Microsoft's Gamescom press conference happened this morning. We were expecting Lionhead's Peter Molyneux to reveal what his studio is working on and maybe some other Microsoft/Xbox related stuff to be mentioned. We got plenty of the former, but not so much of the latter. Actually we get none of the latter. Turns out this was prety much just a Fable conference. Here's an abridged version of events: ... » Read More

E3 09: One-shots

360 Feature | Alan Wake

At E3 this year, we experimented with a new type of video, what we’ve dubbed the “one-shot.” The idea is simple: to capture as much of the thrill and bustle of the show floor as possible in a single 60 second take, closing with a velvet-rope cameo by a famed developer. Let us know what you think – if you like ‘em, we’ll do moar next year! ... » Read More

E3 09: GamesRadar's E3 2009 awards

360 Feature | Alan Wake

E3 2009 was a monster. A huge, massive, face-eating beerdemon that erased the agonizing memory of 2008’s meager, emaciated E3 from our minds with a flood of great-looking games, earth-shattering announcements, and a few quizzical oddities we never want to speak of again. After this, we mean, because some things are so good, bad, or just bewildering that you just have to tell people about them. ... » Read More

No Heavy Rain until 2010?

360 Feature | Alan Wake

We’re only a few weeks into 2009, and already we’ve seen what is likely the first of many games shoved from their comfortable 2009 release dates into the uncertain depths of 2010. Scarcely six months after confirming Final Fantasy XIII as a multi-platform release, Square Enix announced that its flagship role-playing epic wouldn’t appear until at least next year. ... » Read More

What ever happened to Alan Wake?

360 Feature | Alan Wake

Dec 12, 2007 The games industry is a strange, strange place. Its almost 30 years old now, but it seems developers still cant agree on the best way to PR their babies. In our experience, they go one of two ways: trundle down the elaborately stage-managed Assassins Creed path, a game wrapped so tightly in Ubisoft cotton wool that it was little wonder dire rumours surfaced that the game might be one huge stinker (thankfully, as our review attests, we neednt have worried). Or they take a plunge ... » Read More
