Tiberium isn’t the first first-person shooter EA has created out of its popular Command & Conquer real-time strategy franchise, but it is the first attempt in over half a decade. As such, Tiberium will bring all the latest technology to the fray, and developer EALA looks to craft a game that will blend the squad control of the RTS games with intense first-person shooter gameplay. Along the way, Tiberium will also fill in huge holes in the history of the Command & Conquer universe. We finally got our first look at Tiberium recently, and EA showed off some of its core gameplay and features.

Even though you are halfway across the store, you can still hear it. It is a sound that grates on everyone’s nerves: a whiney and spoiled child throwing a temper tantrum. If the children do not get a particular item, they will throw a fit making sure everyone around can hear their plea. You look around and see people starting to cover their ears trying to avoid the shrieking cries from the child while praying that their ear drums will not burst. You are starting to reach your breaking point, and about to purchase the item for the child to shut them up, it suddenly becomes silent. You being to wonder if the parents caved in, the child received much needed discipline, or they just left the store.

2007 was a stellar year for Xbox 360’s software library—but can Microsoft pull it off again in ‘08? Microsoft’s Shane Kim, expectedly, believes so.In a one-on-one interview between Microsoft Game Studios VP Kim and New York Times reporter Seth Schiesel during the DICE Summit in Las Vegas, Schiesel pointed out how Xbox 360’s 2008 software lineup pales in comparison to a year that saw BioShock, Mass Effect, Halo 3, The Orange Box and other heavy hitters.
The 2008 games lineup just doesn’t seem as “stacked” as last year, Schiesel said.

Microsoft will make sure that the Xbox 360 benefits most from the GTA IV launch, and from a content standpoint it “already owns it”, says Microsoft Game Studios boss Shane Kim.
Speaking to US magazine Wired at the DICE summit, the Microsoft games boss said that making sure it owns the launch of Grand Theft Auto IV from a platform perspective “is really important.”

I hear the term GAMER all the time. Usually it is used with disgust as someone asks if I am one. By GAMER, they mean a sweaty teen in his parent’s basement, or a sweaty 40 year old in his mother’s basement. They really are referring to a biased term used by media know-it-alls, and clueless game company execs to describe hardcore gamers. So, my answer is sometimes NO and sometimes MAYBE. I don’t really have a definitive answer because I like games and I play games, and I make games, but my total being is not summed up with that one title. Especially one that is used with such derision by so many in the media so often. Gamer to them is a sickness. I once even had a mild case of it. But the media and even big game companies seem to be prescribing either aspirin (casual games) or open heart surgery (Halo 3 online with achievements) to the ailment these days. Read more…

Who’s winning the console war right now? If you answered “Wii”, then guess again.
Although the Wii has indisputably made its way into more homes than the Xbox 360 or the PlayStation 3, it should not be considered the most successful console of this generation so far. No, I’m not trying to trip you up, either: Nintendo DS is not the answer. Despite falling a few million units behind in terms of console sales, the Xbox 360 is actually winning this generation. Let me explain why.

The Xbox 360 had one of the strongest years in console gaming, second only to the Nintendo Wii, the charming console for the whole family. But amidst all the success and the record-breaking sales, an ugly demon reared its head as well, the ‘Red Ring of Death.’ The Ring of Light on the front of the Xbox usually greets us with its swirling green lights accompanied by the faint hum of the Xbox whirring to life. Sometimes, it doesn’t. Should you have ever tried to boot the console up with the A/V cables loose or the power brick or AC adapters loose, you’ve seen the 4 red lights and you’ve felt your heart splash as it hit the bottom of your stomach, but upon further inspection, you’re still good to go. But what about the countless number of consoles that were one red light short, the 3 red flashing lights that testify to the utter death of your Xbox 360?
