		<title>Moon Story Writers Revealed</title>
		<link>games.edge.ca/index.php?page=news/fullstory.php&amp;indid=5976</link>
		<description>&lt;p&gt;&quot;Are you seeing this, General? - My people are all dead! What the hell did you lead us into here?&quot; - Major Kane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mastiff and Renegade Kid are proud to announce that they have teamed up with writers James McDonough and Adam Patyk (Hellboy, Transformers and much more) of THE ENEMY to turn the dark and twisted storyline into something even more ominous.&lt;img style=&quot;float: right; margin: 5px;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.ripten.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/moonds.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;250&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Working on Moon has been an absolute blast,&quot; said writer Adam Patyk of THE ENEMY. &quot;The fantastic gameplay and striking graphics are some of the first things you notice about the game, and that played a big role in why we were so excited when Mastiff asked us to get involved in helping to refine the characters and story for Moon.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Taking place on the cold lunar surface in the year 2058, Moon places gamers in control of Major Kane of the Extra Terrestrial Encounter Organization, who has been summoned to the newly established Lunar Base Alpha to investigate what has been described as a sealed hatch embedded in the surface of the moon. His briefing is interrupted when a hostile force sweeps through the base, annihilating everything and everyone in its path. It is now up to Major Kane to enter the hatch and seek out the truth that lies below the surface of our Moon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Without the preconceived notions of an existing franchise, working on Moon gave an opportunity for everyone involved in the game's production to really work from the ground up and modify characters' roles and motivations to best serve the story and produce the most entertaining final product,&quot; said Patyk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;We are definitely excited to have had the opportunity to work with creative minds at THE ENEMY,&quot; said Bill Swartz, Head Woof at Mastiff. &quot;They have been an absolute pleasure to work with and we feel that players will truly appreciate Moon's rich character development anddeep storyline.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look for Moon in stores this November.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<title>Coraline Crosses Media Boundaries to become video game</title>
		<link>games.edge.ca/index.php?page=news/fullstory.php&amp;indid=5975</link>
		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;float: right; margin: 5px;&quot; src=&quot;http://rupertgiles.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/coralineposter.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;250&quot; /&gt;Based on the exciting new movie Coraline – the first-ever stop-motion animated feature to be made in 3-D – from Focus Features and LAIKA, the Coraline videogame is coming from D3Publisher (D3P). The game will let players take on the role of the adventurous heroine Coraline and interact with the wondrous characters from the movie while navigating the scheming Other Mother’s web of deceit in a fantastical adventure through two distinct and interactive worlds. Coraline is slated to ship to retail stores for the Wii system, Nintendo DS and the PlayStation2 in early 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The Coraline movie is absolutely mesmerizing and we feel that the visual style and tone of the game will bring the amazing stop-motion animated film and thrilling storyline to life for players,” said Bill Anker, vice president of business development, D3P. “We’re confident that Coraline will offer a truly immersive and interactive gameplay experience that gamers as well as fans of the movie and best-selling book will enjoy.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only videogame based on the upcoming movie, Coraline will allow players to explore and interact with such immersive 3-D environments from the movie as the Pink Palace, its nooks and crannies and apartments, and the unpredictable Other World. Players will engage in unique mini-games and adventures with Coraline’s friends Wybie and Cat as they collect items that will unlock the mysteries of the Other World.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coraline is under development for Wii and the PlayStation 2 system by Papaya Studios and by Art Co. Ltd., for Nintendo DS. Well done Mr. Gaiman! (That's the author of Coraline, a favorite of mine).&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Ignition Entertainment Ltd., a UTV Enterprise, a worldwide publisher and developer of videogames, in conjunction with AQ Interactive is pleased to announce the release of Boing! Docomodake for Nintendo DS.™ Based on the mascot of the leading Japanese mobile phone company, NTT DOCOMO, INC., Boing!

Gamers play as Papa Docomodake and guide him through various obstacles and challenges in order to find his family and get them to the festival on time. Papa Docomodake has a trick or two to help him on his quest. With a tap of the stylus he can release 'Minis' that aid him when the going gets a little tough.

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Get an extra boost and climb to unreachable areas&lt;/li&gt;

