Loose Talk:

Sony developing a Wiimote like device internally being called the Waggle. Likely to be packed in with a game. Full functionality not known at this time, but it will contain motion sensing. Sony's Waggle will not require a sensor bar or be based on IR.

Activision cleaning house. All future projects at Sierra are being reviewed (we knew this already).

Road Rash rumor... is this the secret game being developed by Starbreeze Studios for EA?


Cool article titled "What If" which poses the following questions to the game minds listed. They respond with what they would do with the series. Worth reading for sure!
- What if PETE WANAT made the next TOMB RADIDER
- What if TODD HOWARD made the next FINAL FANTASY
- What if TED PRICE made the next ROCK BAND
- What if JASON RUBIN made the next RESIDENT EVIL

What's the gears feature like? Pictures? Or just text?

[MiamiWesker]

Ohhhh... nice.

[PepsimanVsJoe]

I hope I get the red cover. =/

[MirageDwarf]

Gears.....Any in-game screens?

[The-Switcher]

Goddamn, I want to play TWEWY

Could the Okami scores be anymore confusing? Nintendo Power says it's garbage, but Game Informer loves it?

This shit is:

[neverknowsbest]

Gears is a cool and fun game, but the character design is pretty awful. I'm excited to see that The World Ends With You is getting good reviews though, that game looks really cool and I can't wait to pick it up. And its character designs aren't meatheaded space marines!

[deejay8595]

ughh ooooooo

[Jason's Ultimatum]

WTF? So new info and pics of GoW2?

[Johnas]

Loose Talk?

por favor, of course.

EDIT: saw your edit

[SHOTEH FOCK OP]

12 pages. Screenshots, artwork, character profiles, haven't read the whole thing yet.

Looking at it closer, it might all be concept art that just looks like screenshots... I'll let you know.

[No Means Nomad]

Gears.....Any in-game screens?

If there's in-game stuff I'll probably go buy my first GI in years.

[DMPrince]

oh. i forgot. i subscribe to GI. I want any cover <3

[dammitmattt]

Boring month of reviews, but by God, share the Gears 2 info!!!

[K.Jack]

Command & Conquer 3: Kane’s Wrath (PC) 7.75 / 8

terse summary plz -_-'

[Viewt]

I know a lot of people rag on Game Informer for various reasons, but one thing that really can't be denied is that they have a great sense of design. That cover is awesome.

[Linkzg]

how exactly does game of the month work?

[Viewt]

Just like you'd think it would = highest scored game gets the nod. There are exceptions made when it's a new version of a game that's already won it, and if two games get the same score, they'll usually pick one (though I do remember San Andreas and Halo 2 both getting Game of the Month).

[SpudBud]

OP, how come you not put Gears in title? How can you miss that? Now share some info please.

[Mamesj]

Viking: Battle for Asgard (PS3, 360) 7.25 / 5.5

Isn't it essentially just a screenshot of the teaser with some text over it?

I guess that explains Okami not getting it.

[DMczaf]

Where are the Meat Cube pictures!

[Imperial Hot]

Someone summarize the GI issue.

ANTI-WAGGLE ATTACK FORCE

[Sol..]

Didn't they give MLB 2k8 a 8.5 as well?




I can't comprehend MLB 2k8 being on the same level as MLB 08.










Ever

[Grecco]

I just got the 007 obsedian rpg cover like a week ago. Gawd.

[SPEA]

Damnit Activision! leave sierra online alone

Seriously.


"Leave Sierra Alonnnne!!"

[Teknoman]

Sony needs to just focus on perfecting six-axis tilt functionality and leave the rest to Nintendo.

[OldJadedGamer]

When is the last time GI had a cover for a game that was actually coming out the same year as the magazine?

[Mefisutoferesu]

Goddamn, I want to play TWEWY Could the Okami scores be anymore confusing? Nintendo Power says it's garbage, but Game Informer loves it?

Well, NP never said they hated it, just that standard > waggle controls, because it introduced some inaccuracies and over touchy control, that's all. Also, GI tends to be a little more forgiving with scoring compared to other magazines.

[Team Klimt]

Resistance 2 baby.

[Felix Lighter]

Where's ShinBlade? He is going to be really disgusted with Sony.
