'Rez' (XBLA) - Facts & Screens

by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under Tokyo Game Show - Tokyo Game Show 2007

Originally released by SEGA in Japan in 2001 for the Dreamcast and PlayStation2 computer entertainment system, followed by a North American release only for the PlayStation 2 and European release on both platforms in early 2002, Rez was developed by SEGA's United Game Artists ("UGA") division.

PC Preview - 'Sabotage'

by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under E3 - Post - E3 2007

Genre: Stealth-Action
Publisher: Gamecock
Developer: Replay Studios
Release Date: 2008

"We're a team based in Germany," the developer said, "and we're making a World War II stealth action game."

An awkward silence followed.

Most of the World War II games that have come out up until now have been riding a bizarre nostalgia wave. WWII has come to occupy an odd niche in American society as the last good fight; after that, it's all downhill and shades of gray.

Sabotage is most notable because it's not being made by Americans or Brits, so it's coming from an obviously different place.
