    Universal Puts The Brakes On BioShock Movie

    Switching locations and using tax breaks are techniques that hollywood often uses to lower a film budget WITHOUT affecting its quality. So, let's keep our hopes up on this one. 160 mil is a damn lot of money. Even for a blockbuster.

    Booth #5128; OnLive. Far more interesting new hardware. Go ahead and tell us, Variety already broke the embargo on it anyway...

    House of the Dead: Overkill Sells 45K

    What about Dead Rising Chop Till you Crop? Released Feb 24? I saw it started off cold in Japan... Wondering about the US... Disaster: Day of Crisis also did poorly in Europe and Japan despite great review scores... There was no marketing dollar behind the title, and it's not even listed for a US release. It's not that there is no hardcore title on Wii... It's more that Nintendo makes a terrific job at not promoting them, so afraid they are to lose their "family appeal"... MadWorld? also not promoted by Nintendo at all; SEGA is on its own. Fatal Frame IV... The list goes on. If you want hardcore games to find its audience on your platform, you gotta f**in' support them!

    Games Again Defy Economy

    Go Arcade Stick! The new ones from Mad Catz rock. I never thought I'd say that of a Mad Catz product. But the SFIV sticks have actually been designed by a reputed Street Fighter champion. It's perfect for fighting games.

  • The Folly of Pigeon-Holing Gamers

    Edge blogger Pascal Clarysse joins the debate that is attempting, and he believes is failing, to classify gamers according to their tastes.

    In economics, the difference between a core user and a casual user of a product is quite clear. The key variable is simply how much time one spends with the item.
