Sonic and Sega All Star Racing Review
I’ll admit that when I first got this game I was skeptical. It looked liked a Mario Kart knockoff with SEGA characters, and a way for them to make a quick buck. Surprisingly, I was very wrong about this game and the amount of fun I had with it.
Xaviant Licenses CryENGINE For Multi-Platform Game
Announcement via News letter from Crytek. Being a big time computer games player, can’t wait to see what’ll be possible on the consoles using this new high end engine.
I’ve seen many videos show casing the CryEngine on the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360 but nothing on a console running in real time, not just watching a compressed video online. The truth will only be realized (to me) when I get to play a game on a console while running the engine.
With very high hopes for Crytek and this new engine, I personally feel like the Unreal Engine 3 is starting to look dated and to be quite honest, not all of the games that use the UE3 look that great. Here’s a quote from Xaviant LLC:
“Our strategy at Xaviant is to build games that can only come from the minds of gamers, which means we have to focus on our core discipline: game design. When we partnered with Crytek, we had high expectations for their product. However we had not anticipated the extent to which they exceeded those expectations. The rapid iteration and the number of tools we get ‘out of the box’ are remarkable. In just six short weeks we were able to create a ‘proof of concept’ demo with an incredibly high level of detail. And with the immense help of Crytek’s expert support, we even met the truly tough GDC deadline. In my opinion, anyone serious about making a game should check out CryEngine.” states Michael McMain, CEO of Xaviant LLC.
Hit up the break for the press release.

Clash Of The Titans Game Release This Summer
What do we have here? A game of a movie that’s over a decade old? Nope! The original Clash of the Titans movie reminds me of the time when movies that showcased huge monsters and special effects were created with claymation styled effects. I loved it, but now it’s 2010 and everything is created via computer graphics. I have a huge screenshot gallery after the break. I’m was praying for an adventure that’s true to the classic movie, but after reading the press release, I found out that this new game from NAMCO BANDAI is making the game based on the upcoming remake of the same name. Let’s hope that the name doesn’t get tainted by the Videogame and/or Movie industry. Let’s go…..

New Trailer: Prince Of Persia Goes Back To Its Roots
I remember playing Prince of Persia wayyyyyyy back on my Windows 95 PC, and after playing the last two PoP on the PS2 and Xbox (original) I lost all interest and didn’t even give the name much attention when ever I heard talk about it from my friends. Then we come full circle, with more of a take on from it’s original’s roots. Quickly when I say roots I don’t really mean graphics (2D), but more of the game play on the exploration and climbing and hanging on the ledges. I know the other 3D games did all this but the style and visuals didn’t feel like the classic landscape. Check out the latest trailer after the break.

OMFG Day 1 IMPORT for me. This game looks so sick. About time Koei stepped up their game a bit.
