M0th3r = Exp3ct1ng – F.3.A.R. 4nn0unc3d 4 PS3, PC n Xb0x
Don’t worry… It’s actually officially F.E.A.R. 3… F.3.A.R. is just on the box art.
Still, when will ‘marketing’ learn that putting txtsp34k in our titles doesn’t make the game more ‘hip’ or ‘cool’… It just makes the people who made the decision look like fucking tools!
Anyway, F.E.A.R. 3 has been announced for Xbox 360, PS3 and Windows, due to hit towards the end of the year. Under development at Day 1 Studios (MechAssault, Fracture, the console ports of the original F.E.A.R.) with supervision by series creators Monolith and, curiously, John Carpenter.
Featuring co-op play starring Fettel and *sigh* the … Read More…

Sony poach (PAL) Ghostbusters – Bad Times
Mere weeks from release, Sony has decided that the imminent Blu-Ray release of the original Ghostbusters films didn’t have enough of a marketing push, therefore they have thrown a hefty chunk of cash towards the as ever terminally-strapped-for-cash Atari.
The result = Platform exclusivity for the PS3 & PS2 (with the PSP coming along later) for the foreseeable future.
What this means for the Xbox 360, PC, Wii or DS releases at the moment is unknown, although rumours state that Atari will be publishing them later (presumably using the bung from Sony as finance, assuming they haven’t died off … Read More…
Underworld Underperforms – **UPDATED**
You know there’s something not quite right with an industry when a product can sell (not just ship, mind you) 1.5 million individual copies across 6 major platforms and it’s performance is deemed ‘unsatisfactory’…
Unfortunately, such a fate has befallen the latest Tomb Raider game, Underworld.
Despite receiving above average reviews (in spite of some bugs, camera & control issues, poor combat, inconsistent story-telling & a short length) the game simply hasn’t sold as well as EIDOS believes it should have.… Read More…
Terminator Salivation – Salvation game trailer released
Those Spike VGAs just keep on giving!
Terminator Salvation is (essentially) the fourth Terminator film, but it holds the awkward distinction of being a pseudo-reboot too… boot! The focus seems to have shifted squarely from the steely-eyed evil-robot-goes-good to the squishy humans of the piece and their survival of the enevitable Judgement Day & the ensuing war that Sarah Conner so didn’t want to happen.
The game, developed by GRIN (Ballistics, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter & Bionic Commando) & the license holder Halcyon‘s game division (cleverly titled Halcyon Games), seems to be a perculiar mix of Gears of War … Read More…
Kikizo interviews Terminal Reality on Ghostbusters
As the title suggests, Kikizo have interviewed Terminal Reality (unsurprisingly) about their Ghostbusters game that was recently saved from the chasm of oblivion by (of all people) Atari.
They touch upon (amongst other things) the multi-player mode, the boss fights, the original premise of the game being an official ‘Ghostbusters 3′ and anticipation about being picked up by someone when Activision bought into the MMO cash cow that was WoW merged with Vivendi, coupled with damning indication that their reason for being dropped was because Activision couldn’t make a yearly franchise out of the license…
Kikizo: There’s a story going
CNS 2008 Round-up mega-fun list-o-tron-o-matic
Everyone loves lists (how else can we explain the continued existence of Digg?).
Join me, fellow list-o-fans, as Computers N Stuff rounds up all the gaming-related pointless lists, countdowns and round-ups that tend to pollute the net around this time of year like a chemical factory foreman with a severely broken moral compass (well, it sounded good in my mind).… Read More…
ZOMG! Atari News
In what i’m hoping will become a fairly irregular occurance (because supporting them is just not cricket), we’ve got some Atari news and it’s good news too!.
Firstly, MCV are reporting that Ghostbusters, the recently-saved highly-anticipated stream crossing simulator which was dropped in the messy amalgamation of Activision & Vivendi, will hit retail around the middle of next year for all the formats under the sun (apart from Sony’s red-headed stepchild, the PSP).
Secondly, Eurogamer are reporting that Atari are planning to excavate a bunch of their old D&D properties (among others), but won’t be doing this until late … Read More…
