Music in Games

Possibly my favorite Non-Castlevania Konami Music. The Track gives a sense of scale and push, which would be pretty effective if it wasn't so damn good. 'Oh hey I'm just gonna pause and I'll come back to you later, after I've done my post for the day.' (Sometimes I really do this.)

Indie Sales

These aren't some of the best deals you'll find on many of these but the fact that you don't have to buy them all and can get them seperate makes this pretty worthwhile to look at. Thanks Kotaku for the link.

On June 26, Resident Evil: Chronicles HD launches on the PlayStation 3's PlayStation Network for $26.99, targeting those of us who own a PlayStation Move/PlayStation 3, are way into rail shooters, and didn't play the original versions of the Chronicles' games on Wii. That's a ridiculously specific group of people if you ask us.

Should you have played one of the two games that the collection comprises – The Umbrella Chronicles and The Darkside Chronicles – each game will be individually released for $14.99 a few weeks later on July 17.

Warner Bros. Interactive announced today Harry Potter for Kinect, a celebrity-studded exclusive for the Xbox 360 leveraging the motion control peripheral’s camera and gesture features to send you into the vaulted halls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Developed by Eurocom, the UK-based studio behind Dead Space: Extraction and the upcoming 007 Legends, Harry Potter for Kinect covers all eight films and various activities within author JK Rowling’s mega-creation.

Players personalize their witch or wizard by scanning their own face into the game. As if that wasn’t magical enough, spell-slinging entails flicking an on-screen wand while calling out the spell’s name as you battle beside Harry, Ron, Hermione, and the rest of the Hogwarts gang. And no, balling your hands into fists and yelling “Fus Ro Dah” won’t work with this brand of magic.

“Harry Potter for Kinect will engage Harry Potter fans old and new by bringing them into the wizarding world as truly active participants,” Warner Bros. Interactive Senior Vice President of Production and Development Samantha Ryan said. “Kids and parents will enjoy recreating their favorite Harry Potter adventures from flying a broomstick in a Quidditch match to battling pixies and dueling other wizards.”

Harry Potter for Kinect releases this fall for the Xbox 360.

that is the most wonderful news I've heard in the past 5 months.
Platinum Game via their Community livestream confirmed that Sega of America has held back Anarchy Reigns release back with an unspecific date (TBC) at this time. I can only ask why the fuck?, when it was a little over a month away.


The sudden firing of all 379 employees at 38 Studios and Big Huge Games today was a blow to the industry, even for those of us who expected it. Soon after news broke, many developers, artists, designers, PR people, journalists and fans took to the Internet to express frustration and anger -- and to help.

On Twitter, the hashtag "#38jobs" rose to trending in the US, with people shouting out which studios were hiring and generally sending support to those let go today. A Facebook group titled "38Jobs" popped up around the same time. Freelance games journo Alex Rubens gathered all of these jobs tips into a Google Doc that currently sports 84 studios with openings, including Irrational Games, Bungie, Activision, Klei Entertainment, Rockstar and other major and indie companies.

Access the full list here; it is still in the process of being updated and refined, courtesy of Rubens and The Side Of The Gaming Industry That Proves We're Not All Trolling Douchebags.
