Rockstar’s latest gets a little late night air time, courtesy of Fox. Red Dead Redemption begets a 30-minute short, directed by John Hillcoat (The Road), using nothing but in-game assets. See how that works on May 29 at midnight. [Rockstar]
Our very own Stephen Totilo will be spending an hour today in Fox News’ Strategy room talking about the gadgets, games and gizmos of E3.
Noooo! Anyone who has seen Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles will tell you two things – 1) lady terminators are pretty and 2) if the bloody things can get on the internet they can hack anything and cause all kinds of hassle.
Fox has only gone and introduced the glow-eyed menaces to the iPhone. Great. Now death will be both swift AND stylish.
Terminator: Ambush is a mini MMO that can be played via the iPhone or a web browser. the idea is that players using the web interface hunt down and terminate those using the iPhone version. There is a GPS component to the game, so don’t play if you actually are being hunted by a killer robot – this will lead them right to you.

Last seen on Fox News as a “School Shooting Expert”, Jack Thompson is now, according to a Fox News broadcast last Thursday, a “First Amendment Attorney.” This is not an April Fool’s Joke. Neither is Fox News. Yet both strangely seem like one. Everyday of the year. This Is Not Joke [Game Politics]
Has everyone seen Juno? It’s what I consider the Bestest Picture of the Year, therefore meaning, yes, it’s mandatory viewing lest Witz need to take you outside. But what about that very weird-sounding game based upon the movie that was floating around the internet last week? It sounded weird for a reason. It doesn’t exist.
An analogy comparing small budget games to small budget films was taken out of context—the true story is really quite lame. Luckily, it means that the video game industry hasn’t figured out how to spoil the few good movies that come out of Hollywood…yet.

That’s certainly what N’Gai Croal is suggesting over at Level Up. Having had the chance to sit down with BioWare’s Ray Muzyka at DICE last night, he asked why it had been journalists and publishers who had come to Mass Effect’s defence after it was attacked on Fox, and not the game’s creators themselves. Muzyka’s response? That they were happy to let the “community” be the first to come to their defence. And aside from a short statement issued to the New York Times, that’s exactly what they did. Let others come to their own game’s defence. Which doesn’t sit well with Croal: In order to sit at the grown-ups table, culturally speaking, developers are going to have to act like adults. And that means not letting other people do their fighting for them.
Little harsh, perhaps, but also largely on the money. Like Having A Gun Pointed At Your Baby: Discussing the Fox News/Mass Effect Controversy With BioWare General Manager Ray Muzyka [Level Up]
