Already a hit on Apple’s iDevices, developer Firemint’sFlight Controlwill be making its way to the Wii soon. The developer recently confirmed the title, after the game was rated by the Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification. Outside of admitting that yes, they did submit the game for classification (obviously!), Firemint is remaining tight-lipped on the details. “We don’t have any further details to share at this point,” we were told....
Now we’re talking my language!Warhammer 40,000: Space Marineis a game I have been waiting a long time to hear about, and THQ has finally started the ball rolling with the first ever official screens. There are only two so far, but considering we’ve heard nothing for years, it’s a considerable step up. It looks like Orks will be the primary antagonists inSpace Marine, at least according to these shots. Plenty of greenskins getting cut up and shot to ribbons, which is okay by me....
Did you ever buy a Wonderswan? I mean, just for the hell of it? I did. You can find them for less than $20 in Japan. Games are even cheaper. They’re nothing special. Just another non-Nintendo portable that came and went. Developer Qute wasn’t even a big deal on the Wonderswan. Back in the day they made a hobby programming kit called Wonder Witch for the portable. It held development contests on this kit, and two top placing titles,Judgement SilverswordandDicingKnight, were given actual Wonderswan release, saysAndriasang....
Luxoflux has revealed thatTransformers: Revenge of the Fallenwill be getting a downloadable expansion pack, one that contains a few items that could have rescued the game from a cruel4.5 review on Destructoid. Chief among the additions is Starscream as he was always meant to be — appearing in his glorious Generation 1 form. G1 Starscream is but one of ten brand new characters that the pack is adding. A number of new characters will also be available for single-player as well as the multiplayer modes....
Ah, Monolith. The studio that brought us such macabre fare asCondemned: Criminal OriginsandFEAR, but also made those happy-go-luckyNo One Lives Forevergames. The company has always been versatile, and one need only examine their entire game catalogue to truly understand how far the company has come in its relatively short lifespan. Take, for example, this week’s forgotten game. It’s one of Monolith’s older titles, but it’s still one of their best: the game isClaw, and it’s a 2D action side-scroller that follows the adventures of an anthropomorphic cat and his quest for a talisman of immortality....
With the release ofGrand Theft Auto IV: Episodes From Liberty City, Rockstarhas declaredthat this is the end for Liberty City, the game’s New York-inspired location. In the manual for the freshly released game, a teaser page bears the message: “Liberty City! It’s Over!” Underneath that message is the phrase: “Next Stop.” The image has a pretend rip in the paper, “revealing” the location underneath it. However, all that’s pictured is a small bit of landscape and the word “seagull,” which gives us no clue whatsoever as to where the next location may be....
Did you catchthe teaser forinSANE, the new project from THQ and filmmaker Guillermo del Toro? It aired during the Spike Video Game Awards this weekend and didn’t tell us a whole lot that we didn’t already know. The partnership between THQ and del Toro hasn’t exactly been kept a secret or anything so, apart from some tentacles to demonstrate that the game has creepy intentions, the reveal failed to reveal much of anything....
Nippon Ichi has opened up an official teaser site forDisgaea 4, making this the announcement of the game (though a retailer let slip yesterday of its existence). Up above you can see a trailer, pretty much the only thing there is to see on the site right now until it officially opens on October 7th. It looks likeDisgaeato me, but what do I know? My sum knowledge of the games consists of Prinnies, demon schools and tactical combat....

If you went to your mailbox one morning and found an Xbox 360 shipped to your home by mistake, would you keep it? What if it strangely contained a note to ship the package to Africa and provided you the stamps to do so, would you send it on, keep it or ship it back? Sure, most of us would want to keep it. I mean how many times does an expensive console just appear on your doorstep for free?...
Perhaps you won’t immediately recognizeLimboby name, but thissmall video clipfrom last year certainly had the memories rushing back to me. There’s a startling lack of information about this up and coming puzzle platformer from Denmark-based Playdead, but I suspect that’ll change soon enough. Next week is GDC, after all, andLimbowas nominated for Technical Excellence as well as Excellence in Visual Art at this year’s Independent Games Festival. Anyway, the big news here is that it’s coming to consoles worldwide this year, with “a summer launch exclusively on Xbox LIVE Arcade....
Sucker Punch hastoday revealedthat the European release ofinFAMOUSwill not be shipping with an English voice track in certain parts of Europe. While the UK will obviously be getting an English language version, it seems that Italy, France, Germany, Spain and the Netherlands will have no option. The English language version will itself only contain Portuguese and Russian voice options. This may well prove an unpopular move, as evidenced by reactions already appearing on the Sucker Punch forums....
Man, you gotta love a studio like Insomniac. Not only are they one of thebest companies in America to work forand, I’m told, shower their employees with money and naked attractive people on a daily basis, but they’ve also got hearts the size of Buicks. The word on IGN is that Insomniac, in partnership with popular tear-jerking television show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, will unveil a digital version of 9-year-old James Westbrook for use in their upcomingRatchet and Clank Futureon the PS3....
