Last night, we had a chance to check out Sega’s 2009 game line-up at their New York preview, and we have to say, things are looking good – enough blood, chainsaws, zombies, ass-kicking witches and all out warfare to keep any dude satisfied for hours. Here’s a quick rundown of our favorite titles due out of camp Sega over the coming year. (more…)

E3 rages onward, and like any gaming expo, one of the main orders of the day is the sequel. Some people hate sequels, and rightfully so. A sequel done poorly is just a rehashing of the original game with new stuff added that either ruins what was fun about the original or just feels boring. Take Unreal Tournament for example. The 99′ edition was bitchin’. Every release after that, less so. They announced UT3 today and no one gives a shit because nothing feels fresh and all the old classic stuff that people loved has been squeezed out. (more…)

I don’t like to talk about how the XBOX360 is better then the PS3. I own a 360, but I’ve played the PS3 and I like it just fine. It’s a solid platform and the game I played on it (Ratchet and Clank) was quite fun. However, if you can’t read the writing on the wall that the PS3 is hurting, you’re either completely blind or hopelessly obsessed.

Yesterday at E3, Square Enix showed a trailer for the next game in their hyper-popular series, Final Fantasy. A series that was first a Nintendo property, and then at the turn of the console wars (when the N64 proved to be the weaker system) swore allegiance to the Playstation platform. Until now. The next game, Final Fantasy XIII (which looks, for all intents in purposes, gorgeous but pretty standard) will be available for both the 360 and the PS3.

Check out the Final Fantasy XIII after the jump! (more…)

From Wolfenstein 3-D to DOOM to today’s release of Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, id Software has been jacking-up the ante on first-person shooters like no other team in gaming. We were fortunate enough to get i.d. co-owner and lead game designer, Kevin Cloud on the phone to discuss the new release. Enjoy!

COED: Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars is out today for Xbox 360 and PS3. What can we expect from the console versions?

Kevin Cloud: We’ve been working on the 360 and PS3 for almost two years now. Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, when we released it on the PC, we got a lot of editorial acclaim for it, if you’ll remember, a lot of awards and nominations, so there’s some really good gameplay in there.

It’s a really big game, a lot going on, so we wanted to make sure we got all of that in there. We got it running great, looking great, so we’ve achieved that. We had the design teams focusing on a each console to really make sure the game controls fit what players on that platform are accustom to, whether it’s shooting, driving, whatever. (more…)