		<title>New Star Wars Old Republic MMO from Bioware/LucasArts</title>
		<link>games.edge.ca/index.php?page=news/fullstory.php&amp;indid=5973</link>
		<description>&lt;p&gt;LucasArts and BioWare™, a division of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS), today announced the development of Star Wars®: The Old Republic™, a story-driven massively multiplayer online PC game set in the timeframe of the Star Wars®: Knights of the Old Republic™ franchise. Star Wars: The Old Republic, being developed and published by BioWare and LucasArts, represents an innovative approach to interactive entertainment, featuring immersive storytelling, dynamic combat and intelligent companion characters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Star Wars: The Old Republic, players will explore an age thousands of years before the rise of Darth Vader when war between the Old Republic and the Sith Empire divides the galaxy. Players can choose to play as Jedi, Sith, or a variety of other classic Star Wars roles, defining their personal story and determining their path down the light or dark side of the Force. Along the way, players will befriend courageous companions who will fight at their side or possibly betray them, based on the players’ actions. Players can also choose to team up with friends to battle enemies and overcome incredible challenges using dynamic Star Wars combat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is the most critically acclaimed Star Wars game in LucasArts history and a preeminent example of our company’s interactive storytelling heritage,” said Darrell Rodriguez, President of LucasArts. “For a long time, we’ve wanted to return to the franchise in a grand way, and we felt that the best setting for it was an online world that would allow millions of people to participate in the experience together. We knew that the developer capable of working with us to deliver an engrossing story with a fully-realized online world was BioWare.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Traditionally, massively multiplayer online games have been about three basic gameplay pillars - combat, exploration and character progression,” said Dr. Ray Muzyka, Co-Founder and General Manager/CEO of BioWare and General Manager/Vice President of Electronic Arts Inc., “In Star Wars: The Old Republic, we’re fusing BioWare’s heritage of critically-acclaimed storytelling with the amazing pedigree of Lucasfilm and LucasArts, and adding a brand-new fourth pillar to the equation – story. At the same time, we will still deliver all the fun features and activities that fans have come to expect in a triple-A massively multiplayer online game. To top it all off, Star Wars: The Old Republic is set in a very exciting, dynamic period in the Star Wars universe.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Added Dr. Greg Zeschuk, Co-Founder and Vice President Development Operations, BioWare and Vice President, Electronic Arts Inc., “Star Wars: The Old Republic is set roughly 300 years after the events of Knights of the Old Republic, a timeframe that is completely unexplored in the lore. BioWare has been able to add to the Star Wars history in developing the game’s story and has created an overarching narrative that players can enjoy, regardless of their play style. Our goal is to offer players an emotionally rewarding experience that combines the traditional elements of MMO gameplay with innovations in story and character development.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additional details on Star Wars: The Old Republic features, gameplay and release date will be announced at a later time.

		<title>Go Full Contact with Crysis</title>
		<link>games.edge.ca/index.php?page=news/fullstory.php&amp;indid=5972</link>
		<description>&lt;p&gt;The HaptX Team and Novint are pleased to announce the new Mod for Crysis, which makes Crysis compatible with the multi-awarded Falcon game controller. The Falcon game controller allows the player to feel complex recoils, explosions, weight of objects, enemy fire, and much more, making the Mod for Crysis one of the most exciting games for the Falcon this fall.&lt;img style=&quot;float: left; margin: 5px;&quot; src=&quot;http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/novint_falcon.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;250&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the release of the Crysis Mod, the HaptX Team introduces new action packed Falcon gameplay. Besides feeling weapon recoils and explosions, the gamer can feel acceleration and centrifugal forces when driving vehicles, making the game come to life in a radically new and more exciting way. The HaptX Team has also focused on making the game environment in Crysis become more alive through resistance when swimming in water or feeling the impact when hitting the ground after a high jump.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The gamer’s best friend in Crysis is the Nano Suit which protects the gamer. When playing the HaptX Mod, the different Nano Suit modes will affect the strength and intensity of the forces generated by the Falcon. When in Maximum Strength mode, the Falcon will adjust the strength of the forces accordingly, making you feel stronger when lifting objects, less recoils from your weapons and even less impact from enemy fire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Crysis HaptX Mod will be released on October 24, 2008.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<title>EndWar on DS and PSP Soon</title>
		<link>games.edge.ca/index.php?page=news/fullstory.php&amp;indid=5970</link>
		<description>&lt;p&gt;Today Ubisoft announced that Tom Clancy's EndWar will be released for the Nintendo PSP. Developed by Funatics Software and optimized for the handheld platforms, Tom Clancy's EndWar is rated T for &quot;teen&quot; and will ship to retailers on November 4, 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tom Clancy's EndWar for handhelds allows players to command an elite military force on the ground, in the air and on the seas during World War III. Take control of the elite U.S. Joint Strike Force, European Enforcers Corps or Russian Spetsnaz Guards Brigade and lead your faction to victory in three separate yet interwoven single-player campaigns. Each campaign includes over 30 battle scenarios taking place on real-world battlefields including Paris and London, and features increasingly challenging missions and objectives. Fight against a friend in tense two-player battles in any of the 100 ready-to-play scenarios or in your own custom-created missions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Key Features:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Turn-based strategy with a twist:&lt;/strong&gt; Simultaneous move and attack phases make the experience as intense and authentic as real-time strategy.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Three campaigns,&lt;/strong&gt; one for each faction, with increasingly challenging battle scenarios and objectives.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Over 20 units and vehicles per faction&lt;/strong&gt; including ground, air and naval units. Units gain experience in combat, dramatically improving their combat performance.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Two-player versus multiplayer mode&lt;/strong&gt;, including additional missions specifically designed for multiplayer battles.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Easy-to-pick-up mission editor:&lt;/strong&gt; Create and share your custom battlefields and battle scenarios to play solo or against another player.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Full stylus control&lt;/strong&gt; on Nintendo DS.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Will it translate well to the handhelds? I'm not sure personally.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
