IncGamers: MMO WEEKLY 30/06
In part one of this two part series, Jeff Hollis discusses how to bring the long, slow and painful death to an MMO. Using the most popular MMO available at the moment, Hollis draws comparisons to other, previously more successful, MMOs.

"Yeah, that's right, you heard me. WoW is in the act of committing suicide, and Blizzard don't even know it. Now, before you get all huffy and angry with me (save that for later, you Blizzlovers, you), allow me to give you a bit of background. And when I say background, I mean way, waaaaay back, to the games that inspired WoW in the first place, and to where these games went wrong."

REHorror: What if Resident Evil stayed exclusive to Nintendo?
"We all remember when it was announced by Shinji Mikami san several years ago that Resident Evil would be Nintendo exclusive for the foreseeable future. We also remember how the reaction to this announcement was. However what we didn't expect was for not only the exclusivity to end but also Mikami's relations with the franchise he created to cease. So what if Capcom let Mikami go with his vision for Resident Evil on Nintendo platforms instead of ruining a strong relationship by breaking the exclusivity deal. (porting RE4 to PS2)"

But have they lost their roots along the way? Have they lost their soul?

Indie Games: Elevating the Underdogs
Jason Evangelho writes:

"The word "Independent" conjures an ever-widening spectrum of emotion across all forms of creative media, and video games are no exception.

Indie games can basically be defined as titles that are created without the financial support of a video game publisher. A technical definition is one thing, but social definitions tend to get complicated. For example, Insomniac Gamesbest known for Resistance and Ratchet & Clankconsider themselves an independent studio, but others would balk at that conclusion and point towards smaller operations like The Behemoth or, well, Jonathan Blow.

Simply put, it's a popularif not accuratebelief that if you're quietly crafting the next World of Goo in your living room, funded by garage sales and family donations, you're indie. Or perhaps punk rock, but I digress...Just for the purpose of this discussion, let's embrace that view and run with it."

"Adventure Quest" is a play steeped in video game history. Its direct inspiration goes back to the late 80s and early '90s, when point-and-click adventure games ruled with an iron fist.

Adam Swiderski is the director of "Adventure Quest," which is playing at The Brick Theater in Brooklyn throughout June and July. He says much of the crew is made up of true fans of the genre, all of whom have a "connection to Sierra-era adventure games."...

I wanted to give a different take on the "Top 10 Video Game Characters" best-of lists we see so often in video game journalism. This usually leaves out characters that have faded away (such as Sonic) or characters that have died or only appeared in one game (although they may have shown some staying power). It also gives room for new characters that have made a big impact in recent years. These are ranked in order from the character who would receive the least amount to the ultimate paycheck for their next game."

While the campaigns that shipped with Left 4 Dead were all pretty good, you do get sick of them after a while. Which is where custom, user-generated campaigns come in.

Firstly, with this update map creators will be able to package their content into a single file (a .VPK). This will make displaying, downloading and installing the campaigns a cinch for other users. The game's matchmaking system will also be updated to reflect this, with "extensive support for custom add-on campaigns"..

How Nintendo's boss rewrote the rules of the game

PlayStation 3 Wireless Keypad

Microsoft had one and with the increase in text input in consoles, it was only a matter of time before Sony came out with an attachment as well to facilitate typing for the PlayStation 3. In comes the PlayStation 3 Wireless Keypad, a peripheral that has good intentions but fails to live up to the Microsoft counterpart.


How Nintendo's boss rewrote the rules of the game
Satoru Iwata is not your typical Japanese company president. When he talks about the games his company produces, the 49-year-old Nintendo CEO's eyes positively twinkle with mischief and excitement.

Nintendo employees speak with hushed reverence about their occasional meetings with the man, about his inspirational qualities, about his power to make them believe in ideas they'd previously found far-fetched or plain stupid.

IncGamers' Jeff Hollis is back and this time he discusses one of the MMOs which got him quite excited at E3...Global Agenda.

"I have to say, right up front, that I'm not in love with the title. "Global Agenda" sounds like a game about world domination, imperialism, and political conquest. You know, a build-your-empire game of some kind, maybe an RTS, or a turn-based strategy game. It certainly doesn't sound like a shooter or an MMO."

Electronic Arts previewed the new Army of Two videogame at E3 along with the new action figures of the game's protagonists, Tyson Rios and Eliot Salem, that will be released later this year by NECA.


The Secret E3 Announcements you Didn't Know About
"Below you will read about many of the secrets of E3; secret in that they did not come with a press release or a screenshot, nor was the information released to anyone walking by. It was heard whispered behind backs, imparted across beers or was pried out via targeted questioning. Nothing can be considered anything more than a rumour as some of it may never eventuate when all is said and done, or be flat out denied by those involved. And in the end it is my interpretation of the way events unfolded rather than facts on a sheet. But if you like your games, certainly there will be plenty for you to chew on as in the chaos of E3, it all happened…"

ATI Expects a "Wave" of DirectX 11 Game Titles to Ship This Year.
Xbit: "ATI said that the adoption rate of the next-generation Microsoft DirectX 11 application programming interface by game developers is rather high and that the company expects to see "a wave" of titles supporting DirectX 11 already this year.

"We now have more startups with DirectX 11 than we saw at this stage with DirectX 10. After DirectX 10 was formally released in the very end of November, 2006, there was a lag of something like 5 months before the very first [DX10] title arrived. We expect a wave of [DX11] games to arrive during this calendar year", said Richard Huddy, senior manager of software developer relations at AMD/ATI, at a conference on Thursday.

Apparently, there are so many game developers working on titles that utilize the DirectX 11 technology that ATI's developer relations team is working on full throttle to support them."

"With E3 over, and Nintendo showing off it's software lineup, I couldn't help but wonder why people can't pick up on what Nintendo is doing.

Sony and Microsoft both showed their expected motion controls, but Nintendo really didn't seem to care. Nintendo has it's Blue Ocean Strategy and they will stick with it through thick or thin. The disruption of Nintendo is finally being felt like never before in games, but with Sony and Microsoft already having huge processors and showing their motion controllers, what will Nintendo do?"

Top 10 Exclusives We'd Love To Steal @ E3'09
OXCGN:

"For all the exclusives confirmed and soon to be confirmed for the Xbox 360, there are as always some stellar titles on other platforms. Most of us (80%) here at OXCGN are lucky enough to have both an Xbox 360 & PS3, along with the occasional Wii and the standard PC.

However, for many of our readers who only have the one console, namely the Xbox 360, we feel it's our duty to indulge in a bit of fun and a whole lot of wishful thinking. So here are our picks for the exclusives on the Wii, PS3 and PC that we'd most like to see magically announced for the 360 at this year's E3.

And be warned… our big wish of last year, Final Fantasy XIII, came true… and we think there's at least one of the following that'll do the same this year."
