E3 Day 3: Impressions

Posted by Shawn Andrich –
Day three of E3 is upon us and the drive to catch a glimpse of the games that have eluded us thus far is in full swing. It's already 1PM here and Sway and I still haven't hit the West hall for another pass at Nintendo's display. We did get some pretty intensive looks at Microsoft's games so let's start with that!

Halo 2 - Hands On

Posted by Sean "Elysium" Sands –
Yeah, you read it right. If you're wondering how GWJ got behind the scenes for a closed door look at Bungie's big sequel, you can rest assured that we're just as mystified.  What can I say, sometimes you get lucky.  But lucky or not, Halo 2 was at E3, and we got to sit down and play some of its upcoming Live supported multiplayer.  Yeah, it was a high point.

Sway is at E3, Too

Elysium wonÂ't stop reminding me I Â"workÂ" for a gaming Â"websiteÂ" and I have a Â"responsibilityÂ" to my Â"readersÂ". I suppose thatÂ's his subtle way of telling me I need to post. So here I am in the media center (which IÂ've never actually seen Elysium leave) to tell you what IÂ've seen.

E3 Day 2 : Real Time Impressions

I'm posting this in the hopes that my fellow gamers who have separated from and abandoned me will add their occasional thoughts below.  I know it's crazy, but maybe Certis can even plug his camera into one of the plethora of provided media PCs and show you what it's been like here.  However, if he posts the pic of me watching World of Warcraft I want to assure you I'm not

The AGDzine Chats With Ron Gilbert

Posted by Julian "Spunior" Dasgupta –
I saw over at the Adventure Corner that the Adventure Game Developer Zine features a pretty nice interview with Ron Gilbert. Who was involved in a number of LucasFilm Games classics such as Monkey Island as well as in Cavedog's Total Annihilation.

Hell just became considerably less toasty

According to this post on the Bizarre Creations forums, downloadable content is finally on the way for their highly acclaimed Xbox Live racer, Project Gotham Racing 2. This is excellent news for those looking to get even more gaming enjoyment out of the already rich experience provided. Hi everyone, As you may have guessed, yes we are working on downloadable content at the moment.

Starshatter Demo

Posted by Julian "Spunior" Dasgupta –
It's demo time, and once again we're pointing out one of those that are not likely to receive as much buzz as the trial versions of let's say Painkiller or UT2004. The Starshatter demo (67MB) is pretty much a must download for gamers that are interested in space combat games.

Underground Adventures of 2003

Posted by Julian "Spunior" Dasgupta –
Quite alive for a dead genre: the AdventureGamers posted their Underground Awards, taking a closer look at and awarding the best amateur adventures released in the past 12 months in categories such as story, writing and graphics among others. While they may not look as polished as Broken Sword 3, they definitely provide enough entertainment for puzzle fans.

Preview: The Fall - The Last Days of Gaia

Posted by Julian "Spunior" Dasgupta –
It was a rainy Friday afternoon in Germany, the perfect time to take a look at some upcoming games. I decided to visit Silver Style Entertainment since they are located at a nice, calm spot in the northern part of my beloved home town of Berlin. Actually, I guess I got on their nerves long enough to get an invitation to check out a development snapshot.

Horizons Seven Day Free Trial

Posted by Shawn Andrich –
In what is fast becoming the standard way for MMORPG's to gain some new users, Artifact is now offering a 946 meg seven day free trial of Horizons through Fileplanet. The catch is that you must be registered at Fileplanet although I don't see anything that says it is for "subscribers" only. As you download the game you will receive a CD-Key by email that will let you sign in.
