Taking Stock: The Gibson-Goldstein Index
Valve
Company fulfills PC gaming savior role, announcing Steam Cloud service that will save saves forever.
Prince of Persia Marketing
CG trailer marked by stilted narration and art style totally divergent from actual game. If only we could rewind the time we spent watching it.
Age of Conan
Records 400,000 users out of the gate. Only 9.6 million to go.
Guitar Hero On Tour
Surprisingly, the handheld guitar game is fun. But the trailer sure made us wiggle wiggle wiggle in our seats, and not in a good way.
Beyond Good & Evil 2
Sequel to cult hit finally on its way, with creator Michel Ancel on board. But "more accessible" comment is beyond silly & confounding.
Far Cry 2
Looking good, playing good. Who would have thought a non-Crytek stab could be this interesting?
PlayStation 3 Owners
Finally getting BioShock this October--more than a year after its Xbox 360 release. Better late than never.
"There's a sort of sense of, we're climbing up the mountain. We're nowhere near the top, but we're halfway up."
Sony CEO Howard Stringer, expressing optimism on the progress of the PlayStation 3.
"We really didn't want to go there."
Far Cry 2 lead artist Alex Amancio, explaining why the shooter will not include endangered animals, or encourage the killing of the non-endangered variety.
"We had a different audience at that time. We had more core gamers than casual gamers than we have today. We think the game was probably a little too difficult for the general gamers at that time. We're going to make it more accessible and make sure that it's really done for the new generation that's come into video games."
Ubisoft President Yves Guillemot, commenting on his company's approach to Beyond Good & Evil 2.
