The upcoming Prince of Persia: Prodigy was quite the eye opener when I first learned about it. Well those screens I posted were rather small, so I found some new and larger ones on Tiscali Games.
Enjoy
My Metal Gear Solid: Essential Collection is on its way here! What better way to hype up the game than to play through the predecessor? How about some screenshots from the previous trailers?
$100 000 for 15 months of work. That’s what Michael Hollick, voice of Niko Bellic, made. That’s it. No more. Voice actors don’t receive residuals for games like they do for other entertainment mediums.
“For instance, our contracts say nothing about the use of voices for promotional purposes over the Internet,” Mr. Hollick said. “The first G.T.A. IV trailer generated something like 40 million hits online, and that’s my voice all over it, and I get nothing. If that were a radio spot, I would have. Same thing for the TV ads.

Sucks for him, but on the bright side, he is known now. If all else fails, he could always rent himself like Roman did.
Tri-Ace, developer of Star Ocean, announced today that their Xbox 360 exclusive, Infinite Undiscovery, will be shipping on September 2nd, 2008. Worldwide.

It looks like the iPhone 3G people have been wanting since day one of the iPhone’s launch is finally launching next month. Well that is if these rumors are to be believed. I’d love to get an iPhone, but the lack of unlimited data rate plans for cheap scare me away.
Hopefully, AMD’s Game! initiative will be more successful than their Live! one. If widly adopted, this initiative will help mainstream gamers pick out games and compatible PCs with relative ease. Just match the logos and you’re good to go. If only it included Intel and NVIDIA components…
Next, it appears that Xbox 360 exclusive, Splinter Cell: Conviction is starting over. Can’t say I cared much for the original concept so this news is welcomed.
Finally, Chair Entertainment, developer of Undertow, is receiving a new beginning under the wing of Epic Games. Hopefully, they’ll continue with creating XBLA games.
It looks like AMD and NVIDIA are gearing up for a GPU war next month. That is if rumors are to be believed.
Here’s the rumored break down for AMD:
NVIDIA’s breakdown which includes the GT200 based cards (formerly known as GeForce 9900 series):
As for performance? We only have preliminaries for the AMD cards.
GameTrailers put up part 2 of their Metal Gear Retrospective. It’s really quite excellent. Check it out for those who have no intentions of replaying or playing through the previous ones.
I almost forgot when Alone in the Dark was coming out. Did you know the Xbox 360 version was coming out on June 24th? I didn’t. Well now we both know.
The tech demos were very impressive, but have you seen some the screens? Here’s mish mash of art and in-game shots from the Xbox 360 build.
