| Bioshock: Infinite Being Developed Simultaneously on Each Platform Posted: 19 Nov 2010 09:22 PM PST Most games are developed on one platform — usually the PC or Xbox 360 — and then ported over to the other platforms, and that usually means that best version of the game is the one on the platform on which it was developed. But Bioshock: Infinite has no lead platform. Irrational Games apparently has such a large number of folks working on the game that they have separate teams developing for each platform –the PC, PS3 and 360 — at the same time. This info comes from Irrational lead designer Chris Kline, posting on the Irrational forums. But that’s not all he said. I’d summarize his other comments, but I don’t really understand what he’s talking about well enough to do so, so here’s a quote: “We all know that the PS3 is powerful but unique console with its own strengths and challenges. But compared to the PC, the Xbox 360 is challenging too. So instead of declaring a ‘lead platform’ and porting the game to the others, we’ve instead changed the game engine so that all platforms look (to a programmer) more like a PS3. This means implementing a task-oriented task processor that assumes a NUMA (non-uniform memory access) design that mimics the PPU/SPU split of the PS3. Writing code this way is more difficult for us, but has a key advantage: it’s both optimal for the PS3 *and* gives speed improvements on other platforms due to increased cache coherence and more efficient use of multiple processing units.” Cool, man. Cool. Sounds good. So don’t fret about the PS3 version, guys.

| Books-A-Million Now In the Games Business Posted: 19 Nov 2010 08:54 PM PST
GS followed that up by calling on corporate, from whom they got no response. Then they called a s**tload of BAM stores and learned that some are, indeed, selling games while other are not. The wrinkle that comes after is that the stores with games are only selling used games. They don’t buy used games, though. So that’s that. Now you have a new place at which you can buy yer vijo games, and a book store now has competitors in the games industry.

| How to Find and F**k Over Douchebag Black Ops Boosters (VIDEO) Posted: 19 Nov 2010 07:50 PM PST In the grand scheme of things, boosters probably aren’t as evil as glitchers, but they’re still pretty much worthless motherf**kers, because they aren’t really playing within the set parameters of the game. Not really. Also, you’re not supposed to do that. Anyway, if hate these pricks for their ill-earned perks and loadouts and e-peen, I have a video for you that will teach you how to root out these losers. You can also learn how to become one of those losers, but please resist the urge, because it’s not unlikely that someone will just find and report you, too.

| Posted: 19 Nov 2010 07:27 PM PST It’s been a number of years, but Splatterhouse is back, taking advantage of the power of modern consoles to deliver an experience that is as violent as it is gleefully gory. The basic plot is refreshingly straightforward: a mad scientists unleashes legions of stomach turning-monsters, using them to kidnap the protagonist’s sexy girlfriend and wounding him in the process. Our hero, Rick, finds a magical mask that imbues him with horror movie superpowers, and he sets off on a mission of revenge. Namco Bandai is no stranger to the beat-em-up, and the over-the-top, combo-based gameplay is a blast. There are definitely challenges afoot, though, so take advantage of our full walkthrough. If you’re looking for hard data, like trophies, achievements, or lists of collectibles, you can check out our cheats page. Check back on release day for the first walkthrough updates.

| Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood Rift Locations and Puzzle Solutions Posted: 19 Nov 2010 07:14 PM PST Scattered around the Roman Landscape are 10 special collectibles: the rifts. Visible only by triggering Eagle Vision, they appear in a structure database as an icon that looks like an eye. Upon finding them and climbing up to them Ezio can enter the Rift, where he will be asked to solve a puzzle. After finding all the Rifts and solving all the puzzles, he will be presented with a revelation about the Assassin’s Creed universe. Below, you’ll find a list of the ten Rift locations and solutions to the puzzles contained within. Rift LocationsCentro District North - On the north face of the Viewpoint Tower. Centro District South – On the north wall of the Rosa in Fiore Centro District South – Inside the Pantheon, just above the main entrance. Centro District South – On the southeast wall of the Palazzo Senatoria. Approach from the roof above, drop down, and perform a Catch Back move to access it. Campagna North – On the inside of the eastern wall of the keep in the castle on the eastern extreme of this district; access it by employing the beam below. Campagna South – On the outside of the eastern wall of the Barracks compound. Use a Drop and Catch Back to reach it. Antico West – On the north face of the tall tower in the center of the area. Drop down from above. Antico East – On the topmost level of the Colosseum’s northeast face. Get the Feather and Borgia flag on the outer wall of this famous landmark while you’re at it.

| Kinect and Move Will Have Wii Syndrome This Holiday, Says GameStop Posted: 19 Nov 2010 06:59 PM PST Four years ago, when the Wii came out, it was so damn hard to find one that people would fight and point guns at ear other so they could get one. Basically, it was like this: This happened because Nintendo just didn’t make enough of the goddamn things. Anyway, that long segue was leading to this: GameStop executive vice president Tony Bartel says the exact same thing is going to happen this year with Kinect and Move(who’s gonna win, though, Tony?) I’m not being hyperbolic; he is.
He then goes on to say Kinect Sports and Dance Central are selling well, and he says those titles are the “expanded audience type of games” that are attaching well to Kinect sales. What he means is that Kinect is moving really well thanks to that very important holiday season demographic known as “moms,” who just wanna find something they can play with their children, damn it!

| Posted: 19 Nov 2010 05:47 PM PST First released in 1988, Splatterhouse was an early example of a gaming foray into the exploitation genre, and the title featured copious gore and spooky, horror-inspired enemies. Conspicously-muscled protagonist Rick wore his Jason Voorhes-style hockey mask with aplomb, and hacked through an army of things that go bump in the night with the help of his trusty 2×4. More than two decades later, the series has returned, sporting a snazzy, idiosyncratic graphics update and a rebooted plot. Rick and his girlfriend Jennifer are back, battling the forces of the evil Dr. West, a setup that has a satisfyingly simplistic, retro feel. Below, you’ll find links to a full walkthrough, along with trophies and achievements. As our crack team of writers works through the game, we’ll have links to collectibles/unlockables as well.

| Infinity Ward Has Been “Reconstructed” Posted: 19 Nov 2010 03:41 PM PST Jean-Bernard Lévy is the chairman and CEO of Vivendi. This means he gets to talk at important conferences and functions, and he gets to say what the hell he wants. And here are some interesting things he said at the Morgan Stanley TMT in Barcelona, as reported by Financial Times, in regards to that whole Activision/Infinity Ward (Vivendi owns them, bruhs) kerfuffle earlier this year: “We have reconstructed Infinity Ward. We are very happy with the way we have been able to reconstruct it.” He didn’t elaborate on that, but that they’re happy is all that matters. However, he did take a pretty good shot at IW. Read this:
The implication, then, is that the loyal staff at Treyarch is better than Infinity Ward’s former non-loyal staff. Now that IW is rebuilt with a new, loyal staff, they can do work that is just as good as what Treyarch did with Black Ops. Nice.
