Until now, the hit musical "Grease" has kept it's successes to the silver screen and the stage. But recently 505 games and Paramount pictures have announced that they will be collaborating to bring the musical to your Nintendo DS and Wii. So click on the jump to find out more!
Square Enix, for all 34 years they have been producing games always made their own accompanying video game trailers—that is until Front Mission Evolved. The guys down at Big Machine Design were beyond surprised when they received a request from Square Enix to make a top-secret trailer for E3 2009 in Los Angeles. How long did they have to make a trailer from scratch for one of the biggest developers out there? A mere four weeks. This was no simple task, and I had the pleasure of talking to them one on one about what it took to make this groundbreaking trailer for none other then Square Enix.
I was just a special guest on GamePro's video podcast, Thirsty Thursdays, which is a beer-fueled podcast about games. I love these guys, they are some of the most fun and silliest guys to hang out with. I had a great time shooting this with them and I hope to be asked to back again in the future.
Also, please check out a recent interview I did over at ResumePlay.net. K thanks!
A new trailer for Capcom's Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles was just recently released and it's an on-rails shooter that will play with the Wiimote or Wii Zapper. This new Resident Evil title is also promised to be able to adjust its difficulty on its own, depending on the players skill level.
I was able to play a bit of this game while at E3 and even though I am not a big fan of "rail shooters", this one seemed to give me a little more wandering room than most. I would call it a next-gen action-arcade rail shooter...if that makes any sense.
Look for Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles this November.
E3 may have been a month ago, but something that is still fresh in my mind are the games presented in ijji's panel. There were three FPS' and one MMORPG. I was given the chance to play two of the shooters. For you PC gamers, these could be a new favorite. There will be a separate article for the second shooter I played, but for now, check out Alliance of Valiant Arms! Before I explain much on A.V.A, I want to stress my repulsion for shooters of any kind. I've never liked them much and I've never been a big PC gamer; perhaps because I wasn't given much chance. Regardless, neither of these classifications have appealed to me much over the years. Having said that, I was impressed with Ijji's new line of games. Here's why:

Although I'm pretty proud of the small collection of figurines I own, Morrigan from Darkstalkers, Ryuk from Deathnote and Amaha Masane from WitchBlade to name a few, Sideshow Collectibles puts my shelf to shame. I recently found out that they have introduced the Barbarian from Diablo III!
For six years, the Pirate Bay has been a bastion of the anti-copyright (pro-piracy) movement. It was originally created by the Swedish anti-copyright group Piratbyrån (the Piracy Bureau in English) and is run out of Sweden, though they do own backup servers in Russia and Belgium. It is the world's largest Bittorrent tracker with the most traffic at which over 25 million people use the site to find and share files (including copyrighted material).
In 2006 Swedish police raided and shut them down, confiscating it servers and other equipment. The site was back up and running only a few days later, but this raid eventually led to charges being filed against the four operators of TPB in 2008.
PSP has definitely been missing some punch when it comes to the games department. After checking out the list, I have to admit that this is the first time in a while that there are a fair amount of games coming out for the system. Maybe Sony finally took notice and will start working on games rather than trying to upgrade the system. Anyway, with a good look ahead I decided to post My Top 7 Upcoming Games for the PSP.
There has been a new game created for the Wii by some students at IT University of Copenhagen called "Dark Room Sex Game", where basically the whole game is played by understanding the different moans and groans before an orgasm. Dark Room Sex Game is played completely without visuals and is a two-player game with a four-player multiplayer mode. The object of the game is to find the perfect rhythm with your partner based soley on bedroom audio clues and to ultimately bring your Wii to an orgasm. I am not making this up. The four-player mode is much more scandalous and is basically a full blown orgy as players randomly swap partners to see who can bring the Wii to an orgasm the fastest. This sounds like the best party game ever!

A blue post appeared on the forums today from Blizzard Poster Nethaera. The post was regarding player's request for a faction change service that is now in development. Nethaera goes on to stress the work involved in making this happen in a fair and equal way for all World of Warcraft players. Then Nethaera hints at the possibility of this feature hitting the PTRs (Public Test Realms) soon. It is clear this service is very much in the development stages and it could be quite some time until we get this option, let alone hear more about it.
It is a service many Warcraft players have been waiting for. Blizzard already offers so many other services such as; paid name changes and paid character transfers. There is no word yet on how much, if anything, will this service cost and the requirements. I know I have always wondered what it would be like to just switch factions of my character. Not just that but, how would they determine what race turns into what? I could be an human Alliance member and switch to a Blood Elf of the Horde... Sounds like a great idea to let players have this but knowing Blizzard we won't see this for awhile.
