Dear Videogames
Dear Videogame Industry, Harder does not necessarily equal better. No, I’m not referring Demon’s Souls, the difficulty is inherent in the gameplay. Instead, this is a long-standing complaint that I have, and many others do as well, they just don’t say anything. I’m saying something. There are a number of ways which difficulty is poorly used. One of the most blatant and pervasive is the varying degree of difficulty within a game, as well as within a level. ...

Activision Keynote CES 09
Mike Griffith, President & CEO of Activision headed up a keynote that began with members of the Neversoft development team behind Guitar Hero: Metallica performing “Fuel”. When he did come out, he mentioned that he wanted to talk about how videogames would be eclipsing all other forms of entertainment in the future. The guitar Hero franchise is an example of this where the musical experience taps into two markets, both music and videogames. Music sales are ...

Unleashing Info
In honor of the Werehog’s limited ability to appear in daylight hours, we will send out these informative blasts celebrating the full moon and all the entertainment and mischievous chaos it brings to life.
To start, let’s step back and make sure you know where this story begins – Dr. Eggman is once again causing trouble and is finally cornered by Sonic. Though it seems certain these are his final moments and Dr. Eggman ...

Konami Music/Rhythm Roundup
It was hard not to notice how Konami’s section of the pavilion floor at this year’s E3 was dominated by music-rhythm games. Roughly half of the games they showed this year, in fact, were music-rhythm games. With most of these merely updates to established series, it seemed like the best idea to round everything up in one article to give you an idea of what’s back, what’s changed, and what’s new.
Taking up the most space ...

Crave at E3 2008
Normally I try to start these articles with some kind of overview of a publisher’s wares before I go into further detail further on, but I don’t think I can do that here. Just how am I supposed to make an overview for a list of games that includes a bull-riding sim, a strategy/puzzle game involving penguin warfare, and a mini-golf game featuring a hillbilly Elvis impersonator?
The first game in Crave’s lineup, PBR: Out of ...
Sony Press Conference
Sony Computer Entertainment America began its E3 2008 press conference amidst a bank of 65screens and monitors. It was an overwhelming display. Jack Trent, President & CEO came out, talked about achievements of not just the PlayStation3, but the entire PlayStation brand. This included not only sales figures but also the Blu-ray victory in the high-definition format war over HD-DVD. Then he brought it together with “genre defining kick-ass games” - and not just the ...

Developer Diary
Hervé Sliwa, Lead Designer, Eden Games
Inspiration and Innovation
We were so impressed by the legacy of Alone in the Dark we wanted something very ambitious and very innovative, so the first proposal was in fact maybe a little bit too ambitious and too innovative, which meant it looked very risky to a producer. And we had a difficult start – the project was killed once, and after that we were so motivated to make this ...

Jumper Q&A
Tell us a little bit about Jumper: Griffin’s Story?
The Jumper game follows the character Griffin, who is a skilled jumper on a quest to avenge the death of his parents, an event that has shaped is life since he was child. The game story runs parallel to David’s (Hayden Christenson’s character) in the film and intersects at a few points – but in the game we learn even more about the Paladin organization, their mission ...

Predictions for 2008
Now that we’ve put all the 2007 predictions behind us, it’s time to look ahead to a new year. What will 2008 bring? What big changes will mold the industry over the next year? Will Duke Nukem Forever actually see release? I’ll attempt to lift the veil of the unknown to find out. With any luck, all these brain training games have improved my much-touted psychic abilities, so this time will be even more accurate ...

Bioshock
As stated in our review of the game, Bioshock doesn’t do anything especially new on a technical level. As a spiritual successor to the System Shock games, much of what makes this game tick has already been laid down in those earlier titles. However, what really makes Bioshock shine is the pure creative genius lovingly poured into every dank, rusty corner of ...

The Top 10 Things That ROCKED In 2007
Like every year, 2007 had its fair share of ups and downs. On the one hand, this is the first year in a long while that not a single new game system was released (that is, unless you count the PSP Slim, Xbox 360 Elite, or one of the other various console redesigns). What’s more, one could argue that last year’s additions to the market, the PS3 and Wii, haven’t completely shaken off the post-launch ...

2007 Prediction Results
In late 2006 (well… technically, early 2007), I made some predictions about what the following year would bring. Well, it’s one year later, I thought we’d take a look back and see just how accurate I was before I make some new predictions for the following year. Here’s what I said (truncated for easier reading), and how it turned out, with helpful green, yellow, and red highlights to show where we were absolutely right, where ...

CES 08: EZ Gear
At CES this year EZ Gear was there displaying a number of peripherals. First up was the EZ Jam guitar controller. It has 10 frets – 5 “normal” where you would expect them, and 5 at the top of the neck for those without as much reach (like kids). I tried it out, and it seems to work just fine, but at my height, I couldn’t accurately judge the effectiveness of the features this ...

Manhunt, Censorship, and the ESRB
Bully ended up being born to a whimper rather than a roar, and it looks Rockstar’s bad boy era was over. The whole Hot Coffee issue had taken its toll, and maybe they had just decided to take a break between rounds with industry regulators. Fresh from their respite, Rockstar came out swinging announcing its newest game Manhunt 2. This was a title that brought with it more than a little bit ...

Why I’m A Gamer
EDITOR'S NOTE: We here at Digital Entertainment News don't like manifestos. There seems to have been a trend in the last couple of years for gamers, reviewers, or whomever to make some bold declaration. This isn't a political movement, this is entertainment. When Mark posted up something on his personal website, I immediately asked if we could use it here, because this isn't so much a manifesto, as it is a wonderful summation of the ...

A Letter to Sonic the Hedgehog
Geez, Sonic. Just look at you. You used to stand toe to toe with Mario himself, and now you’re just a damn embarrassment. Sure, your 2D exploits may have been a little on the shallow side, but at least they were fun. But when you tried to make the jump to 3D, it hit you hard, and just kept getting worse for you.
I mean, Sonic Adventure had its good moments, to be sure, but ...
