Furthering that, Jackson is forming Wingnut Interactive in partnership
with MS. They will be creating new Halo IP.
Ensemble Studios is producing Halo Wars. We all knew it was coming. A
Halo based RTS.
Sounds good.

Just downloaded the DOOM demo; 800 points for the full
game (certainly not bad) and the first level of the
first chapter as a demo. Fun.

One thing that I noticed about the retro arcade titles was how the
action was all taking place on a tiny window of the screen, with a
static drawing on all sides of it. I can understand having it on the
left and right, since many of those arcade games used a vertical
display and few people these days would feel like flipping their TVs on
their side. But why also have it on the top and bottom, further
shrinking everything?
Also, the footage they showed for one of the titles was for Contra, yet
there were several times when various MS reps (including Peter Moore)
only mention Super Contra, a completely different (and inferior, IMHO)
title. >> Stay informed about: X06 News... |
