Well, it's that time of year again, the holiday season, where we all take a minute to sit back and think of what it's really all about: presents! But with so many different games, DVDs, and toys all coming out at the same time -- and with the launch of the PS3 and Wii -- how can you know what goodies are really worth railroading your spouse, parent, loved one, grandma into buying for you?
As civic minded as we are here at IGN, we've decided to step in and help you sift through the massive list of holiday releases by offering up a buying guide that details our picks for the season ahead. We've compiled a list of top games for each platform and have thrown in a bunch of DVDs, toys, and gear for good measure. And even if you don't own one of the game systems, be sure to check out every list as there are plenty of multiplatform games to go around.
Happy holidays!
A gorgeous real-world Miraidon from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has been created in Japan by the Toyota Engineering Society.
JDR thinks the gaming industry needs more licensed IPs. It's basically a cry for Firefly: The Game, and why not? JDR delves deeper into why more isn't adapted for the interactive screen.
Nah. Video games are their own thing they wouldn't be improved by leeching off Hollywood more.
Read the article and it gives no mention of the many problems prevalent with licensed IPs, such as games and dlc being delisted when their licenses expire, Adult Swim games being the most recent example.
Only if they're good, if its going to be a 2D sprite art game, you can get away with a small team and small budget. But if you're going to make it a 3D polygonal game, you're going to need a large team with a large budget, and often times these licensed games are quickly pushed out the door, unpolished, rough, boring, bland, snorefest at best, and downright broken at worst.
We have an Indiana Jones and James Bond game currently being developed by two veteran teams with I assume fairly sizeable budgets. Let's hope they turn out to be worthwhile.
A new Mad Max game to coincide with the upcoming film would have been awesome. I loved the first game, I'm guessing it didn't sell too well as they never bothered following it up.
"The Game Music Foundation are today very proud and pleased to announce an additional concert, circling back to the roots of Game Muisic Festival in Poland.

Well, it's that time of the year again to be buying stuff for people so I thought I'd post this.
One of my reasons for submitting this was to try and get some feedback on what I should get my 11 year old sister for her birthday, which is at the end of November. She has a DS Lite so I was trying to think of a nice DS game to get her, but I could also get her a Gamecube/Wii, or a ps2 game, or just a normal present that isn't videogame related. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it. And if anyone suggests Gears of War I'm going to strangle them.
