With one of the summer's most anticipated blockbusters - the return of Indiana Jones- due in theaters in less than three weeks, you'd expect producer Steven Spielberg to be all about movies right now.
A bit of a slow down compared to last week's bonanza... Highlights this week include Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Game of the Year Edition (PS3) and Boom Blox (Nintendo Wii).
Boom Blox, the upcoming casual game from EA and movie director Steven Spielberg, has the best physics of any game across any console, according to its senior producer.
At the Nintendo Media Summit, Boom Blox senior producer Amir Rahimi confirmed that the final version of the game will lack the head-tracking mode.
Steven Spielberg, aside from being one of the most successful movie directors on the planet, is definitely a serious games fan, and his involvement with EA's forthcoming Wii title Boom Blox has been far greater than a line for PR.
Slowly building itself up to be what looks to be one of the Nintendo Wii's biggest surprise packages of the year so far, Electronic Arts has confirmed that its upcoming physics-based puzzler, Boom Blox, will arrive in North America and Europe on May 06 and May 09 respectively.
Head tracking, a technique that effectively transforms the apparent '2D' image you see on your television screen into an out-of-the-screen virtual reality experience, will feature in Electronic Arts' upcoming Nintendo Wii title, Boom Blox.
