I'm really disappointed— I thought these videos were made within their respective games. Turns out they're not, according to this Wired article by killjoy Daniel Terdiman.

The respective fates of Oddworld's Stranger and Double Fine's Psychonauts have crossed paths once again. After both being signed on by Microsoft as Xbox exclusives, both suffering delays, and both being dropped by MS, this time the meeting ground is the PS2. While we heard yesterday that Stranger's PS2 port has been cancelled for lagging behind the Xbox version, we also received word that Psychonauts will now be ported to the PS2. One wanes, the other waxes.
Look for this box in stores November 21st, because it comes free with the purchase of a $149 Nintendo DS.
From now until November 14th, if you manage to buy two 2005 editions of any EA Sports games (new, not used), and send EA $4, you will get a third one free. I'd be all over this if it worked for EA Sports BIG games too, like Def Jam: Fight For NY and NBA Street, but it is not so.

You don't have to be a goth girl to be floored by how Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge is turning out, as seen in this Tokyo Game Show trailer. It would probably totally help though. Read on after you get back from Thailand (if necessary, and if not— hello, my name's Matt, what's yours?) and Hot Topic.

If one were to be part of the minority known as Mac gamers, it seems to me that one would more less absolutely need this. It's a subscription that delivers to one's door, every 6.5 weeks or so, a DVD-ROM with game demos and game movies, as well as shareware games. All sorts of bonuses, too, like a 10% discount on games and a free game from a list of eight, five of which actually don't suck. The only thing is, at a low price of $49 for a year ($89 for two, which also lets you pick a second free game), you might feel like it doesn't have that Apple cachet. If so, I'm sure you could work out something with them where you could pay twice as much.

Today's news is just full of Stallone. The upcoming Rambo DVD Box Set is packing in a demo disc for the Xbox version of Full Spectrum Warrior. I guess Rambo is a full spectrum warrior in the sense that he can kill enemies in every possible way.

The details of the article don't make it 100% clear, but it looks like this is a one-shot magazine about all the Sony MMGs: EverQuest, the upcoming EQ II, Planetside, and Star Wars Galaxies. I'm sure it will be slick, highly entertaining, and informative, since the games it covers are so spectacularly awesome in those regards. More likely it will hit stands missing pages, full of misspellings, with dark blue text on a black background, and consist mostly of plagiarized Cat Fancy articles.

Ah, Rocky IV, the pinnacle of 80s cheese flicks. No other film embodies the cheese flick more; you cannot deny it. Sly Stallone wakes up each day and uses his expensive private spy satellite network (paid for by Rocky IV) to see if Al-Qaeda has instituted a terrorist training camp devoted to boxing, and each morning he is disappointed. Without the touch of reality such an event would provide, his plans for Rocky VI would surely fail.

The beta is officially over with this release of a demo that's representative of what the game will be like when it's released on Oct. 12th. A whopping 483MB, it includes four maps and is otherwise fully featured.

Or rather, their old (and I mean old) president is trying to get them to. He's retired and serving only as an advisor, but he could be very stubborn when he was younger, so just imagine now.

There will be no less than five different ways to buy Half-Life 2: two in stores, three through Steam. Fansite Half-Life Fallout has the details of each package.

DICE, makers of Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield Vietnam, announced that they're licensing the use of their upcoming modern-combat-themed Battlefield 2 to a Swedish military contractor, for use in developing a training simulator, which on the one hand makes sense because DICE themselves are a Swedish based company, and on the other hand also makes even more sense because the Swedish military very much needs to learn how to ditch out of single occupant planes onto the undefended bases of their enemies, which if I remember correctly are either the Finnish or no one. I always get those two confused.

I'm not sure if this game is any good or not. Probably not. And while it may technically merit a post on account of it being in stores today, I really only wanted to talk about it so I could say Tom Wopat.

And now their plan is finally complete! The evil geniuses at Sierra managed not to sue Elixir Studios, makers of Evil Genius— at least not out in the open— thus allowing Elixir's game Evil Genius to make it into stores today for $49.99.
