Quick! Turn On Sci-Fi! Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Apparently the Sci-Fi channel is showing the WC movie TONIGHT at 11:30pm Eastern time. If you've somehow managed to miss it before, or you need a copy on VHS, this is your chance! Thanks to Shades for pointing this out.

A Closer Look At EA And The PSP Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

On Friday we spent some more time working in the EA areas and found their cushy secret VIP room at the show. It was more elaborate than the actual front offices of some other developers. We also got into a nice Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth screening that was fairly impressive. The game interface has been streamlined and made more efficient to handle the massive battles being carried out in the C&C Generals engine. Soldiers reactive intuitively to battle conditions (fear and excitement) and the scope of the conflict seems really great. We tried to make another run through the Nintendo DS line today, but too many people had the same idea. I did get a good look at the Sony Playstation Portable however. Yesterday I mentioned that I was pleasantly surprised by how the Nintendo DS worked out. The PSP is also surprisingly slick. The screen has to be seen to be believed. The games and movies playing on it look incredible, and the screen is even larger than the GBA's. It will play music and movies and also incorporate wireless functions. What if they release the Wing Commander movie for the UMD PSP format? There is also an exciting Global Positioning Satellite attachment feature in one picture I snapped. That has some exciting potential.

As usual, there are more pictures here. I also completed the writeup for Day Two, including some discussion on EA's place in the video game market. Thanks for visiting today.

Catching Up With Destination Software, Inc Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

At last year's E3 we got our first hands on look at Destination Software and Raylight Studios' Prophecy Advance. I found the Destination team again at this year's show and talked to them about the developments of the last year. The game finally made it out approximately one year ago and is still one of the most technologically impressive games on the system. Its original four-pilot multiplayer linkup is loads of fun. The DSI group was happy to find out that we bring people from around the world together to play exciting Prophecy multiplayer matches. Apparently sales for the title have been strong and the game continues to sell. Although this usually increases the prospects for additional games, the complicated licensing agreement involved with this one makes things more complex. I really really want a Wing Commander game for the PSP or DS now.
