Recently I had the chance to sit down for a few hours with LucasArts’ upcoming third-person shooter, Fracture, specifically its multiplayer across three maps and four modes. It was fun in the sense that almost all competitive multiplayer games are entertaining enough the first time you play them. But in itself that isn’t sufficient to sustain your interest once the novelty wears off. I left Fracture unsure of whether the game didn’t offer enough depth or if I simply hadn’t yet come to grips with its unique feature set.

The sheer size of the DS install base means that some strange things can happen down in the trenches. Smaller third-party software companies look at that number (which is extremely large), maybe they do some sums, possibly they also notice the peculiar hardware features of the DS. And then software designers go slightly mad. Hence: cooking games you shout at for new instructions! Mind control! Things that are not RPGs or platformers! And in my warm grip, the Korg DS-10, which [spoiler warning] does not really sound like a vintage Korg analog synthesiser but is something very interesting and unique regardless.

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved has long been the poster child for digitally distributed games on consoles, mostly due to the fact it was the only decent game on Xbox Live Arcade for about 9 months. The game's intensity and gradually escalating difficulty level resonated with audiences, resulting in it quickly becoming one of the best-selling titles on the service. The popularity of the game resulted in a port to the PC, the appearance of an alternate version called Geometry Wars Waves in Project Gotham Racing 4, and the more fleshed out Geometry Wars Galaxies for the Wii and DS. Now we've finally got the fully fledged sequel, Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2.

There's a story the Warhammer 40 000: Dawn of War II developers tell. A journalist during the E3 demos was asking pointless questions: "How long will the game be? What's the box art going to be like?"
Jonny Ebert, the Principal Producer, finally dismissed all this as garbled, retarded barking it was, simply and calmly replying, "Look, DoW II is going to have 40 per cent more boom."
It may be too early to tell if 40 per cent more boom is precisely the right margin but there's definitely some sort of boom ratio improvement going on...

What series of quiz games have topped the charts as one of world's best selling party titles on the Playstation 2? If you answered BUZZ! , you'd be correct. After six key releases on the PS2 in only three short years, BUZZ! is finally making the jump to new platforms. This winter we have been treated to the simultaneous release of BUZZ! on both the PSP and a PS3. With Matt K dishing up [review=266]his thoughts[/review] on the handheld edition, I took it upon myself to round up the PS3, a case of beer and the Games Network's best and brightest quiz masters to put BUZZ! Quiz TV through its paces.
