While many people view Nintendo’s value by its properties – franchises like Donkey Kong, Mario, and Zelda – Prata said they are “not our most precious assets.” Rather, he stated, it’s the imagination that created them. At Nintendo, this manifests by looking closely at the world around. Game directors must use observation to discover a [...]

A portion of a TVG interview with John Drake of Harmonix… TVG: Would it be realistic to think that the entire Beatles catalogue might be available at some point? JD: The entire catalogue might be stretching it a bit. I think we’ll have a lot of the relevant and live music with four player band instrumentation. That [...]

The Family series of games has been moderately successful in the states. Arc System Works knows the series is popular, and they teased with an April’s Fools joke of a Family dating sim. Yes, that would mean that this family would be taking part in some questionable activities. The joke proved to be so [...]

David Beckham has been hanged in effigy outside a London pub, has had his photograph printed with a bull’s-eye around it in a British tabloid, and has endured visits to stadiums that roared with derogatory chants about his wife. At least not the way a 28-year-old video-game technician did Sunday night when he questioned Beckham’s loyalties [...]

Catch the details on the hundreds of improvements and features of this years rendition of the coolest sport on Earth!

“Basically we wanted to really give players another layer of replayability on a song. I mean, if you get four or five stars in the past, in career mode, you’ll basically be done with a song.

I’ve never been to an EVO event, but I’ve seen tons of videos of the event. Those videos both scare and intrigue me. I have no place setting foot at an event like this, because I truly suck at video games. With that said, I love watching from afar while these events [...]

A portion of a Joystiq review… Had I been reviewing the game (which I’m not) I would have closed by saying that the game’s multiplayer mode (basically just 2-4 people playing simultaneously) really helps to ease the difficulty and that, for $20, it’s an easy package to recommend. Full review here

Take a look at one of the methods used to create the auditory world of Final Fantasy XIII.

“In Japan, there had already been orchestral concerts of the music from Dragon Quest, and I realized that I could probably do a Final Fantasy one. Amazing. It’s amazing how powerful orchestral music is.” - Nobuo Uematsu This is just one part of a massive sit-down interview with Nobuo Uematsu and conductor Arnie Roth. [...]

Game balancing and destructible scenery spice up this ninja tourney.

“I can’t tell you what it was, but I was hired into EA to rebirth one of the franchises. This was almost six and a half years ago. Very quickly we realised that there’s something very fundamental in each of those games that makes them so special. I’d only ever want to do that [...]

We posted about the Architecture And Videogames panel last week, but now EDGE has posted up the full panel in audio form. You can grab that at the link below. The panel included Viktor Antonov, the art director behind Half-Life 2 and (the unfortunately on-hold) Arkane’s The Crossing, as well as a creative director and [...]

Unfortunately, there are some people that seem to think that these videos highlight inherent issues in the game. Obviously, I don’t agree with what this article says, but it’s always good to get another perspective. Article here
