Last night at the AIAS Interactive Achievement Awards in Las Vegas, David Jaffe may have gotten caught up in the moment and confirmed a newTwisted Metalas his next project. 1UPbelieves it heard an audience member shout out for a newTwisted Metaltitle, while the developer was presenting an award. Jaffe responded. “Soon, bitch!” he said, in typical Jaffe fashion. “Eight or nine months.” Jaffe and his studio Eat, Sleep, Play have been developing a PlayStation 3 title, which has long been rumored to be a new title in vehicular combat series....
Theannouncement ofDmCwas completely overshadowed by the revelation that Dante had been given a complete makeover, complete with darker hair, darker clothes, and a twink face. Many people called the look “emo” because they don’t know what that word means, whilesome of us quite liked it. Now Ninja Theory has responded. “The essence ofDevil May Cryis all about ‘cool,'” says creative director Tameem Antoniades. “It’s about Dante being cool and making you feel cool when you’re playing it, and so the combat and the style system and everything is integral to that....

NIS America has a new title coming out, and I’m guessing it’s one you’ll recognize:Phantom Brave. It was first on the PS2, and then came to the Wii. This is now a PSP game, a port of the Wii version. I really enjoyed this RPG on the Wii last year. This little strategy RPG wasn’t anything groundbreaking, but it was fun and kind of silly. It will now be calledPhantom Brave: The Hermuda Trianglefor this portable release, and it’s coming as both a UMD release and a PlayStation Network download in March of next year, complete with new story bits, characters, and even some cameos....
Oh man. Today is just full of sad news. First we found out that aThe Flashgame was in the works. Then we saw what would have been a newRoad Rashgame. To top it all off, there was also a next-genMutant Leaguegame in the works. Mutant League Resurrectionwas being developed by EA Chicago in 2005 but got canceled due to lack of funding. It looks likeResurrectionwas going to be a multi-sports title too, as evidence by the football field getting transformed into a hockey rink....
I’ve been calling himNobi Nobi Boythis whole time, but apparently in the West we’re to call himNoby Noby Boy. Whatever moniker he chooses to use, it doesn’t alter the fact that he’s a scary, vile, nasty freak sausage creature that should have been disinfected andburnedthe moment he was cut from his mother’s womb. I’ve beenvoicing disapprovalof this abomination’s existence for a while, but it seems that he’ll be coming to the PlayStation 3 regardless, and I’ll probably end up playing it....
1UP hasconfirmedthat Crytek, the makers behind the graphic-powerhouseCrysisfor the PC, will be bringing a version ofCrysisto the Xbox 360. The site doesn’t have much more info than that, but apparently the 360 version will be borrowing some story elements and gameplay features. Would you hold out for the 360Crysisinstead of plunking down thousands to play the PC version?
Last night, EA and Maxis had a little shindig in San Francisco where they revealed the newSporeexpansion for PC, a new standaloneSporePC titleandSporefor the Wii and DS. Like any presentation on sequels and such, Maxis first flaunted their (Spor)e-peen and showed off some really impressive numbers forSpore. Most amazing of all the numbers is that 65 million creations have been made forSporeto date. The game has been out for a little over five months and there are 65 million creations already!...
God, I’m sorry. I’m really,reallysorry. Not just that this week’s episode is a day later than it should be, but that the episode you waited an extra twenty-four hours for isso friggin’ bad. I mean, it’s moderately enjoyable at moments, don’t get me wrong, but…Jesus. Double Dragon, as a film, is such a weird, awful, poorly-structured catastrophe that it often defies mockery. The film includes a character, for instance, whose neck appears to be made of two giant, sweaty testicles....
It hasn’t been that long since we sawEnd of Nations, as we got an early look at thispast E3, to be specific. This time around, we got to get hands-on with Trion Worlds’s PvP mode for the very first time.

Taking place in a near, almost apocalyptic future, the world stands on the brink of societal collapse....
Summary time! Jason Rohrer’sSleep is Deathis a multiplayer storytelling game. A Controller creates and modifies a world that the Player interacts with. I documented the Player experience in anearlier preview. It was a great deal of fun, but why wouldn’t it be? I was playing a story authored and controlled by Jason Rohrer, the dude who created the game.Anygame is fun when you’re playing it with the person who created it....
