I'm a PhD researcher in Computer Science, and I research game technology at the Expressive Intelligence Studio (http://eis.ucsc.edu/). I get to experience games from the science to the consumption, and there is a lot that most people don't get to see. No event captures the communities behind the products better than the annual Game Developers Conference (http://www.gdconf.com).
People from all different vocations from all over the world at all different points in their career gather for one week to discuss innovations and future directions of video games. There is so much collaboration and sharing of creative and expressive endeavors through interactive media, and at GDC, you get to meet people from all the big companies as well as the independent developers. It's a diverse and friendly community of creative thinkers, artists, musicians, programmers, designers, and so much more.
This video follows the story of the game developer community and shows the faces behind the products. These faces are diverse in gender, race, nationality, profession, and age, all advancing the forefront of video games. Hopefully, seeing games as more than just consumable products helps to show the amazing process that goes into creating them.
I've dedicated my career towards researching and developing technology on the expressive potential of interactive media. For more information about the significance, future directions, and the inevitably magnificent technology of video games see my blog post: http://www.delawarereclaim.com/2010/02/24/video-games-rated-m-for-mature/I'm a PhD researcher in Computer Science, and I research game technology at the... more

What's Sony's upcoming motion controller called? According to Stephen Wadsworth, the president of Disney's Interactive Media Group (aka Disney's games division), it's "Gem."
Wadsworth mentioned "Gem" during his keynote presentation at DICE 2010. He was discussing the expansion of Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 through Project Natal and (apparently) "Gem."
Patrick Seybold, Sony's senior director of corporate communications and social media, dismissed the mention as non-news over Twitter. "Same code name from earlier," he said.
Apparently Mr. Wadsworth is just a little behind the times in the code name world.
The still "officially" unnamed motion controller has also been called Arc. It's rumored Arc is the most recent codename, while Gem was an earlier name attached to the controller.What's Sony's upcoming motion controller called? According to Stephen... more

"There are many gamers happy about the StarCraft II beta going live today. Integral to the StarCraft II experience, however, is the revamped Battle.Net, Blizzard's proprietary equivalent to Xbox Live, to be incorporated in all Blizzard games. While talking with Blizzard co-founder and senior VP Frank Pearce at DICE 2010 right around the time the StarCraft II beta was going live (it happened while we were talking), I asked him what Blizzard's ambitions are for the future. Where is Blizzard in five, 10 years?
Pearce is an ambitious man.
"For me, I think about the web 2.0 experience and all the people that are connecting with each other around the world on sites like Facebook," he said, "and I would like Blizzard's Battle.Net to be the equivalent in the gaming space. But that's pretty ambitious."
If Battle.Net doesn't make it that far, he does have a backup plan he'd be happy with, though.
"I would be very, very satisfied if Battle.Net was that just for Blizzard games and the Blizzard community," he said. "The Blizzard community is really what's most important to us, anyway."
Stay tuned for much more from Pearce and other gaming luminaries from DICE this week and next.""There are many gamers happy about the StarCraft II beta going live today.... more

Founded in February of 2008, No Fuss Reviews was created by Matthew Riches from the quaint town of Ipswich, UK with the sole aim of providing quick score-only reviews. The idea was born after much frustration from other bloated advert heavy video game websites and how difficult it was sometimes to simply see a score out of 10 for any given game.
As you may know, we at Attitude Towers also take a different view on reviews and review scores, so we’ve watched No Fuss Review with some interest, but the best news is yet to come.Founded in February of 2008, No Fuss Reviews was created by Matthew Riches from the... more

The Ubisoft info train just keeps rolling today, as the publisher has revealed that the next Assassin’s Creed, which continues the story of Ezio Auditore da Firenze, will take place in Rome. The confirmation came during Ubisoft’s third quarter financial call.
Seeing as the first game ended in Italy’s capital city, this news is far from surprising, but it’s still good to know, especially since, as Ubisoft explained, it means Ezio will be taking the fight to those dastardly Templars on their turf. It’s about time too. I mean, if you don’t count the end of Assassin’s Creed II.
Ubisoft also said that the game will feature "very innovative assassination multiplayer,” and that the publisher will be putting a heavy emphasis on cooperative multiplayer in all future titles as well.

Since it was first announced back at E3, the official name for Sony’s motion controller has continued to be shrouded in mystery. Sure, there was that anonymous source who first leaked the “Arc” name which subsequently sent the internet into a speculation fueled frenzy. Oh, and lets not forget about the time we discovered that PlayStationArc.com is indeed registered by Sony, along with the more recently created EyePetArc.com. However, if you’re still not convinced, head on past the break for even more Arc supporting material.Since it was first announced back at E3, the official name for Sony’s motion... more
