Nope.  It originated on SNES.

 

 

Duke Nukem Forever will be released in time for the holidays.  Hold me to it.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

 It has been mentioned, but it's ages ago, which is why I think it'll finally surface. And guess what? I think it will be a fantastic game!

Sony owns the Lemmings franchise. So it's not coming to the Wii.

I'm interested in the ace cards some companies might be holding back, are there some interesting games in development not yet announced. Some big exclusives maybe?

 The boldest of all bold claims! Put it in your sig! No one will bash you if you're wrong though... That game just isn't happening it seems.

PS: I wonder how ID software's "Rage" is doing? Anyone know?

Seeing Dallinor's list reminded me; where the hell is The Getaway from Team Soho? It was the very first PS3 title showcased! Maybe it'll conjoin with Duke Nuke 'Em?...



Garcian Smith on 25 January 2008

Expected: SSBB will be released to rave reviews and sell millions. Wii Fit will dominate America, and sell a bit more modestly in EU/Others. Halo Wars will, surprisingly, be a multimillion-seller - not only on the name, but also because the developer works out an actually workable console RTS control scheme. Several new major franchise announcements (Gears of War 3, Mass Effect 2, Metroid Prime 4, Halo 4, Uncharted 2) will come to fruition before the end of the year. Killzone 2 sees reviews similar to its predecessors.

Unexpected: LittleBigPlanet flops due to lackluster reviews praising the graphics, but stating that the game is completely lacking in other areas. Spore is delayed across the board into '09. Mario Kart Wii meets with lesser reviews than Double Dash and MKDS, but sells in the millions anyway. Nintendo announces a revival of the Kid Icarus franchise - on the DS. Eidos/Crystal Dynamics announces a new Legacy of Kain game that will finally give a satisfactory end to the franchise.

(Okay, maybe that last one should be filed under "pipe dreams"...)



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
