Cover: Worle exclusive look at Tiberium, a RTS/FPS hybrid by EA for PS3/360. Futuristic looking Command and Conquer meets Halo vibe.
Interview with John Carmack about his move into mobile games development and also mentions wanting to pursue an Orcs and Elves title on Wii if it does well on DS.
MGS4 delayed to Q2 08(probably old, I don't follow MGS news).
Mark Wahlberg has signed on to do a Max Payne movie.
Atari has suspended game development and might lose the DBZ property. Out of money again...
XBOX Download Program: Says 4 titles availible to download Halo, Fable, Psychonauts, and Crimson Skies. All will be full downloads for 1200 points. Says version might have translation problems and some titles may be missing some features. Says a board game called Carcassonne will be downloadable for free and that Live users that have had the service since it started will get 500 bonus points for free.
Top 50 games of 2007. Top game is Bioshock. other 49 aren't numbered so trolls and fanboys can't fight over the holiday season. In an odd twist, they list each reviewers personal top 10 for the year. Most obvious tragedy is that Super Mario Galaxy is missing from 5 out of the 10 reviewers top 10's. Let me say that again. Half of the GI reviewers didn't even have Super Mario Galaxy in their top 10 for GOTY. Gentlemen, start your hate mail....
