Beyond Good & Evil 2: I Just Want To Believe

Old news, I'm a BG&E fan. If you haven't read my review [which points out the good and the flaws] please feel free to here. Furthermore, if you haven't played Beyond Good & Evil, what the 'effing' 'H' are you waiting for? It really is a great experience and one of the main reasons why I got 'back into' gaming. However, I have been seeing the trailer above for quite some time now and I have to say ... I'm a little bit peeved. Last year I wrote that the sequel was being put on hold for reasons not revealed to the public; or me for that matter. I've emailed and sent 8 x 10's of my portrait to Ubisoft and nothing! Then I realized, this is something I actually want...

The DLC Debate: "What Is Fair?"

What a crazy age we live in.We live in the age of Twitter and instant updates. Instant gratification is in and of course technology will be the first to harness and cultivate our needs. Though video games may not fall in the category of 'necessity', try convincing gaming companies to the contrary. I am sure avid WoW players and Pockemon collectors also have problems resisting new content as well. Downloadable content is here fellow gamers. As much as it proposes the argument of how strong a foothold games have on our society, it may prove just how far game developers and distributors are willing to go to juice the naive. What is fair?

Difficult being a fanboy in a recession

[Edit: I wrote this for StartScreen, I figured I'd just copy & paste it here as well]

If you've been paying attention to the news and rumblings about the current financial trend in technology, more specifically, the games industry then you know that us gamers have quite the road ahead of us this year. With platforms warring for our dollars and developers struggling [financially and with the aformentioned platforms], innovation may come second to keeping these respective companies above water.

Watchmen: Fox Getting A Slice Of Pie

I'm Blue. Dah-doo-dee-dah-doo-dah

So FOX and Warner settled out of court a couple days ago. Making a movie I was 'semi-anticipating', slightly more..."anticipatorial" [that's a word...see I just made it]. Here's the deal:

Terms of the agreement were not disclosed, but the deal is said to involve a sizable cash payment to Fox and a percentage of the film's boxoffice grosses; Fox will not be a co-distributor on the film, nor will it co-own the "Watchmen" property, but it will share in revenue derived from it. The studios released a joint statement last night.

Something's telling me the homie Lloyd Levin [producer of Watchmen] isn't to happy. Especially since his last freak out.

Alan Horn Clears Up Dark Knight Sequel

Okay...I'm Pretty Sure Only One Of You Guys Is Going To Be In The Sequel...[too soon?]

With all the rumors swirling around the internet about possible casting for Warner Bros.' sequel to the record-breaking box office blockbuster The Dark Knight--absolutely none of them true as yet--Collider had a chance to talk briefly with Alan Horn, the President of Warner Bros., and probably the one man who would know more than anyone else about anything going on with this highly-anticipated project.

Cresente & Hsu On G4 giving the straight dope

Seconding the LBP let down. I just thought it was going to be more than it was.  But thanks to DLC...hopefully the damn thing will grow some legs and become interesting [cough*PS Home*cough].

Sega Dreamcast Anniversary - Remember The Good Times

So Many Good Things...What Went Wrong

Sega's last console which was launched September 9th in 1999 [9/9/99] had it's ninth anniversary yesterday.  As a proud owner of a Dreamcast I thought I'd make a small post about the 'good times'. Funny, I was reading specs on this machine and it really did have it all! Having it all wasn't going to save Sega's 'swan song' of a console though, no third-party support and heavy piracy ultimately gutted this machine before it had a chance against its PSone and eventual PS2 competitor.

Mark Hamill returns as the Joker [In Arkham Asylum Game]

Commence The Freak Out

Breath...Breath...in through the nose, out through the mouth. Yes, it is true. Sir Mark Hamill [why did I just knight dude?] a.k.a. the 2nd best joker ever [sorry I have to give it to 'the Ledge' for his bananaberry performance] will getting behind the mic one more time. 

If you've been living under a rock for the past 15 years, Mark Hamill's best contributions to anything in the acting space will be his portrayal of the Joker on TV's "Batman: The Animated Series". That's right your Luke Skywalker is in no way on the level of the Hamill...

okay...i'll stop now...

After this pathetic jump is the Kotaku article on this grand nugget of news.
