[Here’s another interview with an IGF Mobile finalist - and when people complain about cellphone games being a bucket of suck, they do a great dis-service to folks like Capybara, who are making some great titles - and, yes, are coming to DS, XBLA, PSP and Wii-type devices soon, they are threatening.]

Codemasters’ CEO thinks the PS3 can set a new trend
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | 
Leave a Comment
Sony has said all along that the words "future proof" were etched into the PlayStation 3’s master plan from the onset, and judging by the complexity of the hardware, that case can certainly be argued. If you think that it will be enough to extend the competitive life of the console to around 10 years […]

Are screen actors being paid too much to voice videogame characters?
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Why game developers would pay more than they need to for celebrity voice actors is beyond me, but Hollywood actors are getting into the game business and coming away with five figure paychecks — for talking!
A Reuters article says that voice actors are paid about $760 according to Screen Actors Guild rules. That’s not bad […]

Weekend Destructainment: FALCON PU-PU-PU-PUNCH!
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
I’m a huge fan of the Kirby theme. I’m also a huge fan of remixes set to the Kirby theme. So it’s no surprise that I just adore this remix of the Kirby theme set to Kirby when he absorbs Captain Falcon’s powers in Super Smash Bros. for the N64. You know it’s cute. […]

Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
My stomach has flopped over with insane jealousy; I’m actually sick with envy. We’ve known about the PSP remake of the PlayStation classic RPG for some time now, but being able to poke around Square Enix’s newly launched Web site for Star Ocean: Second Evolution has gotten to me — I need this game now.

Yes, Game Developers Conference is rapidly approaching, and there’s a cavalcade of interesting press events and parties on the horizon, some of them rather entrancing (*cough* ValvepartywithJonathanCoultonplaying *cough*).
But here’s one of the oddest and potentially coolest announcements I’ve seen thus far - excerpting from a news story I just wrote on Gamasutra about it:
