uncharted 2, known for its gorgeous visuals, fluid animations, and likable characters, serves as a good point of comparison. Granted, there are many other factors which create an immersive experience, but for the purpose of this article we’ll focus on these three. While God of War III is a fantastic game and technical achievement, it comes up slightly short of matching the magic Naughty Dog created with Uncharted 2. |

How Voice Acting Has Changed The Video Games IndustrySat, Mar 13th, 2010, 3:58 pm (EST) BY FOZZIEVoice acting, as defined by Wikipedia, is the act of "providing one's voice to an animated character." Though its origin is unknown it's been safely lodged in the acting world for quite some time now. Disney, as many of you are well aware, has been well known for its animated movies and, more impressively, as a voice acting pioneer. Snow White (1937) was the company's first full-length animated feature film made and Adriana Caselotti voiced the movie's title character. More » |
