We spoke with Gordon Van Dyke, producer of Battlefield Bad Company 2, and he had some very interesting things to say about the game. We talked about animation, lighting, the Frostbite engine and why BFBC2 is the king of the hill.

Yesterday when the news broke out about the PS3 beta, I got a lot of tweets, emails and spam asking why there was no 360 beta. My quick answer was, “Xbox Live is rock solid”. Many took that as a jab at the PS3 version of the game. It wasn’t meant to be.

2010 may very well be the year that major changes will occur on Microsofts platform. Rockstar games said it themselves that Xbox360 needs to find away around storage issues and Hard Drive optimization is the answer and the results will be revealed very soon.

The Wii can now if not already be considered the the master of being a mostly all accessories add on console. Sorry if I sound a bit harsh, but for the longest time Nintendo has been able to get away with offering hardware add-on(s) to all of it’s consoles and nickel and dime it’s loyal fanbase.
