London UK – Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) Worldwide Studios has been credited with four awards at the Japan Game Awards 2006 hosted at Tokyo Game Show. The awards were given to three PLAYSTATION®3 titles – Heavenly Sword, Gran Turismo® HD and THE EYE OF JUDGMENT – and to the PlayStation®2 game, Shadow of the Colossus.
K-Pop Academy is an upcoming pop star management simulator from the game studio that brought you Tsuki’s Odyssey and Campfire Cat Café.
Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "Mortal Kombat 9 revived the series from a low point after bringing it back to 2D combat. It marked a new high-point for the franchise due to its incredible roster, exciting cinematic story mode, and high-octane combat."
Shaolin Monks is a forgotten gem. I would love to see a new one, or a remake of the old.
That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.
The new unit comprises over 500 developers representing the entire World of Warcraft development team.
I used to be anti-union, it kills productivity, investment and turns product mediocre. Their games suck anyways though so what was lost? Might as well get their people paid until they are dissolved.
Unions are necessary regardless of how you feel. You know how fked the working class would be without them. As if we're not already.
No they aren’t, regardless of how you feel. Unions make zero sense for skill based labor. They are for people who press a button every 10 seconds on an assembly line. “working class” is a made up term. I don’t care about corporations or developers, I just want good games lol. Killing your incentives to appease the lowest common denominator doesn’t lead to great games imo
I wasn’t trying to be offensive if I came off that way. The Union is an old mentality and I can see their usefulness but also the danger. We’re in the age of AI and robots and skill based labor. Unions can be dangerous these days. You could replace your entire workforce in one move. Checkmate. Look to the kiosk replacing workers in the 20 dollar minimum wage era.
Well run businesses don’t need unions. If you need a Union that business won’t survive anyway. Unless it’s propped up by the government with corporate welfare (which is the real issue). If you’re not going to spend some on your workers (Amazon, Google) then your welfare is cut off. No tax breaks. All you put together don’t match their wealth and resources, the union is a traditional memory at this point and counterproductive with this new enemy we face. They need a flying elbow from the top ropes. And by “working class is a made up term” I just mean we’re not a class system and even CEO Bobby Kotick puts in a days work lol. Or did.. It’s just a vague term that doesn’t mean anything no offense lol. People say “middle class” but that can change quick right? Up or down. That’s not a “class system”.
Shadow of the Colossus is worthy of any award bestowed upon it, except maybe "Best Multiplayer"(that'll be for the sequel :P). Seriously though; happy to see its still getting the recognition it deserves. GREAT game.
Yeah, imagine how many days you could spend roaming the earth looking for Collossi on the PS3. Maybe a game like this where you can use the Collosi to help you fight other Collosi and invading armies? That would Kick A&&.
That blokes grown alot. The last time he was pictured he was no bigger than an Umpa Lumpa. He's been eating his Shreddies!
A little off the topic but it's nice to see the original picture of the PS3 held by Ken K.
For some reason previous publishers (like the guekavara wannabe or whatever) had an edited picture with 200% zoomed PS3.
team, responsible for GT-HD, received their pre-release award at this years TGS. Sony Hater or Not; In all of my years of gaming I've NEVER seen the attention to detail and realism put into a racing sim as the GT series. Since it's debut (which seems like a hundred years ago) other developers have often imitated but never quite duplicated the raw strength and beauty of Gran Turismo. I wish ALL developers would take Polyphony's approach to bringing an idea to public fruition. Kaz and his team literally eat, drink, breathe, and live Gran Turismo 24 hours a day, and it shows from the time you push the power button. I expect that GT will continue to greatly influence the hordes of car loving fanatics around the world and provide a car simulation experience second to none! Nurburgring in HD? Here I come! Viva The "Real Driving Simulator." Congrats Polyphony on a well deserved award.
