"What happens when two women want the same thing?"Kotaku had a competition involving making a cover for an imaginary Tomb Raider game. This gave me an opportunity to think about an idea which I've had for some time: a crossover game starring Lara Croft and Carmen Sandiego.Why would this game work? Let me share my reasons.Mainstream Appeal - When it comes to video game characters that have crossed over into the mainstream, Lara Croft and Carmen Sandiego are up there with Mario and Pac-Man.

Why my chick card will be revoked-- like now-- especially after you read this. - (USA)
Recently I was having a conversation with someone about movies. She was telling me her favorite movie was some chick flick that I had never seen. She asked me what my favorite movie was, and when I told her I think her jaw hit the floor. (Band of Brothers! Thanks for asking! Just hearing the music makes me happy...) She screwed up her nose all funny and said "Ewww. How can you possibly LIKE those kind of shows? They are SO gross." I got a little irritated and said: "I dunno. How can someone as s

The definition of a slow Monday morning in Hollywood - (USA)
We’ve only got news on one remake, one sequel, and few odd cultural jeremiads on the same theme. * I’ve just barely finished my decades-long personal boycott of the original, and now there they’re talking about a remake of John Milius’s “Red Dawn” . The 1984 film may seem a bit quaint now that it’s old enough to be ready to finish grad school but at the time it seemed to me an irresponsible act of cultural provocation with potentially catastrophic impact if people took it too seriously.

Aliens: Colonial Marines Not Cancelled - (USA)

This often leads to delays or even outright cancellation of projects in development. Gearbox studios is one of the most recent studios to announce a cutback in staff, laying off anywhere from 15-26 employees. With a reduction in workforce many have been worried about the cont

Square Enix Starts California Game Studio — A Portent For The Future? - (USA)

As chairman of the Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association (CESA), he keynoted the 2008 Tokyo Game Show in mid-October — and spoke about little else. “Why has the Japanese industry lost its position?” he rhetorically asked. According to the chairman, the answer was primarily the Japanese developer’s general unwillingness
