System 3 has picked up the Ferrari license and is readying an ultra realistic racer, Ferrari Challenge, to hit Wii, PS3, DS and PSP.
Although details are currently sketchy, Ferrari Challenge will feature an inevitably epic 16-player online mode on the PS3, while both portable versions will support 4-player wireless racing, and game-sharing (multiple players, one copy of the game).
The Wii game will, of course, boast motion control but, strangely, no multiplayer details have been announced for
First-party players Nintendo and Sony are to attend the E for All expo in October this year, which many are calling the public replacement for the now neutered E3.
The expo was announced by Gamepro publisher IDG last year, and unlike that other Los Angeles game expo is fully open to the general public.
This is all according to Gamasutra, who has published initial details of the event which takes place on October 18-20 in E3's former home the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Yesterday, we left you at the point where we'd met the undead in our Egypt walkthrough. Now we'll take you further into this awesome new Tomb Raider: Anniversary level as we wrap up our week-long preview.
As the undead foes hit the ground and fade away, again the sense of isolation hits you. Everything is still again, except for the swirling sand and glistening reflections from the water around the obelisk in the middle of the courtyard. You can see an artifact high above you, but the puzzle
With the launch of Nintendos seemingly more ‘girl friendly DS and Wii, and gaming award ceremonys adding categories like Girls Choice Award, women picking up a joystick is apparently becoming more mainstream. But what is this obsession with women being a different gaming species?
Despite the acceptance that more women are playing games theres still a great divide – one where male gamers fit into many categories and women get just one: girl gamer. The girl gamer is often seen as a
Everybody's favorite anti-violent game activist, Jack Thompson, is once again attacking game publisher Take-Two over the release of Manhunt 2 and GTA IV.
Making it clear that he will never give up, Thompson has filed a lawsuit to "prevent the sale of two hyperviolent video games set to be released this year and sold to anyone under 17 years of age."

Activision unveiled the upcoming Transformer movie tie-in earlier this week in London to what we believe was a very average reception. We're huge fans of the brand and think the movie is shaping up to deliver the goods. We have a few reservations about the game though.

So you've heard all about the game from the developer's point of view, but what's it actually like? We were given an exclusive walkthrough of the new Egypt level at Eidos' London office and came away with an excited feeling. Why excited? Well, everything we liked about Tomb Raider Legend is still there. The tight controls, the lush graphics and the brilliant physics are all in place. But now it's been given more of the things that made Tomb Raider so unique in the first place. And we didn't see
Fresh out of the sewer, mutated for your viewing enjoyment, comes a brand stinkin' new video that showcases your favorite subterranean superheroes in action.
