Who is working on games for Project Natal?

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

When Microsoft announced Project Natal it was received with as much enthusiasm as scepticism. The fact that it now has publishers and developers already working on future titles that will utilise it can only point towards the fact that the gaming industry is going to get behind it, perhaps in the hope that it will line some pockets with cash money.

Past the break is the list of Publishers already prepping content for the camera experience.

Is Zune the Next Portable Games System?

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

You may not have heard of the Zune. Main reason being because it hasn’t yet launched in New Zealand. In short it’s basically a portable multimedia device, Microsoft’s answer to the iPod Touch. In a Zune HD promotional video from Microsoft, 3D gaming is revealed as one of the Zune’s new features. The video shows a brief glimpse of a 3D racer. Anyone can currently make games for the platform using XNA so it’s not totally clear if this is advertising 3D XNA games or downloadable games that can be purchased.

Microsoft have denied all rumours in the past but it was only a matter of time really. They most likely want the Zune to compete in the games space against the PSP, DS and especially the iPhone. With 3D games on the horizon I’m sure it’ll head to New Zealand – maybe even as soon as this year, but I won’t be making any bets!

Podcast
I think a fist fight might have broken out in this one if there wasn’t so much good will going on. This weeks podcast follows a rigourous round up of two busy days involving EA previews and a chat with Jinx, one of the Microsoft crew from Australia.

Beaterator Impressions

Friday, September 4th, 2009

Last week during our time checking out the Rockstar line-up we were able to see Rockstar’s upcoming music creation tool Beaterator. That’s right, a music creation tool, it is on a gaming device, but isn’t what most people would consider a game, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t going to be fun.

BMPodcast

It’s that time of the week again, time for talking about games and stuff that might perhaps in some way relate to games in some way. Some things that get mentioned at some point include Red Dead Redemption, I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES!!!1, Shadow Complex and some other stuff that I probably cared about at the time but can’t recal from memory.
