PS3 - Lair - Factor 5 Animator Claims Studio is Cutting Projects Developer Factor 5 is facing tough choices due to our bad economy, according to a blog post from Sam Baker, an animator for the company. Baker explains that after a two-week foray to work with California-based animation studio The Orphanage, he came back to Factor 5 and found that none of his fellow employees had been paid in the past month. His team continued on their current project, but then had their health care benefits taken as a cost-saving measure.

PS3 - Lair - RipTide Licenses Lair Soundtrack Gamedaily.Biz reports that RipTide Music announced today that it will represent the soundtrack for the game Lair. The score was composed by John Debney, who was nominated for an Oscar for his work on The Passion of the Christ. Lair's soundtrack and other aesthetic elements of the game were well received by critics last year, even though the overall gameplay and control scheme were not.

"Riptide Music is uniquely positioned to deliver our music to television, movie trailers and advertising in a way that will separate it from the pack," said Chuck Doud, Director of Music for SCEA. "The videogame industry is producing some of the best, unique and most exciting music out there, and is a perfect companion to compliment other media."

PS3 - Lair - Lair Analog Controls Confirmed For March TheBitbag writes:

"I played Lair today and the controls wouldn't work. Why? They reconfigured it for analog use. Now you can choose which controls you like. It's too bad so many Lair owners balked at the innovation. It's still good to have a choice. The patch will be available sometime in March for download."

PS3 - Lair - Kotaku's 2007 Games of the Year and Overall Game of the Year Kotaku's Brian Crecente writes:

"Our first-ever Game of the Year awards was a pretty straight forward deal. I asked all of the writers to submit a list of three games for each category and the three that showed up most in each category made it as a finalist. Once we had the list of finalists I asked each writer to go through and order the finalists and then tallied the vote. The one with the most points was named Game of the Year, the runner-up was named Not Quite Game of the Year. The game with the most votes for Worst Game of the Year received that dubious honor."

Super Mario Galaxy won Kotaku's Overall Game of the Year award. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune came as second, it won the Not Quite Game of the Year award. (Kotaku posted the overall results as a separate post, see the link at the Alternative Sources below for more details.)

PS3 - Lair - Los Angeles Times: Best and Worst of the Year What makes a good video game? Strong visuals are important. Good controls are essential. A well-crafted concept helps too. These days, most games can boast at least two-thirds of that criteria.

So, then what makes a game great? Feeling. Emotion. Surprise. Interaction. Even addiction. It's a magical feeling when a game offers all these elements.

Here are the titles L.A. Times deemed the best experiences of 2007. Admittedly, they didn't play everything (because that would probably be impossible), but of the titles that did cross their paths, these are the ones that resonated most. Their favorites in order:

Best of the Year:
¿ BioShock
¿ Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
¿ Assassin's Creed
¿ Super Mario Galaxy
¿ The Orange Box

Honorable Mention:
¿ Halo 3
¿ Rock Band
¿ Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation
¿ Cooking Mama: Cook Off
¿ Lost Planet

Worst of the Year:
¿ Lair

Dishonorable Mention:
¿ Fusion Frenzy 2
¿ 300: March to Glory
¿ Tenchu Z

PS3 - Lair - NPD Fallout: Uncharted Fails to Chart Missing from the NPD November sales charts is Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, which only managed 117,000 sales. To be fair, Uncharted did have a better first-month than Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction (74,500 units), Warhawk (58,600 units) and Lair (46,500 units), but still fell behind Heavenly Sword's debut sales (139,000 units) in September.

PS3 - Lair - No age rating on Lair disc caused delay The sudden delay that saw Lair's UK release pushed back even further behind the US release was due to there being no age rating on the game discs, Sony has told CVG.

Sony told CVG last week, on the day before Lair was due to go on sale: "Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, the launch of Lair has been delayed very slightly."

But speaking to employees at UK retailer GAME, CVG has learnt that "the reason Lair has been delayed is because there is no age rating printed on the disk."

PS3 - Lair - European Lair version won't have analog controls either Playstation 3 exclusive title Lair has been stores in America since the end of August, but the European version of Lair has still not been released yet. The game has been delayed multiple times, with no exact reason why. Rumor has it the European version would get an updated control scheme, where players could choose between the SIXAXIS-controls or the newly added analog controls.

Dutch website Insidegamer however can confirm that the European version of Lair won't feature analog controls either. In fact, Insidegamer can conclude in the video review that Lair is probably exactly the same as the American version. Why the game was delayed in Europe is still a mystery. Lair is slated to hit stores on November 16 in Europe.
