This is why you shouldn’t provoke developers. Actually, to be more accurate, this is exactly why you should.

by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under E3 - E3 2006 May 12th

You are in control of two fish and you must use them to rearrange the objects in a given level in such a way that the fish can exit unharmed. One of the fish is bigger and can move even heavy steel objects while the other one is smaller and can enter the holes and corridors that are too narrow for its bigger partner. Simple as it may seem, this principle offers a variety matched only by its complexity.

Release Date: Q2 2006

Joe Keiser: Dreamfall was one of my most anticipated games of last year, but now that it's been pushed into 2006, it has even less competition – it's my most anticipated game of the next 12 months, without question. The first game proved that the adventure genre still had plenty of life, in the hand of great creators. Ragnar Tornquist is that creator – Dreamfall looks to be gorgeous, deeply and intricately storied, and plans to make just enough concessions to the action-oriented to make it a game absolutely

Xbox Preview - 'Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis'

Genre: FPS, simulation
Publisher: Codemasters
Developer: Bohemia Interactive
Release Date: October 3, 2005

The first thing I noticed when the fine developers at Bohemian sat down with me to demo Operation Flashpoint was that the graphics were… to put it kindly, not exactly cutting edge.
