*Gearbox Software completely redesigned Unreal Engine 3’s lighting system
to make the Xenomorphs in Aliens: Colonial Marines able to hide in the shadows. This month’s EDGE magazine has a six page preview.
*Greg Johnson, one of the two creators of ToeJam & Earl (the other being Mark Voorsanger) is working on a game for Sony. His current studio HumaNature is currently looking for new people.
*To celebrate the launch of Rush Rush Rally Racing on the Wii (Wiiware), RedSpotGames dropped the price of the Dreamcast version by 50% (thanks
to DCEmulation for the news).
*SEGA launched a new arcade game: Operation G.H.O.S.T. (a semi-sequel to Ghost Squad, we suppose). Hopefully we’ll be able to find an arcade that has an actual cabinet..
*Next weeks Famitsu magazine will include an input code which will unlock a special rare card in SEGA’s Samurai & Dragons (PS Vita) game.
*Total War Battles: Shogun (iPad, iPhone & iPod Touch) is now available from the iTunes App Store. It’s their ‘Game of the Week’ too.
*Finally, we won’t be reporting about SEGA Japan’s Super Monkey Ball: Banana Splitz promotion because we deem it both sexist and sad. So there.
Colour us surprised..SEGANews.net is currently available from the Google Play App store in the form of an actual Android App! It’s free, so give it a try.
We’re not sure who’s behind this App, but if we can help you in any way to make it work better (text formatting, official logo?) drop us a line.
