simoniker writes "A new 'Analyze This' feature on Gamasutra examines analysts' views on the rise of Nintendo's Wii and DS, and how well game publishers have reacted to it, with Wedbush Morgan's Michael Pachter commenting: 'It's hard to criticize anyone for putting too much faith in the PS3, as most [publishers] haven't created "cutting edge" titles yet for that platform. Most of the PS3 titles so far have been perennial titles, like Madden, Tony Hawk, etc ... I'd say that most failed to capitalize on the DS and Wii opportunity. The exception on the DS side is THQ, which has made every game it can for the platform. On the Wii side, Ubisoft took a big chance by making ten games for the [Wii] launch window, and it has performed very well, so far. I think that the others will catch up no later than early next year.'"

Far Cry 2's narrative designer Patrick Redding revealed that they have taken inspiration from, of all things, Professor Layton and the Curious Village for DS. You see the blocks of text there?" he said, pointing to a screen demo at last week's Games Convention "We kind of took a page from Professor Laytons game on DS, to give the player a recap in text of what hes been up to up to this point. He explained that the story is dynamic and assembled on the fly, so the text blocks are there to give players a description up to that point. So there's no sheep and wolf puzzles in Far Cry 2, but it's still something.

It appears America will never recover from the ignominy of the Nixon presidency, and we are fated to replay it again, and again, and again in books, specials and movies. And here we go again! Ron Howard's new film Frost/Nixon sports an impressive cast with actors like Frank Langella, Michael Sheen and Sam Rockwell, and will in all likelihood be a very entertaining film. Check out the trailer after the jump.

RockPaperShotgun reports:
"There really does seem to be a lot of confusion regarding the pricing of Warhammer Online. You'll remember that a couple of weeks back the EU prices were announced, and we called them into question, noticing they were simply conversions of Euro into Pound, not only very odd numbers, but numbers well above the competition. We nagged at the UK PR, Indigo Pearl, and they eventually came back to us with new prices in line with what we'd expect. Well, madly, it doesn't end there."

Both critics and gamers like nothing more than to put down any attempts to create a traditional RTS game on a console. We all tend to blame the poor little pad. This harsh treatment had lead a few studios to attempt the impossible by building an RTS from the ground up specifically for a console's user interface rather than porting over something that already exists on PC.
Ensemble Studios' attempt at the Halo strategy game would be a fine example of this approach. But going one step further and almost doing away with the pad altogether is Tom Clancy's: EndWar. Why press buttons when you can just shout into a headset? Who cares if your neighbours think you've gone barking mad? CVC recently talked to all-round strategy man and creative director on the title, Michael de Plater.

ComingSoon.net sits down with Rainn Wilson (and a bunch of other journalists) to talk to him about his new rock comedy The Rocker about a former metal drummer who gets another chance to rock twenty years after being booted out of his band, a bitter awakening that nearly killed his rock star dreams.
During a playable demo of Unreal Tournament III at the Edinburgh Interactive Festival, we spotted something very interesting on the game?s menu system. It?s called Gamercard and it doesn?t seem too unlikely a possibility that this will turn out to be a unique player identity system, not entirely dissimilar to the Xbox 360?s Gamertag system that manages player stats and achievements.
We quizzed Epic?s Mark Rein about and he did little to dispel our assumptions saying quickly ?Oops, you shouldn?t have seen that?. We would have liked to grabbed a pic, and were little deterred by the venue?s strict no camera phone policy and dodgy lighting, however Mark Rein?s rapid covering of the projector with his hand put pay to that cunning idea.
Needless to say, we have little to go on. It is accessed with the Triangle button if that makes any difference to you. It is also anyone?s guess whether this is a future Sony project that will cover the whole of the PlayStation Network or whether it is simply a feature of UT3. But I?m betting that the secrecy surrounding it indicates a new PS3 feature. More news as we get it.
The original "StarCraft" is one of the most successful video games of all time. The sci-fi real-time strategy game debuted more than a decade ago and had sold more than nine million copies as of the spring of last year.
No doubt the sales would have been even bigger if the game had global distribution from the start. With years of experience in China behind it, the game publisher now looks like it will be aggressive about launching the game early in China.

A couple months ago, there were murmurs that ABC's hit show, Lost, would be making it's debut on Blu-ray with the release of the third season of the show. Shortly after the rumors hit the interwebs, Disney stomped out hopes and denied that such a thing was happening. Luckily, this is one of those times where the corporation lied just to hide the good news for a bit longer. Disney has officially announced that the third season of Lost will be released on Blu-ray at the same time as the DVD release on December 11th.

