Filed under: Features , PC , Adventure , Puzzle , Interviews Everyone loves pie, and this year's IndieCade International Festival made our favorite delicious pastry even better, marrying it with time travel in The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom , one of the event's more interesting finalists. A product of late night brainstorming and drawing more than a little inspiration from silent film, the game offers an unique blend of platforming and puzzle solving as players guide the mischievous Winterbottom on his single-minded quest for more pie. We recently jumped at the opportunity to speak with the game's creator, Matt Korba, and over the course of the Interview we picked his brain on a variety of topics, from the title's origin as a thesis project to similarities with fellow indie time travel experiment, Braid . And of course, pie.

Filed under: Culture , Interviews , Rhythm Tommy Tallarico has been working in the video game industry since 1991, and has worked on the audio and music for over 250 games, which sounds exhausting enough. He also ocassionally co-hosts Reviews on the Run (formerly Judgement Day on G4), he's a co-founder of the Game Audio Network Guild , serves on the advisory board for the Game Developers Conference, and somewhere amidst that schedule he found time to co-create (with game composer Jack Wall) the live-action game music experience that is Video Games Live. Video Games Live has been bringing the rocking tunes of games to audiences around the world for three years now. Whereas Jack Wall provides the baton-waving, classy dress portion of the show, Tallarico is the tennis-shoe wearing, Spider-Man guitar-wielding rock element. Check out our full Interview with Tommy after the break, and check the VGL schedule to see if there's a show near you -- because everyone should hear the Mario Bros. theme played live at least once.

Filed under: Sony PlayStation 3 , Microsoft Xbox 360 , Action , Adventure Following our recent hands-on with the soon-to-be-released Prince of Persia , we sat down with series producer, Ben Mattes, to chat about how (and why) this new installment - and, in some respects, direction - for the iconic franchise came to be. Mattes wasn't afraid to cite his team's influences for the project, nor to lavish praise on the competition. He spoke about what wasn't quite right with follow-ups to the acclaimed Sands of Time and how, in a variety of ways, Ubisoft Montreal tried (and sometimes failed) to nail it this time around. Re-creating Guitar Hero - like Zen in the platforming? He thinks that worked. Read on for Mattes' insight into the game's creation; early hurdles (and lessons learned); the new prince (and what people think of him); and designing combat that doesn't try to compete where, in his words, God of War has already "won." %Gallery-23908% Continue reading Joystiq Interview: Prince of Persia producer Ben Mattes Joystiq Interview: Prince of Persia producer Ben Mattes originally appeared on Joystiq on Tue, 18 Nov 2008 08:00:00 EST.

Filed under: Features , Hacks , Mac , PC , Nintendo Wii , Interviews One of the more unique finalists in this year's IndieCade International Festival, Dark Room Sex Game was a student project from the IT University of Copenhagen that require players to cooperatively "reach climax" by finding a mutual rhythm (by shaking a Wii remote) and speeding it up.

Filed under: Sony PlayStation 2 , Sony PlayStation 3 , Retro , RPGs While the prospect of ever seeing an official, localized release of Persona 2: Innocent Sin remains bleak, those who missed the second chapter, Persona 2: Eternal Punishment , when it was first released on PlayStation (yes, PS1) eight years ago, now have a second, albeit seriously limited chance to score a copy of the reprint. Bet you never thought you'd be buying a brand new (and full-priced!) PS1 game again, did you? To commemorate the December 9th release of Persona 4 , Atlus has announced an "ultra limited" reprint of Persona 2 , including a bonus disc featuring the trailer and video Interview with the developers, to be sold exclusively through Amazon.com and Amazon.ca.

Filed under: Microsoft Xbox 360 , Action Rockstar Games' Dan Houser isn't positive that the exclusive Grand Theft Auto IV downloadable content for Xbox 360 will make a 2008 release. In an Interview with Variety , when asked directly if he expects the DLC to release this year, the Don of GTA fesses up he's "not sure" and hopes to announce a release date in the next few weeks. Despite Microsoft's reassurances , a delay to early next year wouldn't be wholly unexpected, with the rumor mill spewing forth a January or February release date. Really, though, does anybody have time for another romp through Liberty City when there's Sera , The Ishimura , Africa and our imaginations to visit?

