Atari's been hiding Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure for a while. I mean that literally; to hear word one about the game at last year's E3, you had to navigate through their weird art-deco buffet lounge to an exterior balcony in the Staples Center. There, you'd find Getting Up inside a locked room, which only opened at irregular intervals. For all we knew coming out of E3, Getting Up was a fishing sim.
A year later, they aren't being quite as secretive. Getting Up, the brainchild of

The new Jak and Daxter game is a racer? Yes, this appears to be the case. While limited scenarios for Jak X were on display on the show floor, we were able to go behind closed doors into a meeting that showcased some of the special, still-developing features of this title. Developers from both Naughty Dog and Readybydawn were on hand, and answered a lot of questions about how the games were made, how

Genre: MMORPG

Developer: Funcom
Release Date: Q2 2006
Last week, I sat down with Gante Godager, game developer at Funcom, to take a look at a pre-alpha version of the upcoming action/adventure/strategy/MMORPG title, Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures. While there were understandable issues with such an early build of the game, much of what is in place is impressive, and if the game can deliver on the promises on what is planned for future development, Funcom may have a hit on their hands.

The Sanderson family just got the ultimate in high-tech, house-helper technology: Chibi-Robo. In this inventive, story-driven game, players guide a miniature robot as he completes chores and clashes with enemies in his epic quest to become the highest-ranked Chibi-Robo out there. The living room can be a dangerous place when you're a robot less than a foot tall, so players will need to team up with the native toys to overcome obstacles, rack up points and keep the family happy.