Since time immemorial, or since maybe 2004, we have received missives from a person called The Earl Grey. As frequently as possible, we print these letters as a service to society.
Thursday, July 26, 2007. 7:45 pm. I'm on the Hampton Jitney, Montauk Highway, Route 27, we pull into the forlorn Southampton Jitney HQ/Health Spa parking lot. I'm drowsy from a full afternoon on Main Beach, when I notice famed New Journalism author & bon vivant TOM WOLFE walking slowly to his car in the parking lot just beneath my bus window.
Wolfe's owl-like visage is unmistakable, but I'm very put off by the rag tag outfit he's wearing this mid-summer evening. Normally of course one imagines Wolfe dressed to the nines in his signature ice cream white suit, custom dress shirt, silk tie and jazz-age spat shoes.
Shockingly, Wolfe is wearing faded, worn navy sweatpants, ill-fitting and slovenly, as one might wear for a touch football game on the Great Lawn. He has on a royal blue shirt rolled up at the sleeves. The cut and hue of the shirt actually has a sloppy cowboy denim shirt quality to it. Wolfe has balloon-like white sneakers on his feet, most like the casual Reebok white aerobic shoes that my father sported in South Beach a couple of years before his death. Wolfe's famous parted grey hair is all askew, splayed across his forehead and touching his eye and nose like some gator-trailed, drunken Brooklyn hipster at Studio B's closing time.
Wolfe walks the few steps to his car [perhaps he was dropping off a friend for the ride back to Manhattan; I caught the bus in Amagansett at 6:50 but it took us an hour to reach South]. His choice of automobile was the only aspect of the experience that seemed suited to the great author. Wolfe's car was a Cadillac, in the pristine ice cream white that one sees in his custom three-piece suits. It's a Caddy of fairly recent vintage, big and boxey and somewhat inflated like his white Reebok sneakers. It has a similar design quality to the Escalade, but it's a luxury 4 door Cadillac, big and puffy, not like the classic long, sleek Lincoln Towncar that I prefer; more like a sawed-off shoebox Rolls Royce design, but still impeccable in the whiteness of the paint and the opulence of the high suspension.
The other Wolfe-ian aspect were his rims: Wolfe had installed full white-walled wafer-like ice cream white metal disc rims inside his fat tires, with a showy Cadillac logo in the center. Very Palm Beach or Beverly Hills, I thought to myself. He inched out of his parking space, so, so slowly, a foot at a time, haltingly, perhaps wisely avoiding a collision with the huge lurking Jitney Prevost bus that has taken more than a few lives in past summers on Montauk Highway.
I suppose in the city Wolfe takes pride in his immaculate three piece suits and manicured Southern Gentleman profile. But like certain East Enders, he dresses way down in the country—yet making sure his choice of car bespeaks a man of over-arching, even intimidating, refinement, accomplishment, taste and means.

Times Online Reports: "Sony, the Japanese electronics and entertainment titan, may be poised to lose its 13-year title as the world's biggest games console maker despite a surprise jump in profits at its Playstation division.
Though currently riding high on continuing strong sales of the Playstation Portable and the recent launch of Konami's Metal Gear Solid 4, Sony seems likely to run a close second to Nintendo by the end of year if the two companies attain their respective shipment targets.
Efforts to lower the production costs of the hefty Playstation 3 appeared to have paid off, with operating profit Y5.4 billion in the quarter as opposed to the Y29 billion loss recorded this time last year.
But the return of black ink at the games division after so many quarters in the red was small consolation to investors, after the Japanese electronics giant yesterday unveiled group-wide results which one analyst at KBC said were "not pretty, however you slice and dice them."
'Dark Shadows' ran for more than a thousand episodes back in the late 60s and early 70s. For those of you who weren't around back then -- and didn't rush home from school every day to watch it -- the show told the story of the Collins family, living on their estate in Maine.

You might think I?m a terrible person for guffawing as some seventeen year old pours out her soul one tear drop at a time, but it?s really hard to drum up sympathy for some skank who slept with ten different men during a one week period without a thought of getting on birth control.

Filed under: Gaming, GPS
Only John Koller knows how serious John Koller, Sony's senior marketing manager for PSP, was when mentioning that GPS-enabled games could eventually hit the PSP, but he definitely threw it out there. Speaking about the forthcoming
GPS add-on for the PlayStation Portable, Koller stated that said module "changes the dynamics of GPS but also changes the way developers think about games on PSP, because you can start integrating GPS into it." He continued on by mentioning that Sony's own
first-party studios were "already looking at a number of things [involving GPS in games]," and concluded by asserting that a GPS game could land on the system as early as next year. Considering just
how long we've been waiting for the add-on, we're not holding our breath on the titles.