Filed under: Nintendo Wii , Business Gamasutra has a post-TGS Interview with Tecmo's now Itagaki-less Team Ninja, in which the reign-holder of such franchises as Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive pretty much shrugs off any remaining traces of platform-exclusivity. In fact, it may even develop for Wii. Yosuke Hayashi, director of Ninja Gaiden Sigma for PS3 (a game Itagaki didn't, er, particularly care for ), discussed the studio's intent to create a brand new audience on top of its existing one, saying that, "If that lends to one console - PS3, or if that's going to be the Wii - that's just the direction we will go." Hayashi further clarified the approach Team Ninja will take to choosing platforms for its titles going forward, saying, "It really depends on the audience and what we want to deliver, in order to make the most entertaining content."

Filed under: Sony PlayStation 3 Microsoft has been relentless in their pursuit of exclusivity rights for the downloadable content for some of the biggest games of the year -- Grand Theft Auto IV , of course, being chief among them . Other than a vague comment from SCEE president David Reeves, who hinted in May that extra content for GTA IV would "probably" be coming to the PS3, we've not heard much contention from Sony's higher-ups over Microsoft's stranglehold on the DLC of these third-party blockbusters. This silence was recently broken by Sony UK managing director Ray Maguire, who, in an Interview with VideoGamer.com , stated, "nothing is ever exclusive." Maguire explained that while the competition had spent "a large amount of money" to purchase exclusive DLC rights for "a period of time", Sony had chosen to funnel their money into research and development, as well as the production of titles such as LittleBigPlanet . His statements certainly seem to hint at the possibility of 360-exclusive DLC eventually finding its way onto the PS3 -- though considering the kind of green Microsoft dishes out to secure said DLC, we'd be surprised if it happened anytime soon.

Filed under: Business Mortal Kombat creator (kreator?) Ed Boon has come forward, labeling recent reports of Midway's Chicago branch handing out pink slips to many of the individuals who worked on Mortal Kombat vs. DC as "completely false." Last week, numerous outlets reported that the troubled publisher and developer let go of around 20 to 30 employees following the completion of both the recent cross-universe brawler and Blitz: The League II . However, speaking in an Interview with GameDaily, Boon asserts that the Mortal Kombat team specifically is still together, and is already brainstorming on what to work on next. He adds that the crew is sizing up Mortal Kombat vs. DC 's performance, as "it will have a good amount to do with what features we put in the next game." Of course, this says nothing of those in The Windy City who worked specifically on Midway's sequel to Blitz , or if the company decided to have them go long all the way to the unemployment line. Boon talks Midway layoffs, next Mortal Kombat originally appeared on Joystiq on Tue, 18 Nov 2008 14:15:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds . Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments ...
Filed under: Nintendo Wii , Exergaming We picked up Nintendo's wildly popular digital personal trainer, Wii Fit , shortly after launch with hopes to transform ourselves into Hasslehoffian dreamboats -- sadly, we found the Balance Board's unflinching critique of our porcine physiques far too traumatizing . Fortunately, according to an article in the latest issue of Men's Fitness, Electronic Arts is hard at work on their own fitness title for the Wii -- one that will use a brand new (and hopefully less judgmental) peripheral. This isn't the first we've heard of EA's answer to Wii Fit -- though details on the new peripheral (and the apparent eschewing of the game's use of the Balance Board) is news to us. According to the magazine's Interview with EA executive producer Dave McCarthy, the aforementioned peripheral will allow players to attach the Wiimote to their body, where it will measure their movements during a series of in-game exercises. No details on a release schedule for the game, or its capacity to make us openly weep, were mentioned.

Filed under: Culture , Action The video we're referring to isn't embeddable, so we're afraid this is one of those old-fashioned, " go check out this thing on the internet " posts. The buxom thing in question is a deliciously awkward Interview with official Lara Croft impersonator, Alison Carroll . Shortly after confirming that Lara Croft is indeed an archaeologist, the lithe leading lady flounders and grows visibly annoyed upon being asked, "When did they find the Tomb of Tutankhamun?" Of course, rather than humor the interviewer (1922, by the way) and risk making a fictional video game character look bad , Ms. Carroll summons her caretaker to shut down the pesky journalist. Take that, question man! [Via UK:Resistance ] Lara Croft claims to be an archaeologist originally appeared on Joystiq on Fri, 07 Nov 2008 14:45:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds .
