This is amazing news to say the least. This post could simply be “Hell, yes!” and it would be enough. More
We’ve been waiting a while for a good movie to video game tie-in. In fact, if film fans think they’ve had it bad with movies based on games, it’s even worse the other way around. Iron Man? Dreadful. Transformers? Horrendous. And before even you scream out Goldeneye, sure the classic N64 game borrowed Bond’s title, but the game certainly didn’t borrow the story or gameplay, or first-person shooters would be called Bond-em-ups. Which doesn’t sound right in the first place.
With Toy Story 3, we might just be onto a winner. Or at least hopefully it won’t be terrible. Behind the scenes videos after the jump. More
The release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has been cited by some as the entry of video games into the mainstream, but reading newspaper articles on the CODMW2 release I was struck by the unknowledgable and derisory tone used.

Financial wariness means people are staying in more than they used to, and gaming is booming as a result. More
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment will be celebrating Halloween with a very special giveaway for Scribblenauts owners daring to meet at London Dungeon and seek out its scariest representative. More
Roger Avary, the man who penned the script for Christophe Gans’ 2006 horror Silent Hill, has confirmed he will return to write a second installment. More
SEGA has released this teaser video for a 2-D game involving “speed”, a blue blur, spin sound effects and the goal of collecting golden rings. It’s just too cryptic for us to decipher.
If this is the new Sonic The Hedgehog game, supposedly for PS3, Wii and Xbox 360, then it will be exciting if they can hold back from gimics like were-hedgehogs, knights with swords and gun play missions and keep Sonic to what he has always done best; run, collect rings and jump on stuff (it’s better in practice than on paper). Hope springs eternal.
Not the catchiest title in the world is it; The Destruction of The World by A Violent Robot-Zombie Plague, but, and let’s just call it Robot-Zombie Plague for the sake of saving time, is looking like a very interesting project indeed. More
