"My advice to God: Don't argue with Steve Jobs." Monkey Island maker Ron Gilbert remembers meeting Steve Jobs at Pixar and arguing over whether games can tell stories.
Its design might harken straight back to Id's days of yore, but you knew that Rage would pile in the Doom Easter eggs. Sure enough, as well as the Doom marine bobbleheads, there's this, too.
Our dreams are (almost) answered. Following its appearance in our 50 Forgotten Games list, it turns out that a followup to Glover was in production for N64 before being shelved. Here's the story to how a build of Glover 2 was found, and you can download it here.
The new SCEA PlayStation ad is probably the best it's made for ages, though we're a little confused about the D-Day soldiers. Could it really reference PS2's Medal Of Honor: Frontline, which was, uh, multiformat?

9It's easy to use 3 years of accidentally popularising mobile games as an excuse to overlook 30 years of completely ignoring and dismissing them.
That long live play advert is fantastic, although i don't know that it will atually appeal to anybody who doesn't already have a PS3?
There are lots of multiformat characters in there by the way. I'm pretty sure I spotted Chell, Lightning, and the dude from Assassin's Creed.
EDIT: and a little sister!
Yeah, good point. But still - D-Day soldiers are confusingly generic given how iconic (most) of the rest of the characters are.
I'm trying to remember the last game that had D-Day soliders in it...Call of Duty 2? (which didn't come out on PS3). The first Brothers in Arms? (which didn't come out on PS3)
R.U.S.E?
Actually, you see them parachute in at the start, Possibly making it the 101st airborne in Market Garden, but then why would an airborne trooper talk of being pinned down on Omaha.
Not sure why the Chimera is cheering Michael.
Multiplayer skin?
