Tripwire Interactive, the studio formed by members of the team responsible for the award-winning Unreal Tournament 2004 mod Red Orchestra, has picked up Teotl Studios' award-winning Unreal Tournament 3 mod The Ball and is running with it. More »
Looks like the Wii is trailing off a bit when it comes to software, but things are still growing. They’re just not jumping up as quickly as the PS2 did. Can Nintendo turn this around with their stellar lineup for this year?
Amidst all the hubbub around the question of whether Kinect can or can't handle a player sitting on a couch, one related question seems to have been lost: Can Kinect handle players lying on the floor? This important issue was finally addressed at a session of the Develop Conference in Brighton today, and the answer is a definitive "kind of."
Speaking at the session, Blitz Games CTO Andrew Oliver said his team ran into this very issue when developing their The Biggest Loser: Ultimate Workout game for Kinect. Many of the exercises on The Biggest Loser TV show, such as push-ups and certain yoga poses, require lying on the ground.
Replicating these in the game offered a new challenge for Microsoft's 3D motion sensing hardware, and apparently it's a test the hardware fails. Oliver reported lying on the ground fundamentally breaks the 3D skeleton of your body detected by the Kinect camera and technology. "We had to consider, would this skeletal tracking ever realistically be able to work out that a player is laying on the floor," Oliver said. "We asked - believe me we asked - and we were told it wasn't going to happen."

Zombie Studios' Blacklight: Tango Down has been released for PC today (via Games For Windows - Live currently and soon to be on Steam and Impulse). It debuted on Xbox Live Arcade just last week and has yet to reach PSN -- though it's expected "in the coming weeks." Zombie is already working on the sequel, though.
Confirmed by our sister site Big Download, Zombie CEO Mark Long said his studio is aiming for a summer 2011 release for Blacklight: Tango Down 2 (working title). The sequel will feature larger maps than those included in the first game and implement mech-like vehicles into the gameplay.
Long also confirmed that there are currently no plans to offer DLC for the first Blacklight: Tango Down beyond patches to fix any persistent bugs.

The latest class revealed for ArenaNet's Guild Wars 2 is the Ranger, a bow-using, pet-charming, trap-setting class that might just out-hunt World of Warcraft's Hunter class. More »
When SEGA said that there was franchise-changing news about Sonic coming our way, the only thing I could think of was a new voice actor. To my surprise, it seems like things are heading in that direction.
Current Sonic voice actor Jason Griffith seems to be on the way out. He has confirmed that [...]

The Kore Gang will be published by Pixonauts KG in Germany. There are plans for an international release, but no specific details at this time.
You had plenty of ideas for how to spend that Jackson burning a hole in your pocket. Maybe you were going to feed yourself or make a donation to your favorite charity, but we thought you should know that Amazon has discounted the PS3 version of Bayonetta to $20 for the day. It's almost destiny, right?
We understand the PS3 version is the lousier incarnation of the game, so if you've got two Jackson's buried in your pocket, you could instead snag the Xbox 360 version for $36 and change (and still have enough left over for a light meal). Either way, you owe it to yourself to sample Platinum Games' unique brand of craziness -- trust us.
It has taken all this time, and after years and years of requests from 4CHAN users, there’s now an official place to discuss Pokemon on the site. Yes, 4CHAN actually has a Pokemon image board now. I stopped going to 4CHAN awhile back, but I might have to start frequenting this board!
It's another fairly dry week for European PSN additions, though the release of DeathSpank serves as a cool, soothing oasis. If dipping your toes into Ron Gilbert's action-RPG doesn't sound like a satisfying venture, you could always embark on the new, downloadable map pack for Trine, or you could ... download some Crash Commando Avatars. That sounds like fun, doesn't it?
