Tim Schafer Pitches His Next Big Game… To A Muppet

One of the perks (THE perk in my mind) that comes along with working on a Cookie Monster game is that you get access to the puppets. And you can apparently sweet-talk them into making silly videos with you.

One Year Later, Did Nintendo Keep Its E3 2010 Promises?

E3 is the biggest event the video game business. Every company lays their cards on the table, and every AAA game for the next year is on display. Failure is not an option.

F.E.A.R. 3 Does Live Action Exploding Barrels

A blend of live action and in-game graphics might seem ill-advised, as the transition to 20 seconds or so of gameplay in this new F.E.A.R. 3 trailer is a little jarring. But one has to consider live action exploding barrels.

Project Origin Is Scary

newVideoPlayer("abomination403_gawker.flv", 463, 280,""); WB Games just completely lost a customer for F.E.A.R. 2 Project Origin. There is no way in hell I am every going to put myself in a situation, real or virtual, where I have to go up against something that looks and moves like the abomination seen in the clip. For some reason the little bastard scares the living piss out of me. Sure – call me a wuss – but I’ll be a wuss with a comfortably urine-free couch once the game is released this fall.
