The video game industry seems to be stuck in a rut. The problem is, developers and publishers have no idea that they’re in it. If you look at E3 2009’s lineup, you saw a ton of games that really wowed the crowd when it came to graphics. Now step back from the eye candy [...]

In a court case with the RIAA, the fine for a single pirated song was just around $80,000. If that’s the case for one song, how much could a game work out to? If we assume [the Thomas-Rasset verdict] is allowed to stand, the possible implication is that the individual works that comprise the greater [...]

Square-Enix is doing their best to promote the hell out of Dragon Quest IX. I am pretty sure everyone in Japan already knows about it, but just to make sure, Square-Enix is holding a launch event for Square-Enix Members in their ‘Virtual World’ online experience.

A portion of an EDGE interview with Gary Paterson, the creative director of FIFA 10… EDGE: Is there anything you’re itching to make much more complex? GP: There is, actually. It springs to mind occasionally when I’m in the office, and I think ‘that’s gonna have to wait until the next next gen.’ I know that there’s [...]

I think that games consoles - while they might be an important part of the industry now - might become niche in the next couple of years because it’s not at all clear if it even makes sense to deliver this type of gaming - social, with micro-transactions - on a home console. - Playfish’s [...]

“[The sports category] certainly has the characteristics of a category that would be interesting to us. But we would have to convince ourselves that we could enter successfully, accomplish leadership and that we’d have something new and different to bring to the party.

Were you thinking that Wii Sports Resort was going to be the only MotionPlus-supported game from Nintendo in 2009? I know that’s what I was thinking, but rumor has it that there will be not one, but two more titles published by the Big N that will feature support for the peripheral. Unfortunately, [...]

We’ve all been waiting for a big movie studio to create an Asteroids movie, right? Apparently Universal thinks so, as they’ve just picked up the rights to make one. Here’s the really strange part.
