While Diablo iii wasn't on display at GC 2008, we got an opportunity to sit down with the action-RPG's lead designer, Jay Wilson, to get a sense of how things are coming along in the much-anticipated sequel. Since the game was recently announced in Paris at Blizzard's Worldwide Invitational event, a segment of the franchise's fan base has been upset about the art style, claiming it didn't stay true to the darker nature of the previous two games. Wilson disagrees.
Reports are beginning to roll in from Square Enix's DKS3713 event in Japan, and as many had speculated, the publisher announced a fairly large Sony exclusive to help counter the E3 news that Final Fantasy XIII will be coming to the Xbox 360 as well. So what's the counter? It seems the PlayStation 3 will be receiving the first FFXIII demo in the form of a bonus on the Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete Blu-ray disc. Currently Advent Children Complete is scheduled for release in Japan... Read More
While most of the attention regarding upcoming Final Fantasy titles have been heaped upon Final Fantasy XIII, Versus XIII is still being diligently worked on by Square Enix. At the DKΣ3713 Private party event in Harajuku today, Square showed off a brand new trailer that highlighted a large number of new characters, settings and even battles that look phenomenal.
The trailer started out with a quote stating that this game is "a fantasy based on reality." While we don't know what exactly... Read More

There's no doubt Blizzard's Worldwide Invitational in Paris was a huge success. 11,000 punters – each of whom paid 70 euros for the privilege – packed the halls to see tournament play, go hands-on with StarCraft II and Wrath of the Lich King, sit in on in-depth developer panels and to dance and dress like orcs. Oh, and there was a little announcement… you may have heard about it.?
Yes, Diablo iii was unveiled, and over the course of the weekend we were able to see quite a bit of... Read More
Hoverboard This is standard-issue equipment in VCTF and Warfare modes. You'll always have it, and it can be deployed at any time with the tap of a button. This is a great way to get around quickly, but it provides no protection, and leaves you vulnerable to knockdowns. Any damage you take will result in an immediate wipeout, as will colliding with objects. In short: It takes practice to use the Hoverboard well, but it's an important skill, especially for Vehicle Capture the Flag, where this i... Read More
Impact Hammer This is the only melee weapon in Unreal Tournament III. Essentially a small hydraulic ram, the Impact Hammer can be charged up to deal some serious damage. Hold the fire button to charge up the Hammer and when you come into contact with an enemy, the weapon will automatically release. Fully charged, this weapon can deal 140 damage; enough to one-hit kill all but the most heavily armored opponents. Still, the very limited range of this weapon, coupled with the fast-paced nature o... Read More
Deathmatch The classic staple of online first-person shooters since the very beginning. Deathmatch hasn't changed much over the years, and Unreal Tournament iii isn't going to rock the boat. This is not a tactical game, and survival will take skill and reflexes. The basic Deathmatch mode is a free-for-all where the man with the highest frag count wins. As such, defense is not as important as in Duels and TDM. You don't want to be giving up easy points to your opponent, but with so ma... Read More
The Gib Olympics have come to Xbox 360. After a four year wait, Epic has finally ported its flagship gut-buster over to Xbox 360 and into the jaws of Xbox Live. If you want to see spluttering intestines imploding with the subtlety of a firecracker in a mince pie, get your pen ready. You're going to want to sign up for this.
It's clear Epic had two objectives with Unreal Tournament iii on 360. Firstly, they wanted to make more cash than a mint does in a month, and secondly, they were o... Read More
Leonard Boyarsky, lead world designer, and Brian Morrisroe, art director, got up on stage at Blizzard's Worldwide Invitational 2008 to explain a bit about Diablo III's general visual and narrative design. It seems one of the main goals for the designers is to make the game world more emotionally engaging for the player without detracting from the game's action elements.
Morrisroe went into depth on the importance of art design as it relates to narrative and gameplay. First off, he said... Read More
