Sony's next entry in the "Play, Create, Share" genre is drawing near. ModNation Racers is launching simultaneously on PS3 and PSP on May 25. Both versions of the game will feature a career mode, online multiplayer and a track editor. If you read our interview with United Front Games' producer Dan Sochan, you'll already know that there's even some connectivity: play both versions of the game to unlock additional content on the PSP.
In addition, Sony has announced a few pre-order incentives. Various retailers will offer extra characters, including Ratchet and Clank, Nathan Drake, and...
Fallout developer Brian Fargo is going back to his roots, announcing today that Bethesda has picked up his new dungeon crawler Hunted: Demon's Forge. Described as "third-person co-op fantasy action game," it is being developed for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
Developed by Fargo's inXile Entertainment, it will be more like Gears of War than Demon's Souls in its emphasis on taking cover against enemy attacks. Bethesda emphasized Fargo's experience with fantasy games in their release, noting his work on The Bard's Tale and Baldur's Gate.

Eleven days ago, Harmonix delivered on a concept many of us had fantasized about since the very first time we ever played Rock Band: It democratized the track-making process. For the first time in the franchise's history, any schmo off the street with a bit of MIDI engineering experience and a song in their heart could put that song on the Rock Band Store for the world to see (and hopefully purchase).
At GDC, Harmonix senior sound designer Caleb Epps and Rock Band Network producer Matthew Nordhouse sat down to speak about the challenges that came with opening up the game to user-generated...

After a rocky launch period, EA assures us via Twitter that the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 online servers should now be finally stable. Pretty much every iteration of Bad Company 2 has seen issues arise when connecting to EA's servers for multiplayer online, with Xbox 360 kicking some users all the way out to the Dashboard and PC users experiencing authentication issues with PunkBuster.
The developer now says that those issues have been addressed, due in no small part to new servers being added over the weekend. "All new hardware is in place and ready to serve your BFBC2...

ModNation Racers has come a long way since the release of its public beta last year. Since then, Sony San Diego Studios and United Front Games have expanded the franchise quite a bit, adding a number of new creation tools, four-player split-screen support and even a PSP counterpart. We chatted with ModNation Racers producer Dan Sochan about what's new, and what we can expect from the future, including support for the PlayStation Move motion controller.

It would appear that finger skating is about to go "pro" with a Tony Hawk game for iPhone. The pro skater recently tweeted, "In the PR world, this is considered 'going rogue,' but I'm too excited. This is real & dropping soon." The attached picture, as you can see above, appears to be an iPhone version of his venerable skating series. The message has since been deleted, but as we saw it on the feed of an Activision employee, we feel pretty confident it's on the level.
Man, Tony just couldn't be more of a rebel, could he? Not only is he a skateboarder, putting curb wax on church...

Very few games manage to instill a pure kind of terror such as Limbo, an aptly-titled puzzle-platformer in development for the past four years. Winner of multiple IGF awards, Limbo is a beautiful and haunting journey, one that must be experienced to be understood -- and thankfully, you'll be able to experience it on Xbox Live Arcade this summer. Like Braid and Shadow Complex before it, Limbo is likely to become the headlining downloadable game of the year.
To describe Limbo in great detail would be a huge disservice to gamers. What makes Limbo so mesmerizing is its mysterious quality: the...

The long-awaited Castlevania: Rondo of Blood is finally available on the U.S. Virtual Console. If you haven't already broken down and picked up Dracula X Chronicles for the PlayStation Portable, you can get it along with two new WiiWare games and four DSiWare titles.
The version we're getting is apparently the untranslated Japanese original, because the opening cutscene features Japanese characters. There isn't much in the way of Japanese in the rest of the game though, so don't worry about overcomplicated menus. It's available for 900 Wii Points ($9).
The big WiiWare...
Former Team Ninja head Tomonobu Itagaki went into detail on his new company, Valhalla Game Studios, in a recent issue of Famitsu, and also teased a new website. That site launched earlier this month (with an English version!) and includes interviews with the game designers and programmers, details on the company, and a column by Itagaki himself, who is Valhalla's Chief Technical Officer and game design lead. The first edition of "Itagaki's Thought" covers what he's been doing for the past two years, touching on his work as a photographer, his fascination with professional...
If you've been holding out on buying an Xbox 360 for the last five years until it drops below $150, and, um, you live in Canada, you'll be totally psyched to hear that the Arcade bundle of Microsoft's console is currently on sale in the great white north for just $130.
The Xbox Canada site lists the price drop for both Futureshop and Best Buy, though we also found it over at Amazon Canada and GameStop Canada. Get 'em while you can! We've followed up with Microsoft to clarify whether or not this is a permanent change for our Canadian friends, and, of course, if we'll be seeing a...
You may think that, being born into this world, Tomonobu Itagaki escaped the womb wearing a pair of sunglasses and one bitchin' leather jacket -- and you may well be right. Back then, medical records simply did not document such phenomena. Also, if the records did, we wouldn't know because we can't read Japanese. Let's just say he did.
Moving on, it would seem Itagaki doesn't have to don the shades and treated animal skin for every picture taken, as this interview with his new outfit, Valhalla Game Studios, shows. Around the office, Itagaki is your usual stylish glasses-wearing, button...

I think we can all agree that, aside from being hit by a speeding train or dropping a hot meal you've been cooking for hours, being fired from your job is like, the worst thing that can happen to you. As such, we expected the speakers on last week's GDC rant panel, titled "Fired and Fired-up: Jobless Developer's Rant," to be especially inflammatory. We were not disappointed.
Just past the jump, we've highlighted three of our favorite presentations from the panel. Some of them get awfully, explicitly blue, so if you happen to find yourself reading this video game news site while at...
