In the end, there will be only chaos, but in the beginning there was only fear. Fear that God of War III wouldn’t leave up to Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2’s graphical benchmark, God of War III director, Stig Asmussen said.
Games Are Evil writes: "The Sonic series has fooled me before, though. Sega’s playing their last card with me, by making this Sonic the Hedgehog FOUR. They’re going all in on this one, and if their hand isn’t good enough, I will be done for good with this series. There will be no more Sonic in my life, because I have been letdown by it too many times to keep thinking it will improve. So, Sega and Dimps, re-earn my trust. Give me the payoff my eternal faith in the series deserves, or I will not be there the next time."
Writing about videogames is not generally the stuff of Woodward and Bernstein. Occasionally, a hostile public relations manager will make your life difficult, or you’ll lose a scoop to a rival publication. Trying to get a good interview while a game’s in development can be challenging, especially if that game isn’t in its official PR swing yet. But for the most part, this is the entertainment industry: The consumers want to read about it, the producers want to talk about it, and the rest is just details.
So it was with some surprise that GameSpy encountered a wall of fear and paranoia when they called around, asking developers to talk about religion in gaming.
Grumpy Gurevitz Writes: Recently there has been a spate of predictions that we will soon see the end of the console war, with us being presented with a platform which either supports multiple operating systems, or which is an open platform. The argument is, eventually all publishers and developers will support this as their primary development platform. The other method by which the prediction might come true is that we also might still end up using different platforms, but via a a control box which then accesses the games via the great server in the sky, otherwise known as Cloud computing.
TMC: Let’s begin with a simple question….Imagine yourself owner of a famous video games company, It doesn’t need to be an specific one..any company that comes to your mind. Now ask yourself, should my multimillionaire video game company (X Name) fear the arrival of another video game on a rival console?
Joystick Radio Writes: "Modern Warfare 2 is going to have to have a Leaderboard reset, plain and simple. With all the boosting, glitching, and exploiting, the current Modern Warfare 2 Leaderboards are not legitimate. I’m sure Infinity Ward doesn’t want to reset the Leaderboards in fear of upsetting the community, but it has to be done."
Gamers have long feared news like this, but then again, what’s there to fear? Will we trade in our controls for a motion sensing device? If left to Microsoft, that answer would be yes.

Pixel Enemy: Modern Warfare 2 has been in the hands of the gaming masses for a few days and already gamers are looking to get their next FPS fix. With no dedicated servers on the PC, PS3 servers crashing, and some calling the game a $60 DLC pack, it seems Infinity Ward might have dropped the ball with MW2. Fear not, because for once it looks like EA (yes, that EA) is coming to the rescue with Battlefield: Bad Company 2.
