Yves Guillemot, CEO of Paris, France-based Ubisoft, delivered a fascinating presentation during BMO Capital Markets' Annual Interactive Entertainment Conference in New York City on Tuesday.
Guillemot seemed particularly enthusiastic about Nintendo's success in both the handheld and home console markets.
"[Nintendo's mass market strategy] is very profitable for Nintendo, and very profitable for all third-party publishers," he said. "...Because [the strategy] is working, we create

1) Samus Wii
Probably the most elaborate Wii mod weve ever seen - and thanks to the razor-sharp prongs of the metal ‘S logo, the only one you could actually use as a weapon. But the potential ninja application isnt the only reason it went for more than $2,000 on eBay. Theres a built-in recharger stand for the Wii Remote, lots of cool LEDs so you can find it in the dark, and the A button actually pulsates with orange light LIKE ITS ALIVE! The genius who made it has also

The could-actually-be-decent film adaptation of Return to Castle Wolfenstein is on hold until the end of a writer's strike in Hollywood, says writer/director Roger Avary.
Speaking to SCI FI Wire, Avary, who also co-wrote Beowulf (the film where Angelina Jolie gets her CGI baps out), said that he "is almost done with the script and am proud of it, but everything as far as the production date and that kind of thing won't be decided on until after all this [is] over. And I fully

Inspired by the latest comic offering from the always entertaining Penny Arcade folks (which imagines Assassin's Creed mangled with Animal Crossing to make Assassin's Crossing), we've concocted some of our own harebrained gaming hybrids.
Using two components - one part Nintendo game, one part A.N. Other - to make a single title that's never going to be made in a million years, here are half-a-dozen fantasy gaming cocktails for your mild amusement.
Note: Unfortunately we possess

In an episode of Futurama, a nebulous version of the ever-popular God said, "When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all." So our buddies over at Next Generation have taken time out of their busy day to show appreciation for all the little things that have aided gaming in kicking our collective dicks in the dirt throughout the years. How? By collecting the 50 Greatest Game Design Innovations of all time.

Eat your heart out, Spider-Man.
The Iron Man game was first unveiled at this year's E3, and we were far from impressed about what we were looking at during the live action demo. That early on, it looked like any other superhero game and we all know how badly they do.
But look at that 360 screen down below. Does that look so bad? Click on the Images tab if you need more

Our industry may thrive on franchises, but for every mega-popular sequel there's bound to be 10 utter failures. Most of these botched follow-ups flounder and die because they're poor games, but would you believe there are (gasp) totally decent sequels that came and went without so much as a pat on the back?
Countless sequels have been forgotten, but these are the games that, for one reason or the other, failed to stay in our hearts and minds. Some attained a small level of

Uncharted: Drakes Fortune
News | Previews | Screens
This gameplay footage is basically Tomb Raider with some dood in the place of Lara Croft. Here it is so you can watch it if you must, but we'll wager that you'll be more interested in this footage of Lady Croft under the influence of a nude patch.
You're welcome.

Although very few solid facts are known about the game, Star Wars: The Forced Unleashed promises so much, and new info has started to trickle from the Jedi camp at LucasArts.
Some of the locations featured in the game have been revealed. At one point you visit a TIE Fighter Construction Facility "sent [there] by Lord Vader to eliminate Master Kota, a fugitive Jedi General who has taken over the station with a band of his loyal
