He’s also well known for promising that he’s learned his lesson about over-promising. He promises that after every game he makes. “I definitely have learnt my lesson about over-promising.” he promises. “There is a ton of work to do for sure, and the team are working hard....

He sent out this email that was all “this has been the happiest two years of my life” and everyone vomited because it was so stupid and I was like “stop being a little girl” and he was like “I’m tremendously thankful to be here” and then everyone was like “you’re so fat Samit.” That’s what happened.

I’ll come right out now and be perfectly honest with you — I don’t watchUFC. I have no idea who any of the fighters are, regardless of how ultimate they may be, and I have no idea why any of these people want to get into a big metal cage and start punching each other in the face. I was not the right man to send for this preview, but I was theonlyman....

Scott Steinberg, Vice President of Product Marketing for Sony Computer Entertainment America,has statedthat the PlayStation 3 is starting to show its graphical superiority over rival consoles, and that soon the graphics on other platforms will look quite dated. I’d never have expected Sony’s marketing department to say such a thing. “I think that we’re seeing, graphically, PS3 games starting to create some distance and some of the other competitors are going to feel that they’re getting long in the tooth, looking quite dated, because they haven’t created that ten-year vision from a horsepower standpoint,” Steinberg toldGI....

While many claim that M-rated games just don’t do very well on the Wii, one publisher constantly disproves the myth. Capcom has had plenty of success in bringingResident Evilto the world of waggle, and series producer Masachika Kawata has somewords of wisdomfor anybody looking to emulate such success. “First of all I don’t think thatResident Evilwas the only exception selling on Wii,” he supposes. “There are other hardcore titles, such asCall of Duty, which were quite successful on Wii as well....
