According to a news story read over on Develop, UK-based developer Rebellion has lost around 20 staff in a recent round of layoffs. The developer's recently released Aliens vs. Predator was met with a wide range of critical opinion, but the story states that the developer's other Derby-based studio has been closed completely.

Those cheeky Chinese gangsters -- the Triads -- are up to no good again. At least according to Activision's new True Crime game, they're not. It's a good job then that we've scored the very first batch of screenshots from the upcoming Hollywood/Asian-style action adventure. You'll be assuming the role of detective Wei Shen who'll be laying down fists, feet and bullets later this year when the game arrives on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. See More »
EA's putting a final layer of Turtle Wax onto its new downloadable content pack for Need for Speed Shift as we type. The Exotic Racing pack is set to hit the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on March 18th, and it'll be costing fans of the game 800 Microsoft Points (that's 10 of your Earth dollars in case you were wondering.) The pack introduces seven of the sexiest cars the planet has ever seen including the McLaren MP4-12C, Gumpert Apollo and the BMW M1. Mmmmm, tasty. See More »
Mapathy (n.) [map-uh-thee] (often expressed as, "How the hell did you know I was there?!") is a state of indifference to the same old maps one has been playing for the last several months. It's also the made-up word Infinity Ward is using to announce the first map pack for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, coming to Xbox Live on March 30. Frag the jump for details. Read More »
It's not yet known when we'll see Tiger Woods back on the golf course, but EA confirmed today we will see his digital likeness on June 8 with the release of PGA Tour 11. Today at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco Sony made the ho-hum news a bit more interesting when it announced that the game will support its as-yet-unnamed motion controller. Motion control your mouse to the jump for more. Read More »
Last we heard from Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman, the media conglomerate was looking for a hefty refund from Rock Band creator Harmonix following a lackluster 2009. And substantial layoffs at the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based developer cast the future of its music game franchise in doubt. But for now, at least, all is well. Today Dauman announced Rock Band 3 will ship for holiday 2010, and Harmonix welcomed pop megastar Lady Gaga to its roster of musicians. Read More »
Isaac got nasty with his plasma cutter in EA and Visceral's 2008 survival horror game Dead Space, practicing the title's much-touted strategic dismemberment on unrelenting Necromorphs with sadistic artistry. But the engineer's melee kills, chiefly a boot to the dome, were comparatively tame. The team at Visceral wants to change that in Dead Space 2, and they want your help. Read More »
Retired Major League pitcher Curt Schilling earned the nickname "Red Light" during his playing days for his tendency to talk to the media the moment a camera's red light blinked on. So it's been somewhat surprising Schilling has been relatively mum on the games his startup company, 38 Studios, have been working on since 2006. And it makes today's news out of the Massachusetts-based company that much bigger: Single-player RPG "Project Mercury" will be published by EA Partners for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. Read More »
Rebellion's Aliens vs. Predator is about to get its first round of downloadable content. Sega barked out orders late yesterday stating that the Swarm map pack will be hitting Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC all together on the 18th of March. It'll cost you 560 Microsoft Points or $6.99, platform depending. Read More »
One week from today Sony's highly anticipated God of War III will be unleashed on PlayStation 3 owners around the world. It's easily one of the best-looking games ever made, but will Kratos' third (fourth if you count the PSP game) outing be his most triumphant yet? Let's review: 1080p, insane violence and gore, cheeky bedroom antics... How can it possibly fail? Tune in for our final verdict soon. See More »
EA's last-gen shooter Black was often touted as being "gun porn." Whether or not that's a bad thing is a matter of personal taste, but the game's lead designer Stuart Black is now onboard with Codemasters in the UK and is spearheading his new FPS project, Bodycount. We've snagged the first couple official shots, and we're expecting to see great things in the future. See More »
It's nudie magazine day at 2K Games. The developer announced today it has inked a deal with Playboy to integrate more than 50 of the magazine's vintage covers and centerfolds into its long-in-development mobster epic Mafia II. Don your smoking jacket and silk pajamas after the jump. Read More »
Electronic Arts billed DICE's Battlefield: Bad Company 2 as a worthy challenger to Activision's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. But after its first week on the shelves, it appears EA had no idea just how popular Bad Company 2 would become, as droves of gamers flocked to the game and wreaked havoc on EA's ill-prepared servers all weekend long.

We've been curious about ModNation Racers since it debuted at E3 last year -- we all love kart racers -- but we were unsure about how it would play, and how well the much-touted level creation system would work. Yesterday the devs stopped by our office for a long-awaited demo. We enjoyed a demo of the level creator -- which looks incredible, allowing players to create levels, characters, and cars with the same tools the developer used -- but what we really wanted was to try out the racing for ourselves. Several swear-inducing, four-player split-screen races later, here are our thoughts... Read More »
My recent preview tried to emphasize how much the new Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands was a return to the Sands of Time days, but I think the new dev diary really gets the point across. If you're skeptical after the last PoP game, I highly encourage you to check out this film, because despite all the people who worked on the game telling you how awesome their game is, there's also a lot of footage that shows the new Prince in action. Check it out. See More »
