Looks like they are going for a more “cyberpunk” look and feel this time around. I’m not sure I like it as much, espescially since the spy seems to use his little arm computer in places where he would have shot things before.

Still, I never was a big Splinter Cell guy, so I’m not sure my opinion matters here. It definitely looks like it plays in a similar way. Gotta love the new explosive flying drone.

John Romero may not be building a lot of confidence these days (Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows, Daikatana), but back in the day he was teamed with Carmack as the other guy behind Doom and Quake. This interview brings back some classic memories.

I remember when Quake was going to be an epic fantasy game with melee weapons and a huge world and such. I’m happy with what came out, but I always wondered what happened to that original planned version. It also talks about some of the issues behind the Trent Reznor music for the game. It’s really classic stuff for any Quake fans from back in the day.

Those wacky guys who created the stylish and weird Killer 7 are at it again. I can’t say much about this game beyond that it looks cool, and involves some bloody huge revolvers. A Wii title to keep an eye on.

Thanks, Hybridial.

Halo monthly comic?

July 24, 2006

It looks like the Halo comic book experience will be monthly. This should be good news for all you folks who worried you weren’t getting enough Halo.

Please note that this is not footage from a real game. If you noticed me talking about a Star Wars demo a few weeks ago, I would presume this is more of the same.

Just check out those overdone Force powers. Awesome. But don’t get so distracted that you miss the reactions of the Stormtroopers: glinging to a metal ledge for dear life, firing aimlessly as they spin in midair, and generally being badly used.
