Pretty big announcement about Madden 10 from EA just now on Gametrailers TV.

Co-op play over Live and PSN will be a new feature. I love Madden and I think this is pretty awesome.

I'll never use it. But it's awesome.

iPod iCamera- iYay?

Gizmodo is reporting that the next iPod Nano will come complete with a built in digital camera. I'm definately not sold on this idea. Don't get me wrong, it's probably true, but I don't really see the point.

Oh crap, he's back!

Well, well, well... it looks like Sam Fischer is back in action at last. Ubisoft just launched a teaser site for 'Conviction'- the next, Bourne-like (and Xbox only), entry into the Splinter Cell saga.

Took 'em long enough.

Ouch

It looks like the 'recession' is finally hitting the electronic world pretty hard. Namely, Sony.

It's disappointing because I thought Sony of all companies would stand fast against the crash. They're into so much that they seemed pretty safe. The biggest drop came out of their entertainment division. Eighteen percent down.

Damn Depress..uh..Recession.

Resident Evil is on the iPhone!

In the 'where the hell did this come from' file is Resident Evil Degeneration for the iPhone. Apparently, it's a full fledged third person shooter in Res Evil vein and is based on the animated movie of the same name. The movie featured Leon and Clair trapped in an airport with *wait for it* a bunch of zombies.

Contra Rebirth

There are some franchises that just need to stay in the second dimension.


Anybody who remembers action gaming on the NES & SNES (or Genesis for that matter) knows the name 'Contra'. The recent (and excellent) Contra 4 on the DS was a great continuation of a 2D series that stumbled and fell flat on it's face into the world of 3D. But now it looks like we're going to be treated to a second modern 2D iteration of the classic blast-a-thon. 1up.com has reported that Konami's Japanese website has a bit about a WiiWare version of Contra called 'Contra Rebirth'.

It's not really clear at present if this is a new game or a remake of one of the previous games in the series. Whatever it may be, it's really awesome that companies are producing 'SF2HD-style' remakes of their back catalogs. First Street Fighter and Bionic Commando, then Turtles in Time, now Contra- keep 'em coming! (and preferably to all the networks)

Apple iBox? MacStation? Apptendo Iii? (!)

I've been thinking that Apple was putting something together on the gaming front for a while now.

TUAW just made a perfect case for it though. Go check out the article.
