Another Dose of Infinium Comedy
Posted by inpheaux on November 21st, 2005 at 12:24 pmHooray! It's time for some more news from Infinium, everyone's favorite vaporware developer, which has been gleefully milking venture capitalists for what seems like aeons now. So, what are they up to this time? Well, it's been a few months since the last shake-up of their "corporate leadership", so clearly, it's time for that to [...]
Nintendo of Japan makes Mother 3 Official
Posted by inpheaux on November 7th, 2005 at 10:32 amI've got a quick little Monday-morning update on the status of Mother 3. Nintendo of Japan confirmed its existence today by putting up an incredibly sparse Japanese Official Site. The nice fluent-in-moonspeak people over at Starmen.net clarified that the bit at the bottom mentions that the game will be released in Japan in Spring 2006. [...]

3 New Reviews: War, Giants and Strogg
Posted by inpheaux on November 4th, 2005 at 6:36 amWe've got three new reviews for you today. I don't have anything amazing to say about them, apart from the fact that this is the widest variety of reviews we've posted so far. Three platforms, and games which range from "horrible" to "mediocre" to "unquestionable game of the year candidate". Guessing which is which will [...]
Mother 3 “Nearing Release”
Posted by inpheaux on November 4th, 2005 at 4:13 amTwo months back we reported on what was then being theorized to be a formal announcement regarding Mother 3 - or Earthbound 2. It didn't happen. Now it has.
In a message posted to his website yesterday, Mother/Earthbound series creator Shigesato Itoi had this to say on the subject (as loosely translated by Tomato of Starmen.net [...]
Coming Soon: another giant Star Wars Galaxies trainwreck
Posted by inpheaux on November 3rd, 2005 at 4:16 amOh Sony, what won't you do to alienate your audience?
SOE is currently in the process of testing another massive overhaul to how Star Wars Galaxies works. There aren't exactly charts keeping track of all the different bits of drama that spawn from MMORPGs, so I don't have a definitive comparative list here, but I'm pretty [...]
New Star Wars: Empire at War trailer released
Posted by inpheaux on November 1st, 2005 at 1:32 pmEarlier today, LEC released a brand new trailer for Empire at War, you can check it out here (Quicktime required). If it is anywhere near representative of the final product, it looks like the teams at LucasArts and Petroglyph may have finally put together an RTS worthy of the Star Wars franchise.
Sure, it's been tried [...]
Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion pushed to 2006
Posted by inpheaux on November 1st, 2005 at 10:15 amThere isn't a whole lot to say here. Both the PC and Xbox360 versions of Oblivion have been pushed to Fiscal Q2 2006 (Spring-ish). This is - of course - disappointing, but I can't say I'm not surprised. When videos were out at E3, I thought "wow, that looks pretty far along, but it doesn't [...]
