Next Mass Effect To Use The Frostbite Engine
BioWare changing to the Frostbite engine? Yeah, that’s cool…
We’ve known for some time now that a fourth (and likely fifth and beyond) Mass Effect game is in the works. We’ve also known for quite some time that the new game is going to be developed at BioWare’s Edmonton studio. What we’re just finding out though is that this title is going to be developed with a completely different engine. No more Unreal Engine 3, kiddies!
Silicon Knights Ordered To Destroy Games, Finally
Too Bad
As if by some miracle, Silicon Knights will be removing their current games from the shelves. What? Let’s be honest, you’ve probably never played a game developed by them. All of their projects to date have been nothing but giant whiskey-dicked flops. The crew behind Silicon Knights aren’t destroying their games because they want to, although I’m sure it’s been on their to-do list for awhile.
Falling In Love With Peter Molyneux’s ‘Curiosity’
It’s a big ol’ cube!
Before Microsoft acquired his Lionhead Studios, world-famous game designer Peter Molyneux was known for shepherding quirky games. Before they became “The Fable Company”, they brought us the Black & White games and Hollywood simulator The Movies, a personal favorite. Before that though, Molyneux had launched and built Bullfrog, home of some of the best strategy games of the golden era of PC gaming. Well, now he’s out on his own with company 22 Cans, a strange incubator of quirky new games. I only know this because I’ve played Curiosity, a game that isn’t easy to recommend.

NPD: ‘XCOM: Enemy Unknown’ Sales Disappoint
Keep blastin’, guys.
If you’re a hardcore game forumer, you realize the important part of any month is that second Thursday when NPD retail sales are released. Long the lifeblood of fanboy wars, the statistics – which are part of an expensive report sold to analysts, journalists, and platform holders – have been increasingly shrouded over the past few years. While the Xbox 360 continues to outsell the rest, video game sales continue to decline, and no one’s buying a PlayStation Vita, the biggest surprise came in XCOM: Enemy Unknown sales. In short: there weren’t many.
The Art Of Video Games – Heading to EMP In February 2013
Art inside of art. How artsy!
A while back, we wrote about the art of video games and revealed that it would be leaving The Smithsonian and traveling the country – moving from museum to museum over the next several years. Now, we’ve been told that it will be at EMP, starting in Feb of 2013.

Star Wars: The Old Republic Finally Goes Free Next Thursday, End Of Long, Sad Journey
Pew, pew, pew…
Bioware has finally announced its plans for what will become of Star Wars: The Old Republic. Earlier this year, we reported on that it was going free to play after far less than a year following extremely disappointing sales. The game had a rocky start, had a rockier middle, and the conclusion seemed inevitable. So will players finally start joining in and make SWTOR another post-free-to-play success or will they continue to ignore the war between the Republic and the Sith? Read the rest of this article…
