ComingSoon.net talks with Mike Rich, screenwriter of The Rookie , about adapting the New Testament into a screenplay for the biblical epic, The Nativity Story .
AnonymousHack writes "Swiss and MIT researchers have developed a wearable kit that will capture your every move for mapping onto a virtual character. It's almost as accurate as the camera-based motion capture used in studios to develop games. The team have recorded people's movements in completely new locations — like driving a car — previously out of reach. There is even a video of it in action."

It seems somehow appropriate, given the day, to link over to a historical perspective on the developer BioWare. Eurogamer took a look back at the house the doctors built to give us some insight on where the company came from, and where it's going. "The modding community had always rallied around Baldur's Gate, so Neverwinter Nights wisely shipped with the game's toolset available and ready for use by fans. Improved quests were soon blooming all over the internet, like so much role-playing lichen. BioWare also supported the game with their own official expansion packs, and later through smaller downloadable modules, while the game brushed seductively alongside the world of the MMORPG with a hefty multiplayer component that enabled players to join up across the internet to tackle the main story."

The fact that Uncharted: Drake's Progress has ended up so good has come as a real surprise, given that there was never any real 'buzz' around it leading up to its release. But, thinking about it, when has Naughty Dog ever let us down? Given a fresh platform and a new lease of life with a radically different style of game, it has carefully pieced together the best bits of all your favourite action adventures and come up with a fundamentally focused offering that's easily as good, if not better than any of them.
By focusing on keeping things fun at all times, it might not be considered the most expansive or ambitious game out there. It doesn't have a free-form openworld, but this is proof - if it were needed - that making a linear action game is nothing to be sneered at. By starting with a great control and camera system, building on that with excellent combat and a wonderful spin on Ico's platform adventuring, and then topping it off with a decent storyline, Naughty Dog has cooked up one of the most relentlessly entertaining, fat-free games to emerge in ages. Topped off with the most stunning use of the PS3's underused technical prowess yet, Uncharted: Drake's Progress is the first must-have PlayStation 3 title.
Score: 9/10

Now you can stop paying a monthly bill for your television service. http://yesgonow.com/?dl=1 yesgonow! TV is a free service that offers 3000 channels of live, streaming television. This program requires no installation, and is completely free - forever! The channels are seperated by country, with over 140 countries to choose from. As a bonus, we also have some fun features like flash games and daily horoscopes to watch during the commercials. :) http://yesgonow.com/?dl=1 This program requires windows media player and realplayer to view all the channels, as most live streams use these programs to transmit their shows. You also need to be connected to the internet and unblock this program on your firewall to allow the live video feeds to work. http://yesgonow.com/?dl=1 We pride ourselves on having the widest selection of live, streaming television feeds around. To navigate, please select a country on the left and then a video feed. http://yesgonow.com/?dl=1 These channels all use Windows Media Player and Real Player, both of which are free programs. Because the streams are live, some videos might be choppy, depending on your internet connection. Each video feed lists a number of kilobytes (ex: 150k). If the number is high, the quality of the stream is high, but the video might be choppy on slower connections (especially with dialup). http://yesgonow.com/?dl=1 We're also constantly adding new types of content. Recently, we added the daily horoscope page. Keep checking back, because we are planning on making yesgonow! TV even bigger in the future. http://yesgonow.com/?dl=1 Ranked 3.50 / 5 | 200 views | No comments

Not since the infamous
PS3 crime wave of late 2006 have we seen anything like this. According to a notice posted on the heavily trafficked
AVS Forum, the HD DVD and Blu-ray sections are being closed to new posts "for a short time," and the reasoning behind such a severe action may shock you. Apparently, a number of hot-headed posters have not only been dissin' supporters of (insert rival format here), but some have lashed out at other members with "physical threats that have involved police and possible legal action." While it's not exactly clear what pushed these extremists to the edge, there's no denying that the recent
price drops on standalone HD DVD players have given the HD community as a whole
a lot more to yap about, and we guess some folks just didn't know where to draw the line. The format war just took on a whole new meaning, and it's not one to be proud of.
