Fargo is not a stranger to remakes. Fargo's comapny InXile Entertainment remade the 1985 The Bard's Tale in 2004. It is possible that he is looking to do the same for Choplifter through downloadable channels. Choplifter first appeared in 1985 on the Apple IIe. Since then Choplifter was made on the Commodore 64, Atari 5200, Atari 7800, Atari 8-bit, ColecoVision, Commodore 64, MSX, NES, and Sega Master . Soon it might be possible to add Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, or even Nintendo WiiWare ore DSiWare. [Source - GameSpot]

Kotick does not feel confident with Sony and he is getting "concerned". He points out that the Xbox and the Wii platforms are much easier to develop for. He also mentions that Sony is expensive to support. Kotick suggest that Sony should cut their price or Sony will continue to lose attach rates. "...we might have to stop supporting Sony", says Kotick. Analysts continue to predict a price cut will be coming as soon as the end of the summer when games start to release for the holiday season.

fun before E3 2009 even started. The day before E3, Activision threw a secret party at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles. It was not much of a secret leading up to the party with Eminem Twittering about the available passes the day of. At the Activision party, Jay-Z and Eminem threw down a few tracks to get everyone excited about the game. Travis Barker and DJ AM even showed up to express their support. During E3, Activision showed off DJ Hero
at the Activision stage throughout the show. Jamie Jackson from Freestyle Games continued to demo the game on stage for attendees and behind closed doors. He made mixing look cool and fun even though it was all a video game on a plastic turntable. DJ Hero will include up to 100 tracks. Songs from Beck, No Doubt, Rick James, Foo Fighters, and Beastie Boys will be included. The game will have the ability to play with two other friends pairing up with someone on a guitar and vocals. The game at first looks intimidating like Guitar Hero
when it was first introduced. Do not let that fool you. When you get your hands on the turntable and the game, you will not want to let go of it. It is that fun. [Source - Activision]

]]>EA Throws Another Punch With Fight Night Round 4 At E3 2009http://www.gamerintel.com/main/2009/6/9/ea-throws-another-punch-with-fight-night-round-4-at-e3-2009.htmlGamerIntel2009-06-10T04:31:15ZFight Night: Round 4. Fight Night: Round 4
continues the tradition in looking its best on what is now the current gen consoles. The physics is now better and EA has now added the stats we always wondered in every match. Also the controls are much improved. Did we mention that the physics is better?
Fight Night: Round 4
was promptly shown at E3 this year which is now days before the launch of the game as it hits stores on June 25. Pretty much the version on the show floor was the final version and it does not disappoint. You can actually see the muscles flex and move with each hit. The stats are promptly shown on the bottom of the screen now. No more of guessing if you have worn down your opponent. The controls are also easier as we were able to figure out all the moves without going through them before our first match. Fans of Fight Night Round 3 will not be disappointed and will be happy with the improvements. If you are looking for a game to play before EA's Madden 10 this summer, this is one to look at.

This online shooter is set to go above and beyond the any standard shooter on a console with one thing - 256 online multiplayer. Zipper Interactive has been known for SOCOM series. They were the ones to bring the first PlayStation 2 online game. A lot of gamers were skeptic on the ability to run MAG
with a 256 player match smoothly without any logs, drop outs, or difficultly in matching up with others. Sony brought the game to E3 2009 to continue to convert more skeptics.
GamerIntel had some hands on game play for a while and quickly after the first five minutes there were some quick thoughts. With 256 players in the game, it worked and worked without any lag. To have some control between both sides, the 256 players are divided into platoons of 64. All with a goal to meet in the middle. The feel of the game felt as if MAG
was Battlefield running on the PC. The controls were easy to figure out after a few minutes. Respawning is very similar with Battlefield and set at respawn waves. Overall the game felt very close to Battlefield with just a lot more players. MAG
is set to release later this year exclusively for the PlayStation 3. [Source - Sony]

was the first game that was announced. The game will keep a lot of the things we know and love from this Nintendo classic including coins, mushrooms, pipes, and even the flag at the end of each level. The biggest change is four player coop. Not only you will be able to play with Mario and Luigi but two other Toads as well. Yoshi will make an appearance as a support character. The Wii Remote give the game some added features as well. The new propeller suit allow players to fly with a shake of the Wii Remote. Another new power is Penguin Mario that shoots out snow balls that turn enemies into blocks of ice.
During E3, GamerIntel was able to get some game time with the game along with three other players. The game feels and plays the same as its predecessors. The four player coop can get a little insane fighting for the coins and power ups. Most of the time it did feel like you had to avoid the other players as much as you do with enemies on screen. Even though the four player coop is still fun. The biggest let down is the lack of online coop. Hopefully Nintendo will work on getting online coop added to the game before its release. Nintendo plans to have New Super Mario Bros.
released this winter 2009 right before the holidays for the Nintendo Wii. [Source - Nintendo]
