Brendan Saricks — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 13:22:53 +0000

A standard transaction goes something like this: cashier rings item into register and places it into a bag. Cashier turns to Fish and communicates the amount due. Fish does a quick calculation in his head, points the firehouse at the cashier, and pays.

Bungie’s Marathon Coming (Today?) To The iPad

Brendan Saricks — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 17:35:07 +0000

Is this the new game from Bungie?! No, actually, it’s an old game. A real old game, a game from the golden age of FPSs. You see friends, Bungie has made games other than Halo, as hard as that is to believe. In fact, they were one of the OG Mac game developers back in the day; and now they are returning to Apple. Marathon, the quintessential Mac FPS, is coming to the iPad today (we think anyway.) Ported by amateur Bungie enthusiast Daniel Blezek, the project has been a labor of love that started in January 2010, shortly after the iPad’s announcement.

As of this posting, the game is not yet available in the AppStore. You can read Bungie’s interview with Daniel while you wait for it to show up.

Smash Bros For 3DS and Wii U Not Coming For A While

Brendan Saricks — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 13:15:26 +0000

Remember how excited you were when Nintendo announced that Smash Bros was coming to both the 3DS and Wii U? Remember that we were all a little disappointed that there wasn’t a date or even “release window” announced alongside the reveal? Yeah, well there is a reason for that…it’s years away from release. In his Famitsu column (as translated by 1UP), Project Sora creative lead Masahiro Sakurai revealed that the announcement was made very early.

“It makes me cringe,” he laments, referring to the two game projects being added to his plate. “And I’m not sure it’s the smartest thing to make gamers wait for several years, but the early announcement was made chiefly in order to attract new team members.” Apparently all of his studio’s resources are currently being poured into Kid Icarus: Uprising for the 3DS. “We’ve got no plans whatsoever — we’ve got two new games out there in the open when there’s no extra time to work with them at all.”

But hey, at least it is coming…right?

[PSA] TMNT Re-Shelled Shell Shocked After June 30th

Brendan Saricks — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 13:10:54 +0000

All Good Cliches Offer Excellent Lead Ins. Wait, that’s not how it goes.

Anyway, because Ubisoft’s license is expiring, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled will no longer be available after June 30th. Doesn’t matter if you are a PSNer or a XBLAer, you won’t be able to buy it. Obviously if you were wise previously and purchased it, you get to keep it. If you haven’t, what are you waiting for?

Child of Eden Coming To PS3 – Worth Waiting For

Brendan Saricks — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 13:05:37 +0000

On our Child of Eden Reviewcast, Aaron and I talked about how cool a 3D version of the game would be, and we wondered about it eventually coming to PlayStation 3. Well, lo and behold, it IS coming to PS3 (a detail we obviously missed). Not only is this going to make Aaron upgrade his TV, James Mielke, on the 8-4 Play podcast, said there may be even more surprises:

“It will definitely be worth the couple months that people have to wait for the PS3 version to get finished. People with PS3s, people with nice TVs, people with all kinds of control options… it’s going to be really cool.”

The reason for the release date difference? Q? didn’t get any of that MS money, they are simply handling both versions themselves, with a staff of 30 people. You have to appreciate that commitment to quality. The PlayStation 3 version is due sometime in September.
